be a mother and that realization began to stir up an automatic protective instinct within.
Once I finished fixing my hair, I lingered in front of the mirror and stared at my reflection. I narrowed my eyes to fixate on my aura out of sheer curiosity. The bright, white light began to form a soft halo around me but there was something different now.
There were dark smudges in random spots that broke the solid continuity of the light surrounding me. The darkness smeared into my aura was definitely noticeable, and it was nothing that I could even attempt to hide. With another deep sigh, I closed my eyes.
“Starling.” Cam’s voice returned to me in a soothing, somewhat seductive tone.
The sound of his voice in my head when he said my name automatically created a frenzy of erotic sensations throughout my entire body. I could still feel him inside of me, and the phantom aftershocks of the multiple orgasms that left my legs feeling both rubbery and too weak to even kneel.
My breath caught. I was already literally craving him again.
I bit my bottom lip, keeping my eyes closed and answered him softly. “I’m here.”
“I couldn’t wait anymore. Are you alright?”
“Yeah.”
“What did the succor say?”
“She’s leaving it up to me to confess. If I don’t then she will, which is fine. I plan to. I don’t have any other choice.”
I heard him sigh softly. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to put you in this predicament and make you compromise what you were destined to be and have chosen. I don’t regret any of it though. I’d do it all again. Everything.”
“I don’t regret anything either and stop saying sorry. I’m not.
Then I paused. “Do…” I hesitated to ask the question because for me there was none, but given the fact that he kept apologizing about it made me wonder.
“Do you want me to get rid of it?” I asked softly.
“ You can’t be seriously asking me that.” He sounded hurt.
“I just want to be sure, that’s all.”
It was silent on his end for a moment. “Are you sure? Though I’d do everything in my power to convince you otherwise, I’d understand if you…”
I would have been offended if it wasn’t apparent that Cam really wanted this child. I could hear it in his voice.
“I won’t lie to you, I’m am afraid but that thought never came to mind as an option. This baby…no matter what he or she is, will be a combination of the both of us and will have the same free will that all beings have.”
“You’re not alone. You’ll never be alone. In fact, I’d rather you be here with me anyway.”
I paused. I believed him though I still felt an emotional tug at my heart.
“I know. I just didn’t think as an immortal…that I could even get pregnant or that you as…a supernatural spirit being could…you know.” I don’t know why after all we did together both in the spring behind the waterfall and in his bed, that I couldn’t even say the words. I felt silly.
“Though we fallen can still switch back and forth between our original spirit forms and physical flesh at will, ultimately we’ve been condemned to endure for eternity in flesh form, which means that I’m no longer perfect. Everything that comes with being of the male species applies. You’re female… and still human.” He explained.
It was then that I finally understood why he was so apologetic. Because he was keenly aware of all of that and I was clueless. I had to wonder if Cam had planned this. Fallen wanted female warriors to breed with and I assume that’s why they were all after me, especially Morning Star. But why just me when they could create whatever dual race of beings they wanted with other female warriors? Have they been able to? What made them think that they’d be able impregnate me? Well—Cam had been able to.
I didn’t want to follow where my mind was going to next. I didn’t want to believe anything bad or negative about Cam but he was a Fallen, and I was told never to trust
