ELENA'S POV

Esmeralda had the coven raising stone before the sun finished rising.

Not figuratively. I stood at the cottage door and watched slabs of granite lift out of the hillside on their own, moving in slow deliberate arcs to ring the sanctuary's outer boundary, stacking themselves into a second wall behind the first like something out of a memory older than any of us.

"Will it hold?" I asked when Esmeralda passed close enough to hear me.

  • Pregnant for the ruthless billionaire vampire   CHAPTER 90— EPILOGUE: LEGACY

    ELENA'S POVTen years.I stood at the window of the great room and watched the cars come up the long drive one after another, and I let myself feel the specific weight of that number the way I rarely let myself feel anything else, fully, without flinching from any part of it.The Aion estate looked nothing like it had the first time I walked through its doors.It had been marble and silence then. Cold in every sense that mattered, a place built to remind anyone who entered it exactly how small they were meant to feel inside it. Now the halls held the permanent low hum of a house that was lived in by people who loved each other loudly. Toys in the corners that nobody bothered picking up between visits. A crayon drawing taped crooked to the wall near the east staircase that nobody had taken down in three years because removing it felt like removing something that mattered.I was in my late thirties in appearance and would stay there for centuries. I had made my peace with that a long ti

  • Pregnant for the ruthless billionaire vampire   CHAPTER 89

    ELENA'S POVThe champion's name was Brennan.He was forty-three years trained, which the eldest announced before the trial began in the specific tone of someone establishing context rather than intimidating, though the effect was the same. He was tall, broadly built, with the particular settled quality of someone who had spent decades becoming very good at one specific thing and knew it.He looked at Jayden the way the coven had looked at Jayden since the beginning, with the expectation of a conclusion already reached.Jayden looked at Brennan the way he looked at everything he was trying to understand before committing to a position. Careful. Quiet. Piecing the picture together.We stood at the boundary of the field that Esmeralda's coven had prepared, or the same eastern field where Jayden had been training for years, now marked with coven boundary stones that carried active frequency within them, the kind that would make any null-field use visible and measurable.Lucian was beside

  • Pregnant for the ruthless billionaire vampire   CHAPTER 88

    ELENA'S POVThe bond made itself known over three days. Not dramatically. Not in the way Aurora's bond with James had announced itself, quietly, through the specific attention two people paid to each other when they had decided something without saying it out loud. Jayden and Celeste's bond announced itself through noise.Specifically, through the argument I could hear from the second floor of our house while I was trying to read a briefing document."You moved my research notes.""I didn't touch your research notes.""They were on the kitchen table and now they're not.""Maybe you moved them yourself and forgot.""I don't forget things.""Everyone forgets things.""Not me.""That's the most arrogant thing I've heard today.""It's seven in the morning. Give it time."I set down the briefing document.Lucian appeared in the doorway of the study with coffee in one hand and the expression of a man who had been listening to the same argument in various forms for three days and had arrived

  • Pregnant for the ruthless billionaire vampire   CHAPTER 87

    ELENA'S POVFive years passed between the witch coven's first visit and their second.Five years saw James studying Jayden's null-field with the focused patience of someone who understood that the most significant discoveries didn't arrive on demand. Jayden learned to control the field, imperfectly, inconsistently, but with improving precision, under Aurora's guidance and through his own stubborn daily practice. Meanwhile, the supernatural world adjusted to the fact that the Nightshade heir's human son was apparently something the ancient texts had been expecting all along.Jayden turned fifteen on a Tuesday.He was taller than Lucian now, which Lucian had received with the particular expression of a man who found the development both expected and mildly offensive. He had Lucian's precise economy of movement and my tendency to say exactly what he meant at inconvenient moments and something of his own that had been emerging more clearly every year, a dry wit, a deep patience with compl

  • Pregnant for the ruthless billionaire vampire   CHAPTER 86

    ELENA'S POVJames had a name for it by the following morning.He'd spent the night in his research space at the facility, pulling every reference he had on null-fields, power negation, and the theoretical frameworks that had existed in supernatural genetics literature for decades without a confirmed biological example to test them against.He came to the house at seven in the morning with the particular energy of someone who had not slept and did not care."Null-magic," he said, setting his laptop on the kitchen table and turning it toward us. "Scholars have theorized it since the sixteen hundreds.” Ancient witch texts reference it as the Silencing, a biological condition in which a human carrier generates a field that disrupts supernatural frequency." He looked at Jayden. "The field remains passive when the carrier is calm. It activates and expands under emotional stress."Jayden was sitting across the table with a glass of orange juice in his hand and an expression that was trying v

  • Pregnant for the ruthless billionaire vampire   CHAPTER 85

    ELENA'S POVJayden didn't tell us about the second incident. We found out from James.He'd been picking Jayden up from school on Tuesdays, It had become their thing. Research on the drive home. Questions about science. Questions about the world. Questions Jayden never seemed comfortable asking anyone else.James had said yes. Jayden had simply nodded and said, "Oh. That's interesting." The Tuesday pickups had existed ever since without either of them ever admitting that Jayden had planned it that way from the beginning.James called me on a Wednesday."He's alright," he said first. Always first. He had learned that when you called the mother of a child who had already been beaten up once, you led with that."What happened?" I said."The same boys from last year. They brought two others with them this time.” A pause. "He didn't fight back this time. He just, stood there and let it happen."I was already halfway to the door before he'd finished speaking."Elena." James's voice stopped m

  • Pregnant for the ruthless billionaire vampire   Chapter 3

    ELENA'S POVI ran faster than I'd ever run in my life.My bag slammed against my side with every step. Rain poured down, soaking through my thin coat, making the streets slippery beneath my feet.Behind me, I heard laughter. Cold, cruel laughter."Run, little Nightshade! Run!"I didn't look back. I

    ELENA'S POVI couldn't breathe.The words kept echoing in my head, over and over again."I'm pregnant with his child."My vision blurred. The room spun. I gripped the edge of the doorframe to keep from collapsing right there in front of all those ancient, powerful vampires.Lucian was going to be a

    ELENA'S POVMy hands wouldn't stop shaking.I stared down at the crystal glass in my trembling fingers, watching the thick red liquid swirl inside it. Blood. Fresh blood. Still warm."What are you waiting for, human? Pour it already before it gets cold. You know I hate cold blood."Lucian Aion’'s v

    ELENA'S POV"Viviana! Viviana, wake up!"I shook her, panic rising in my chest. Her skin was burning hotter, her breathing shallow and rapid.This couldn't be happening. This couldn't be real.She was supposed to be my enemy. The woman who stole Lucian from me. The woman who humiliated me in front
