|Ash's point of view.Although I'm excited for Anna and this pregnancy, I'm not enjoying seeing her go through this.; she looks terrible; if I thought she looked pale when she was a vampire, it's nothing compared to how she looks now.I managed to get an early appointment at the local doctors, and even though the doctor assures us that everything is okay and Anna and the baby are both fine.I'm still worried…….Hearing the heartbeat and seeing our little dot eases my worries a little; it's a relief to know that the baby is thriving, but I can see that Anna isn't, and I'm sure it isn't normal to be this ill, I know that women get morning sickness, and some have it worse than others, but with Anna, it's just constant, she can't keep anything down, but it's not only the morning sickness. It's everything, she looks exhausted, and it's breaking my heart to see her so ill.She tried so hard to pretend that everything is fine, I just want to make this okay for her, but I don't know how. She'

Ash's point of viewI carry my girl through the doors of the hospital before sitting her down in one of the chairs in the waiting room, kissing the top of her head as I say."I'm just going to go and sign you in, baby."She leans her head back against the chair as she nods her head.I head over to the desk where I give her name and a brief description of what's been going on with her, minus the Vampire part; of course, if they need to know, I will speak to a doctor, not a receptionist.When a bed is found in a maternity ward, I find a wheelchair and help her to sit down before we follow the nurse down a long corridor.The nurse on the ward checks her in before she shows us to a room; she places a hospital gown on the empty bed as she says."If you want to get changed into a gown, one of the doctors will be here to see you soon."She closes the door before leaving the room, and I help Anna out of the wheelchair; she is so weak that she doesn't even try to stand up as I lift her out of

Ash’s point of view.I hold her in my arms as we make the journey back to Eden Forest, once again praying that the high Witch can save Anna’s life. I think back to our last visit and how the Witches sacrificed The Vampire King’s life to reverse the Vampire curse.I will give my life for this woman if I have to; I will sacrifice myself for my woman and child, The child that Anna has so desperately longed for, for so many years, I will do whatever it takes to keep them both alive.The journey seems to take forever, even though it's barely a couple of hours. I spent the trip looking at her pale face and my thumb placed on her wrist so that I could keep checking her pulse.I've never been so frightened in all of my life. If I thought the last journey we made to the forest was terrible, it's nothing compared to this one, at least the last time she was conscious and talking.This is terrifying….We finally pull over at the boundary of the forest, Bear opens the door for me, and I climb out

Ash's point of view.Bear pulls me away, and we walk towards the door; turning around one last time as I take a look at my sleeping beauty. It goes against all my instinct to leave her behind, and It takes all my strength to walk away from her. But I have to to save her and our unborn child.I feel as though my heart is being pulled apart; I've only just found her, and now here I am, about to leave her behind.It's the hardest thing that I've ever had to do…..I take a deep breath when we get outside. Bear puts his arms around me as he says."You can do this, lad; just think of that sweet woman of yours and that precious child that she carries; this is not forever Son."I sigh, nodding my head as I reply. "I know it's just so fucking hard."Bear looks down at me as he says."I know, Son, but we have to find that Gem and save them both; come on, let's get back to the jeep so that we can make our way to the bunker. Darius and his pack will protect them; it's the safest place for them he

Ash’s point of viewFuck! Where do I start…I clear my throat before I say. “I know I've told you that we need to find this dragon heart stone, but there's a bit more to it than just that.”Dylan nods his head. “Yeah, I know, we need to find the stone so that we can save Anna and the baby"I put my hand on his shoulder as I say. “Yeah, but the reason we need to get that stone is because Anna is carrying a Dragon Shifter heir, and for her to be able to continue her pregnancy safely, then we need the blessing of the stone.”Dylan's chin drops to the floor, and he goes to speak, but no words come out; I chuckle as I say.“Yeah, I know it's kind of crazy. I met the Moon Goddess today, and I found out that I am a Dragon Shifter.”“A What?” Dylan asks as Bear mumbles. “A Royal Dragon shifter.”I Laugh. “Yeah, A Royal Dragon Shifter, and today I also found out that my parents gave me away when I was born to keep me safe as the Kingdom of the Dragons was under threat from the Underworld. I wa
