against his body. She waited for
him to answer, and when he didn’t, she looked up at him.
“I was trying to think of a word to describe
how incredible it felt. How much I enjoyed tasting your blood in my
mouth.” He looked down at her. “All I can come up with is fucking
wow.”
She laughed and hugged him before stepping
back. They finished dressing, and as they were leaving the house,
he pulled out his phone, called her dad, and asked him to make an
offer on the house. He laughed and told him he would have to think
on it.
When they got into the car, Logan turned to
her. “Your dad asked me if I’d pledge to him. I told him I’d think
about it. I honestly didn’t say yes because I have no clue what it
means.”
“A Pledge of Alliance. It means that he’ll
be your master in all things and you’ll pay him a percentage of
what you make. Being my mate now, you won’t have to pay him
anything, but the other is true. You won’t be able to buy or sell
without his permission, taking a mate if you don’t already have one
must be cleared through him, as well as any investments. In return,
he’ll protect you.”
“I thought that’s what you did?”
She smiled at his joke and told him the
rest. Her dad was one ass-kicking vamp. “Dad has more magic and
more power than vamps twice his age. He can summon an army with a
single thought and he can destroy with a flick of his finger. And I
mean destroy whole cities. He would never do that, but he is
powerful. My mom is a cousin to the queen, as you know, but she has
magic within her that is scary. If I had to go to war, I would want
them on my side. If they were the enemy I was against, I’d
surrender. Because, as giving and loving as they are, they are
ruthless when it comes to justice and fairness to others. And they
will kill for what they consider theirs.”
“And Mathew and me? How do we fit in the
family? I know your dad gets a kick out of Mathew calling him
Grandda, but what about when Mac’s baby is born. Then what?”
“Nothing will change. I think my dad has
been looking forward to someone calling him Grandda more than he’d
been looking forward to being called Dad. He is more alive than
I’ve ever seen him.”
Her cell was ringing as they pulled in front
of the house. She answered it with a smile, wondering what Mac had
done to piss off Andi. She answered the phone, asking him what he’d
done now.
“It’s time. The baby is…Christ, she hurts so
much, and I just want to kill someone. Come here now so I don’t try
to hurt him again.”
She laughed and told Logan to wait.
“I’m serious, Lizzy. Thomas said if I touch
him again, he’s going to stop helping bring him into the world and
leave him there. Andi said if he did, I’d never touch her
again.”
“We’re coming now. Have you called Mom and
Dad? And can we bring Mathew?”
“Yes, I called him. All Dad did was laugh at
me. I told him to stay home and I called you.” Lizzy laughed again.
“If that’s all you’re going to do, then you stay home too.”
Putting her phone in her pocket after Mac
hung up on her, she told Logan what was going on. Her parents and
Mathew were racing out of the house as they were reaching for the
door. Duncan was close behind them.
“A baby. They’re gonna have a baby and we’ll
get to be the first people in the world to see it.” Mathew’s
excitement was contagious and she laughed too. Fifteen minutes
later, they were pulling into Mac’s driveway.
Chapter 9
Sara looked around the room. There were more
beings here than she’d seen at the castle in months. She smiled
when she thought about why they were here. Mac, their little boy,
was having a baby. She glanced up at Aaron when he paced by her
again.
“If you don’t sit down, I’m going to stake
you.” He snorted but didn’t stop. “I mean it, Aaron, you’re making
the very nice people here very nervous. Sit down.”
“Why is it taking so long? I mean, you only
