Dax’s pov.

I dried off roughly, jaw locked so tight my teeth ached, then stalked to the wardrobe. Loose black sweatpants and shirt. I needed to move, to burn this fire out before it consumed me.

The house was still dark, the night young, but sleep was a joke now. Every time I closed my eyes I saw her, red hair spilling across my pillow, belly rounded with my pup, lips parted on a moan that belonged only to me.

I headed for the private gym on the lower level, bare feet silent on the cool floors

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 352: The One Still Missing

    Dax's POV By the time our jet landed in Shadowfen, Ciara had fallen asleep again, although she woke almost immediately when I tried to help her from her seat. She insisted she was perfectly capable of walking, and judging by the look she gave me when I offered to carry her, I decided it was probably wiser not to suggest it a second time. I still kept an arm around her as we made our way out, though. Her stomach was getting heavier, and with the baby becoming more active lately, I wasn't particularly comfortable letting her move around without someone nearby. Shadowfen looked much the same as when we'd left. The estate was familiar, the guards were at their usual positions, and the atmosphere seemed almost peaceful compared to everything we'd experienced in the human realm. Ciara looked around quietly as we entered, and I noticed the small smile that appeared on her face. "Feels like we haven't been here in forever," she murmured. "A lot has happened." "That's putting it mildly."

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 351: More Than His Mark

    Ciara's POVI had promised myself I would get some rest during our flight to Shadowfen, but that promise hadn't lasted very long. My laptop was already open, and I was halfway through another report concerning the Dagon empire while Dax quietly massaged my swollen feet, which were resting across his lap. He'd been doing this so often throughout my pregnancy that I barely needed to ask anymore, and honestly, with how heavy my body had become lately, I appreciated every bit of it.I leaned back against the cushions, enjoying the relief his fingers brought while trying to concentrate on the figures on my screen. Unfortunately, the little troublemaker inside me had other plans, because every time I adjusted my position, another kick seemed to follow. At this point, I was beginning to wonder whether my baby was simply impatient to come out or had already inherited Dax's habit of interrupting me whenever I was busy.I shifted slightly against the cushions again, trying to concentrate on the

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 350: Someone's Getting Impatient

    Ciara's POV“Mom, if you put another piece of chicken on his plate, Valerio might actually run away from home.”My mother paused with the serving spoon halfway between the bowl and my brother's plate, then gave me an offended look. “Your brother has barely recovered, Ciara. He needs to eat properly.”“Mom, I've already eaten enough.” Valerio sighed, pushing his plate away before she could add anything else. “I'm recovering from being unconscious, not preparing for a food competition.”I burst out laughing, especially when Mom ignored his complaints and dropped another piece of chicken onto his plate anyway.“Then recover faster and stop looking so thin.”Valerio turned toward me with an expression that practically begged for help, but I only shrugged and continued eating. After everything our family had been through, watching Mom fuss over him was something I never wanted to complain about. She had barely allowed him out of her sight since he woke up, and although Valerio pretended to

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 348: Signed

    Jasper's POVIt had been almost a week since the war ended, and for the first time, I was beginning to understand what it meant to be weak.I could walk again, although my body still reminded me of everything I had lost whenever I moved too quickly. The wounds that should have healed within hours were taking days, and the ancient current that once flowed through me so naturally had become considerably weaker. Nearly half of it was gone, and according to the healers, there was no guarantee I would ever recover what I had lost. Even the Veilborn presence that used to surround me had diminished, leaving me feeling strangely unfamiliar in my own body.But the worst damage wasn't something anyone could see.Removing that seal had affected something much deeper than my current. The healers couldn't explain the full consequences, only that the connection between my present existence and Vaelor's future incarnations had been damaged. If I died now, there was no guarantee he would return in an

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 348: The Place He Left Empty

    Ciara's POVDax had been following me around the estate for most of the day, and I was beginning to wonder whether he had forgotten he was supposed to be running an entire empire especially with how complicated things are currently areHe followed me when I went to check on Mom, stood quietly near the door while I spent almost an hour with Valerio, and even accompanied me to the medical wing when I decided to visit Inara. He wasn't doing anything particularly annoying, which somehow made the whole thing more difficult. Whenever I looked at him, he would either ask if I needed something or simply wait for me to continue whatever I was doing, and not once had he attempted to stop me from going anywhere.I knew what he was doing, of course. Dax Blackthorne had never been particularly good at apologizing with words, so apparently he had decided to make himself useful until I figured out what to do with him.Unfortunately for him, I wasn't ready to make that decision.At least Mom and Vale

  • Pregnant For My Father-in-Law   Chapter 347: The Death They Invented

    Author's POV“Cici?”Valerio's voice was barely more than a whisper, but it was enough to make Ciara forget the blood running from her nose and the way her legs had almost given out. Dax steadied her until she could reach the bed, then stepped aside as she caught her brother's hand. His fingers were cold and weak, yet when she pressed them against her cheek, they moved to touch her tears.“It's me, Val.” Her attempt at a smile failed. “You scared me so much.”He stared at her, blinking slowly. For several seconds, his expression held the helpless confusion of someone waking in a place he didn't recognize. Then he studied her face again, from her eyes to the familiar way her mouth trembled when she was trying not to cry. “You've grown up,” he murmured.Ciara laughed and cried at the same time. “Well, you did take your time coming back.” She immediately regretted the words, but Valerio's lips curved faintly, and the sight nearly undid her all over again.His gaze travelled lower, stoppi
