without me, did you?”
    Antonio covered his heart with his hand and shook his head.
“You are my princess,” he answered with a grin. “Ariel and those others are
nothing to me.”
    Lacey gushed for a moment. She really was going to marry him
someday. She then turned her attention to the two strangers standing behind
them all. “Hello. My name is Lacey Smith-Solomon, Crown Princess of the
Vampires. Who, may I ask, are you?”
    Troy smiled at the little girl. Just by the way the men
around her were standing, she had them all eating out of her hand. He bowed at
the waist and gently took her hand. “It is very nice to meet you, Princess. My
name is Troy Davenport. Apparently I’m the heir of the Werewolf Pack here on the
East Coast,” he answered kissing her hand.
    Lacey looked into Troy’s eyes for a
moment. She then smiled. “My cousins have eyes like yours,” she
said conspiratorially. “But they’re puppies. Do you know them?”
    Victor laughed as Dylan and Crispin looked at the little
girl horrified. “Yes my dear. Troy is their father. Please stop calling the
boys puppies. It’s bad form.”
    Troy straightened and looked at the reigning Vampire Royals.
“Dylan told me some of the situation,” he said seriously. “Thank you for coming
to get me.”
    All of the amusement left Victor’s face as he looked at
Troy. He could tell that the boy had the makings of a fine Alpha, but that did
not mean he would be able to handle Madison. “If you had not left, then this
situation would never have occurred,” he said coldly. “We are not doing you a
favor.”
    Troy frowned. “Then what are you doing?”
    “Getting you to clean up your mess.”

Chapter 4-

 
    Madison sat in front of her large TV and looked at her boys.
Alex stayed with them until after dinner and she hadn’t seen Casper since
lunch. There were times when that was just as well.
They were her boys. While they had plenty of male role models, there were times
Madison wanted them all to herself.
    Times like now.
    They were happily getting ready to watch her play her
violin. Ever since she was pregnant, classical music seemed to relax them.
Watching their faces while she methodically tuned her instrument was a joy. And
she had a feeling that they would both want to learn to play.
    Just as she was about to put her bow to the strings, the
doorbell rang. Madison frowned and looked at both Kayin and Aiden. “Did you
boys invite anyone over?” she asked playfully.
    Kayin jumped to his feet. “Lacey!” he cheered.
    Madison caught him as he started to race to the door. She
made him look at her and frowned. “You don’t answer the door,” she said
sternly.
    Aiden climbed onto the back of the sofa and looked out of
the window. “Grandfather!” he cheered when he saw Victor and Crispin climb out
of the limo.
    The frown on Madison’s face deepened. Victor had a key to
the door and wouldn’t be caught dead ringing the doorbell. She went to the door
and pulled it open. Her heart nearly stopped when she saw the golden eyes that
haunted her for the past 4 years. “Son of a bitch,” she whispered.
    Troy gave her a rueful smile. “My mother is actually human,”
he said lowly.
    Madison slowly nodded. “I’ll keep that in mind,” she
breathed. Before he could say anything else, Madison closed the door in his
face. She leaned her back against the solid oak and took a slow breath. “This
isn’t happening,” she said to herself.
    Kayin and Aiden looked at each other as Casper came down the
stairs. They giggled and laughed as Madison ran her hands through her hair.
“Mommy’s in trouble,” Kayin cooed.
    Casper frowned as he took in the scene. “What’s going on?”
he asked.
    Aiden leaned on his brother. “Mommy closed the door on
Grandfather’s friend,” he said simply.
    Casper’s frown deepened. His father was never known for
bringing people around his family. And since the twins had the potential to be
powerful Mages as well as Wolves,
