"I...I want you to be my Old Lady. I want to make you all mine, My ride or die, baby."

"Do you? Because I come with baggage, Vamp. I have two children from a monster. I have demons and so much more to come."

Vamp leans up, gazing down at me, "Children are not baggage, Lenna. They are an added bonus. I will love them as my own, just as I love you."

"Why me? I see the other girls here..."

"It's not about looks, baby girl. You make me question everything. You make me want to be a better man. I want to do it all with you by my side. You are the most gorgeous woman I've ever met. Ever. Do you understand that?"

I nod, "You...you make me feel things too. Things I never thought was possible. It just doesn't feel real and...well that scares me."

"I promise you, I will always provide for you and those babies. Lenna...I've never felt this way about a woman. Fucking ever."

"Never?"

He chuckles as he leans down to kiss me, "Never, baby. And Pres isn't even that mad that I broke the rules."

"Oh no! What will happen now? Georgia Rose told me that I shouldn't say a word."

Vamp shrugs, "It's fine. everybody knows and once this is all over I plan to claim you as my Old Lady to the whole goddamn club."

"Once this is over."

"It will be okay. We'll all have your back, baby. Mace is gonna go as far as he can with you. We have it all planned out."

I lay my head on Vamp's chest, letting some tears escape.

"What if we can't save them? What then?"

Vamp kisses the top of my head, "We will save them. I promise that no matter what, I will save your babies, Lenna."

I sit up, gazing down at him, "Promise me. Promise me that no matter what, you will save them. Even if that means leaving me behind."

"Lenna..."

"Promise me, Colson. If you love me, do this for me. My babies are my world. If I..." tears start to roll down my cheeks, "If I can't be with them, then I want you to take care of them. I know they'll be safe with you."

Vamp crushes his lips to mine, "You are not going to die, baby."

"You can't promise that. The Prophet...he's an evil man."

"And I will fucking end him. I will make him suffer for everything he's done to you and your family, Lenna. That's a fucking promise I can keep."

I nod, "Please promise you'll take care of my babies if something happens."

Vamp's eyes gaze over my face before he pulls me down for another kiss.

"You and those babies are mine to protect now, Lenna. I will do whatever it takes to keep them, and you, safe."

I lay back down as more tears fall. Vamp holds me tight as we both fall asleep, ready for whatever may come tomorrow.

Chapter nine

Vamp

Asdawnloomsoverthe horizon, I quietly get out of bed before Lenna wakes. Today is the day we get her babies back. While this should be a normal rescue, there's so much more on the line. I've made a promise to protect not only Lenna, but two small children. Three people who complete my life; two of them who I've never even met.

Lenna stirs in the bed, slowly opening her eyes as she looks up, smiling at me.
