Chapter 40
I opened the door to the house only to be greeted by a crashing sound and Ann yelling. I walked into the living room watching her as she went psycho on Billy. I wondered what he had done now to deserve the weight of Ann’s wrath.
“How could you say that to her? She’s been through enough without you adding to it!”
The fight was about me, but I wasn’t sure exactly what in context. I moved close to Maria who was at the foot of the stairway. Maria turned to me with a polite smile and put an arm around me. My dad and Joe just watched. Ash was nowhere to be seen. I had spent a wonderful night with Josh only to come home and have it ruined. I needed to move out sooner than scheduled.
“It’s the truth!” Billy yelled back.
“You are unbelievable! How could you be so self-absorbed! She was right about one thing I need to see a shrink.”
Someone had told them about the argument we had. I was hoping they

“What about the twins, are they all right?” I whispered under Ash’s neck. I didn’t feel like turning and looking at Joe. His voice didn’t hide how unsure he was about me, I was sure his face would express the same if he had to lie to me about the twins.“They sound fine, the pace is picking up.” Joe’s voice was clearer and leveled. He wasn’t lying.“Good, that’s all that matters.” I relaxed myself in Ash’s arms and made myself even more comfortable as my eyelids became too heavy to keep open.“Joe, do you think the venom is doing this to her?” Ash sounded scared.“I don’t think so. It should be making her stronger not weaker,” Joe answered.“Maybe I should go back on the balanced diet. Blood hasn’t been working for a while.” I fisted Ash’s shirt in my hand before I closed my eyes. I wanted to sleep in his arms just in

I slept peacefully that night and for once I woke up on my own without coercion from the twins. I felt light, better than I had ever felt before, well enough to go to school. Sleeping in Ash’s arms brought back memories and feelings of the fairytale times we spent together. They didn’t hurt like they used to when I pined and cried for him, instead they spread warmth inside me that if the twins felt like kicking up a storm I wouldn’t feel it.I still had my art stuff and I needed to take them back to Jonah. I didn’t have permission to keep them for this long. I walked to my car, drinking up the warm sun and the cool air. The trees looked beautiful as they swayed majestically to the wind. Everything seemed different in a wonderful way. I didn’t bother to pass through the kitchen because I didn’t want anyone to burst my happy bubble. Everyone was still on edge, and I didn’t want Joe’s concern over my health to dampen my spirits.

He gave me a perplexed look. “Only last night? That’s weird. I’ve always thought myself as a very attractive man on a twenty-four-seven basis.”I laughed. His first good joke! “That’s not what I meant, Johnny Bravo. Your body temp, how did you raise it so high?”“It’s something we can do. Our blood pumps faster than the blood of humans. I just had to increase the pace a little.”“Thanks for that. I thought my fingers were going to start falling off due to frost bite.”“You’re welcome. It scared me to see you so sick. But it did give me a good excuse to hold you as you slept again.” His velvety smooth voice sounded so sincere.I didn’t want to get my hopes up, and I didn’t want to ask in case he shot me down again. The only thing left was to change the subject.“What time did you leave my room?”He was quiet for a mom

I was in a haze through all my morning classes. All I could think about was my children and how crucial it was to get them away. I only had three months left to plan and it didn’t feel like enough time. I needed to find the right parents, the right people who could handle the adoption privately and off the record if possible. I couldn’t just look them up in the yellow pages. I wanted someone who could assure me no one would be able to link them to me. They were to be untraceable even by me. If I were to live with this decision I had to make sure they would have a happy, normal, full, and safe life.Josh dragged me outside and made me sit in the sun. He said I looked so pale he thought I was turning Caucasian. Josh talked and I half listened, smiling on occasion and laughing when he did. Usually his presence was enough to distract me from my problems but not even his sense of humor and beautiful smile could give me a temporary fix.I thought of Ash and his p

I stopped and retreated, looking around for another exit. There was none. I thought of fighting my way out, but I knew he wouldn’t be as easy to take as Sabrina was. He would kill me in an instant, and I needed to protect my children.“When Sabrina told me Ashat left you because you were pregnant by another man, I needed to see it for myself. Pride was the legacy of Kiyo and his sons. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see Ashat in shame but sadly it isn’t so.” His eyes turned gold again as his face creased in anger. I took a few more steps back, keeping one hand over my belly.“Baku what do you want?” I could hear the fear in my voice. I needed to get out of here.He smiled, but there was nothing cute about it. It was a sadistic cold smile. “Ashat has you well informed about me. Yes, I’m Baku, in the flesh. Thanks to the household of Kiyo, I am immortal. Those animals hunted me down like prey and killed m

I fell to the ground coughing, thanking God and crying at the same time. I felt a hand on my back. I pulled away and looked up. It was Ash. He had a relieved look on his face that was quickly replaced by a livid expression. His eyes turned silver and his face was red. His lips drew back exposing his sharp teeth. A loud rumble rolled over his chest letting loose a thunderous angry lethal growl.“I’m going to kill him.” He hissed acidly. He stood up to leave but I held on to his hand.“Don’t go after him. We don’t know how many wolves came with him.” I pulled myself up and placed myself firmly between him and the door. Baku was still stronger than Ash and with his dogs they could kill him. I couldn’t let that happen.“Lee, I have to go after him.” He took a step forward and I took a step back blocking his path.“They’ll kill you, Ash!”“Not before I kill him.” He took another step.“Before or after you kill me because that’s the only way you are going to go after him alone.”He looked a

I leaned back in the seat and gave up. There was no way he was going to go against Ash just because I asked him to. Billy and Joe raced all the way. We got home in twenty minutes, a third of the time it usually took us. They ushered us into the house locking the steel doors behind us. They rushed around the house closing all the doors and windows and setting up the alarm system that I never knew we had.We went into the AA room and sat on the big leather couch. Ann disappeared for a minute before she came back with all our guns. She checked and loaded them then placed them on the table. She took a bottle of whisky off the wall and poured Maria and herself a glass. Maria disappeared and came back with a tray of sandwiches and a glass of milk for me. I just sat there imagining all the things that could go wrong.Billy walked into the room shirtless and in gym shorts. He stood in front of the TV and just looked at us. “We’ll be outside. Don’t open the do

“Stop diagnosing her, Maria, not everything is as bad as it looks. If she says she can handle it she can handle it. So when are they due?”Ann was filling herself with water. This time things were worse than they looked. “Baku says I have two more pains to go.”“Those pains that tear you apart and leave you passed out?” Ann had a horrified look on her face. I nodded.“They only grow once, and since my body doesn’t change at the same rate, they have to make room for themselves.”“That sounds like something from an X-files movie.”Maria stood up and walked out of the room. She was back with a pen and a paper. “The pains are four weeks apart, so…”I cut her off, shocked. “You’ve been counting the days?”“Joe said I should. This way we’ll be prepared for the next one. But the only problem is the next one should have bee
