Chapter 69 Shes BackDr. Brookes had suggested a radical approach: shocking Raven into remembering her past. After much deliberation, the group agreed to try. That night, while Raven slept, David meticulously recreated their entire island, hoping the familiar surroundings would spark her memory. However, before she drifted off, Luke and Lucas arrived with a special gift - Her ring. As they slipped it onto her finger, Niklaus guided her finger to touch the stone. "Now, call out to, Mom," he encouraged her and she asked "Mom?" very confused.As Raven sat with the ring on her finger, Rose slowly appeared before them. Niklaus explained the situation to Rose, telling her telling her what had happened and that Raven had lost her way and forgotten her true identity. They gently moved Raven's chair closer to Rose, who reached out and kissed her cheek, with tears in her eyes. She placed two fingers on Raven's forehead, speaking in an ancient language that seemed to hold the weight of centurie
Chapter 70 Our Island DancersThen the kids ran to me, hugging me tight, their little arms wrapped around me like a vice, showering me with love. Abi, in her beautiful Grass skirt, joined the dancers, and my eyes lit up with love and pride, my heart swelling with joy. To my amazement, the male fire dancers joined in, their fire torches twirling in the air, adding a touch of magic to the night. This was a wonderful mix of our heritage, a blend of cultures and traditions. The fire dance was an ancient Mayan Dance of Niklaus's ancestors, one that told stories of their ancient past, its roots deep in the history of his people. The swirling flames seemed to come alive as if the spirits of his ancestors were dancing with us, their stories and legends unfolding in the flickering light.I watched in awe, my eyes fixed on them, as David's finger intertwined with mine, his touch a welcome warmth to my soul. I turned and kissed him with a smile, knowing that our little one was growing inside me
Chapter 71 Baby ShowerTears of joy filled my eyes as the sound of our daughter's heartbeat filled the air, strong and steady. David's hand wrapped around mine, his face beaming with pride and love. I knew in that moment, our little one was going to be a force to be reckoned with, just like her father and mother. Her tiny heartbeat filled us with awe and wonder. We couldn't wait to meet her, hold her in our arms, and watch her grow into the powerful young lady she was destined to be. The months passed, and my family enveloped me in a cocoon of love and care, showering me with tender touches, soothing words, and sweet gestures. They pampered me with gentle massages, nourishing meals, and cozy comforts, preparing me for the arrival of our precious new addition. Each one of my mates took turns reading to my belly, a tradition Niklaus started with our twins, their voices weaving a tapestry of love and wonder. Lacy sewed tiny clothes with her skilled hands, her eyes shining with excitem
Chapter 72 Sleepover and a StrollAfter my baby shower, the twins hosted an epic sleepover, transforming our living room into a gamer's paradise. Their cousins Sarah, Storm, and Eric, joined Oliver, and Abigail all gathered together, each with their high-tech gaming chairs positioned in front of the massive widescreen TV/monitor. The room was aglow with the soft hum of consoles, and the excitement of friendly competition. The air was electric with anticipation as they embarked on an all-night gaming marathon, fueled by snacks, drinks, and their shared passion for adventure.I watched the twins and their cousins with a mix of nostalgia and sorrow in my eyes. This was Karma's favorite pastime to spend with the twins, and her absence felt like a gaping hole in our lives. Niklaus had shared the heartbreaking news with me, and my heart still ached from the loss. I had visited Karma's resting room countless times, sitting in silence, sharing stories, and confiding in her as if she were sti
Chapter 73 Oliver's Drawings Months later...The Island was flourishing, and a sense of pride swelled within me as I saw our home thriving. We had even taken down our shields, a sign of our newfound confidence. Sam had been busy flying his new Shuttle into the mainlands for supplies and food, a task he tackled with enthusiasm. Earth's military had made a secret visit to our Island after asking permission, I was surprised to learn they had been bitter enemies of 'The Order'. Niklaus and I met with them, our minds racing with possibilities. They were amazed at our Technology, their eyes wide with wonder. They welcomed us with open arms, and so, we had become Earth's secret weapon, known only to the Military, but I didn't trust that easily, a hint of skepticism lingering within me, we did not reveal everything that we had."Being on good terms is comforting for a change," Niklaus said, a gentle smile spreading across his face. I nodded in agreement, feeling a sense of relief wash over
Chapter 74 Off-World Trip to Xanthea "Apollo, open communications to Xanthea, and hail them, Code name: 'Transbithia'," David instructed, his voice firm and authoritative. As the connection was established, he was astonished to see his cousin Raphael reigning as King. Raphael, equally surprised, "You're Alive!!!" happy tears flowed down his face, "We thought... It's been so long since we've heard from you."David told him everything that had happened. They chatted, catching up on lost time, and David briefed Raphael on the impending battle. Soon, Queen Bithia joined the conversation, her voice filled with joy and relief at seeing David alive and well. Queen Bithia, much like Raven, was a strong and regal figure, leading her own harem of twenty mates, with Raphael by her side as her King and powerhouse.When Queen Bithia heard about Queen Raven, her face radiated a warm smile, and she exclaimed, "We're thrilled to have the opportunity to meet her and welcome all of you to Xanthea!"

Chapter 75 Arella As I helped the staff prepare breakfast, the aroma of freshly baked pastries and brewing coffee filled the air, tantalizing my senses and invigorating my spirit. I smiled, feeling a sense of warmth and contentment, the staff's laughter and chatter creating a joyful atmosphere. The addition of the new tables and the thoughtful scheduling of work hours had created a sense of harmony and flexibility, allowing everyone to start their day feeling refreshed and relaxed. As the first ones began to trickle in, their faces lit up with smiles as they took their plates.After breakfast, we assembled by the transporters, awaiting the arrival of King Raphael and Queen Bithea. As they emerged from the teleporter rings, accompanied by five of her male mates, David greeted them with a respectful nod. Queen Bithea's expression showed a hint of curiosity, her eyebrows slightly raised, as David didn't bow upon greeting her. His words, "I only bow for my mate and Queen," were spoken
Chapter 76 The Dance I drifted off to sleep, surrounded by the warmth and love of my family, feeling grateful and content. Cuddled between Niklaus and David, wrapped in their arms, holding me close as I cradled Ariella on my chest, I felt a deep sense of peace. Her tiny hands curled around my finger, and her soft breath whispered against my skin, making my heart swell with love. The world outside melted away, leaving only the peaceful haven of our family, and I felt my worries slowly fade.With only two days left before our departure, we had a surprise in store for the Queen, but for now, I would spend the day resting and cherishing moments with my little one, Ariella, feeling grateful for this time together. Niklaus, Lacy, Kie, Sam, and Bella, would take the kids and the rest of the Islanders Shopping, after trading the Queen with three of my Magnolia seedling trees. She was thrilled with her purchase from me, I even threw in two Plumeria trees. David said what she paid for them w
