Sanctuary, Texas: My Eternal Soldier Part 23

Why the h.e.l.l was he smiling at me?

"Deeper. Listen deeper. Like the flutter of wings." His gaze dropped to my stomach.

I stopped breathing and froze in place. Not only could I hear it. I could feel the flutter deep inside my abdomen. My hands slid protectively over my belly, and I gazed up at him, sure that the shock on his face was equally mirrored in mine. I was a vampire. This was impossible.

Raven and Rose came barreling into the dining room, but neither spoke. Even the four Lycans who'd started the whole s.h.i.+t storm stood silently next to the door. A moment later, the French door burst open, and Killian stepped inside.

"Eira, I felt you-" The words died away, and he glanced around the silent dining room before his eyes met my gaze and then fell to where my hands protectively covered my abdomen. "What is it? What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

I shook my head. The realization of what the Sisters meant when they called what had happened to me a blessing slammed into my gut, and I dropped to my knees with a cry that sounded half like a scream and half like an exultation of praise to the G.o.ds.

Killian was at my side a moment later, pulling me into his lap.

A baby. I was pregnant. It wasn't possible, and yet I could feel the life inside me. I could feel the kicka.s.s little heartbeat fluttering away like the wings on a hummingbird. Somehow it was possible. Somehow I'd been given a chance to have something I thought I lost with my humanity so many years ago.

"We're going to have a baby," I whispered into his ear.

His chest clenched, and his arms tightened around me. I couldn't see his face, but I could smell the salt from the tears welling in his eyes.

"We're going to have a baby?" he asked, repeating my words as a question. "We're going to have a baby."

The second time it wasn't a question. This time the words came out with pride and excitement and loving adoration for the tiny life we had yet to meet.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR.

You Can Find Out More @ www.krystalshannan.com.

Krystal Shannan goes to sleep every night dreaming of mythical realms with werewolves, vampires, fae, and dragons. Occasional a fabulous, completely human story slips into the mix, but powers and abilities usually crop up without fail, twisting reality into whatever her mind can conceive.

As a child, her parents encouraged her interests in Ancient Greek and Roman mythology and all things historical and magickal. As an adult, the interests only grew. She is a child of Neverland and refuses to ever stop believing in fairies. She is guilty of indulging in and being a Buffy the Vampire Slayer groupie as well as an Angel fan. For those of you unfamiliar with the world of Joss Whedon, you are missing out!

She also makes sure to watch as many action and adventure movies as possible. The more exciting the better. Yippee-Ki-Yay..... If you don't know the end of that phrase, then you probably don't like the same movies.

She enjoys reading romance in all genres, but especially paranormal. Her favorite book is ACHERON by Sherrilyn Kenyon. But really, if it has a 'Happily Ever After', she's on board!

Krystal writes stories full of action, snark, magick, and heart-felt emotion. If you are looking for leisurely-paced sweet romance, her books are probably not for you. However, for those looking for a magickal ride, filled with adventure, pa.s.sion, and just a hint of humor. Welcome home.
