I was getting tired of this. I couldn’t take it anymore. The constant black outs and nausea was becoming too much for me to handle. Ash was right, and they were doing more than killing me, they were annoying the hell out of me but they were my children what else could I do?

I sat on the patio swing, watching the sunset under the tall trees. After a day and a half of holding my head over the toilet puking out all the blood Joe had administered into me through an IV and away from Ash’s hysterias, these few moments felt like paradise to me. Ann and Maria were seated with me talking about the latest hot movie star while keeping an eye on me. No one wanted to leave me alone now that I was finally feeling the effect of the pregnancy. Joe and my dad were in the house, preparing for the C-Section, which they always did in anticipation of the fifth pain and any other problems that were bound to occur. With Ash gone, Dad was my space heater.

Ash had left angry with me for not doing what he want

    “Ash, considering you already know that I can tell when you are lying, why do you insist on doing it?”“Joe needs to relieve Billy so if you would please hurry up?” He reached for my hand but I pulled away.“Ash, what are you planning?” I said angrily. I looked back at the table, searching for a needle or a drug that was meant to put me out, or paralyze me, or whatever just to make sure I couldn’t fight them when they cut me open. “I promise you, Lee, we don’t plan on forcing you to do anything you don’t want. I just want to check you.” Joe spoke softly. Maria moved close to him, her face reassuring.“Then why is everyone so alert?” I swallowed hard as fear crawled into me. “Its Baku isn’t it?” I didn’t think he would be brave enough to follow up on his threat especially with Ash around.A deep rumble rolled over Ash’s chest. His fists clenched and his jaw tightened. I saw the silver creep into his eyes before he quickly closed them. That was all I needed as an answer. I moved to him

    “I’ve been acting like an ass lately. If they knew I wanted to…” His voice died. I could hear the remorse in it. “It’s a good thing they don’t understand much.”He couldn’t ever know. But he could fix it…“Tell them you love them,” I blurted out.“What?”“Please,” I begged.After a long moment of silence he spoke, “I love you two very much. And I can’t wait for my turn to hold and protect you, like your mother is doing now. I hope you can forgive me for being so foolish!”He got several happy—but painful—kicks for that. The sob in my throat came out as a teary laugh. I pressed my cheek against his, glad that we were finally on the same page.“You are very loveable and forgivable.”“How you can still love me is incredible.” He kissed my forehead and stood up moving his hand from my belly. The twins settled but they didn’t go back to sleep. “Joe…” Ash said his name then went quiet. I looked at the both of them. They were conversing silently. Whatever it was, it was bad enough to wipe a

    Joe nodded. He took the pack from Maria and downed it. Maria opened two more and held them in her hands waiting for Joe to finish the one he had before she handed him another one.“Lee, what are you doing!” Ash demanded.“I told you they would do anything for love. Daddy, please take this.” I didn’t have to ask twice. He took the pack I handed him and began drinking deeply. I turned to Ash with an opened pack for him. “Now you be a good boy and drink this.” He stared at it, the desire flashing in his eyes.“No. Someone will need to keep them under control when all of this is over.” He tried to walk away from me but I stopped him.“If you love me you’ll drink this.” He just stood there staring at me. I felt desperate—love wasn’t working in my favor. “If you want to find me alive you’ll drink this.”“Lee!” He was shocked. This was my leverage and I was going to milk it in my favor.“I told you I would die before you did. If you value your children’s lives, if you value mine, you’ll drin

    Maria knelt next to me. She pushed his huge paw away to look at his chest. Blood was already slipping out and getting absorbed by the carpet. I felt even more scared. I couldn’t lose my dad, I just couldn’t, he was the last blood family I had.“Daddy, please wake up, you can’t die. You haven’t seen your grandchildren yet.” I cried, hugging his head against me. I felt the shreds of pain in my belly, but I didn’t have time to worry about that I needed to wake my dad up. “Daddy, wake up!” I yelled in his ear.Maria moved back, her red hands held out. “Lee, he’s dead,” she whispered.I couldn’t hear that, I didn’t want to hear that. He couldn’t be dead they healed themselves. It was just a matter of time before he woke up. I cringed as the pains got worse. I moved back and held my hand over my belly. I couldn’t ignore the shredding pain anymore.“Ann, help me!” Maria yelled moving closer to me.“I can’t! I need to watch the hole!” Ann yelled back.When the pains soothed down I moved back

    I woke up with a start and looked around. I was in my room, nothing was wrong. I closed my eyes and placed my hand over my chest, relieved. I lay back on the bed, laughing at myself. “It was just a dream, actually a nightmare.” I rubbed at the dull ache in my ribs then rested my hand on my belly. I felt my whole body tighten. Something was wrong. I was empty. I pulled the covers off me and pulled my shirt up. My stomach was flat; there was nothing inside me. My children were gone! “Ash! Ash!” I yelled in a panic. He had somehow managed to take them out of me. I stood up, ignoring the dull pain in my abdomen, back, chest and hips. I walked around the room looking for something to attack him with—something that would actually hurt. My door flew open and Ash appeared. He didn’t come near me he just stood there. He must have sensed I was pissed out of my mind. I picked up my hairbrush for lack of a better weapon and pointed it at him. “How did you do it? Did you have Joe knock me

    “A few decades ago. There was a child who got hurt running away from the havoc we brought to his village. Fighting Baku always gets messy and innocent people get hurt. One of Baku’s men had him cornered. He couldn’t run anymore because his leg was broken. After I killed the man I went to help the child. My blood spilled into his wound. A few seconds later, his leg snapped into place and he healed.”“And the amnesia thing?”“You were my first. I figured if I could put things in your mind, I should be able to take them out, or hide them.”“Show me.”Ash leaned away from me. “Show you what?” he asked perplexed.“How they were born. That’s one thing I really wanted to experience.” Childbirth was one thing no mother should miss. I read in one of the baby books that it is the beginning of an external bond between mother and child. As unconventional as mine was I still wanted to know.Ash looked at me troubled. “I won’t be able to edit out all the bad parts.”I held his face in my hands. “J

    Ash pulled me to the bed and sat me down. He took our daughter from Joe and brought her to me. I stared at her, then at Ash scared out of my mind.“Lee, take her.” Ash brought her closer.I moved back. “Are you sure, because I don’t know how to hold a baby? I don’t know the first thing to do with a baby.”“You read the books didn’t you? Think of this as a practical part of your health class,” Maria soothed.“Yeah, health class. They should combine that with Biology.” Ann laughed.“What if I do something wrong?”“You should have thought of that before you got knocked up.” And that comment earned Ann another swat on the head from Maria.“You’ll be fine. Maternal instincts.” Ash lifted my arms and placed her in the crook they made.She felt so tiny there, like a little doll. Her face creased before her pink lips puckered. I pulled the pink headband off and threw it aside.“Hey, that was a perfect outfit!” Maria complained.“It’s squeezing her head. Look she’s smiling, probably grateful I

    I looked out my small-clouded window and watched the sun rise, a flutter in my chest. I couldn’t help but smile watching the sunrays shoot up and push the night away making way for the bright sun. I felt a shiver and a tickle all over me like I had a thousand butterflies batting their wings against my skin just remembering the night I spent at the beach with Ash. We watched the moon disappear and the sun take its place, his arms wrapped lovingly around me, his body keeping me warm as the cool ocean breeze teased me with goose bumps. I hugged myself and sighed longingly. I could still feel his arms there, his breath in the nape of my neck, his warm body curve around me as I sank deeper into his embrace and his bouquet mixed with the sweet ocean scent that made all my senses tingle. “Ash,” I whispered feeling giddy. The touch of his name on my lips made me smile. He was the one man who’d managed to turn my life upside down and right side up again. He was both a curse and a blessing in

    “Felt...” the words died on her lips when a harsh burn scorched down her back. The tattoo there burnt fiercely like a fire razing down and entire forest. She wanted to scream but the only sound that parted her lips was a struggled cry. It hurt, worse than it did the first time she felt it. She felt Samson’s arms tighten around her, holding her stiffened body upright.When it was finally over, she fell into his embrace, her body still buzzing with the painful sensation.“How...?” she choked out.Samson carried her to the couch and sat down, cradling her against his chest. “Merilee is alive.”Merilee? She wanted to ask which one but it was obvious. The only time she felt her magick part from her with such excruciating pain was the night Martha came into her powers.If she was not wrong, Merilee was a few months shy of nineteen... wasn’t this happening late?She shook her head to clear her hazy mi

    Lena patted the young boy’s head and gave him a reassuring smile, “You’ll be fine.” He nodded and smiled back, then turned his face into his mother’s chest. A few minutes later he was fast asleep. “Asante,” his mother said, gently holding his broken arm steady on his side. Lena smiled and nodded. Watching the boy turn to his mother for comfort seared a pain through her heart as if a hot blade had been driven through her chest. She missed Martha and Merilee, her two beautiful daughters. But it had been years since they were gone. Merilee died in a car crush as a teenager. She was rebellious, envious and jaded by the fact she was not born first. Lena knew if they could switch places, Martha would happily give her the burden. Lena sighed, Burden? The duties of being born the first daughter from a twentieth-tenth generation faerie had never felt like a burden to her. Granted it felt like a duty

    Then everything in the room changed. I felt sick to my stomach. I moved back and put a hand over my mouth. I was aware of everyone, even my twins felt different but more like Ben. I looked at them. For a moment their eyes looked different but I couldn’t be sure. I felt too sick to be sure of anything in that moment. Loud hisses filled the room and then I was standing far away, Ash’s arms around me. “Lee, what’s wrong?” That was Maria’s voice. I felt a hand on my cheek and I knew that was her too. It was human. “I don’t know.” I whispered. “She’ll be fine once this is over.” Ben called out. I looked at him. His eyes had changed. I turned to Joe, his eyes were gold and his grip on Maria was tight. She was tucked into him, her eyes shifting between Ann and me. I leaned my head back against Ash’s chest and bit my teeth together as the back of my neck burned. “Just take a deep breathe,” Ash whispered in my ear. I did as instructed, and with each breath the pain subsided to being be

    Three days passed and the house was like a minefield. Maria wouldn’t speak to anyone else but Ben and me. She also never left Ann’s side. She moved all her things in Ann’s room and Ben and I would go downstairs to get her something to eat.Billy felt uneasy staying with Ann. One the guilt of not being able to defend her was eating at him and two Maria made him feel very unwelcomed. But she didn’t care much about justice, or better yet vengeance. She was waiting for Ann to wake up. We all were. The three of us would guess how she’d look like, the color of her fur. But most importantly, how long it would take to subdue her craving for human blood and flesh.Of course we wanted to see the change. No one was looking forward to the pain that would come with it. But mostly, we were waiting for the first thing she’d do once she woke up. Hopefully go for Sabrina’s neck.Sabrina knew it too and it made her very uneasy. She

    He pulled away and looked at me, holding my head back so that I looked into his pleading eyes. “I love you, only you. You know that so please don’t doubt my love for you or the twins.”I knew that, but Sabrina was standing in the living room disputing how much he truly loved me.I went to pull away but Ash pulled me back, trapping me in a long desperate kiss.And for the first time, I felt his heart beat in sync with mine. I felt his soul touch mine in a connection that was more than physical intimacy. Every single thing of him intertwined with every single thing of me. We were one and the same.And yet...“How much of an influence does my blood have on you?” I whispered breathlessly on his lips.“Like an energy drink would have on you. And yet it feels like I’ve just kissed the true you for the first time. You feel more a part of me than you ever did before. I don’t think I’ve wanted you

    “Aww!” I cried out at the sizzling pain in the back of my neck. It felt like burning larva as it slowly crawled down my neck to the mid of my back. I stayed very still until the pain faded away. What the hell was that?I blinked my eyes open and looked around. I was in my room. Alive, I think.I rose up slowly into a sitting position. When I didn’t topple over I stood up on my feet on the warm floor. I rocked for a second as the room tilted. Once I felt steady enough I walked to the bathroom and pulled open the folding mirror.There was a large tattoo on the back of my neck. How the hell did that get there?Before I could explore further, Ben’s urgent voice filled the room. “Lee, Lee!”“I’m here,” I announced walking out of the bathroom.I saw his face relax and then crease as his eyes filled with tears. He rushed to me, hugging me tight against him.I cradled him, “Hey, I&rs

    Five more werewolves shuffled into the room as Baku and Seth made their quick exit.I pulled out of his grip, “Not yet. Hold them off as long as you can.” I ran to Ash and sat next to him. I was close to sobbing when I saw his battered body. He had shrunk to my size.“Lee what are you doing!” Joe demanded.I turned to him, “What I have to.”He made to come near me but Ben stood in his way, “the fight is over there!” He bellowed.“Get out of my way!”“Joe, please,” I begged.“Joe I need you!” Billy yelled. There were five more of Baku’s men in the room. They stood in a circle around Billy and stalked towards him, tightening the circle with each step.“One minute Lee, not a second more!” Joe ordered rushing away.“Ben...”“One and a half... I know.” He answered without looking at me, wo

    It took a few more dodging before Ben put me down, a solemn look in his face, “He’s in here.”I walked in, a quiver in each step I took. It wasn’t the hostage room I expected. It was beautiful and could have easily been mistaken for a living room if there was furniture in it. There was only one royal-like chair against the wall sitting on what looked like a very expensive rug. It was probably where Baku sat as he watched his men torture Ash. I felt the rage inside me boil up as I rushed to that chair. All I wanted to do was rip it to shreds!“Lee!” Ben called out to me, his hands on my arms. He turned me slowly, “there he is.”I felt my legs give under me when I saw him. That chained, withered, bloody body on the ground could not be my Ash. He just couldn’t!Ben held me tight against him, “He’s not dead but I can’t let you go to him. We’ll have to wait for Billy and Joe.”

    I pulled off my coat and sat on it. Five more minutes on the cold floor and I wouldn’t be able to feel my ass again.The chains jingled when Ben tagged on them, “maybe this wasn’t a good idea after all.”He was on the other side of the cold dark steel room. Just like me, he’d been chained to the wall but he had six chains on him; one around his neck, one around his waist and the rest on his hands and legs. I only had one, around my wrist. It made sense, how could a little human break a chain used to weigh down anchors!“Can you tell if Ash is here?”He nodded, “I caught his scent when we boarded. He should have been here by now.”I felt relief flow through me, “Why?”He smiled, “Because you are here. Your scent should lead him right to us.”“Why.... do think he isn’t okay?” I stammered under a whisper.“He could be weak and cha
