…Anastasia POV…There is a burning inside of me that I can no longer fight. It feels as if my body is going to be ripped open any second. The turmoil I feel inside of me is beyond anything I have ever felt. Yes, this indeed not the way any pregnancy should feel like; well, that is what I guess.Now, I have not been present in my own body for far too long now. Lucius has taken over and has been keeping me suppressed no matter how hard I have been fighting. The whole sick thing of this is that I can feel his every thought and emotion. And god! The things that he has planned the moment that he rips himself out of my body are beyond what I ever can imagine.I would like to believe that Sebastian will make his elegant appearance before that even happens. But we all know that in order to kill Lucius then, they will have to kill me. I cannot see how I will survive childbirth with a, well, let us call him a baby for now, but I will not survive with the rat

It does make me furious that my beloved has been right in our own home this entire time. Now I cannot blame the boys for it, but the fact that Elloise shall be so bold just shows her nasty ways of playing one for a fool. I shall get very much pleasure from bringing her down. But before her, there shall be Lucius.Now how big Lucius will be is rather debatable, but we will assume that he will be like any other nine-month baby. So I shall be faced with the vision of a child in front of me when I need to decide if I kill the evil. Which does trouble me some bit.As for the demons that are most definitely roaming my house, well, we have the rest of us bunch that shall make good of it. But, what is troubling, is the skies and, do I even dare to say, the sidewalks as we drive by.It seems that people with viable vessels have been taken over. Now I have no idea how these things will be taken, or removed, or what you call it, but how will they leave these humans that th

It is with a heavy heart that we make our way through the tunnel; as we go along, we slay whatever we find in our path. The sole purpose now is to get to Anastasia. The thoughts of leaving Breyden behind are sitting deep in our throats and are rather hard to swallow at the moment.Then out of nowhere, I hear the shrill screams of Lilith echo down the tunnel. I immediately rush over to her side. The first thing that enters my mind is that she must have been overpowered by a demon.But as I come closer, I see the very thing that she has been expressing her terror at."My god, Breyden. Where? How? I thought you are dead.""It hurts that you have such little faith in me. My dear Sebastian, you know that I can teleport.""Oh, that is true. Now, I am glad to say that we all are feeling far better now that we have seen you. But it is time to push on."I hear Connor only but chuckle at me and shake his head, "You are surely dumb for someone that is

…Anastasia POV…So we are off to Scotland. To be precise, Edinburgh, where Sebastian was born and also where he was turned. My childhood is very little known, so after much discussing and pulling of straws, Sebastian won, and we will be taking the seven-hour drive to Scotland this morning.We decided against flying to, as Sebastian says, get the experience of a couple on holiday. Now, if Vampires have holidays, that I do not know, but we both need to get out of this godforsaken place. The fact is, no matter where we go, there will still be Vampires, and god forbid, some creatures around. Just as long as we are not hunting them, then I am pretty fine with that.My terrible experience is still very much cemented in my mind, and that is, unfortunately, one that I shall carry with me for an eternity.Sebastian has been very patient and understanding, and I love him for that. I do understand that he, too, is going through his own demons, that he

My beloved has just found out that I have a brother, a real brother, which many years ago we were, in fact, blood brothers. Now, I am his Master and his Maker. Now, if I thought that the little vixen would take this well, it does depends which side you see it from. So I have just told her and Roberto has left us alone, well, I wish that he never did."Anastasia! Aaahhh, god, why did you do that for? You just bit me?""Oh, come on, Sebastian, I know you enjoyed it.""Well, perhaps just a slight bit, for one second there I thought you were going to rip my throat open.""The thought did come to mind, but I think we both do not want me to turn all Ancient again.""That is so considerate of you. Now please tell me that you are not mad?"She looks at me for a brief second; as she starts stepping forward, I start stepping back. The woman is about to leave another gash in my skin. I think she is enjoying the pleasure far greater than me."Seb
