All Chapters of Pregnant with the Billionaire Vampire Heir: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Xaviers point of view.The helicopter ride to Nyra’s private island was a hassle. I didn’t know what was worse. The awkward seating arrangement, or the deafening sound of the blades. I sat next to Nyra, while Ardonis sat opposite us starring daggers at me, his eyes flickering between me and my hands placed near Nyra’s thigh.Kelly sat near the door, looking like she was fascinated by the view, though I noticed the little smirk ghosting her lips.Nyra had told me that she had confronted him on the missing sample, but he flatly denied it and was even upset when he learned about the plan to move to a new location. We finally touched down on the island; with its dense greenery and the ocean roaring around us, the hidden research compound slightly jutting out from the bushes. Hidden in plain sight.Nyra, unbuckled first, eager to escape the tension. “This place hasn’t changed since we we’re last here.” She spoke.“Yeah, those were crazy times,” I responded.“Crazy times? You say that like

Nyra’s point of view.Ardonis has been unconscious for hours.The sedatives Xavier shot him with were still thick in his system and his body laid slack against the reinforced bed we moved him to.We used better restraints this time. The metal cuffs locked his wrists and ankles there was no way he could harm anyone again. I take a moment look at him. His long lashes framed his cheeks perfectly and his high cheekbones had a little pink blush to it. Like this, He looked so peaceful.Almost human.I sat beside him, gently cleaning the dried blood from his arm and proceeded to inject the antidote to his IV line. His breathing steadied immediately. He should be himself again in a few hours.I don’t know when I say out loud; “He didn’t mean to lose control,” I murmured, under my breath. He didn’t choose this.”I hear a sharp scoff cut through my words.Xavier stood in the doorway; his arm wrapped in a sling and his jaw tight.“I know you Nyra, don’t start feeling sorry for him now.”I look u

Xaviers point of view.“That was crazy,” I said to Nyra as we exit the bedroom, leaving Kelly to rest.“Yeah, I feel bad for Kells. She worked so hard today only for her to get injured for a stupid reason.”“Hey—hey look, I know you, don’t go blaming yourself for this, it was a freak accident. We’ll just try to be more careful from now on to prevent this from happening again.”“Okay—fineahhh” she said rolling her eyes in that cute way I loved.I walked her to the door of my bedroom I offered her to sleep in.“Are you really going to sleep in the living room? You know there’s enough space for both of us in the bedroom.”“I don’t mind really its fine.” I answered“Xavier?” her tone made me look up.“I offered Kelly the room to make her feel comfortable.” She continued. “That doesn’t mean you have to suffer out there in the cold.”“Nyra, it’s just a couch,”“Well, it’s a terrible couch. She countered, “Come with me.”I stood before her, looking deep into her eyes and realized too late an

Nyra’s point of viewI don’t sleep.The lab lights stay on while the island outside sinks into steady darkness. The screen of the monitors glow, numbers scroll on them, and time stops meaning anything.I keep replaying the footage from the failed blood draw.Again, and again.I watched with intense concentration. Ardonis restrained. Heart rate spiking. His pupils blown wide. The moment before he lost control.I paused the video.“What is this?” I murmured. Zooming in on the image.I pull up the biometric overlay. Neural activity, emotional stress indicators, cortisol spikes. All aggression markers.I dragged the timeline back.Before the needle,Before the blood.His body was already breaking down. Then it hits me.“It’s not the blood,” I said softly. “It’s the brain.”I opened case files. Old ones. Failed ones from my father’s research. Records of vampires who lost control before death. Seizures. Rage episodes, memory lapses.A pattern forms.The disease doesn’t just poison them. It

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
