《The Queen they needed- The volturi kings》Chapter 23
Advertisement
Telling her mates about the baby had been one of the most nerve wracking experiences for her.
A child is something she had never known she had wanted until the moment she met her three adoring male mates, and now with four of them she could not decide who's child she wished to be pregnant with first.
In the days after killing the old queens she had been with each and everyone one of her mates which could have landed her in this position, in truth she had absolutely no idea who's child she was currently carrying.
As she sat next to her sister she could not help but what as the child in which her sister was carrying was slowly killing her, it was only a matter of time before Sabrina would be one of them and that child would be welcomed into the world.
Rose looked up and watched as her three kings walked into the room and she could not help but smile, since calling them she no longer felt the sickness or pain in which this pregnancy brought around, it seemed her child also liked having all its parents around.
Caius the seemingly most angry and scary man in the world melted at the sight of his mate, since telling him she was pregnant, she had seen his hesitance to the situation but each and every day he put away his own reservations and made sure she and the baby were well taken care of.
"Amore" he smiled as he kneeled next to her, his hand coming to rest of the slight bump of her stomach, it had only been a matter of weeks since she left volterra which meant her child was growing quickly, just like Sabrina's only her child was not killing her. Though she brought that down to not being able to kill something that was already dead.

She smiled at him and rested her hand on top of his "I'm glad your back" she whispered as she kissed his head gently
"As are we amore" Aro spoke as he came to sit on her free side as Marcus sat at her feet.
She looked around the room and smiled as she spotted didyme, that smile instantly made the old queen walk over and stood behind her, all of her mates touching her in some made her feel incredible.
Sabrina chuckled as she looked at her sister "goodness I've not seen you this happy the entire time you have been here" she said softly as she laid her head on her shoulder
Rose smiled as she kissed her head gently "all of my family is in one place, how can I not be happy rina" she hummed as she placed her hand on her sisters bump and chuckled as she felt her niece of nephew move.
She frowned a little as he eyes flashed white causing everyone to look at her "sweetheart" didyme muttered as she squeezed her shoulder gently only to receive no answer from her mate.
Her eyes stayed their white colour as she looked down at her sisters bump "yes you are" she smiled a little confusing everyone in the room but Edward
"You can hear them too" he asked awe in his voice as he looked at the woman he once hated
She nodded "the child is sorry it's hurting you rina, it doenst like that it's hurting you, they promise they only need a little longer" she smiled as her eyes settled to their normal black and silver colour.
Everyone looked at the vampire queen, the ruler of life and death itself and only as they watched colour return to Sabrina's face did they realise just how powerful the woman actually was.

Marcus smiled a little "I can already see your bond with that child, it is truly amazing how you can make everyone adore you" he muttered as he looked up at his mate
She gently dropped her hand into his hair and smiled "well i have to have people like me darling, they hate you all too much" she chuckled softly
Before anyone could say anything Marcus' eyes grew wider as he stared at his mates bump confusing everyone, yet again.
Aro being the idiot he was just had to see what his brother was seeing so instantly took his hand and gasped before staring down at his mates bump too.
The looks of two of her mates face made her and caius grow concerned while didyme frowned choosing to keep quite for the moment.
Caius growled lowly "if one of you do not tell us what you are gasping and staring at then I will not no concerns about throwing you both of the window" he muttered darkly
Rose gently rested her hand on top of his and kissed his cheek "calm yourself" she whispered softly before she looked down at her
"Marcus will you please tell me what you see, is the baby okay" she spoke softly though they could all hear the confusion and even the anxiousness that rested in her tone
"Babies" Marcus whispered causing her to freeze slightly
She blinked before she looked at him "excuse me" she mumbled as she tilted her head
Aro cleared his throat making everyone turn to face him "Marcus can see three ties tying themselves to you in the bond of a mother and child, he can see three ties tying didyme to them as mother and child, he can see three ties tying each of us to the children currently in you" he said the small smile on his face very noticeable
Her mouth dropped open as she stared down at her bump "your telling me that there are three babies in me" she asked as she stared at her mates with her eyes wide
Marcus nodded "yes" he smiled as he looked at her "I can also tell you each one of them is biologically related to a different one of us" he mumbled
She looked at him "I know you can hide bonds so if your comfortable with it, I would like you to hide who is biologically who's, all of our children shouty be treated the same, regardless of biology, when they are older I have no doubt we will all see who is related to who but for now I'd like it this way"
All four of her mates nodded and smiled as they each kissed her gently.
In that moment all of them knew they would absolutely love all three of those children. But Roselia could only think of that dream she had once long ago, where she had two boys a little girl, she hoped that would come true, she knew they would all be protective of all of their children but she also knew that all of her mates would spoil their children with everything in the world.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Errant
Amateur fighter Kestril only remembers two things about her mother's disappearance: a locket and the promise she made to keep her brother safe. That promise is all she thinks of when she jumps in front of a car to save her brother. She expects death, but instead wakes up to a looming clock tower, cobblestone streets, and dead soldiers wearing lockets just like her mother's. Kess's locket marks her as one of the Errant- people with control over dimensions and time, and the same people rumored to have captured her brother across the city. When a military group mistakes Kess for their enemy, she swears allegiance at gunpoint, hoping to search for her brother from within. Inside, Kess finds an even darker side of the city bent on killing the Errant-using any means necessary. When the murder of an important Errant soldier throws the city further into civil war, Kess uncovers a plot that could undo everything she's fought for so far. The only problem? Her brother is at the head of it. Trapped between her promise to her mother and her morals, Kess finds little use for her theatrical brawling of the past. She can only hope to find her brother before it's too late. || Update: 4/24/2022 Have decided to rewrite this novel, but will continue to post chapters of this draft, possibly with commentary. Questions, comments, concerns, and suggestions are welcome. Thanks for supporting me! |||| Story is finished, just getting into a publishing schedule on Royal Road for the first time. ||
