Nicolae’s POV:

Layla stumbles but quickly puts her shield back up before looking in my direction.

‘What are you doing!’ She shouts at me through our link.

‘I won't let you fight him alone!’ I replied.

‘Get out of here it's not safe!’ She shouts again as an attack suddenly heads in my direction.

The darkness that surrounds Samuel strikes me and sends me hurdling back and before I can blink Samuel is before me while still making assaults on Layla’s shield.

“You think you can save her! You failed the first time, what makes you think you will succeed this time! You're pathetic and now you have no one to make a deal with to save your precious wife and child!” Samuel hisses and readies himself for another attack.

A burst of red and blue light suddenly shoots from all directions and a cold feeling creeps into my chest making it hard to breathe. When I look up Samuel is frozen and everything around me is shrouded in the red and blue light. I stand quickly and move away from Samuel and

She is not very far along but after what her body has been through we can’t take any chances.” Amanda says as she stands from the bedside.“Thank you. I have a friend that can possibly help with that.” I replied.“Very well. I will take Lorie to bed. You should rest as well, your majesty.” Amanda says before picking Lorie up and leaving the room.I slowly dress for bed and slide in next to Layla and hold her in my arm

His highness won't be pleased with you wondering about after such an ordeal.” He says as he gently stops me from standing.“Zeke, I have been in this bed for two days. I need to get up.” I say as I shoo him off of me and stand on uneasy legs.“If you insist, my lady. Shall I escort you to his majesty after you have refreshed yourself.” He says as he motions to the bathroom.A warm shower suddenly sounds amazing and I oblige and head into the bathroom. Once I have

I was nervous and scared as my thoughts raced with all the information I had discovered in the few short hours I was awake but a sense of peace also lingered in my chest that I couldn’t explain. The next morning came quicker than I had intended and Nicolae took some time away from working to escort me to the doctor Amanda had found. Once the initial check up was complete I was rushed into a dark room where the doctor began to measure our baby. They told us it was still too early to detect a heartbeat and suggested that I come back in two weeks time. Nicolae and I agreed and after we had our next appointment we phased back to the underworld and began to prepare for our trip. Lorie was not excited about us leaving but I assured her I would return whenever I could to see her between the meetings. She reluctantly agreed

She entered John's room, found his comatose wife and woke her.” I reply in summary.“She did what?!” Amanda says loudly.“She has to stop doing these things! They aren't good for her health if she passes out every time she uses her powers.” Amanda says and begins to dab a damp cloth to Layla's head.“I will send for a physician in the morning just in case.

Amanda helped me onto a horse and as I mounted Nicolae came up beside me on a horse of his own. “I may not agree with this but trust you, my queen.” He says with a slight bow. I smile gently at him and then take off at a slow pace to the meeting spot. Once we arrive I spot a general on a horse in the field waiting for our arrival. Nicolae and I approach him and stop a few feet away. “Is this really necessary?” Nicolae asks with his head held high. “This vision of peace that you are so hell bent on your majesty is just that, a vision. In all my years none of our kind have ever been at peace.” The general says with a smirk. “But it is possible.

The little ones will be up soon and we have a long journey to begin tomorrow.” She says with a smile. “A long journey? Where are we going?” I ask curiously. “It has been decided that we will be returning to the underworld soon.” She replies. “But..is it safe to be phasing this far with the twins just being born?” I ask as I glance at their cribs. “Oh no my lady, your husband has arranged special transportation for us. He insists we go by car until we can go no further then phase into the underworld. Most of the others have already gone ahead and we will follow in three days after you have rested more.” She replies with a reassuring smile. I nod, satisfied with her answer and lie back down onto the soft pillows and let sleep take me once more. As Amanda has said we leave in three days time. We stayed
