return the feelings.
    “You can’t,” Dez said.
    “Why not?” I shook my hand out of Damian’s grip and laced on my white leather belt.
    “It’s almost dawn. The vamps here won’t be able to protect you if shit goes seriously bad.”
    “What would you have me do?”
    “Stay with Donavan during the day. Wait until nightfall. With so many vamps backing you, Rose would be stupid to pick a fight.”
    “Unless that’s what she wants,” Damian interrupted. “Old friend, you seem to forget she sent a vampire necromancer to kill me.”
    “You heard Amythist’s orders,” argued Dez. “She can’t harm you or your vampires. Your people have immunity.”
    “Unless she decides otherwise,” I interjected. “Rose can take as easily as she can give.”
    I waited, and when no one said anything I asked, “So what do we do?”
    Then my phone rang, answering the question for all of us.

Chapter Five
    “Wait. Wait! Slow down, Donavan. What’s going on?”
    I pressed my phone against my ear and put my finger in the other ear to hear better. Something was wrong at the DeLocket residence, and if Donavan would slow down, I would know what.
    “Sarah, someone told the BMC about our baby!”
    I didn’t see anything wrong with that. “Okay?”
    “We got a warrant issued to us today.” Now I could hear Monique sobbing in the background. “If we don’t destroy my child before nightfall, the BMC will see that as a threat and destroy my Clan.”
    “Dear God,” I whispered. I had never heard of anything so barbaric.
    “What are we going to do? I’m not about to kill my unborn baby!”
    Dez took the phone from me. “Donavan, it’s Desmond. We’re coming to you. It’s not safe at Malevolent Dead right now. Between us vamps and you Weres, I think we can give the Guild a decent fight.”
    I sat on the edge of my bed. Why would the BMC want to destroy Donavan and Monique’s baby? They didn’t have a seer on their payroll, so they couldn’t know whether or not the child was evil. My stomach churned at the thought of them fighting the BMC. Donavan had lost the brunt of his Clan to Jerrikin and Jackilin Skyner. Local Weres had already approached Donavan about a merger, but Donavan refused. For eight generations his family had ruled the DeLocket Clan, and he wasn’t about to be the one to end that. The BMC might do that for him, and this time there would be no survivors to join another Clan.
    My rage bubbled to the surface. How dare the BMC do this! Were they doing this to get to me? Who in the hell called them about Donavan’s child? Dawn was fast approaching. Even though vampires didn’t go comatose when the sun rose, it limited our defenses. Donavan’s house didn’t offer much protection for the vampires during the day. Rose could blast a vamp through the wall and poof, dust. I didn’t like the thought of staying out in the middle of nowhere with nothing to protect us, but I agreed with Dez that their home would be the safest place for Monique and her unborn child.
    Dez flipped my phone closed and handed it back to me.
    “Where’s that witch?” he spat at Damian. It took me a moment to realize that he was talking about T.D.. “Find her, and tell her that she needs to put up protective wards around the DeLocket’s home today. We’ll need them.” Dez frowned. “Especially tomorrow evening.”
    “What happens tomorrow?”
    “Monique’s twins will be born.”
    Dom walked into the room. “Twins?” he asked.
    “Yes, twins. I don’t see why the BMC cares so much about them. It’s not like this has never happened before.”
    Dom sighed. “It has, in Pompeii. A Were and a witch had a child, and the child couldn’t control his powers nor his animal. It was a disaster.”
    “Of course it was. The lone child was a fluke.” Dez sighed. “Most of the time when supernatural species mix, twins are born. In the case of Monique’s twins, one will be born a witch and the other will be born a werewolf. There will
