“You’re back!” Emily said when I opened the front door and caught her coming down the hall with a bowl of popcorn.“Is that Ryder?” Link yelled from the living room.“Hey Ems,” I said and kissed her cheek as we hugged trying not to spill the popcorn.“Who’s this?” Emily asked as Link joined her. Ava stood slightly behind me, a nervous smile on her face.“This is Ava, that’s Emily, my cousin, and Link, my second,” I said.“Nice to meet you,” Ava said as both of them stared at her.“Come on,” I said to Ava and headed upstairs with the first two suitcases.I stopped on the second floor and led Ava to the guest room. I placed her suitcases in front of the dressing room and switched the bathroom light on for her.“For the time being this will be your room until we’ve figured everything out,” I said as she looked around the room.“You mean until you have proof that you’re the father,” she said.“I don’t mean it like that,” I said feeling awkward just standing there.“Thank you,” she said no

Ava was now ten weeks pregnant and we were patiently waiting for the results of the paternity test. People were speculating about her; she was living in my house after all. We ate together in the dining room and that was about the total amount of time we spent together.I had put a stop to Linda training her until we knew the paternity of the baby. I hadn’t spoken to Rylee yet and neither Lucas nor Chase could tell me anything. She hadn’t reacted when Lucas had told her about Ava and that scared me.“Grey,” I answered my ringing phone.“Sire Ryder, I have received the results of the paternity test,” Peter said.“And?”“Congratulations Sire,” he said and I closed my eyes.I ended the call without saying anything else and just sat there with my hands in my hair. It was official, I was going to be a father and now I had to do the right thing. I looked at my phone and called the Elders’ headquarters.“Elder Michael speaking.”“Good afternoon Elder, it’s Ryder,” I said.“Sire Ryder, how ca

“Look what the cat dragged in!” he said loudly as he walked towards me.“Yeah and I’m still better looking than you,” I said as we hugged.“And who’s this?” Chase asked as Ava stared at him. I hadn’t told her that we were identical.“This is Ava, this is Chase, my brother,” I introduced them.“Mom’s ready to castrate you,” he said as he shook hands with Ava.“At least I’m already pregnant,” Ava said and Chase started laughing.“She’ll fit right in,” he said as he placed his arm around my shoulder and his other arm around Ava. “I always love it when you’re the culprit.”“Aww is Melissa mad at you again, not getting any?” I asked him.“Piss off little brother,” he said and smiled.Melissa walked inside with Lucas and Rylee and Ava suddenly gripped my hand. Rylee didn’t look at me and I made the introductions as everyone stood around awkwardly. “We’re set up outside,” I said and led the way to where Chase had already downed a beer.“So how did you two meet?” Rylee asked.“We met Mom, end

I picked up my phone and dialed the Elder’s number. It rang and rang and then disconnected. I dialed their number again and tapped my pen against the daily planner in front of me. I was only patient when hunting and I almost ended the call.“Elder Victor speaking,” he finally answered his phone.“Elder, we have a problem,” I said. “It’s Ryder by the way.”“What problem might that be Sire Ryder?” he asked me.“I can’t go through with this bonding ceremony,” I said.“Sire Ryder, all the facts have been established …”“I’m not fucking doing this!” I said angrily.“Sire Ryder, let me get this straight, you’re refusing to bond with Miss Ava?” he asked me.“Yes.”“Why?”“Because it’s not real,” I said to him.“Sire, I understand. The bond will appear after the ceremony as it does with chosen mates, the girl is pregnant with your heir, you cannot claim him or her otherwise,” he said gently.“What are my options here?”“We will have to convene with both families present and see if another agr

Felix was in the fourth cell, strapped to the bed, a bucket in the corner, the bare mattrass was stained with his blood and sweat. He was alone and I quickly popped the vent covering off and dropped down to the floor.“Felix,” I whispered as I held his head in my hands.I pulled out the knife that was strapped to my ankle and flicked it open. I cut the bonds on his arms and legs and then I cut my wrist open and held it against Felix’s mouth. It was exactly five seconds later when his hands gripped my arm and he started drinking greedily.The colour returned to his face and I could feel his grip tighten as he regained his strength. I pried my wrist away from his mouth and his lips were stained red with my blood. The wound healed and Felix opened his eyes.“Took your bloody time brother,” he murmured as he wiped his mouth.“I came as soon as I got your message,” I said and put the knife back in its holster.“I’ve been sending you messages for months fearing that you were dead,” he said

“Felix!” Elio yelled as the front door slammed open.We missed part of their reunion because Felix had zipped inside and they were hugging, laughing and crying by the time we joined them at the front door. Marlo stood to one side, looking like herself, a small bump on her stomach visible under her shirt.“Ryder,” Elio said emotionally as he grabbed me in a hug as well.“I know,” I said.“Marlo,” Felix said as he gently hugged her.“We missed you so much,” she cried.“Trust me not as much as I missed you all,” Felix said.“I think it’s time you two moved to Springfield,” Basil said to Elio.“Why?” Felix asked.“My coven’s there, we can all be together,” Basil said.“I’m going home with Ryder,” Felix said.“We still have work to do,” I said.“And that’s why we make such a great team,” Felix said determinedly.“We’ll come with you,” Basil said.“No Basil, you’ve got a coven to care for. Elio needs to be with Marlo. This is something that Ryder and I have to do, this is much bigger than j

“Gentlemen, I must say I’m surprised that you’re all here,” I said.“Sire Ryder, you did claim that there will be no bonding session between yourself and Miss Ava,” Elder Cliff said.“Which is total bullshit,” Anthony said.“Ryder’s right, there can be no bonding session,” Felix said.I had told him everything that had happened, he was my brother after all and we used to share everything. Even Abeloth was calmer and his bloodlust wasn’t as active since we’d found Felix.“Who the hell is he? This is a private matter,” Anthony said.“This is Felix Sherwood,” I introduced him.“That still doesn’t explain his presence,” Anthony said rudely.“I studied supernatural law,” Felix said and sat down on a chair making himself comfortable.“As I was saying, the bonding can’t proceed because Ava’s human, a fact you omitted from the Elders,” I said to Anthony.“Is this true?” Elder Victor asked him.“What does that matter? He impregnated her, she’s carrying his heir,” Anthony said.“This isn’t real

“Lord Typhon,” I said and bowed my head as I stood in the dank cave.“Sire Ryder,” Typhon said, his voice echoing off the walls.“You summoned?” I asked as Abeloth separated and bowed his head as well.“This woman’s turning ceremony will not be permitted,” Typhon said.“Why not?” I asked him.“Because she is not worthy of your mark, when the time comes you will be glad that she doesn’t bear your mark,” Typhon said.“Forgive my insolence Typhon, but she carries my heir,” I said.“She carries your child, not your heir,” he said.“I don’t understand,” I said to him.“You will, this girl has only half dragonkin blood, she will not be fit to rule in your stead, she will not be as mighty as your true heir,” he said.“You wish for me to not claim this child?” I asked him.“Yes,” he hissed.“You don’t approve of me with Ava?” I asked him.“You have needs halfling, fulfill them at your own risk, but your heir will be borne by another woman,” he said.“What?” I asked him.“It is not the time fo
