(DANE POV)

I watched Jo as she knelt over the toilet, her body shaking with each heave.

It wasn't just the nausea that had me on edge... it was the fact that she hadn't answered me. The silence was crushing, and the longer it dragged on, the more my mind spun out of control.

Why wasn't she saying she chose me?

Why couldn't she just say it and put me at ease?

When she finally stopped retching, I moved quickly, helping her out of her clothes.

Her skin was clammy. She looked so fragile...

It scared me.

I changed as fast as I could, trying to keep myself from spiraling into full-blown panic. I had to hold it together.

For her, for us.

There was an us, wasn't there? But her refusal to say it made me doubt everything.

I crouched down beside her, desperate to understand what was happening. "Jo, you do choose me, right? I expected a lot today, but this... this wasn't one of them."

She tried to reply, but another wave of nausea hit, sending her back to the toilet, dry heaving again.

    (PERCY POV)I'm going to be a dad. Holy shit. I stared at the ceiling, trying to make sense of it all. The words kept looping in my head like a broken record: I'm going to be a dad. I'm going to be a dad. I'm going to be a dad. The one thing I never imagined I'd be in life was a dad. I mean, I'm a gay male... well, mostly gay. Girls never did it for me. At least, not enough to consider having a kid with one. Not until Mag forced me to be with Jo, and now... Jo was pregnant. I glanced down at her, asleep in my arms. The exhaustion had finally overtaken her after hours of throwing up, her body too worn out to keep fighting. I brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead, my chest tightening with emotions I didn't know how to process. How did we end up here? Across the room, Deirk was pacing like a caged animal. He looked ready to punch a hole through the wall or collapse in defeat. Maybe both. He raked his hands through his hair for the hundredth time, his eyes wild

    (JO POV) I drifted into sleep almost against my will, my body too drained from the endless vomiting, the shock, the sheer amount of everything that had been thrown at me. My thoughts were a tangled mess of confusion and fear. As soon as I closed my eyes, I was being pulled under, sinking into a deep, strange slumber. It felt more like an escape than rest.My dreams were vivid, unusually bright, and calm. It was the kind of calm that felt too perfect to be real. I found myself walking through a meadow, the sunlight warm on my skin, flowers blooming in vibrant colors all around me. It was peaceful... too peaceful. This kind of serenity was rare for me, but there was something comforting about it, like sinking into a memory I didn't know I had.But as I walked through the meadow, a feeling crept in, a sense that this wasn't just a dream—it was being controlled. The colors, the warmth, the tranquility... it was too deliberate, too tailored to what I needed at that moment. And that's whe

    ( DEIRK POV ) Running water echoed through the room as Dane and Jo headed to the shower. They both needed to clean up, to wash away the exhaustion and tension that clung to them after everything that had happened. They needed a moment together. We had all been glued to one another since finding out, even following her to the bathroom several times. We were all too scared to let her be alone, even for a second. I could hear the shower turn on, and for a moment, I relaxed into the familiarity of the sound. But then the unmistakable sound of Jo retching broke that peaceful noise. The sharp sound of her body fighting against the reality of what was happening inside her sounded so damn painful.Percy and I both flinched at the noise, our eyes meeting. I could see the worry lingering since we learned about the baby. He was going to be a dad. Holy shit. Percy, my Percy was going to be a dad.It was clear that it was starting to hit him hard."She's still sick," he mumbled. "I wish t

    (PERCY POV) Vikki knocked on the door before stepping in. But she wasn't alone. Jax was behind her.His presence immediately set my nerves on edge."Anyone need to eat?" Vikki asked, looking between Deirk and Dane. Dane shook my head, and Deirk did the same."We're good," I replied. "But thanks."Vikki nodded. She seemed to see through the thin layer of composure I was trying to hold onto. "Why don't you guys take a break? Go talk or something. Jax, Jo, and Percy can hang out here for a bit."Deirk glanced at me. I quickly nodded, hoping he couldn't see my unease. "Yeah, let's do that."Jax stepped into the room as Deirk made their way out, his usual cocky grin in place. He looked at Jo and me, then back at the departing vampires. "Jo and Percy might need some human time away from all the extreme vamp energy. It's good for the soul."I rolled my eyes. I was not in the mood for his jokes, but Jo chuckled softly. "Human time, huh? Sounds like a plan.""Great," Jax said, plopping into

    DANE POVVikki, Deirk, and I moved to my office across the hall. I took my usual seat while Deirk and Vikki settled into the opposite chairs. Deirk sat up, rested his head on the edge of the desk, and sighed. Vikki looked between us. "You're both still in shock," she observed. "And that's understandable. This isn't something you ever expected."Deirk leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling. "No kidding, Vikki. We're still trying to wrap our heads around it."I remained quiet. It was hard to articulate what was going through my mind. The idea of becoming a father and raising a child in a place like this was overwhelming.But Vikki was right.This was a rare opportunity.Vikki leaned forward. "Listen, this is going to be okay. You're getting an opportunity here that doesn't come along often. I know it's a lot to process, but it's also a gift. This baby... it's a gift."I nodded slowly. "I know," I finally replied. "It's just... it's a lot. And we will need to make some serious

Two weeks had passed since we found out Jo was pregnant, and now, after what seemed like forever, the message I'd been waiting for finally came through. Mag was coming home.Tonight.Deirk looked up from across the room, his eyes meeting mine. He didn't need to ask what had me on edge, but he did anyway. "What now?""It's happening," I replied, leaning back in my chair. "He's coming tonight.""Tonight," Deirk echoed, a slow smile creeping onto his face. "Perfect. Full moon and all.""Yeah," I agreed, the plan solidifying in my mind. "We're going all out."The hunt had been meticulously crafted, not just as a hunt but as a punishment. Tonight, the academy's halls would become a battlefield. Slaves and wards who had stepped out of line, or those whose masters wanted to teach them a brutal lesson, would be let loose. They could run, they could hide, but escape wasn't an option. The vampires would be released to hu

"I knew you'd like it," I said, forcing a smile that didn't reach my eyes. "Figured it would help you settle in before you dive into things at the school."He beamed, completely convinced that he had finally won me over. Inside, though, all I felt was cold resolve. I might have been excited...if he hadn't crossed the line, if he hadn't forced Jo into that unbearable situation. But he had, and now, he had to pay.Deirk played his role perfectly, not giving anything away as Mag eagerly shrugged off his sports coat and slid into the jacket like it was a badge of honor.

Tonight was his test, and Mag was about to become his plaything.I turned to Marshall, who was already eyeing Mag with a dark gleam that matched the twisted grin spreading across his face."Have your way with him," I said as I tossed him a set of knives. He caught them mid-air with ease, his excitement noticeable. "Break him from the inside out. Make it count, and don't hold back. You might want to stretch him a bit, loosen up... you know, to get things going in easily."Mag's eyes went wide, his bravado shattering as the reality of his situation hit him. The fear consumed him, and the blackness in his eyes betrayed his panic. He began to unravel, his desperation flooding the room."Dane, please! You don't have to do this!" he stammered out in a rush.

    (DEIRK POV) The struggle had been almost overwhelming for hours. Mag was vulnerable and weak, and all I could think about was how easy it would be to rip him apart. Every time I tried to push the thoughts away, the memories came flooding back, vivid and sharp, slicing through my mind like the knives he used on me for centuries.I leaned back, trying to escape the constant loop of flashbacks. Percy lay beside me, close enough that I could feel his heartbeat against me. He always knew when I was close to breaking. His touch was steady, tracing shapes across my chest.He was trying to remind me I was still here, still in control. But the memories were relentless.The first time Mag strapped me down, I thought I'd die from the pain. I could still feel the cold metal biting into my wrists, the restraints cutting into my skin as he stood over me. The blade he used wasn't sharp. It was dull, dragging across my chest just deep enough to make me scream but not enough to kill. He enjoyed it

    (DANE POV) I stood outside the room where Mag was held, feeling the moment's gravity. For 1,200 years, this man had been my "Daddy," inflicting pain, manipulating me, and shaping my life in his twisted image. Yet, there were times when he provided care and shelter, giving me some stability in the chaos. Now, the roles were reversed, and it was my turn to take care of him. A responsibility I never imagined. I opened the door and stepped inside. The air was thick with the smell of blood, remnants of the recent horrors that had unfolded. Mag lay on the floor, battered and broken, his once formidable presence reduced to a fragile shell. "Mag," I said as I approached. "It's time to get you cleaned up." He didn't respond, his vacant stare fixed on the ceiling. The man who once controlled everything now seemed utterly defeated. I crouched beside him. "Let's get you up and into the shower," I said, offering my hand. "I'll make sure it doesn't hurt more than it has to." Mag's eyes f

    (DANE POV)I didn't want her to deal with my insecurities right now. She had enough on her plate. Between last night's chaos and everything still unresolved, burdening her with my doubts felt selfish. But I couldn't shake the nagging thought clawing at me for what seemed like forever.She pulled away slightly, her expression shifting as she processed what I had said. "What? No, Dane, you know I chose you. How long have you been dealing with that and not said anything? What the hell?"Oddly enough, seeing her getting worked up over this made me feel a little better. It was like a reminder that she did care, that this wasn't just something trivial to her. I shrugged, trying to downplay the unease that had been messing with me for days. "I didn't want to upset you more."Without hesitation, she pulled me down until I was practically kneeling in front of her so we were at eye level. She gripped my shoulders, and the intensity in her eyes forced me to focus on her and nothing else. "I ch

    I left Deirk, Jo, and Percy curled up in bed asleep, intertwined after the chaotic night. They refused to sleep in different rooms, insisting on sticking together. They insisted on the same during sex with us, effectively turning it into our first foursome. I didn't dwell on why. Maybe they sought comfort, or perhaps they were afraid of us. Nevertheless, it was the right decision. I had to restrain Deirk more than once to prevent things from escalating. I hoped I had done it subtly enough that Jo and Percy didn't notice, but I wasn't so sure. They seemed more aware than they let on.As I stepped out of the room, I found Dom and Marshall loitering in the hallway. Seeing them there so early wasn't surprising, but there was something different about them. There was a hunger and eagerness in their eyes that I hadn't seen before. Lately, they had been pushing boundaries and testing limits, as usual, but this time it felt different."What's up?" I asked, heading toward my office. I had a

    (JO POV) I woke up to the unsettling emptiness beside me. Percy was still there, deep in sleep. Dane and Deirk were gone. I slipped out of bed. The silence weighed heavily, broken only by a distant, rhythmic sound that made my skin crawl.As I moved closer, the noise became unmistakable.Agonized groans accompanied the sharp crack of a whip. My heart pounded as the sound pulled me toward a door I had never noticed before. It was slightly ajar, with a sickly maroon light spilling into the hallway. I pushed it open and stepped inside.The room was a nightmare. Mag knelt in the center, shackled and bleeding. His body was crisscrossed with fresh wounds. Dane and Deirk stood over him, their eyes solid black, their faces crawling with red veins that pulsed with rage. Their need for total vengeance was consuming them. The brutality was terrifying to witness."Did you think you'd escape this, Mag?" Dane snarled in that thick accent, lashing the whip across Mag's back. "That we would just o

    (DEIRK POV)The moment I saw Marshall with those knives, everything I thought I had buried came surging back, tearing through the mental walls I had so carefully constructed.I was thrust back into the nightmare, and suddenly, it wasn't Marshall holding the blade...it was Mag.His twisted grin, the way he'd relish in our pain, the unbearable torture that followed. Mag didn't just inflict physical wounds. He cut into our very souls, leaving scars that never truly healed.He always started slow, like he was savoring the moment. The first cut was an intro, a reminder that the nightmare was beginning all over again. He'd look me in the eye, a sickening smile, and then drag the blade across my skin, just deep enough to make me scream but not deep enough to be fatal. The real agony came later, drawn out over hours, sometimes days.The burn of silver seared through my skin, leaving marks that would never fade. The scent of burning flesh, my own flesh, still haunted me. Mag would just laugh,
