Chapter 0614 "I... I need to check on the boys." I hurry from our bedroom and into the boy's room, grateful to see they are asleep. Slowly and silently, I reach up to the top of the door and slide the lock across; resting my head against the wood, I take a few deep breaths, trying to gather my thoughts.
'You can't run away from this,' Nyx tells me.

They are my children; Dane and I created them, but I can't think when Dane looks atlike he was just now.' 'We can't abandon them." I didn't say I was going to, did I?' I snap back as I check on Evrin and Logan. Both are heavily asleep, knees tucked under their bodies, bums stuck up in the air without a care in the world. The girls had shifted before Logan; how was that even possible? I drop into the rocking chair and sigh. The girls were already hunting their prey; as they grow older, it will only get worse.
'Unless we nip it in the bud,' Nyx mutters.
If you are tellingto consider..." 'Fuck, no. The girls are ours; there is no way I want them bound. It was hard enough with us.
'Good, because that is not an option!' I snap.
'Good!' Nyx declares, 'I'm glad we are on the spage.' 'But it doesn't givean answer on how to deal with it, I sigh.
'Actually... I think we already have our answer.

'This was different, they practically went limp.' I mull over her words when someone gently knocks on the door, "It's me," Damien mutters.
Quietly, I creep across the room, trying not to wake the boys. Usually, the slightest sound stirs them, especially Evrin, but thankfully, neither of them moves.
I pause at the door and puff out my cheeks. Quietly sliding the lock back, I open the door a little to see Damien leaning against the wall on the opposite side of the hallway. Stepping out, I pull the door closed, "No Dane?" "He thought it would be best if he kept an eye on the girls. He glances down at my ripped jeans. I had been so busy talking to Nyx that I had forgotten that one leg was in tatters. The blue denim was stained with my blood, yet there was no evidence that I had been injured. "Are you okay?" ::
