and looked at her closely. “Of course you do, little one. With me, you will always have a choice. But you can"t deny the pull we have. We are mates.” He said confidently.
She raised her head and sniffed. She smelled cat, and started laughing. “You know, cats and dogs fight an awful lot.”
“Little one, I can guarantee I"m not thinking about fighting right now.” He growled into her ear and she felt her face heat up again.
She laughed nervously and looked at the bulge in his pants and she almost ran away. He was huge. She had seen bulges before, but never this large. She looked up at him with a panicked expression. Uh, well, that is… I don"t think this is gonna work.” She said quickly.
Blaze raised his eyebrows at her and smiled. “Don't worry, little one. I think we are gonna get along fine. You were made for me.”
Her mother who was standing with her father looked over at her and smiled. Trinity smiled back and then said, “What am I supposed to do now?” Blaze laughed and said, “Well, you are one of the Chosen. You will take your place on the Council with me at your side; we will find our other mate and settle down, make beautiful babies and live happily ever after. If that is too much for you right now, how about breakfast?” Blaze said, stood, and held out his hand.
The rest of the people in the room turned and nodded, apparently agreeing that they needed to get some food. Oliver came to her and smiled gently. “My dear, you are more than I could have ever hoped for in a Chosen one. Give yourself time to get used to it.” Trinity nodded and they walked toward the doorway that would lead them to the front foyer and they felt the ground shake before they heard and felt an explosion. The wall on the far side of the room burst into flames, and Blaze turned Trinity and fell on her to protect her from the falling ceiling. She knew she was screaming but could not hear her own voice.

Cloe and her mates readied the birthing room. They smiled at the trio who were on the other side of the room. Devon and Sid were holding Casey"s hands as she cussed them out for getting her pregnant. Cloe felt her stomach and smiled. She hoped when the time came that she would be a little calmer, but she knew that she wouldn"t. Darien and Teagan were just gonna have to suck it up.
The rest of the group was in the huge waiting room that they had designed. It had televisions and computers as well as gaming systems for the men. Gods knew that they could not be cooped up for more than a second without some sort of entertainment.
The children were in the suite down the hall. Cami announced that she had checked on them a few minutes ago and they were sleeping with their nannies watching them. Well, they were going to have to add on a few more rooms to the nursery. The way this Council was growing, they could make their own preschool soon. Cloe smiled and thought about all of their children growing up together. It was going to be fun, crazy, and eventful. Their children were the future. Oh, the Prophesy had been about the Chosen, but over the last few months, they had discovered that their children were special too. Their power was like nothing they had ever seen before. What that meant, they had no clue. But they all believed that it was going to help them in the future.
Cloe turned to her mates and got ready to have them bring the carts across the room.
Casey had been in labor most of the morning they discovered when they got her up here.
She would deliver soon. They knew she was having twins, a little boy and a little girl. So far, everyone of the group had multiple births, keeping them straight was fun! So far, they had six books on baby names and Ruby and Kira were arguing over a male name.
Casey screamed loudly and Cloe turned. “That is our cue boys; I think they are almost here!”
Cloe grabbed a cart and her mates followed her, they made it half way across the room before they felt and heard the explosion.
