Chapter 42 Home I was not ready for this nor did I want it. The taxi arrived to take me to the airport, I quickly booked my flight home from my laptop. I opened the door to leave when I saw her standing there. In a heavy Italian accent, she yells "Kieran Mine!" I had never known this much anger in my entire life My face was burning hot and all of a sudden there were sharp pains in my upper jaw, the room had turned red. And one word escaped her mouth "MINE! with a very loud Hiss!! I wanted to kill this woman! I saw fear in the woman's eyes as I slammed the door in her face to keep from murdering her right there in the hall! I just stood there for a moment trying to figure out what had just happened when my fingers went to my mouth that's when I knew.. I had pricked my finger on my razor-sharp fangs. My eyes widened in shock as I stared, first at the blood on my finger, then at the door I had just slammed shut. The realization hit me like a ton of bricks: I had grown fangs. And
Chapter 43 Raven's Anger The next day, Bella calls worried "Mom are you ok?" "I'm ok sweetheart." I lied. "Mom? Matt had a vision. We know what's going on. Do you need us to come back home?" her voice was shaking. "No, we will work it out somehow, I don't know, but your studies are important," I tell her. Mom, have you talked to Dad yet? silence........ "Mom, he loves you this woman means nothing to him, she wants him but he doesn't want her, he never did." I just listen.. "She has an obsession with Dad like Shade has with you, Mom, it's one-sided and sinister." Just as I hung up the phone Kie busted through the door with vampire speed he grabbed me and in seconds we were upstairs and he slammed the bedroom door behind us, Lucas started to run after his sister but Lyra stopped him, "He won't hurt her, they need time to talk Lucas," she says. "If he lays one finger on her, I'll kill him!!" Lucas threatens, his anger boiling. Kie tries to kiss me but I push him away and hiss at h
Chapter 44 Niklaus puts an End to the Madness "Hello my princess," Niklaus says to Lyra "How is Raven doing?" "Not well Daddy, You have a way with her, I was hoping it would help." Niklaus has a booming voice that vibrates the walls, so I knew he was there before he walked in.. "Hello beautiful!" he smiles. "I hear you have joined our ranks," he leaned in to kiss my cheek, but then I turned my face, my lips crashing down on his, in a hunger so intense. I moaned with delight he tasted so sweet. he could not pull away from me, my taste was divine, "Niklaus, please!" He knew what I wanted, and that could not happen here. He savored one last kiss as he pulled away rock hard." My eyes narrowed, my gaze fixed on Niklaus. I could feel his presence, his power, and it both intimidated and intrigued me. I could smell him and he smelled even better than Lacy did. I wanted to bathe myself in his scent. I moaned, and he smiled he knew my thoughts and my needs. "Niklaus," I said, my voice sultry

They added the table extensions so that it seated 16 the meal was perfect, We ate till they were stuffed and then retired to the den to watch a movie, Brent went out to have a smoke and Matt followed him "How's things at college?" Brent asked. "To be honest, it's really good, I thought it would be harder," Matt says. "Any more visions? Brent asked and Matt turned silent. "Dude be honest with me, was me you saw die? or was it Lyra?" when he mentioned her name his eyes shot up to meet Brents and he knew. Brent's eyes widened in shock, his voice barely above a whisper. "It was Lyra, wasn't it? You saw her die in your vision." Brent's heart
Chapter 46 Burial at Sea While they relaxed on the beach after an awesome day of adventures. Their maid served them their Island wine. Lyra sips and moans with delight. "Thank you love, This trip is all I dreamed it would be." she smiled at him, but then something moved in the bushes as they turned to look, They laid eyes on a frail figure trying to run, but falling every few steps. The girl, barely more than a teenager, stumbled towards them, her eyes a turquoise blue with golden flecks was sunken and her skin pale. "Please... help me," she begged, collapsing in the sand. Lyra rushed to her side, cradling her in her arms. She was soaking wet like she had swam into their lagoon."What's wrong? Are you ok??" The girl's eyes locked onto Lyra's, her voice barely audible. "I'm... pregnant. R-Running from... him. He'll kill me... and take my baby!." she screams... heavy in labor pains, holding her belly.Lyra got Brent to gently carry her inside to their bed. Away from view in case, the f
Chapter 47 Karma's Transformation The sun was shining bright as Bella, Matt, and Karma walked through the front door, exhausted but exhilarated from their spring break adventures. They had spent the last week in the Alps, skiing and having the time of their lives. As they dropped their bags in the entryway, Karma turned to everyone with a mischievous grin. "Guys, I have a secret to share. There's a reason I wanted to come home before going back to college." Bella and Matt exchanged curious glances. "What is it?" Bella asked, her eyes sparkling with intrigue. Karma's grin grew wider. "I want to become a vampire, a Hybrid, like you guys." Matt's eyes widened in shock. "Whoa, Karma, that's huge!" Bella's expression turned thoughtful. "But why? You're amazing just the way you are." "I don't want to be different from my family anymore." Karma's face lit up with determination. Just then, I walked into the room, a hint of a smile on my face, happy to have them back home. I hugged the

Between classes and training, Karma, Bella, and Matt visited Lyra, Baby
Chapter 49 Saying Goodbye Lyra's condition rapidly deteriorated, her body frail and fragile. Dr. Brooks' face was etched with concern, her voice laced with desperation. "Lyra, I've tried everything, but... I can't save you. I don't even know what's causing this." she just sat there holding her hand. Matt's eyes locked onto Lyra, his gaze filled with a mix of sorrow and determination. "I know what's causing this, Doctor," he said, his voice firm. "It's Shade. I've seen it in my visions. He's behind this." Dr. Brooks' expression turned skeptical. "Shade? But how? What could he possibly...Matt is there anything I can do to stop it?" she asked. Matt's eyes blazed with conviction. "He's been planning this for years, Doctor. He's been waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And now, he's found a way to destroy Lyra from the inside out." Brent's face contorted in anguish, his voice cracking. "No, no, no... this can't be happening. Lyra, fight this baby, please fight!" he begged as tears
Chapter 105 The Dive As the sun dipped into the horizon, We walked hand in hand into the ocean's embrace. We waded deeper into the sea holding hands. My eyes sparkled with delight, I gazed at Niklaus. before I dove in and he followed me closely. I mindlinked with him. *The first breath is the scariest* I said. *It's okay just use your gills. It's like taking in a big breath without opening your mouth. Just try, it will come naturally.* I watched him as he worked through it, when he realized it was easy, he smiled. I watched him carefully, his eyes were wide with wonder. Then his eyes landed on me, my long black curls danced around my face, my eyes glowed with the pulse of the ocean. I was all his. He was my proud mate.*Welcome to my world,* I said, my voice barely above a whisper in his mind, smooth and sultry. We floated about five feet above the reef. I watched him as His mind adapted to his new world, his body ready to explore.Niklaus's eyes were wide with wonder, his gaze drink
Chapter 104 The Connection Yax's eyes narrowed as he studied the data on the console then his eyes locked onto the bracelet on my wrist. "I think I know what's causing the amplification. The bracelet King Abatrose gave her - it's not just a symbol of her heritage, it's a catalyst for her DNA transformation." It interacts with the Quantum Chamber and amplifies Raven's DNA percentages. It's not just healing her, it's enhancing her genetic code. She and Lucas have both been using the chamber" Yax's eyes Dr. Brooks's eyes widened. "That's impossible. We've never seen technology that can manipulate DNA like that. Who else has been using it?" "We have." Brent and Naki said. The chamber seems to be adapting to each user's genetic code, enhancing their unique abilities."Yax's voice was filled with wonder. "Your DNA is merging with the Atlantean genetic code, Raven. You're becoming something more than.... ***Suddenly everyone was frozen on the Island *** Except for Me, Niklaus, Lucas
Chapter 103 Shark Mating Season Lucas's test results had come back but she wanted to study them both a bit more the percentages were increasing for some unknown reason. Mine was now at 85% and Lucas was at 68% Atlantian DNA, The weird part was, that both of our vampire percentages were increasing as well, but they seemed to be melting into a mixture of a new, more powerful line of Atlantians. Dr. Brooks asked Niklaus if he could arrange a meeting with King Abatrose, so she could test their DNA and ask a list of questions. "I can ask him, but I must warn you, Dr. Brooks, King Abatrose and his people are very private individuals. He may not agree to the test, but maybe if you promise to keep the results confidential," Niklaus said, his eyes narrowing slightly.Dr. Brooks nodded, her expression understanding. "I assure you, Niklaus, I have no intention of sharing the results with anyone else. This is purely for my research purposes, and I will respect the King's privacy, either way."N
Chapter 102 The Twins As we basked in the joy of our baby's heartbeat, Niklaus scooped me into his arms, cradling me like a precious treasure. He twirled me around the room, laughing and spinning until they both collapsed onto the bed, exhausted but exhilarated.Our gifted bracelets from Abatrose have filled our minds with visions of our future, tiny feet, and little hands, first smiles, and baby coos. We dreamed of teaching our children the wonders of the world, of watching them grow and flourish under our love and guidance.As they drifted off to sleep, wrapped in each other's arms, I smiled, knowing that our love had created a new life, a precious gift that would bring even more joy and magic to our world.The next morning, we shared the news with the rest of the family, and the kingdom erupted in celebration. Lucas and Lacy beamed with pride, Sam grinned from ear to ear, and even the usually reserved Tieanna couldn't help but smile.As the days passed, my belly grew, and our child
Chapter 101 Baby "Well, that was interesting," I said, my voice sweet and sultry. Niklaus pulled me in, his lips brushing against mine in a loving, gentle kiss. "Do you know what else was interesting?" he asked, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "What?" I replied, my arms wrapping around him in a warm embrace."Abatrose has the hots for you," Niklaus said, his grin growing wider.My smile deepened, my eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, he does, does he?" I continued. "And do you know who else has the hots for me?" I smiled.Niklaus's grin grew sly, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Hmmm, my entire kingdom?" Niklaus laughed, his arms scooping me up with ease. "hmm let me think." He carried me to bed, his eyes shining with seual desires.I playfully slapped his arm, my laughter echoing through the room. "You were supposed to say 'I do'..."Niklaus chuckled, his lips tracing a path down my neck. "You have the hots for yourself? Oh, that is hot!!!" He teased, his voice full of mischief.
Chapter 100 The Meeting of Royals"Lyra, my daughter, saved her life," King Niklaus said, his voice filled with a mix of sadness and gratitude. "She and Brent tried to save her mother, but unfortunately, she didn't make it. Sarah's mother was running from someone who sought to exploit her as a breeder, a fate worse than death. Brent has become her father now, the only one she has ever known and loved." Abatrose turned to Brent, his eyes burning with a deep sense of commitment and protection. "We too will shield her from harm, just as we would our own kin. No one will dare to exploit or endanger this innocent child, not while we stand watch. We will stand together, as allies and friends, to ensure her safety and well-being."With a solemn gesture, Abatrose motioned for another bracelet to be brought forth, its intricate design glinting in the light. He fastened it around Lil Sarah and Brent's wrists, the living metal seeming to mold to their skin. "This bond of friendship and protectio
Chapter 99 Abatrose's Story Finally, the day arrived that Abatrose would meet with King and Queen Delacroix, He was excited and fearful at the same time, he had chosen six of his most trusted men and three women to join him: Tieanna, Radonna his adviser, and Laraina the eldest of his females. Of the men, there were three guards and three historians. He had chosen this delegation to accompany him to the island. Neptune announced that they were arriving and they all gathered on the beach about twenty minutes later, They saw them swimming with great speed to their shores. King Abatrose and his companions emerged from the ocean with majestic grace, their regal presence gained the attention of everyone on shore. Abatrose wore his crown, adorned with glittering gems that seemed to hold the enchantments of the ocean's depths. In his hand, he held his trident, its prongs shimmering with a soft, ethereal light, reminiscent of Neptune's mighty weapon.As they stepped onto our shores, their b
Chapter 98 Island Lullabye After watching them for months. Abatrose decides he is tired of hiding and wants to respectfully ask Niklaus if he may come on shore, he has much to discuss with him, King to King. Tieanna listens to her Father and understands, she will go to Raven and Niklaus and ask if he may be granted a meeting between the two Kings Yax's alarm goes off alerting security and the King and Queen. "Tieanna is approaching 500 yards offshore"As she walks onshore she is met by both Naki and Leilani as they walk toward the palace, "I have come to speak with Niklaus and Raven on my father's behalf," (Niklaus is completely unaware of Abatrose's observations and the fact that he's been watching from a distance, careful to avoid detection by the Quantum device. Tieanna's request for a meeting is shrouded in mystery, leaving Niklaus curious and slightly cautious.)"Tieanna, you're being quite mysterious," Niklaus says, his tone friendly, but laced with a hint of wariness. "You
Chapter 97 The SQC"The device is still in its Beta stage but It would be extremely helpful, They have worked out all the kinks and It's almost ready for market. It's called the 'Suspended Quantum Chamber' (SQC), The SQC is an advanced, wireless charging chamber that utilizes cutting-edge technology to heal, strengthen, and help hybrids control their abilities. Suspended animation allows for accelerated healing and recovery. This is how it works: 1. Raven (or any other hybrid) will step onto the SQC pad, Dr. Brooks or any AI can power it up, Raven will then be suspended (zero-gravity) inside the unit, which scans and assesses her physical and ability-related needs. 2. The AI-powered chamber, adjusts settings for optimal healing, strengthening, and ability control. 3. Suspended animation is induced, allowing for accelerated recovery and growth. 4. Wireless charging technology replenishes energy levels. 5. The Chamber provides real-time biometric feedback and AI-assisted guidance f
