I'm kinda freaking out that my cat knew this and I kinda knew it was true but what am I supposed to do now?* I asked. He walks into my room, gets in bed with me, and scuttle. "Ok sis, don't freak out! but we all had a long talk about this last night after you fell asleep" he reveals. "What?
Chapter 63 Making Plans My eyes sparkled with curiosity as I asked Niklaus, "So, I didn't even know vampires had mates."We sat together with his arms around me, on the front porch swing, watching the sunset. Niklaus's gaze softened, his voice filled with nostalgia. "We are Mayan hybrids and we have a unique gift. Our native shapeshifter side grants us the privilege of the mate bond, a deep connection that transcends mortal love." He paused, his eyes locking onto mine. "Sarah, my first mate, was the love of my life. I risked everything to save her from Shade's clutches, but fate had other plans." My heart was sad for him, sensing the depth of his pain. "I'm so sorry, Niklaus," I whispered. I held my locket and I felt a warm pulse coming from it, I knew that Sarah approved of our bond and that Lyra was with her telling her all about us and our struggles and triumphs. He held me as the sun disappeared, I was filled with a love that seemed to span centuries. "But then I found you, my s
Chapter 64 Sophia's Joy "Can you shift too?" Sophia asked Sam, her voice barely above a whisper, as they sat together on the creaky garden swing, surrounded by blooming flowers and the sweet scent of blooming magnolias. Sam's eyes sparkled in the fading light of day. "Yes, we've always been able to shift, but in the old days, our kind preferred the form of bats. As hybrids of two different shifter bloodlines, we've evolved to take on many forms now, unlike the wolves, who are bound to their single shape." He smiled, his gaze drifting into the past. "We've come a long way, Sophia. evolution at its finest." Sophia's smile mirrored his, her eyes shining with excitement. "I know how Karma felt before she transformed. I feel it too, the restlessness, wanting to be what you admire in others." Sam's expression turned sympathetic, and he drew her into a gentle hug. "I know you do, Sophia. It saddens me that you won't feel the mate bond like I do. but I'd like for you to hold off on doing wh

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.

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.

"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

"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
