Chapter 31 Old FriendsAs we mated long into the night, our passion echoing through the halls, my men eagerly waited their turn, their anticipation palpable. "Do you think he was serious about the foursome?" David asked, his voice low and husky, as he listened to the primal growls and moans coming from our bedroom. The sound was intoxicating, a primal symphony that seemed to awaken a deep longing within them. Abatrose's snicker cut through the tension, his good-natured teasing sparking a wave of laughter. "Well, I for one, don't find you all that sexually appealing," he joked, his eyes glinting with amusement. Kie, standing nearby, chuckled along with the others, including David, who was trying to hide his grin. But Kie's expression soon turned serious, his voice taking on a hint of longing. "My love and lust for her still burns bright, demanding to be satisfied," he admitted, his eyes clouding over with a mix of emotions. "I know what it's like to be with her... no woman will ever c
Chapter 32 Kie's Talk with Us AllNiklaus emerged from his private chambers, his exhaustion and hunger evident, yet a contented smile played on his lips after three days of intense mating. He took a seat at the table and ordered the staff to bring food for him and Raven, who was still in bed. The staff promptly brought out steaming trays of food, setting one down in front of Niklaus and another was brought to Raven's bed. As he began to devour his meal with gusto, Kieran walked in. Niklaus nodded for Kie to join him, his eyes fixed on Kie with a warm smile. Kie sat down, and Niklaus continued savoring his food, his moans of satisfaction slowly giving way to a thoughtful expression as he watched Kie eat. As the minutes passed, Niklaus's eyes narrowed, sensing that something was troubling Kie. He slowed his eating, his gaze locked onto Kie's face, concern etched on his features. ."What's troubling you, Kieran?" Niklaus asked, his voice laced with concern."This was a bad idea!" Kie ex
Chapter 33 Kie's Meltdown Niklaus's eyes filled with compassion as he gazed at Kie, his expression a mix of concern and empathy. He had never seen Kieran in so much pain and depression, and it was hurting him to see him like this.He turned to me, his voice low and gentle. *Go be with him. I have never been a jealous man, you know that, my love. I'm ok with it, after all, you do have a child with him already.*His words were laced with a deep understanding, and I knew he meant every word. He was putting Kie's needs before his own, as he had always done, and that only made me love him more.*He desperately needs you,* Niklaus added, his eyes locked on mine, *It's ok love we are good!*I nodded, feeling a lump form in my throat. I knew Kie needed me, and I needed to be there for him. I got up and walked over to Kie, sitting down beside him and taking his hand in mine.Niklaus's eyes never left ours, his expression a mix of love and acceptance. He knew that Kie and I had a long history,
Chapter 34 Family Always Comes FirstAs the yacht disappeared into the horizon, I felt a sense of worry wash over me. I knew that Kie was on a difficult mission, but with Neptune, his AI companion, with him, I felt more at ease. Neptune's advanced technology and capabilities would surely aid Kie in his task, and their constant connection would keep me updated on any developments.I turned to Niklaus, who was standing beside me, his eyes fixed on the sea. "Do you think he'll be okay?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Niklaus nodded, his expression confident. "Kie is a strong and capable vampire, Raven. With Neptune's help, he'll do what needs to be done, and he'll come back to us."I nodded, feeling a sense of trust in Niklaus's words. We stood there in silence for a moment, watching the sea, before Niklaus turned to me and smiled. "Let's build a bonfire and enjoy some wine," he said with a smile.I smiled back at Niklaus, feeling a sense of warmth and comfort at the suggestio
Chapter 35 Harsh RealityKie lay beside his mate Leilani, his voice barely above a whisper. "Baby, you know I love you... and you know about my past with Raven, and our daughter Bella together." Leilani nodded, her eyes locked on his. "Is this about Raven?" she asked, her voice soft.Kie hesitated, searching for the right words. "It's more than that... We are—" But before he could finish, Leilani's words cut through the air. "Mates?" Her gaze held a deep understanding.Kie's eyes widened in shock. "You know?" he asked, his voice laced with surprise.Leilani nodded again. "I've known since the first night on the island. I saw what not being with her was doing to you." Her voice cracked with emotion. "I was going to ask you for a divorce, so you could be with her."Kie's mind reeled as he processed Leilani's words. He had expected anger, sadness, or even betrayal, but not this. Not her willingness to let him go. He took a deep breath, trying to find the right words. "Leilani, I... I don
Chapter 36 Lucas Reveals His Siren NatureLucas had a heart-to-heart talk with his father, and he agreed that it was best to be honest with Lacy, so they sat down and had a long, emotional talk. Lacy's eyes welled up with tears as she understood Lucas' needs and accepted him as a Siren, her heart overflowing with love and acceptance. She had been a Vampire feeder for many years before becoming a Siren Hybrid, so she understood the dynamics of their lifestyle, she knew she was his first love and would always be his number one and hold a special place in his heart, and that was okay with her. But now she needed to come clean also, her voice trembling with nervousness."Lucas, you are aware that I took the DNA fusion as well, and that makes me a siren hybrid," she confessed, her eyes locked on his. " I have learned that I had a mate... " she stopped and tried to explain again "Well, I think she was always my mate. I fell deeply in love with her years ago," she admitted, a blush rising to
Chapter 37 Bella's Rush to the Medical CenterI clutched Kie tightly, our hearts racing with worry as we feared the worst about Bella's condition. The haunting memories of what happened to Lyra flooded our minds, but Shade, the perpetrator, was dead – so who could be behind this? Matt's face was etched with concern, his eyes brimming with tears as he grasped Bella's hand."Matt, have you had any visions?" I asked, my voice laced with desperation.He shook his head, his eyes welling up with tears, his face contorted in anguish. "No," he whispered, his voice cracking with emotion.Dr. Brooks returned, a look of relief washing over her face as she announced, "Everything has checked out normal, but we're still awaiting test results." She turned to Neptune, her holographic display flickering softly."Neptune, please scan Bella for any underlying causes of her illness," Dr. Brooks requested, her voice firm but laced with a hint of desperation."Scanning now," Neptune replied, its digital vo
