Chapter 70 The Pull of the Mate Bond I was so sleepy last night that I barely remember going to bed. We spent the whole day walking along the island and meeting his family, they were all so loving. Now, we enter his chambers, again, and before me, I see a beautiful, intimate space that reflects Niklaus' warm and inviting personality. The room is dimly lit, the Moon casting a glow on the rich, dark stone walls. The canopy bed, adorned with plush velvet pillows and delicate lace, beckons invitingly, and the sweet scent of blooming magnolias wafts through the air. "Are magnolias native to the islands?" I look around and check out the balcony. He walks up behind me. Niklaus chuckled, his eyes sparkling with love. "No, my love. I had them brought in, because, their scent reminds me of you, I have dreamed of this moment every night since the day I first met you, and here you are in my arms and if you're willing.... in my bed with me tonight?" he turns me to face him, his lips taste mine h
Chapter 71 My Mate, My Queen As we woke to a gentle knock on the door, Niklaus' smile grew wide. "Enter!" he called out, his eyes sparkling with his love for me. "Your coffee and breakfast, my King," his servants announced, as she rolled in the breakfast cart. "Would you like it in bed or at the table?" she asked. "Here," he said because we were both still nude under the quilts. She places his folding breakfast tray over his lap and then goes to the other side with my tray. She stands and waits.... My eyes fluttered open, I inhaled the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. "Did you sleep well, my Queen?" the servant asked, while she was fixing my tray over my lap and handing me a steaming cup of coffee with a sweet smile. My gaze widened in surprise. "Did she just...?" I turned to Niklaus, who nodded, his eyes shining with amusement. As the servant bowed and departed, I stammered, "B-But I'm not a Queen." Niklaus' lips brushed against mine. "You are now." He took a sip of his coffee,
Chapter 72 Game of Quarters The summer seemed to fly by, and none of them wanted to leave me behind, Niklaus called a meeting about what was on everyone's mind, "I know you all want to stay, and I'd like that too, I can rebuild what you all had back home, here. Sam, the islanders have never ridden in a limo before, we all use beach buggies here, your business will thrive here and Aurora would be thrilled to have you both stay. As he turns to Lucas and Brent, I am well aware of your abilities and would be honored to have you both in charge of my security team! Sophia is clapping her hands hugging Aurora, as he turns to the kids, We do have a campus here our College is top-notch, and you all can transfer in no time at all." the noise of them discussing it, is with great joy and big plans.. and they all nod yes to Niklaus. "Then that settles it! You all are home! they are all smiles, as they head back to their rooms and unpack...days later.. Niklaus, Lucas, Brent, Sam, and I took a t
Chapter 73 Leilani After a month at sea, they arrive in Maui, ready to explore its stunning beauty, relax in overwater bungalows, and create unforgettable memories. The journey may have been long, but the adventure was worth it! As the Yacht docks off the pier, they all walk down the ramp, where some islanders have gathered to welcome them with Lays. Kie was the last one down the ramp, and the most beautiful girl he had ever laid eyes on, walked up to him with a Lay Kie stepped off the ramp, and his eyes met hers, a vision of beauty. Leilani approached him with a graceful smile, a fragrant lay in her hands. "Mr. Delacroix?" she asked her voice like music. Kie nodded, his heart skipping a beat as she drew near. Her fingers brushed against his shoulder, and a jolt of electricity ran through him like a shock wave. "Hi, I'm Leilani," she said, her eyes locking onto his. "We spoke on the phone." Their gazes held, and time stood still. Then, in perfect unison, they both whispered:
Chapter 74 Island Interviews Niklaus asked Sam why he didn't bring back his limos when they went to New Orleans, "Well, to be honest, I sold them." I have a better plan. Sam confided in Niklaus about his dreams of flying again, and how a helicopter would revolutionize his business, transporting people and supplies between the islands and the mainland. Niklaus was intrigued by the idea when he purchased the island a long time ago, it came with a heliport. He's used it a few times when he flew in his supplies. The helicopter, however, needed repairs, and Niklaus offered to help Sam either fix it or get a new one. "That I can do," Sam replied,"..and if it's okay with you, I'll ask Jameson to lend a hand. He and his wife will love it here and I'll need a co-pilot." Niklaus agreed and Sam placed a call To Jameson, who was overjoyed to hear from him, he could hear his wife in the background all excited, "Yes! Let's do it!!" she encouraged him. So they made plans, Sam would give them a fe
Chapter 75 Sam's Dream A week passed, and the day of Sam's new helicopter's arrival finally came. Sam's excitement was overwhelming... as the sleek, jet-black aircraft landed on the remodeled helipad. "She's a beauty!" he exclaimed, his eyes shining like a kid on Christmas morning. The helicopter's blades whirred to a stop, revealing a spacious cargo hold. "This baby's got it all!" Sam couldn't contain his enthusiasm, and His Mom couldn't help but be infected by his joy as she hugged her son with pride in her eyes. "I can't wait to show Sophia when she gets home from school!" he is overjoyed. Standing next to his mom, they stare at his dream. She hugs her son she is so proud of what he has become, as she watches him climb into the pilot seat his eyes shinning brighter than any star, "Come on Mom, let's take her a test flight around the islands," he helps her climb aboard to sit next to him as he buckles her in. As Sam lifted off, he and his mom felt their hearts soar. "Whooo-hooo!"
Chapter 76 The Dive *Kie* Over the past month, Kie and Leilani had been inseparable, their love growing with each passing day. They spent hours strolling along the shore, hand in hand, watching the sunset paint the sky with vibrant hues. Leilani shared stories of her childhood on the mainland, her laughter and tears captivating Kie's heart. In turn, Kie opened up about his family, telling her about his daughters Bella and Karma, and his father, King Niklaus and Raven, his voice filled with love and pride. As they walked, the ocean breeze carried the sweet scent of Maui, with the sound of waves gently lapping against the shore creating a soothing melody. Kie couldn't get enough of Leilani's radiant smile, her bright eyes sparkling like diamonds in the fading light. He felt like he'd found his soulmate in her, and every moment they shared only reinforced that feeling. That morning, Leilani asked him to go with her on a scuba dive to check out the reef as they suit up and board her
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
