“Anyway,” Logan interrupted. “Baby,” he looked sadly at me. “To have Aria is the best thing we could all ask for. Unfortunately for us, we’ll never be able to procreate with you, but I think in the end we’d rather haveyouthan children.”
“So that demon definitely screwed me over hard,” I said numbly. “Get that fairy in here. I want this evil out of me.”
“That was easy.” Val stood.
“I’ll get him,” Logan said.
I stood, unsure of what was going to go down with this fairy dude that my guys were all programmed to hate.
A man with silver hair, pale skin, and lavender eyes walked into the room. Aria snapped my eyes away from him when she squealed, crossed the room, and leapt into the man’s arms.
“How’s my sweetheart?” he kissed her on the cheek.
She hugged his neck. “Poppy, you gonna fix momma?”
“Yes, precious. That’s why I’m here.”
“I’m Elle,” I said with a smile as I rubbed along Aria’s back. “She seems to like you a lot.”
The man glanced around the room. “She’s a treasure, and we all are intrigued with her. I’m sorry this has happened to you,” he said to me before he looked at the guys, “to all of you. But the great war is coming for us—the war we never imagined coming for us—and we must unite. All who were once enemies must become allies, or they will face certain death.”
“Can we leave the negotiations of friendship out of this?” Cole said. “You’re here to fix our girl. Aria thinks you’re her grandpa, fine. We need the help, and we’ll take it. You should understand we’re talking to people who should still be dead. It’s hard to wrap the mind around that.”
“You all just had a taste of what’s to come.” He looked at me. “We never believed it was possible, even our eyes were blinded by that demon.” He sighed and ran his hand over Aria’s hair, “However, all of that has prompted us to prepare. Elle has managed to lock the evil away for a time, but when this child has reached her achievements, it will spark this evil again.
“We never imagined Lucifer would want to take this world back for his own, but after the demon came to procreate with one of the strongest females alive, that is when we knew, he’s slowly building his army. He won’t stop with Elle. He’ll search for more fertile strong supernaturals to fulfill his plan.” He looked at me and nodded, “You set the evil back years upon years, and for that, all supernatural realms are forever grateful.”
“When do you think the son of a bitch that we have no idea how to wipe out will pop up out of the pits of hell and take on the fucking world?” Nakia growled.
“Lucifer has tricked us once, and he will try again, but right now, all supernaturals are on guard. Seers have returned from the grave, hence the reason you have Val with you. Everyone is watching and ready. We must send word to Enzo that his days for games are over—a greater evil is coming. The seers will know at least five years into the future before this happens. Right now, they sense nothing. We have time,” he looked at my stomach, “but we must get rid of those immediately.”
Zane walked up to me, “We’ll all be by your side.” He looked at Val, “Can you take our daughter? I have a feeling this isn’t going to be simple and easy.”
“I will put her into a deep sleep while I remove the womb and the demons. When she wakes she won’t remember them or what the demon did to get her pregnant.” The fairy looked at me, “I hope that is okay with you. I have to wipe your memory from even having them in your womb. Every piece they’ve touched, I must take. Your womb has protected all of your internal organs and the Life Blood you carry in you has protected your blood from them contaminating you like a virus. Your mind? That must be repaired from having any memory of these things in you. This is how dangerous these things are. Do you understand?”
Logan’s hand clutched mine. “How long will I be out?”
“At least a day, then I will be gone, and you will wake to a peaceful life. I will make this process as painless as possible for all of you.”
“Having our girl knocked out like sleeping fucking beauty is not going to be an easy process, fairy lord,” Zane barked.
“It’s the only way, and I ask all of you to do this for Elle and the protection of all the supernaturals and mankind.”
“No shit,” Zane huffed. “Let’s get this over with.”
“Trust me,” Logan grinned, “We’ll have our hands busy with Aria that it will make the time pass quickly while Elle is out. This shit has to happen.”
“Let’s do this.” I sensed the urgency and knew the longer we stood around, something worse was bound to happen
I was brought into my bedroom. After Aria had kissed my check and hugged me tightly, I saw all of my guys standing solemnly behind the fairy before his cold fingertips brushed over my lids, and they closed. When my eyes opened, I was in shock at what I saw.
This deep sleep sent my brain to stalk out my mom and Enzo in his lair? What the fuck? I went to hide, but Enzo never saw me when I accidentally kicked a table over in the room he sat in. I was like a ghost, eavesdropping in his lair, and yes, this felt very real.
“Lord Valkrin wanted you to see this,” Val said, holding my hand. “The guys would kill him if they knew you had to be mentally brought here while he performed the procedure, but if you didn’t see this with your own eyes, we wouldn’t have a chance in hell at you helping us to convince the guys that we can persuade Enzo to join us in this fight. We have to have him stop is pursuing total domination. We need his powers, and he’s not the only one.”
“Val, how are you here?”
“I’m a seer now, remember? All I have to do is close my eyes.” She smiled at me, “I’m not letting you go through shit alone. I’m here for you, the guys, and Aria. Elle, you have to trust this next level of craziness. You got that in you?”
