“Twins?” Joaquin asked with a shocked look before he grinned again, wider than before.
“Twins?” Riviana echoed his question.
“Yes, twins. Congratulations.” I clapped them both on the shoulder at the same time, squeezing gently just to drive the news I had just shared with them home.
Riviana stood there in a daze for a few minutes until Joaquin dragged her away. I was now alone again with my mate. I settled into the chair, prepared to wait for a while until he was conscious again. I didn’t care if I had to sit here for a week, I would not move. I would sleep in this chair when I had to and I would watch him sleep while I was awake. But no matter what, I refused to leave his side. He was my mate, my love, my Shawn, my everything and I would stay with him until the end of time.

About an hour or so after Riviana and Joaquin left my room to go to their own I got a call on my cell. It was from them.
“Servus!” I answered with a friendly greeting.
“Hey Dietrich, there was just something I wanted to ask you.”
“What is it Riviana?” I was curious, but not enough to take my eyes off of Shawn, not for more than a second that is.
“Could you not tell anyone about the babies yet.”
“It’s not my news to share, Mein Freunde. Do not worry, your secret is safe with me, even from Shawn. I will tell no one.”
“Tell no one what?” I heard Shawn’s voice as his eyes fluttered open..
“Liebling, you’re awake.” I could tell that my voice was full of happiness at that moment.
“What happened, Dietrich?”
“I will tell you. I will tell you all of it, but not the Luna’s news, that you must wait for.” I giggled as I spoke to him, giddy now that he was finally awake. “Excuse me, Riviana, I must go now.”
“I know Dietrich, take care of him. We will come see him in the morning.”
“Yes, yes. Goodnight.” I rushed to get off the phone.
“Goodnight.” The words were barely out of her mouth before I ended the call, tossing my phone to the side on the table.
“Shawn, my dear, Liebling, I am so happy that you are awake my love.” I dropped to my knees next to the bed, grasping his hand in mine and holding it tight.
“What happened, Dietrich? The last thing I remember was being glad that I had managed to kill those things. I thought I was going to die.”
“You nearly did, Herzchen, I thought I was going to die right along with you. I knew something was wrong, I felt it the entire time we were apart.”
“But what happened to me? I feel so tired, so hungry, so thirsty. What actually happened to me?” The discomfort on his face, in his eyes, told me of the struggle he was going to have.
“That would be my fault my love. I had to do it. I couldn’t lose you. Please don’t hate me, Liebling.” I was pleading with him now.
“What did you do?” He looked curious at the moment but not mad at all.
“You were poisoned, my love, you truly were dying. Even the healer Griffin could not save you. The poison was moving too fast in your system. I had to turn you, I had to make you more like me.”
“Like you? You mean like a vampire? How is that possible?” He looked so confused by my words that he just couldn’t help but ask this.
“You are a hybrid my love. The Goddess Selene has told us so. You are the first of your kind, but you needn’t be the only one.” I did my best to explain it to him.
“You spoke to the Goddess?” This seemed to be beyond him at the moment, with everything that had happened to us all recently.
“The Goddess spoke to both Riviana and myself. She has named a successor to her line.”
“Don’t tell me, Riviana is the vampire queen now too.” He laughed but it seemed to cause him pain so he stopped right away. Still, I couldn’t help but grin at his words.
“No, Geliebte, she is not.”
“Really? Well that broke her streak.” He chuckled again but it hurt him once more. “Who did she choose?”
“Me.”
The way Shawn’s head snapped to the side to look at me, the surprise in his eyes and the way his mouth was hanging open, it all told me that he had not been expecting that bombshell.
“Y-y-you’re t-th-the V-Vampire K-K-K-K-.” He seemed incapable of finishing that statement. Or was it a question?
“I’m the Vampire King. Aside from powers like Riviana’s it doesn’t change much.”
