“I have the power to evoke feelings.” I furrow my brow in confusion.

“What does that mean?” Creed asks.

“It means I can control the way someone feels, I cannot create love, but I can manipulate it. I feel what someone is feeling and use it against them, like Davina.”

“Holy shit.” I turn to peer over at Creed. “You made Davina fall for you so you could get closer to her, didn’t you?” Vince nods.

“She already had feelings for me, I just enhanced them for my gain.” In a sick twisted sort of way, that is pretty cool, not if you’re the one having it done to you though.

“Your visions can be led––.” I cut Alexander off again.

“I’m not just having visions.” I feel my brothers and Cairo’s eyes burning holes into my head but ignore them. I may be pissed at Alexander but if this is my only chance to get details and help with my visions, I’ll take it.

“Elaborate, please?”

“I get feelings now, like in the pit of my stomach and sometimes I am able to… I guess rewind time and see what someone saw. The penalty for that causes me pain, and with the ticking time bomb hanging over my head with these visions I don’t like to do it."

“What do you meantime bomb?” I release a long exhale before answering Alexander, Vince drops down beside him and focuses on me.

“My visions are killing me.” The three guys around me tense, I can almost taste Creed’s shock at my admission. Vince and Alexander share a loaded look before turning back to me.

“Explain what happens––please?” Comes from Vince, I tell them about the headaches and the blood noses and how sometimes I cry tears of blood when I’m in the trance like state.

“Hmmm.”

“What does,hmmmmean?” I snap at Alexander; a sad smile graces his face as he answers.

“You my dear, are very powerful, but you are in a human body.” I take offense to that and glare at him, Cairo and my brother’s growl. “I mean no offense.” I cross my arms over my chest and slouch back into the couch.

“What are you trying to say?” Alexander moves his gaze over my head to look at Cairo.

“What I mean Cairo, is that she is neither wolf nor vampire, so she is in a fragile body with supernatural gifts. Being a shifter means you age slower but do eventually die, being a vampire means you are immortal, Belle is neither of those. She will age, she will die––.” Four growls sound out, and it warms my heart.

“She isn’t going anywhere!” Cass grits out.

“Damn fucking right.”

“You can say that again.” Hunter and Cairo say in unison. Alexander’s gaze moves back to me and this time a grave look enters his eyes which has me tensing in my seat.

“You have a choice Gabrielle, evoke your shifter side, lose your gifts and have no visions, or, activate your vampire side, live forever and keep your gifts.” I don’t even have to think about it.

“How do I become a wolf?” A flicker or regret passes his gaze and I snicker, did he really think I would want to be a vampire because of him?

“Nature always has a balance my dear, a price––.”

“I don’t care, I hate these visions and want them gone no matter the cost––.”

“Even if the cost is your child’s life?” Cairo growls, Hunter and Cass still beside me, I stare wide eyed at him. “Becoming a shifter requires you to shift, the first shift is the worst as I’m sure these four can confirm for you. The toll it would take on your body would cause a miscarriage.” Tears prick my eyes.

“I’ll do it after the baby is born.” I relay stubbornly, he smiles sadly and shakes his head.

“You weren’t supposed to have fallen pregnant this early, I thought I had more time.”

“The fuck does that mean?” Cairo shouts causing me to flinch at the anger in his tone.

“It means you should have kept your dick in your pants and stayed the fuck away from my daughter like I told you to.” I recoil, Alexander is on his feet and vibrating with rage, Cairo moves from behind us to face off against him. Vince and Creed are on their feet pushing their way between the two men to stop the confrontation. “I warned you there would be a price, I never wanted this for her!”

“You didn’t even fucking want her!” I wince, Cairo’s words sting more than I want to admit. Alexander hisses, his eyes turning almost black.
