Pregnant for the ruthless billionaire vampire Chapter 64
ELENA'S POVAurora's words sat in the room like something physical, taking up space, refusing to be reasoned with. Someone doesn't make it. I held onto Lucian's hand until my knuckles ached and watched our daughter standing in the doorway in her small nightgown, looking far too steady for what she'd just said."Who," I said. "Aurora, you have to give me something. A name. A feeling. Anything.""I don't know," she said."You said someone dies—""I said someone has to," she said. "Not who. I looked as hard as I could and the vision doesn't show me that part. It's like—" She stopped, searching for the words the way she always did now, vocabulary outrunning experience by weeks instead of years. "It's like a door that's open but the room behind it is dark. I can see that something happens. I can't see what it looks like."Lucian's hand tightened around mine."Could it be wrong?" he said. "The vision. Could you be misreading it?""I don't think so," Aurora said. Quiet. Certain in the parti

ELENA'S POV"Everyone I looked at was dying," Aurora said again.The wind on the hill kept moving like the world hadn't just tilted sideways."Show me," I said. My voice came out steadier than I felt. "Not the vision. Just, tell me what you saw. Slowly."Aurora's small hand tightened in mine. "Fire," she said. "And Seraphine on the ground, not moving. And you—" She stopped."Me what?" I said."You weren't there anymore," she said. "In some of them. Not in any of them, actually."Lucian's hand found my shoulder. I felt the bond go tight and cold on his end, the same drop I was feeling, neither of us finding words fast enough to fill the silence Aurora's voice had left behind."How many futures did you see?" Seraphine said. She'd crouched to Aurora's level, gold eyes steady, the only adult on that hill whose voice didn't shake."A lot," Aurora said. "They keep branching every time something changes. Every choice opens more." She looked up. "I only looked because I was scared. I wanted t

ELENA'S POVAurora was building something out of stones when I found her on the sanctuary's eastern hill.Not stacking them. Arranging them, a pattern that meant nothing to me and clearly meant something to her, her small hands moving with a precision that had no business belonging to a child who'd existed for three months.She looked like she could have been two years old. Dark hair past her shoulders now, the soft roundness of infancy gone from her face, replaced by something with actual structure to it, Lucian's jaw already starting to show underneath the baby fat that was disappearing faster than it should have."What are you building?" I said, sitting down beside her."Wall," she said.Her vocabulary had exploded in the last month. Esmeralda said that was consistent with the acceleration, language came online faster than the body sometimes needed it to, a side effect of a mind racing to catch up to itself."A wall for what?" I said.She looked up at me with those gold eyes, stead

ELENA'S POVEsmeralda's sanctuary sat behind wards that made my teeth ache the moment we crossed into them.Not painful exactly. Just present. A pressure against the threading framework that had nothing to do with Cain's frequency or anything vampiric at all, older, stranger, built from something that didn't answer to blood the way every other power I'd encountered did.Two months had passed since we walked through them the first time.Two months of living inside the sanctuary's borders while Esmeralda's coven debated terms, tested intentions, and slowly, carefully, on their own unhurried timeline, decided whether harboring the most hunted family in the supernatural world was a bargain worth making.Viviana was seven months now.The acceleration of the last weeks had cost her in ways that showed even when she insisted otherwise. She moved slower. She slept more, when she slept at all. Nara had taken to checking on her twice daily instead of once, and the two of them had developed the

ELENA'S POVBy the second day, Kyle stopped reading the reports out loud.He just turned the laptop around and let us see for ourselves. Easier that way. Faster. The numbers had grown past the point where saying them meant anything — three hundred, six hundred, a number that kept climbing every time he refreshed the feed.We were in the back room of a motel forty miles outside the city, the kind of place that took cash and didn't ask questions, six adjoining rooms rented under three different names. Ryker's wolves rotated the perimeter in shifts. Viviana slept when she could, which wasn't often. Aurora slept more than any of us, which was its own kind of strange because newborns weren't supposed to also be growing visibly between naps."The council," Kyle said, "is gone.""Gone how," Lucian said. He'd been standing at the window for the last ten minutes, arms crossed, watching the parking lot like watching it would change anything about what was happening sixty miles away."Every seat

ELENA'S POV"Everyone moves. Now." Lucian was on his feet before I finished the sentence, one hand still braced against the cracked wall, his legs unsteady and his jaw set against it."Can you stand?" I said."I can stand enough," he said.Kyle's phone was still going off under the table. He pulled it free and looked at the screen and his face did the thing it did when the news was bad enough that delivering it required no preamble."Three vehicles," he said. "Eight minutes out. Confirmed enslaved signatures.""He's sending them here," Seraphine said. Aurora was still in her arms, both small hands pressed flat against her collarbone, gold light pulsing faint and steady at her fingertips like something keeping time."He saw the safe house through Lucian's eyes for half a second," I said. "That's all he needed."Viviana came out of the back room with one hand braced against the doorframe and the other pressed against her stomach. Five months pregnant and moving like every step cost her

ELENA'S POVThe building swallowed us whole.We came through the north loading dock at six fourteen, Viviana's ward sequence clearing the threshold cleanly, and the moment we were inside I felt it. The particular quality of a space that had been prepared for something specific. Not just fortified.
Pregnant for the ruthless billionaire vampire Chapter 27
ELENA'S POVThe bond pulled the moment he crossed the threshold. I pressed it back before he finished walking through the door.He looked like he'd driven through the night again. Dark circles. Shirt open at the collar. His silver eyes found mine immediately across the main hall the way they alway

ELENA'S POVSeraphine didn't answer immediately.That was the answer."How long?" I said.She set down the text she was holding. "I suspected from the beginning. The bloodline doesn't simply appear fully dormant in one generation without a carrier in the generation before it. Someone had to pass it
Pregnant for the ruthless billionaire vampire Chapter 25
ELENA'S POVWe didn't sleep that night.Seraphine photographed the symbols from every angle before we touched them. Then she spent two hours cross-referencing them against the oldest texts she'd brought from the brownstone, the ones that had survived because they'd been in her jacket rather than on
