LeilaThe elevator doors opened, and I stepped in, glad I had come with Lance to the hospital, after all. It had been a while since I visited Amy, and I was in the mood for a good gabfest.Within minutes, I knocked on the door of her lab.“Come in!” Amy yelled from the other side.When I walked in, she was already hard at work on a new project, wearing a lab coat and safety goggles, and she had something boiling on the Bunsen burner. She took it off with a pair of tongs, and the liquid glowed bright blue. She was making more of the Sunlight Serum that prevented the radioactive poisoning that caused vampires to burst into flames in the sun. Since I had perfected it, vampires could now walk in the sun.A huge smile swept across her face when she saw me, and she took off her safety goggles. “Leila! I’m so glad you’re here! I was just making some more—”“Sunlight Serum,” I finished, smiling. “It’s good to see you, too.” I pulled her in for a quick hug when she was ready. “How have you bee

Leila“Well, Amy,” I said, taking off my lab coat. “I hate to do this, but Lance is probably waiting for me downstairs.”“Leila, I’m so glad you came today.” She pulled me in for a huge hug. “If you ever want to get out of the castle, give me a call.” A sly smile spread across her lips. “And it doesn’t have to be just work. Let’s do lunch sometime!”I laughed as I sanitized my goggles and put them away. “I’ll take you up on that. Lance and I are going to Maggiano’s Little Italy when we leave here.” I shrugged. “Maybe we can go there for lunch, too.”Amy chuckled. “I’m going to hold you to that! They have the best Italian food in Las Vegas.”“Yes, they do.” I pulled her in for another hug. “Amy, don’t be a stranger. And think about what I said about moving back into the castle.”She nodded, smiling. “I will.”After saying my last goodbyes, I headed out the door and down the stairs, wanting to get downstairs as quickly as possible. Then I froze... for coming up the stairs was none other

Lance“Lance, what’s going on?” Drake ran after me as I ran up the entire length of the stairs at full speed.“Raif was here and attacked Leila!”Once the stairwell was clear, I started at the top floor and quickly combed every room, trying not to move quicker than human speed. The last thing I wanted was to attract the attention of the humans, which could cause a war between the vampires and the humans.“He attacked her?” Drake quickly opened an office door, looked inside, and closed it.“He grabbed her and made a pass at her.” My blood boiled at the thought as I quickly checked another room, closed the door, and then moved on to the next.“You’re kidding!” Drake, check another room.“I wish I were.” After we had checked all the rooms on that floor, we moved to the next. “She hid from him to get away.” Rage filled my chest just thinking about it. After we finished checking the rest of the floor, we moved to the next. “Drake, it’s no use. He’s long gone by now. I’m going to his coven.

Lance“I’ll prepare the warriors.” Kellen let out a deep breath, his eyes filled with concern.“No.” My head snapped up just as the elevator doors opened. “Drake is coming with me. We’re going alone, just Drake and me. I want you to stay here and secure the castle.” I looked into his eyes. “Place extra guards on our floor and outside the penthouse. I want Leila kept safe. And if anything happens to her, I’ll have your head.”He scoffed. “Lance, I know you’re angry, but don’t threaten me.” Kellen held his hands up in surrender. “I’m on your side. Remember? We’ve been through too much for you to level such threats at me. You know I’ll protect her with my life. That goes without saying.”I let out a deep breath, shaking my head. “Sorry, Kellen. You’re right. Wait here for me. I’ll only be a minute.”Kellen nodded, giving my arm a gentle squeeze. “Don’t worry, Lance. It’s going to be okay.”I nodded once and then escorted Leila inside. “Wait here.” I did a quick sweep of the penthouse, ch

Leila“Oh, thank God you’re safe!” I wrapped my arms around Lance and pulled him to me as soon as he walked through the door. “How did it go?” I handed him a glass of blood that I had just fixed.He downed the glass in one shot. “He wasn’t there. Selestra said he was going to New York.”“Without her?” I scoffed as I poured some wine into his empty glass. “Either she’s a liar, or he lied to her.”He shrugged, taking a sip of his wine. “Either is possible. But either way, I suspect they know the children are in New York.”“Oh my God!” I shook my head, trying to make sense of everything. “While you were away, I spoke to Raven, and she said the kids are fine. Also, she said that the prophecy has begun.”“What about it?” Lance downed more his wine and then refilled both of our glasses.“She said that many people will come for the children,” she replied. “She also foretold that we would find help in an unlikely source.”Lance nodded, walking over to the window. He stared out at the neatly l

Leila“Thanks for telling me,” she replied, “but the children are fine. We have the coven on lockdown until the crisis is averted.”I smiled into the phone. “Thank goodness.”Lance motioned for the phone.“Listen, Raven, Lance wants to speak with you.”There was a slight pause before she replied, “Put him on.”I handed him the phone. “Hello, Raven.”“Hello, Lance. Is everything alright?” she asked on the other end. With my vampire hearing, I could easily hear her responses on the other end. It made me realize how much I had missed out on as a human.“Yes, everything’s fine. I just wanted you to know that Leila and I are on our way to see the kids. After what happened today, we’ll feel much better seeing them ourselves.” He looked at me and smiled.“It couldn’t be that you both were missing them, could it?” Raven teased, knowing full well that it was.Lance chuckled. Just then, John appeared in the doorway of the plane. “Well, Raven, we have to go. We’ll see you tonight or tomorrow mor

LeilaWhen we landed, a limousine was waiting for us on the tarmac. We headed down the stairs, and John and Lance placed our luggage in the trunk. John and Margarite stayed on the plane.“John, I’ve made arrangements for you and Margarite at The Plaza Hotel with us,” Lance said, smiling as he held the door open to the limo for me. “I’ll send the limo back for you.”“Thank you, sir.” A smile lit his lips. “When you need us, just let us know. I’ll have the plane fueled and ready to go.”“Sounds good. Thank you, John.” Lance slid into the limo beside me, and soon we were on our way.I looked out the window and watched as the sights and sounds of New York passed by. “It’s good to be back. I’ve missed New York.”Lance kissed my temple. “I have, too. We need to start coming here every weekend.”My head snapped up. “That would be great. I just hope the kids don’t think we’re intruding too much.”Lance shrugged. “I’m sure they’ll be fine.” He tilted his head to the side to look at me. “Why do

Leila“Good!” she replied, a smile in her voice. “The children are eager to see you.”“We can’t wait to see them, either.” I smiled into the phone. “Raven, you’re welcome to join us for dinner, if you like.”“It’s okay. I’ll let you have some family time.”“Well, Lance and I also wanted to speak with you about the weekends.” I let out a deep breath. “We discussed it, and we’re going to buy a house here. Then we can come up on the weekends, and the kids can stay with us, like their home away from home.”“That would be wonderful,” she replied, “but they may want to stay for a football or a soccer game or something of the like.”“Well, Lance and I can take them if they have a game or a function.” I smiled. “I’d like that.”“Good!” she replied. “Let’s talk about it when you get here.”“We’ll see you then.” After saying our goodbyes, I cut off the call.“Ready?”When I turned around, Lance was adjusting his cufflinks, dressed in a dark gray suit and a medium blue shirt that matched my dres
