“I amnotweak, you idiot! Get your facts straight.” Her gun popped off, her bullet hitting Jenny in the arm, who jerked at the impact.

“You cunt! Did that baby take all your brain cells or can you not shoot straight? I won’t die from a shot to the arm,” Jenny taunted, but Rayla only smiled.

“You're right. You won't.” Rayla leaned against the doorway. “But the magic bullet that is now traveling around in your body is going to find its target and explode.” She chuckled. “I’ll give you one guess as to what that target is.”

Jenny’s eyes widened, her mouth opening just as her chest exploded, chunks flying everywhere around the room. I movedmy body infront of Rayla, keeping her clean from all the mess as she doubled over and laughed. “Too late!”

The others burst into action, two of them charging at me to get to the door, which I quickly shadowed behind one, stabbing them in the heart with my blade as I grabbed the collar of the other, shoving the dead and alive bodies together on the floor.

One of the vampires was trying to be smart, trying to escape through the ceiling tiles, but just as their feet kicked up, I grabbed their ankles and yanked them back down, crashing them into the other vampire that was trying to get up.

“Get 'em, my sexy stalker! Show them who the Devil’s are!” My veins surged at my mates' praise, and I went for the chest of the vampire closest to me. Grabbing a hold of their squishy, slimy organ, I ripped it out and threw it on the floor, the vampire dropping instantly.

Just then, I heard a shot, turned around just in time to see the other vampire get sliced in half long ways, effectively getting the heart in the process, as the body pieces dropped to the side. I glared over my shoulder at Rayla, whose tongue was in her cheek.

“Oops. I didn't mean to use the magic circle like that.” Then her eyes widened and her hand flew to her stomach. “Oh! Oh, my god.”

Oh, no. What happened? What did I do? My whole being in a tizzy, thinking horrible thoughts as I rushed towards her. “What's wrong? Is it the baby? Did I hurt it?”

Rayla looked up at me, a smile splashed across her face as she shook her head vigorously. “No. No, Lex. Everything is okay.” My body sagged, but my heart was still thumping like a jack rabbit. “The baby kicked. I could feel it. It was like a flutter in my stomach.”

“What?!” My hands reached for her belly before she finished her sentence, feeling on her stomach, wanting to experience what she was experiencing.

She laughed. “The doctor said I would start feeling the baby moving more, but I didn't know it would feel like this.”

I knelt before her, putting my cheek to her tummy. “I can't feel anything!” The panic I felt from before bled out of my voice now.

“No, silly. It's just the beginning movements. Only able to be felt internally. We still have a few weeks to go before you guys can feel the kicks on the outside.” I looked up at her, my lip out as I pouted, and she ran her fingers through my hair.

This was one of those perfect moments when she looked down at me with so much love, so much happiness that I wanted to magic us in this moment and stay this way forever, but of course, someone had to ruin it.

“Don’t fucking move, or I’ll slit her throat.”

I was to caught up in our little bubble that I forgot about the fifth vampire, and now, that fucker had a knife to my mate’s throat. Fuck!

Anger, hate, frustration, and pain surged from me, the ink that swirled around my arms moved off me and slithered onto this vampire, going up his nose, sinking into his skin as the inky poison went straight to his heart. His eyes bugged out as the veins around his face went black, and he gasped out his last breath. The knife fell to the floor as the body fell backwards.

Rayla was still looking at me lovingly, full of trust that I would take care of her. That was the best feeling in the world. That and having her cum all over my tongue and cock. That was also amazing. Oh! And my blood staining her lips, can't forget that.

Her eyes flew open, and she exclaimed, “It happened again!” She looked at the room full of dead vampires and behind her at the body of the last one. “I think the baby likes the violence.”

I kissed her belly as I cooed, rubbing my cheek against her, hoping the baby felt their papa. “Of course, they do. It's our kid.”

Chapter 5

“You are absolutely glowing,my sunshine.” Ternin looped his free arm into Rayla's as the three of us walked out of The Parlor, our favorite ice cream shop.

Ray scrunched up her face, her spoon was in her mouth, and it made her look just like she had when we were kids. My heart fluttered the same way it did all those years ago, the only difference was I didn't have to hide it, didn't have to feel shame. I could love her openly and to my heart's content.

“That's sweet, Dad, but I feel like a whale, bumping into everything,” she huffed, just getting started. “I’m always tired because this baby keeps me upjustwhen I start to fall asleep, certain smells still make me puke, and this kid acts like bloodjust comes out of faucets.” She leaned over and whispered to Ternin, “I'm starting to feel bad for the guys, like, I'm draining them dry even though we keep a rotation, and they still won’t let me drink others' blood.”

“You know I can hear you,” I grumbled before I took another bite of my double strawberry ice cream cone. I needed the sugar bump since I just fed Ray. She wasn't wrong when she said this baby required a lot from all of us already.

Ternin patted her arm and gave me a sympathetic glance. “It's all part of the process. You didn't think that making another supe was going to be easy, now, did you? Plus, it's not like you’ll kill the boys. They're fine. Don’t worry aboutthem.”

Rolling my eyes, I steered them toward the car. Ternin will always be Ternin. Rayla first, the rest of the world second, and I was sure once this baby came, it would be first, which I think gave me solace. Having the most powerful beings in each species as their grandfathers was a great start at being protected.

That was all I thought about these days . . . how to protect the baby and Rayla.
