their care and taught her the ancient black arts. Complete euphoria filled her being from the very first black spell she cast. The power was as addictive as any drug she could imagine. She craved it and the acceptance of the men who led her to it.
    When Filipp let her in on his plans to recreate the Ahbmonite race, she agreed to be the vessel without thought. It was only when she felt the magic of the life growing inside her, that her mission changed and became clear: to save her child. Something bright and precious took hold of her soul and she fought the darkness she’d harbored for so long. Spells became harder to cast, and things she had done a thousand times had not produced the expected results. The spell she had cast over the warehouse where Liam taunted Lily while he held Becca’s life in his hands was the most powerful she had ever created. The next spell she had cast at Filipp’s request almost killed her and her unborn child. It sickened her to believe Filipp would put her in so much danger. But when she first set eyes on Liam, she felt their child bind them together for eternity.
    The things she had learned throughout her time under the vampires’ watch would become very useful in the coming days. She knew Gideon had taken over Lily’s former lover, Ian. She knew Gideon would use his position in Ian’s body to get Becca and collect information on Manchester to report back to Filipp. She knew what all their plans were, thanks to a small spell that had worked on Filipp. Now to use that knowledge to escape with Liam would be a difficult task, yet one she knew had to be done to save them all.
    Valentina turned over and brushed her fingertips through some strands of Liam’s hair that fell across his forehead. She dared to imagine what their future could bring: the promise of a beautiful forever. She draped her arm across him and placed her cheek on his chest. His soft breaths filtered through her hair as she believed their eternity together began on that very day.

Where do we go from here?” Becca sighed. She picked up the quilt lying over Lily’s legs and placed it off to the side of the couch.
        Lily shook her head and took Becca’s hand in hers. “For the first time in a long time, I honestly don’t know.”
    “I wish I was able to be a bigger part of the investigation.” Becca moved to sit by Lily’s side, their fingers intertwined. “When I saw Gideon in that hallway, it all clicked. Who else would use me to get to you? They both had a goal in mind. Liam wanted you, and Gideon wanted me.” She took a deep breath. “Why is he still coming after me?”
    “Oh, Becca.” Lily wrapped her arms around Becca and rested her chin on top of Becca’s head. “That demon is more than a little screwy, but you are his weakness. We can use that to bring about his downfall. I promise with everything I have in me, we will stop him this time.”
    “And Ian?” Becca asked with a sniffle.
    “I’m sure we will find him soon. If I know anything about Liam, he’ll be true to his word and return Ian.” Lily prayed she was right. She had connected with Liam in those moments of his change in a way she had never felt with any other being. She felt his soul as her venom filled his veins. She knew there was purity there, not a true devotion to evil as she had once thought.
    They heard footsteps in the foyer and saw Jefferson open the front door.
    Sam walked in and shook the rain from his hair and coat. The man who followed him brought Becca to her feet with a gasp.
    “So, I figured three years was too long to be cooped up. I hopped on a plane and here I am. What’s new with the two of you?”
    Becca teared up at the sight of her quasi brother. Nathaniel wore a wide smile as she rushed over to him, jumped into his arms, and hugged him tight. “I’ve missed you, Nathaniel.” Becca’s tears dampened his shirt as they continued to fall.
    “Ditto, Bec.” He lowered her to her feet and cupped her face.
