LanceI stormed through the Compound until I came to the throne room, where Darius used to pass judgment on members of his coven. Raif was sitting there with Selestra draped all over him.“Where are my children?” I growled, clenching my fists.Selestra’s head snapped up.“So, Lance….” A broad smile spread across Raif’s face. “How does it feel to have what you hold most dear taken from you?”“Give me back my children!” Leila screamed, starting toward him, but I stopped her.“Well!” Raif chuckled. “I see you brought the little missus this time! I think I just might kill her, too.”“Over my dead body,” I stormed toward him, but Raif was already on his feet.“If you kill me, you’ll never find your children!” Raif growled as Selestra took a step back. “You took everything from me!”I scoffed, inclining my head toward Selestra. “Obviously, I haven’t taken everything.”“She came back to me after you left her, alone and defenseless!” He walked purposefully toward me.I burst out laughing. “Th

Leila“Put me down!” I yelled when we arrived back at our castle. “I’m in control now.”Lance set me on my feet as he looked into my eyes, ripping out my heart. “Leila, I promise you, we’ll get the children back.”I nodded. “I know. Lance, I’m so sorry I called you a liar. I was just—”“I know.” He pulled me to his chest as I held him, gripping his shirt.“Lance, I—” Then it hit me as I looked into his eyes. “Raven’s still here.”“I know, but—”“No, Lance!” I cut him off. “Maybe she can help us find the children.”He let out a deep breath. “You’re right.” He motioned with his head toward the stairs. “Let’s go!”We darted up the stairs and were on the top floor within seconds. Down the hall, two guards stood outside our door along with Raven’s guards.“Has anyone entered or exited the penthouse while we were away?” Lance demanded.Javier shook his head. “No, sir.”“Thank you.” Lance opened the door and stood back, letting me go in first.“Raven,” I said, quickly crossing the room to he

Leila“Seize them!” guards yelled as soon as they saw us.“Mommy!” Sirena yelled, running toward me.Addie stood in front of us, donning her fighting stance. “Stay behind me!”But I grabbed Sirena and Jase and pulled them behind me. “Stay behind me and don’t look!”Lance leaped at one guard and quickly ripped off his head as his body burst into flames. One of Raven’s guards ripped out the heart of another vampire, and orange, red, and yellow flames shot up from his corpse as he fell to the ground, along with his heart. Raven’s other guard ripped the head off the last vampire, holding it by the hair, and then dropped it onto the floor as it burst into flames, along with the body. Addie didn’t move from in front of us, standing as protector over the children and me the whole time.“Where’s Selestra and Raif?” I yelled, holding the children behind me.“They were here earlier, but they left,” Addie replied.“Leila, stay here with the children!” Lance and Addie darted quickly out the door,

Lance Four Months Later “Good morning, love,” I said, greeting Leila one morning. She looked as sexy as ever after stepping out of the shower. “Morning,” she replied, sadness in her eyes. “I’ll be right out.” Then she walked into the dressing room and locked it behind her, pain ripping through my chest. She blamed me for the children leaving with Raven, or at least I thought she did, although she never said so. Since the children went with Raven, Leila spent most of her time training with Annette Depraysue at the Tenebris Witch Coven. Luckily, it was close by, so Leila came home at night, but she was becoming more and more quiet, withdrawing within herself. And I blamed myself. If I could have protected my children better while they were here, maybe we wouldn’t have had to send them away. We receive frequent reports about the children from Raven along with pictures... and they’re growing fast. Too fast. We also visit them as often as possible, but it’s not the same. Although w

START VOLUME 4PrologueLanceNow that the children are in New York, Leila isn’t the same. She’s moping around the castle and barely drinks enough blood to keep her body from desiccating. When a vampire desiccates, their body hardens, eventually withering away until they’re nothing but a useless shell, becoming living mummies. Although I would never let that happen to my Leila, I’m worried. I fear she may leave me if something doesn’t change between us soon.I’m losing my family, and I’m unsure what to do about it.As the leader of the North Coven, I must stay here to defend and command the coven. It had never been a problem before, but now, it is. My first priority must be my family and their protection. In all my years as a vampire, I’ve never had a family before, and I’ll be damned if I’ll let Raif and Selestra take them from me now.Raif is my one-time best friend. Now, he’s after the children and Leila to get back at me for succumbing to my lust years ago with Selestra, his woman

LeilaI headed toward the bathroom and closed and locked the door, knowing he was right. At that moment, I realized that if I didn’t start being a wife to Lance, I was going to lose him, too. I turned on the shower, letting the water warm as tears slid down my face. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to hold myself together, but it was no use. I collapsed onto the floor, sobbing.Lance tried the door, and then it suddenly opened. I wasn’t sure how since I had locked it, but Lance had his ways. He wrapped his arms around me and lifted me into his arms as he slid me onto his lap, cradling me to his chest.“Leila....” was all he could say. Then his broad shoulders started shaking, too. He held me as we both cried together, sitting on the bathroom floor. Then he swept me into his arms, carried me into the bedroom, and laid me on the bed.He crushed his lips to mine as he lay beside me, holding me to him. “Leila, I’m so sorry.... I love you, my sweet Leila....” He kissed my neck and c

LeilaLooking through my closet, I chose a beige wraparound dress that fell to a few inches from my knees and a pair of matching heels, wanting to look professional. Then I slipped on a wide black belt and was ready. Catching sight of myself in the mirror, I nearly shrieked. I quickly grabbed a brush and ran it through my wavy blonde hair, applied lipstick, and came out, ready to go.“Wow....” Lance smiled, his eyes wide when I walked out. “You look gorgeous.” He was already dressed in a light gray suit with a light-blue shirt that contrasted beautifully with his gorgeous green eyes, ready to go.I slid the chain of my small purse over my shoulder, taking him in. “So do you.” I smiled as I closed the distance between us and pressed my lips to his. I wrapped my arms around him, feeling the muscles of his hard, tight back under my grasp.Lance pulled back a moment later, smiling against my lips. “I think we’d better go before I change my mind and decide not to let you leave.”“Promises,

LeilaThe elevator doors opened, and I stepped in, glad I had come with Lance to the hospital, after all. It had been a while since I visited Amy, and I was in the mood for a good gabfest.Within minutes, I knocked on the door of her lab.“Come in!” Amy yelled from the other side.When I walked in, she was already hard at work on a new project, wearing a lab coat and safety goggles, and she had something boiling on the Bunsen burner. She took it off with a pair of tongs, and the liquid glowed bright blue. She was making more of the Sunlight Serum that prevented the radioactive poisoning that caused vampires to burst into flames in the sun. Since I had perfected it, vampires could now walk in the sun.A huge smile swept across her face when she saw me, and she took off her safety goggles. “Leila! I’m so glad you’re here! I was just making some more—”“Sunlight Serum,” I finished, smiling. “It’s good to see you, too.” I pulled her in for a quick hug when she was ready. “How have you bee
