Nyra’s point of view.

I arrived home late into the night.

“Welcome back miss.” James my butler welcomed me.

“Hello James, how are you?”

“Good ma’am.” He replied.

“I guess I’ll head upstairs now. He’s in bed now, isn’t he?” I asked.

“Went out immediately after bath time.”

“Thank you, well have a good night, James.”

“You too ma’am” he said curtly and sauntered away.

And I tiptoe quietly up the stairs to avoid waking up Lucien. But then I hear,

“Mommy!”

That’s when Lucien comes running down the hallway in his socks, blonde hair sticking up everywhere like he fought sleep and lost. I drop my bag and scoop him up, breathing him in like I’ve been underwater too long.

“You’re back,” he says, accusing and relieved at the same time.

“I told I would be didn’t I,” I murmur. “Did you behave?”

He grins. “Miss Abbey says I’m an angel.”

That makes me laugh. That’s my boy.“Yes, you are, my love.”

We sit on the edge of his bed, and he swings his legs while I loosen his grip around my neck.

“So,” he s

  • Pregnant with the Billionaire Vampire Heir   Bonds of Oracle

    Ardonis point of view.The mood in the chamber feels different this time.There is no laughter. No mocking smiles. No smug certainty.The elders sit in a tight circle, their faces drawn, their voices low. The air itself feels strained, like everyone in the entire clan is holding its breath.One of the elders speaks first. “There have been three more cases since the last meeting.”Another adds quietly, “Two elders.”A murmur ripples through the room.I straighten slowly. “Then it’s confirmed,” he says. “This isn’t random. We’re being targeted.”Eyes turn toward me.“The disease is spreading too precisely,” I continue. “And now rival clans are circling A new leader has emerged. We don’t know who he is yet but I’ve received reports from Europe, from the East. Territories are being contested. There have been more killings.”Fear flickers openly now.Lord Marcus rises from his seat. My uncle looks older than I remember, the weight of centuries pressing into his spine. Immortality be damned

  • Pregnant with the Billionaire Vampire Heir   PR Relationship

    Xaviers point of view.Victoria called it “controlling the public narrative.”I call it walking straight into a camera flash on purpose.We step out of the restaurant side entrance just as planned. Nyra loops her arm through mine, light but deliberate. She’s calm on the surface. I can feel the tension underneath it.“Relax,” Victoria murmurs from behind her phone. “Smile like you chose this.”A flash pops. Then another.I angle my body slightly toward Nyra, shielding her from the crowd the way a good boyfriend would. It’s instinctive—and probably too convincing. She glances up at me.“Too much?” she asks quietly.“Just enough,” I say.Victoria snaps again. “Perfect. Now walk. Slow. Talk to each other.”We stroll down the sidewalk. I lean in and murmur something meaningless about the weather. Nyra laughs on cue, soft and believable. The cameras eat it up.Flash. Flash. Flash.We stop at the corner café. I pull out a chair for her. She rolls her eyes behind her shades but sits anyway.

  • Pregnant with the Billionaire Vampire Heir   Substitute Daddy

    Nyra’s point of view.I stood by the window long after the gates slide shut behind Ardonis’ car.Lucien was safely tucked in bed after I had fielded questions about the scary man I was talking with outside and now the night is quiet again. Too quiet.I wrap my arms around myself, nails pressing into the sleeves of my sweater, and for just a second—just one—I wondered if I made the wrong choice.He looked broken when he left. Smaller somehow. Less like the man who once ruled my life.The thought almost softens me.Almost.But then my mind decides to warm me, dragging me backward to a night she has never truly been able to forget.Not their wedding night.Later.Few weeks later.I remembered standing in the doorway of his penthouse study, holding a silver tray and a ceramic tea set that looked like it cost more than what most people earned in a year. I had made the tea myself, hands trembling I was rehearsing what I wanted to say.Maybe tonight he’ll listen.Maybe tonight I’ll matter to

  • Pregnant with the Billionaire Vampire Heir   Rejected Lord

    Ardonis point of view.I slam him down, not hard enough to break him, just enough to make my point. He gasps, scrambling away.“Back off!” another guard shouts. Trying to reach for a weapon. Which won’t probably do him any good.More of them move in. I can feel my heart pounding, my body ready to attack. But the sickness is clawing at me, and the serum is struggling to keep me steady. I don’t want this. I don’t want to hurt anyone.But I won’t be harmed.I take a step back, fangs aching beneath my gums, vision sharpening despite the weakness. I brace myself—“Enough!”Her voice slices through everything.Nyra.She storms toward us, fury in every step. The guards freeze instantly.“I said enough.”They back away at once. One of them mutters an apology. Another looks at me with fear like I’m something dangerous they narrowly escaped.

  • Pregnant with the Billionaire Vampire Heir   Vivid Dreams

    Ardonis point of view.I’m five again.The sun is warm, too warm to be real, and I’m laughing so hard my chest hurts. My father spins me in a wide circle, my little feet lifting off the grass. My mother claps, her laughter light, musical. She smells like flowers and soap. Everything smells alive.“Careful,” she says, smiling. “You’ll make him dizzy.”“I’m not dizzy!” I shout, breathless, happy. My hands are sticky with honey cakes. My father wipes them on his trousers and pretends to scowl. I laugh even harder.We’re human. I know it without thinking. There’s no hunger in my chest. No noise in my head, no heightened vision. Just us existing naturally.Then my father sets me down.“I’ll be right back,” he says. “Stay where I can see you.”I nod. I always nod.They turn away for just a moment. Just a breath.And when I look up again, they’re gone.The laughter drains from the air. The field stretches wider, emptier. Then suddenly, the sun dims like someone turned it down.“Mommy?” I cal
