    Last night, I had the best sleep. The steak Kaye made was so good and full of energy that I feltpletely full. I finished all of it, then went back to sleep. All I remember is Norman cuddling me. I woke up early when there was a knock on the door. I heard it was Kaye, but I couldn’t focus on it. Norman kissed my forehead before he left the room, while I was still in bed. About fifteen minutester, I started to wake up too.

    I guess the thought of Kaye showing up so early in the morning must have meant something important, and that stuck in my mind. So I got up, took a shower, changed into loose-fitting blue jeans and a white top, and tied my hair in a high bun. Once I stepped out of the room, I looked around to see if I could find the two brothers. I walked over to Maximus’s room, but it was locked, so I decided to check the basement.

    Halfway there, I ran into Charlotte on the stairs.

    "Hey, Charlotte," I said.

    She smiled brightly. "I was just bringing you a ss of milk," she said, holding it up. "You’ve been sleeping a lot. Are you okay?"

    That’s when it hit me, not everyone knew I was pregnant. So had Darcy not told anyone? And that reminded me of Lord McQuoid. I was supposed to take care of him. Since I’d be staying home more now because of my condition, I figured I should take care of him myself.

    "Oh, yeah. Actually, is breakfast ready?" I asked.

    She nodded. "Yeah, everyone’s justing down now. Do you want to join us?" she asked sweetly.

    But there was always this emptiness in her eyes when I looked at her.

    "Yeah, sure," I said, walking downstairs with her.

    As soon as I stepped into the living room, I saw Lord McQuoid, Darcy, and the other girls, but none of the brothers were there.

    "Where are Norman and the others?" I asked Lord McQuoid, ignoring everyone else except Jessica, to whom I gave a small nod.

    "I guess they’re in Norman’s office," Lord McQuoid replied. "It’s fine. They always talk about meetings and stuff. You should have breakfast with us."

    "Oh, how about I bring them over?" I said. "I want the whole family together. I have an announcement to make."

    I felt nervous, but I didn’t want to hide my pregnancy anymore. Darcy already knew, and she was the biggest monster of them all. If she knew, everyone else should too. That way, if anything strange happened, people might remember that Darcy had something to do with it. Even thinking that way, that someone might hurt my child, just showed how scared I was.

    "Yeah, that’s a good idea," Lord McQuoid said, thankfully not disagreeing.

    I quickly left the living room and made my way to the second floor. From there, I took the elevator, and within seconds I was outside the office door. I knocked gently, and everything inside suddenly went quiet. I had heard strange voices just before that, so I wasn’t sure what was going on.

    Maximus opened the door. The moment he saw me, he let out a deep breath, like they had been expecting someone else.

    "Guys, it’s just Hnie," he called out.

    I peeked in and saw all three of them standing around aptop. It was Kaye’sptop. I knew it because he always covered his stuff in all ck.

    "What’s going on? Are you guys watching porn this early in the morning, you assholes?" I joked, pping Maximus’s chest before stepping inside.

    It was strange to think how bold I had be, making jokes like that. I pitied the old version of myself, the one who used to be afraid of her own shadow. Back when I lived in the pack, I was told women were disgusting if they joked with men, even their own mate. I was d those days were behind me.

    "You need to see this," Emmet said, pointing at the screen. But Kaye quickly grabbed his hand and gently pulled it down.

    "No, no, no. You don’t need to," he said, looking embarrassed.

    "What? Did they catch you naked somewhere or what?" I teased. Even though I could feel how anxious he was, I was just trying to lighten the mood.

    I walked over to the screen, and Norman went ahead and started the video from the beginning. Right away, I recognized what I was looking at, it was Kaye’s room. He had put cameras in there.

    "I don’t get it," I uttered, narrowing my eyes.

    They fast-forwarded the footage until Kesha and Kaye appeared in the room. I watched them sit down and start talking. It was about me. Then I saw her grab his face and kiss him hard.

    "Okay, that’s enough. Why are you showing me this?" I groaned.

    "Just keep watching," Kaye said, pointing at the screen this time.

    Then I noticed Kaye’s body wentpletely limp. She was the one who helped him lean back onto the couch. She moved into the same position I had seen her in before, not once, but twice. Once in the living room a few months ago, and again here.

    At first, it looked like they were making out, but it was just her. The room was so quiet, we could hear their gulps.

    Then, she was done. She pulled her tongue out and stepped back. That’s when I saw Kaye wasn’t moving at all. His eyes had rolled back before they slowly closed.

    She tied up her hair, walked into the bathroom, and left the door open. It felt like she wanted to keep an eye on him. She filled the bathtub, then started taking off her clothes. I was ufortable, and I noticed Emmet looking away too.

    Then she stepped into the tub, and the next part was terrifying. Her whole body changed. She turnedpletely blue, glittery skin covering her. Gills formed on her cheeks. The bones in her face became visible. She didn’t look like a mermaid. She was something else.

    Her blue tail swam slowly in and out of the tub. Her hair was long and dark blue.

    "She’s a siren," I said.

    The moment I said it, Emmet nodded.

    "Wait, what is going on? You’re supposed to be a siren hunter!" I shouted at Kaye.

    The news was so shocking I couldn’t control myself. My body started moving on its own.
