“The baby is hungry,” Emmaline whined.
“Again?” Vladimir demanded, horrified.
Mary had to admit Emmaline was eating four times as much as usual and not putting on any weight. Her diet had changed from well-cooked meats to rare bloody steaks, although no one could break her of her BBQ rib craving.
But with Emmaline carrying the first Legendary child, nobody knew what would happen. Hell, they had no clue if she’d go into labour early or not. It made Vladimir paranoid and Jase overprotective. Emmaline was the only human that Jase would tolerate. Add in Durant, Shay, and Salah; five incredibly worried Legends jumped every time Emmaline opened her mouth.
“Jase is in a foul mood,” Mary explained to Emmaline, who nodded, avoided Vladimir’s grasp, and darted out of the room.
“She’s my mate,” Vladimir warned Mary.
“And the only connection Jase has with humanity, he’s got a lot of upheaval coming. I’d let them bond,” Mary said.
Instantly, Rhett and Vladimir turned curious looks on her, and Vladimir settled on the arm of her chair.
“Gossip?” he murmured.
Mary chuckled. They were so damn nosey.
“None for you,” she demurred.
Vladimir argued, “But you—”
“You better find Emmaline before Jase starts cooking her another steak,” Mary said.
Vladimir jumped to his feet and stomped off, throwing her a dirty look.
Mary giggled.
“That was cruel.” Rhett laughed.
One of them having a fated mate was a learning curve for all of them. They’d quickly learned that Vladimir lost the plot when someone else fed Emmaline. It seemed to be a mate thing.
Nobody knew what to expect, apart from maybe Andie. The human side of Pandora knew a lot, but even so, Andie kept her mouth shut.
Archere and Andie had been spending a lot of time together lately. Archere possibly knew something nobody else did. But if he did, he certainly wasn’t saying; the Hunchback was damn good at keeping secrets.
Jase/Poseidon
Jase heard Emmaline before he saw her.
She swung into the gym and headed right for him.
Jase sighed. Emmaline wouldn’t stop coming for a hug because he was in a foul mood. Durant puffed up, ready to defend his Heart-Sister, but Jase would never hurt Emmaline. He dropped his fighting stance and hugged her as she barrelled into his personal space.
“You’re all sweaty,” she complained before hugging Durant. “And you stink.”
“Nice,” Durant noted.
“Why are you in a mood?” Emmaline asked Jase bluntly, turning to him.
“Because life sucks?” Jase offered.
“Well, tell us something we don’t know. Come on, golden boy, who peed in your chips?” Emmaline demanded.
“What the hell?” Jase asked, amused. Where Emmaline got her sayings from, he didn’t know, but she was full of them.
“You know what I mean. Who upset you?”
