Chapter 41 Everyone's Assigned TitlesI stand confidently, surveying the room, as I begin to address my assembled team:"Hello, everyone, and thank you for being here today. As you all know, we have been busy making decisions on all of your places and titles within the Kingdom. Of course, Niklaus, my King, who reigns by my side, will continue to be my partner in leadership."I pause, making eye contact with each individual, before continuing:"Just under me is David, my First Officer, will focus on diplomacy and foreign relations. . Kie, my Second Officer, will oversee our kingdom's defense, and Abatrose, my Third Officer, will lead our internal affairs and development."As I speak, Dad and David work efficiently, setting up training materials and equipment, and preparing each officer for their specific roles.The room is filled with anticipation, as my team awaits further instructions and guidance.

Chapter 42 Old Friends and New Concerns"I have a special announcement to make tonight," I said, building anticipation. "A surprise addition to our family and crew, who will also serve as advisors alongside Bella and Matt." The room erupted in cheers and applause as I turned to welcome them."Please welcome Papa Mojo, his son Benoit, and his granddaughter Mykilia!" I exclaimed, beaming with joy."For those who didn't know him," I added, "Papa Mojo is a revered Voodoo priest from New Orleans, who has helped rescue many of us, including myself, from forces beyond our understanding."Papa Mojo's iconic smile lit up the room as he embraced me warmly. "I knew we would become family," he said, his eyes twinkling. "I saw it."Niklaus, his old friend, wrapped him in a hearty hug, symbolizing the bond between them. Sometimes, old friends just grow to become family members, and this was one of those times.The room resonated with love, acceptance, and excitement, as we welcomed our new family m
Chapter 43 New Species, Friend or Foe?The team's eyes widened in unison as Abatrose finished speaking. "A hidden city?" Sam said his voice barely above a whisper. The room was silent as if no one dared to breathe. I watched as the news sank in, their faces reflecting a mix of shock, amazement, and curiosity. "How did we not know about this?" Kie asked, breaking the silence. Abatrose shook his head. "It's well-hidden. We stumbled upon it by chance." The team began to murmur among themselves, their voices filled with excitement and wonder. *David, does Atlantis have any records of other life forms on this planet?* I asked and he immediately became worried, *Have you discovered something? I am on my way*David said. The communication ended, and I could sense his urgency, his royal composure momentarily set aside. as I waited for David's arrival. He appeared scanning me with his eyes for any hurt or harm, "Are you ok?" he kissed me softly, wrapping his arms around me tight. I explained
Chapter 44 The ConfrontationThe ship's alarm sliced through the air with a sharp, metallic tone, my crew sprang into action with practiced precision. As they all took their positions, tension mounted, but we had all prepared for this moment.From my throne, I gave the order: "Atlantis, execute warp maneuver. Place us directly in front of their ship and lock on."The ship's warp drive ignited with a burst of energy, its advanced chroniton injectors and plasma flow regulators working in perfect harmony. The Atlantis surged forward, its hull glowing with a faint, blue-white light as it pierced the fabric of space-time.The ship's passage through warp speed was smooth and silent, leaving behind a trail of distorted space-time.The viewscreen flared to life at my command: "On screen!"With a burst of light, Atlantis dropped out of warp drive directly in front of the reptilian ship, its sleek hull gleaming with a fierce, battle-ready intensity."Locking on..." David announced, his fingers
Chapter 45 Alone TimeAs we sat down to dinner, the room buzzed with excitement. Everyone eagerly shared their account of the confrontation with Zorvath, talking over each other in their enthusiasm. I listened with a warm smile, feeling grateful for their energy.My men looked at me with love and admiration in their eyes, though I suspected they still underestimated my capabilities - except perhaps Kie, who had seen me in action against Shade Marcus, the demon. Even my father took me aside, beaming with pride, and told me how impressed he was with my leadership.But the truth was, I would battle anyone and anything to protect my family. They were my world, my everything.Papa Mojo's comedic reenactment of Zorvath's defeat had everyone in stitches, exaggerating the "Lizardman's" cowardice for comedic effect. Even I couldn't help but laugh at his antics, feeling a deep sense of joy and connection with my loved ones.Niklaus and I decided to steal away for some alone time, taking our yac
Chapter 46 Missing Person PostersBack on the yacht I sifted through the missing posters, my heart skipped a beat as I recognized some of the faces and read their stories.. There was Emily, the young girl who had been taken from her bedroom window; Jake, the teenager who had vanished from a park; and Ava, the mother who had been abducted while jogging. All of them were among the ones we had rescued. Back on the island, I gather Lucas, Sam, Brent, and Kie. We decided to do one at a time so we didn't cause too much attention. We would start with Emily, I visited her in the Medical Bay, she was eating but seemed very depressed which was understandable after what she had been through. Sam did some research and found out that they had found her years ago, they had found her clone. David helped me to arrange to teleport her replacing her with her clone, Niklaus had wiped all memory of us and the Reptilians, we would do this while she was sleeping so if she had any difficulty it would s
Chapter 47 One by OneJake was next he would be easier to send back home he had only been missing for a few months. This time I would go with him. Because I also wanted to check in on Emily.Jake was only 13, Jake's clone did not take his place, he was considered still missing, Niklaus had wiped his memory and we both were teleported to the park where he had disappeared from. I called the police and reported that someone had thrown him from a car and sped off, I said he seemed confused but he told me his name was Jake, I stayed with him till his parents arrived overjoyed to have him back. I took a cab to the school where Emily was I told them we were considering moving to the area and I wanted to check out the schools and classes. I have some ability to compel but not as good as Niklaus so I got the principal to show me Emily's class and the teacher let me sit in until the bell rang. Emily seemed happy and ran off to play with her friends before lunch. I watched her giggle and hug th
Chapter 48 VisionsAs I continued to focus on the relaxation techniques and visualization exercises, I felt my mind and body relaxing further. My breathing slowed, and my thoughts grew quieter. The weight of my responsibilities as a leader and protector of Earth began to lift, replaced by a sense of serenity.Benoit's gentle guidance and soothing voice helped me delve deeper into a state of tranquility. I imagined myself in a peaceful environment, surrounded by calming colors and gentle sounds.Just as I thought I was making progress, the vision flashed back into my mind - a glimpse of a dark, foreboding future. I gasped, my chest tightening, and my heart racing. The feeling of unease lingered, refusing to let go.In the session with Benoit, I couldn't shake off the sense of dread. The vision had left me unsettled, and I couldn't help but wonder what it meant."What's going on, Raven?" Benoit asked, his eyes filled with concern. "You seemed to zone out, and now you look like you've se
Chapter 120 Jenkins Elite Delacroix Investigators Six months later.. Admiral Jenkins left a message for Niklaus to call him back, his voice was laced with, urgency. Niklaus called him back, "What's up Admiral?""I can't do this anymore, I'm at my wit's end, Niklaus, they are not what they said they were, and are making things worse, they want to cut all funding for my research after they gained most of my technology. They don't care about the people, it's all about greed, and that's really disappointing," he said, frustration creeping into his voice."Does your offer still stand to fund my division?" he asked hopefully.Niklaus had been thinking about this for some time now he, Kieran, and Sam had been watching what they were doing and where the funding was going. "Instead of funding your division why don't we start our own? That way you don't have to report to anyone but me."Niklaus offered, and Admiral Jenkins's face lit up with a warm smile. Their video conference was on Atlanti
Chapter 119 My EnderlingMonths later I was due any day, Dr brooks had already said that she'd like for me to go on birth control after this one was born to give my body a break. "She is different," Raphael said as he placed his hand on my belly, deep blue symbols started to appear they twinkled like stars in a midnight sky, and then I remembered my dress, Raphael watched in shock as he read what it said, it was in ancient Valtoria, his mother's homeworld. "What does it mean?" I asked my eyes wide with wonder. He whispered it's an ancient language one that is no longer used. He stared at my belly in awe."Raphael, what does it say?" I demanded. now I'm very worried."It says her name, 'Sapphira'." he wiped away tears of joy."Sapphira" I whispered, it was a beautiful name.Then more symbols were added "Tell me Raphael!""Sapphira Alora Delacroix" he whispered, crying."That is the most beautiful name I have ever heard!" I said with tears in my eyes."She has strong magic and she is
Chapter 118 My Siren ChildrenI woke up vomiting, my stomach churning with a sudden intensity. Niklaus's face appeared above me, his eyes etched with concern, as he quickly called in Dr. Brooks. But he already knew, his keen senses detecting the subtle changes within me. He minlinked Raphael, his voice urgent, "I need you here, now." Raphael's response was immediate, "I'm on my way," his tone laced with worry, wondering what was wrong. When he arrived, Dr. Brooks was still examining me, her face a mask of professional calm. Niklaus pulled him aside, his voice low, "I can smell the child inside her, she's pregnant again, with your child." Raphael's face transformed, his eyes lighting up with joy, as tears welled up in their corners, "Mine?" he asked, his voice trembling with emotion. Niklaus nodded, a warm smile spreading across his face, "Yours!" The news hung in the air, a precious moment of pure happiness, as Raphael's heart swelled with love and anticipation.Dr. Brooks's words w

Wayne was our legal advisor.As we gathered in the conference room, Admiral Jenkins bowed his head in respect. "Queen Raven, the private firm is called Altair Holdings. They're willing to provide the necessary funding to keep our division afloat, but we need to be cautious. We don't know their true intentions or what they hope to gain from this partnership."I nodded, my mind already racing with strategies and potential outcomes. "Very well, Admiral. We will proceed with the meeting,
Chapter 116 Part of The ProphecyDr. Brooks walked back in to find him awake, a warm smile spreading across her face. "How are you feeling?" she asked, her voice filled with genuine concern. "The transformation looks good on you!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight. But Wayne's expression was one of confusion, unsure of what was happening. Then, he saw his hands - they were no longer wrinkled and frail, but strong and youthful. His eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Vampires usually age to around thirty, and then it really slows down - aging almost stops," she explained, her voice patient and gentle. She waited for the news to sink in, watching as the realization dawned on him. Wayne's face was a picture of wonder, his mind reeling with the implications of his newfound immortality."Also, you no longer have cancer," Dr. Brooks announced, her smile radiant with joy. Wayne's eyes widened in shock, his face pale with disbelief. "I-Im cu
Chapter 115 Aurora's New MateThe next day, we visited him in his room, where he eagerly awaited his Fusion treatment. "How are you feeling?" Dr. Brooks asked, her face beaming with a warm smile, as she entered the room. He grinned back at her, "I feel great!" he said with a smile, looking revitalized and hopeful. His freshly shaved face and crisp new clothes gave him a renewed sense of confidence. I was surprised to see Aurora walk in and gently take his hand, her eyes shining with kindness. "I'll stay with you the whole time," she whispered softly, her lips brushing against his forehead in a tender kiss. His eyes sparkled with joy, he looked like he was about to cry, his hands shook as he held on to hers, his gratitude and happiness evident in his demeanor.I watched her look at him with sparkles in her eyes and I knew! She had found her mate! I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and this is the reason he was placed in our path.Soon Niko and Niklaus walked in
Chapter 114 Aurora's MateDays turned into months Niko grew, his magic and abilities were astounding. Aethon was asked to bring us to the high council on many occasions, Eryn took great pride in teaching him as he grew, he had learned to walk when he was only six months old, and now he was running. His vocabulary was that of a five-year-old. He had a million questions. He visited the holo deck often for his studies. he wanted to see and feel what he learned. Sophia was shocked at how quickly he caught on.As Niko's abilities continued to impress, the high council's interest in him grew stronger. Aethon would often take us to meet with them, and Eryn beamed with pride over Niko's progress. Niko's curiosity knew no bounds, and his thirst for knowledge was insatiable. He spent hours on the holo deck, immersing himself in various simulations and experiences. Sophia was amazed at his rapid learning, and his ability to grasp complex concepts with ease. "He's a true prodigy," she would often
Chapter 113 Memory LaneI ported to Kie tower, It had been a while since I'd been here his office was nothing like before. All of the painful memories are gone. There were pictures of us and Bella all over the walls and on his desk facing him was one of us in a sexual scene during our Mating dance. I smiled. " I look at that one often," he said coming up behind me, wrapping his loving arms around me. "I miss this!""I miss it too," I whispered, leaning back into his embrace. "I'm so glad we're here now, together again." I reached up and touched the picture, remembering the passion and love we shared that day. "You've changed the office, it's beautiful," I said, turning to face him. "I wanted to erase the past and fill it with our love," he replied, his eyes shining with adoration. "I'm so proud of the life we've built, of our family even if it is unconventional in most of the world." He pulled me close, his lips brushing against my ear. "I love you, my mate." I felt a shiver run dow
Chapter 112 My Sweet Baby BoyOliver came bursting into my room, and I quickly put my finger to my lips indicating to him to be quiet cause Niko was asleep. He climbed into my lap all excited, and with wide eyes, he whispered all the things that he saw at the zoo.I smiled, feeling a warmth in my heart as I watched Niklaus leave the room. Oliver snuggled deeper into my embrace, his eyes still shining with excitement from our zoo adventure."Mommy? you have magic right?" he asked. I nodded."Can you do anything?" he asked his eyes full of hope. "Why what do you want?"Oliver's eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint as he asked, "Mommy, can you make me a baby again?" I smiled and said, "Oh, Oliver, you want to be my little baby again?" He nodded enthusiastically, and I couldn't resist his charming smile. I gently waved my hand, and a warm, golden light enveloped Oliver. He giggled as he felt himself shrinking, his clothes and hair changing, until he was once again my sweet, little bab
