It seems that Seraphina is slowly remembering anyway but all these nightmares are taking there toll on her. I've noticed that even though she loves my touch she sometimes flinches as if I will hit her, I know it is just backlash from her past trying to come forward but it still hurts me that she would even consider that I would be able to raise my hand against her, well unless we are training of course which she can block and give back ten fold.I have now been getting her to tell me what she has dreamt of when she wakes up in the middle of the night, it seems to be helping.

    SERAPHINA POVThe last week and a half have gone so quickly, I am really starting to show now but they are growing at a normal rate. Doc Erik can't tell us went exactly when I will go into labour with them, as a vampire and a werewolf have 2 different lengths of pregnancy. For a vampire a pregnancy can last up to 12 months, he did say that the royal family normally had their babies by 8 months. A normal werewolf pregnancy lasts for 6 months unless it is an Alphas then it is only 4. So Doc Erik believes I will have them somewhere between 4 and 8 months because even though I'm not an Alpha, Dominic is from a royal bloodline which in a way makes him an Alpha. I am about a week or two off of being 4 months, I am starting to get scared and asking myself all the normal questions new mothers ask. Doc Erik says that is normal as well, he told me to talk to King Dominic about my fears and he can help to conquer them. I had another scan yesterday and the boy is going to be a lot bigger
