My pregnancy accelerates due to Vlad's blood and his impatient root
We made it to the living room to see Everett and Elwin hugging each other in greeting. When Everett saw both Rogue and I he came towards us and dropped to his knees.
"I swear allegiance to the both of you," he stated and bowed his head. I kicked him and told him to get off my floor. He stood up and I laughed at the dog hair stuck to his knees.
"Serves you right, I told you about that bowing crap," I teased and he shrugged. Everett looked at my abdomen and grinned.
"You're expecting already, Pandora," he squealed excitedly and said he was an uncle. I chuckled and shook my head at him, making him pretend to pout. Rogue eyed me curiously and placed his hands on Effie.
"You f
Effie our miracle daughter ❤I called each male in my house every foul name I could think of and I know for certain that they all heard because I said them yelling at the top of my lungs. Three fucking hours of labor ending with the gift of a tiny white haired baby girl. My little Effie in the flesh. Rogue looked at his daughter and at me with the most adoring love I'd ever seen grace a face."Effie Hera Draco," he stated and smiled as he nestled her into his arms."She is beautiful like you, my love, you did well," he told me and kissed my temple. He told me he loved me and I apologized for cursing him to hell as I went to shower. When I exited, towel drying my hair I watched Xander run his fingers through his pink hair. He hadn't even looked at Effie. He was acting strangely and carried the dirty linens out of the
Traveling to Cassian's wedding with Rogue, Xander and EffieThe week went by quickly and we arrived at the Eastern clans on the very day of the wedding, along with several other clan leaders and unfortunately the Queen had decided to make an appearance. I growled angrily at hearing the attendant talking about her arrival. He glanced down at me oddly and asked if I was related to Anne. I glared at him and said fuck no. Rogue chuckled at me and pulled me along to the large patio and into his brother's house. Xander carried Effie and was a Godsend because our little girl listened to every thing he said. I glanced around looking for another with platinum hair and couldn't see anyone as Rogue dragged me up a staircase and into a huge ballroom.
Confronting the insane Cassian and dealing with the eastern clansWe walked towards the house and Dreven pulled on my hand to stop me. I told Rogue to go on ahead. I rubbed my surprisingly swollen abdomen. Geesh Vlad, chill down a bit, I thought as Dreven and the remaining agents bowed before me."Please forgive our insolence, we want to pledge ourselves to you, my Queen," he said. I replied ok, whatever and turned to head after Rogue. I walked up the sidewalk, ignoring the agents asking me to forgive them. I looked up to see Rogue leaning against the wall and looking sexy as hell. I tilted my head and watched Effie run up to him. He bent over and picked her up, then grinned at me. He approached m
Vlad's illegitimate son XanderI was cursing in my mind. Vlad dropped a bombshell and doesn't feel like I should have my many questions answered. I woke the next day frowning with dark circles under my gray eyes. Rogue wasn't in bed with me and I growled angrily as I got up. I searched for my clothes and dressed quickly. I was still angry at Vlad for not coming back. I rolled my eyes and headed out into the hallway to backtrack myself to the kitchen. I followed the scent of brewed coffee and smiled as I found the room. Xander was sitting with Rogue enjoying Jaxon's coffee which I recall was the very best. I made my cup and took a seat next to Rogue. My eyes kept going to Xander as I examined each detail and compared it to what I'd seen of Vlad. They were almost identical except for the hair."Did you know," I blurted and he eyed me strangely.
Vlad's true intentions"Dad wanted me to wake you. He said you were frowning in your sleep," she told me and squeezed my hand."I told Xander that I loved him and he said it back to me," she beamed. I hugged her and told her I was happy for her. Xander was watching our exchange and when I glanced at him he shook his head."I don't think that either of you should go into the catacombs. I fear that Vlad has something nefarious planned," he stated loudly and Rogue looked at him and then sadly at me. It looked like he had already given me up. I glared at him blankly and he smiled slightly and looked away biting his lip."Don't you dare mister, you're a top notch assassin and do not give up that easily," I growled angrily as I approached him.
Escaping Vlad and saving my familyI felt his release running down my leg and cursed vehemently. I was going to kill Vlad, for that I was certain. I examined the chains and how they were bolted to metal coming from inside the wall. I could have picked the locks if I had my pants and my tool. It appeared I'd have to play nice to get released and that pissed me off. I had yet to see my son and could hear him fussing in the next room. I hung there for several hours and my wrists hurt. Vlad came in pulling a young boy after himself. He unchained me and I fell weakly to the floor. He shoved the human at me and told me to eat. I looked wide eyed at him then to the young one."He's not old enough," I mumbled softly and Vlad used his fingernail to poke the boy's neck. My fangs elongated at the smell of blood and I grabbed the young child, told him I was sorry as I buried my f
Vlad and Rogue oh myFlora and Jaxon picked us up and drove us to a highway motel that rented out tiny cabins. We all got our own and I opened the door and flipped on the light bulb hanging from the ceiling. I headed towards the bathroom and turned on the shower as Rogue asked what he should use to change the baby's diaper. I tossed him a towel and a hair tie, before I stripped and stepped under the hot spray. I closed my eyes and rinsed my hair. I felt the shower door open and Silvar's mouth clamp onto my nipple. I opened my eyes to see two glowing green eyes staring at my breast. I pulled my son from him and turned to my side. I could see his eyes moving down my back and over my ass."Leave Vlad," I growled softly and he blinked his eyes and Rogue grinned slightly and stepped into the shower with me. I felt his excitement rub against my back and chuckled. I washed Silvar and
Rogue in spirit and Vlad's promise"Tell me right this instance where Rogue is," I growled angrily and he exhaled softly."He is going to be reborn, remember his death vision, well it came to pass but Vlad has it all worked out. Rogue will be born as Flora and Jaxon's son, then when Vlad goes into the one you're carrying, he can return to his adult vessel," he said nonchalantly. I growled angrily and asked what kind of hocus-pocus bullshit he was spewing. I dropped to the branch I was on and asked where his soul was. Xander explained that he perished in the catacombs and his soul was collected there."Did Effie know this and none of you bothered to tell me the man I intended to marry died, I can't fucking believe this, plus I've been fucking Vlad like he is Rogue. Oh I'm going to kill him," I growled softly and start
Epilogue Our entire family under one big roofI woke up, snuggled against Ambrose and grinned happily. I was truly happy and glanced over at Ambrose to see his green eyes watching me."My love appears happy with herself," he said softly and brushed my cheek. I rolled over to my side to face him."I'm happy with my mate and love him very much, he fills my soul," I replied and leaned towards his face to give him a light kiss. "He fills much more than that," he teased and I called him a correct pervert. Ambrose growled possessively and wrapped his arms around me pulling me closer. I chuckled in happiness. We were interrupted by knocking on the door. Ambrose released me and yelled enter. I pulled the blanket up to my neck to cover my nakedness and watched Faris and Emily enter the room."Sorry to bother you both, but I wanted to tell you thanks for the cool things in our rooms," Faris mumbled and Emily nodded her head. "I'm glad you're both happy. I want to speak with you today about pe
Marked and mated with my king & facing Vlad Ambrose made the sweetest love to me. We had sex the rest of the day and most of the night. I was completely satisfied with him. We were both lost in a love induced haze and laying on our backs looking up at the ceiling. I had a huge grin on my face."I love you Ambrose and it's really real, completely and utterly for real," I stated in wonderment. He chuckled heartily and rolled over and kissed my cheek."I love you for real too," he said happily and asked if I wanted blood. I nodded and he wrapped a blanket around his waist and hurried off. When he came back in he was troubled. He handed me a bag and sighed."I called the palace...Vlad is back, Everett took Silvar and the kids, they are on their way here," he said softly. My heart dropped in my chest."What about Xander," I asked him and he said that was who he spoke to. Viktor and Elwin left so he was the only one there."I need to return and deal with him once and for all," he growled m
Finding a way back to Russia from Mexico The four of us made it easily across the border and even passed people traveling the other way. We could see the Mexican Federals searching where we had just been."Doesn't look safe in this country either," I mumbled bitterly and Ambrose exhaled."Make us invisible, Hera," he stated firmly and I looked at him like he was insane."I can't do that," I replied. He looked at me and smiled, telling me that it had been removed from my memory."Didn't you even wonder how your father was the number one assassin, it was because he could disappear. It's more like a chameleon, same concept and you can do like your father, only you can do it for the people you touch as well. That's why you were trained by Vlad, like your father was," he said quickly as the Federals came closer. I chewed on my bottom lip and grabbed each of their hands. I closed my eyes and prayed I could do this. I heightened my other senses and could hear three federal officers approachi
Reviving Xander and saving Effie and my grandsonAmbrose drank several bags of blood to replenish what was going into his brother. Xander was in bad shape. Everett had gone to the kitchen for us to check on the Mac and cheese."Do you think he flew here with his bats," Viktor asked Ambrose. He glanced at his brother and shrugged."Only Vlad has bats, Viktor, I am only wondering why Vlad told me they were dead," he growled angrily and I said I agreed. "The officers that confronted us said Vlad told them Effie was the key to capture the queen, he was working with them," Xander mumbled sourly and I furrowed my brow in anger."That mother fu," I started and Ambrose covered my mouth with his hand, his eyes gesturing towards Faris and Emily. I nodded and told him thanks."What I meant to say is what a horrible little prick," I growled and Ambrose shook his head with a smile. Everett came out and announced that the late lunch was finished and the children rushed towards him. He looked at me
Coming to terms with my messed up lifeI watched Ambrose approach me reluctantly and rolled my eyes."Just do it, I don't feel like bleeding out and dying at this time," I growled angrily and felt his hot damp tongue move across my skin erotically and my eyes widened and my mouth fell open. Is this what a real pereche feels like, I thought as the warmth curled in my insides and settled in my abdomen. Ambrose had paused mid lick and inhaled deeply to adjust his pants."I'd forgotten how intense it was between us," he said roughly and looked at me with glowing green eyes. I laughed suddenly, not from humor but because it felt so strange, like going back in time. I lifted my hand and palmed his cheek and grinned when he rubbed against it unaware. It was just our bodies responding to the connection without our knowledge. We were natural mates yet we were reluctant to complete the bond. My injuries were sealed and Ambrose sat up and chuckled."You were my first kiss, I still remember that d
Vlad's absence and Ambrose's oddnessI woke up blinking my eyes wondering where I was. I soon recovered and sat up. I glanced around the richly decorated obvious male room and paused. I rubbed my eyes over my stupidity last evening. I scrambled off the bed and put my clothes back on. I would need to speak with the staff to find my room. I finger brushed my hair and sniffed the air in hopes of scenting coffee. Instead my nostrils filled with the scent of a tasty smelling man. I breathed in deeply and grinned at the strangely unique scent. It must have been Ambrose's scent, it was very nice. I headed out in the hall and traveled to where I remembered the kitchens to be. When I entered, the room was full of staff preparing food. I smiled at them and saw Silvar heading towards me with a cup of coffee."Faris was up early talking excitedly about sledding," he warned. I chuckled and told him I planned on taking them both. "Well they both are eating pancakes and enjoying tiny bags of blood i
Our new home and Russian alliances The trip was chaotic but everyone that was coming managed to get put in the same flight. I'm sure it helped that Viktor and Vlad both owned their own planes. When we arrived at the actual freaking palace my eyes widened momentarily but then I remembered I'd been here numerous times as a child and my fifties. I raised my brow and glanced at Vlad. He was smiling at the excitement on his children's faces. He felt my eyes and grinned at me."Surely you remember this amazing place," he stated and I nodded, telling him that I did. Surprisingly I remembered where every room led and the river that flowed in the back along with the forest. Our vehicles all stop at the entrance and to the line of houseworkers. They all stood in a long line awaiting the master of the home or their king and now queen. Vlad exited the car without waiting for his driver to come and open it. The children scrambled out after him and I was last. Vlad helped me and took my hand in his
Everett, Elwin and attacked by the government I prepared a huge breakfast for my mate. Lori came in pushing me away from the stove, telling me to sit."Looks like you're both early risers and I'll need to come earlier," Lori mumbled softly. "It was just an odd prior evening and isn't a normal thing, so no need to change your work schedule," Vlad said firmly and Lori nodded and continued with her duties. She took over cooking for me. We sat at the table when Silvar returned with a yawning Viktor. I grinned slightly knowing that the both of them had a steamy evening like Vlad and I. "Good morning you two, I hope your night was enjoyable," Vlad said with a smirk. Viktor nodded as he sat, not giving any indications of his feelings. Silvar sat next to him looking lost in thought. "Carrick's son Everett and a Queen's agent named Elwin are coming this afternoon to stay for a bit," Vlad announced. "Elwin is a sweetheart, I met him once and felt a connection, but he was with his mate Spen
Dealing with the government I returned to Vlad and could hear the helicopter overhead. It's spotlight was shining down at our home and I scowled at their uncouth behavior. I stood next to Vlad holding his hand as the helicopter landed and several military officials exited followed by what was obviously some sort of general. The grunts cocked their guns and directed them at me. I chuckled internally."Apparently you're more of a concern than me," Vlad laughed softly as the general approached him with a raised hand."I'm general Hank Marshall and I have a warrant for this woman, Ms Hera Constantine. We don't want any problems sir," Hank bellowed in authority. Vlad smiled and shook the offered hand."This woman is my wife and the queen of the vampires, are you certain that there is a warrant for her arrest, Hank," Vlad asked."And who are you, may I ask," Hank scowled angrily. "I am the true vampire king Vlad Drăculea," he grinned, bowing his head slightly and the guns left me and were
