Rumors were the only things those journalists believed in and they actually convinced the world it was the truth. They never apologized when they gave out false information, either.
    I had just arrived home from work. I wasn’t in the mood to fight with her, especially when we were finally trying to bond as a married couple.
    â€œI need to show back up at school,” she said.
    â€œYou can take night classes like Colette. She’s learned to go to different campuses, so no one would think anything funny.”
    â€œI guess that’s the only choice I have. That means I would have to withdraw out of my day classes. This is so messed up. I’m going to have to move back into my dorm.”
    â€œYou don’t have to live back on campus.”
    â€œThat’s the only way my life will feel normal again. Will you be able to come by and visit?”
    I sighed at the thought of being restricted from her company. This wasn’t going my way. I started walking toward the front door.
    â€œWhere are you going?”
    â€œI have to get some air.”

    â€œWhat are you doing here?” Onyx asked, opening his front door for me.
    I spent my whole day thinking until I couldn’t focus anymore. It was almost nine o’clock at night on a Sunday and we were going to have to be at the club in an hour. I took off my shoes at the door and followed him inside.
    â€œEssence read her missing person’s report today.”
    He frowned. “Didn’t you explain to her that she would be filed as a missing person if she didn’t go back to school?”
    â€œI told her, but she wants to go back to school, and she wants me to give her the space to do what makes her comfortable.”
    â€œHow are you really feeling? It doesn’t seem like you and the new bride are getting along too well.”
    â€œThis is all becoming more complicated than it needs to be.”
    â€œI’m sure this was what Father meant when he said we had to choose our brides carefully…”
    â€œThat’s exactly what I was thinking on my way over here.”
    â€œWell, I have some news to share,” Onyx announced.
    â€œYeah? What’s that?”
    â€œI got Soleil pregnant.”
    â€œSoleil? The bartender?”
    â€œYeah…”
    I frowned deeply. “Wait, is that even possible?”
    â€œMother gave her an ultrasound earlier this evening… Yes, there’s a baby and he or she is growing.”
    This couldn’t be true. He had to be joking. “Yeah right.”
    â€œI swear to you.”
    As I tried to process the news, Soleil walked into the kitchen and Onyx’s face lit up.
    I thought we were in the house alone. She actually startled me a little bit. I straightened up and waved. “ Bonsoir, Soleil .”
    â€œ Bonsoir, Rain . How are you?”
    â€œI’m good. How are you?”
    â€œI’m doing pretty well.”
    â€œCongratulations on the baby.”
    â€œThank you.” She held on to Onyx.
    Onyx kissed the side of her face.
    â€œI’m going to head to the club. Thanks for being an ear, Onyx,” I said. “I’ll see you there.”
    â€œNo problem, bro. I’m here for you whenever you need me.”
    This would be the very first vampire-born baby in over two centuries. Worry filled me. It was time for me to face the one thing I had been running away from, the Divination.

CHAPTER 18

LEGEND
    I went into the living room and the sliding door to the balcony was opened. Chantal went out to view the city as the lights twinkled underneath the moonlight.
    I joined her. “Hey, baby? What you out here thinking about?”
    â€œI’m just thinking…”
    â€œI can see that. What’s on your mind?”
    She hesitated for a moment as if she didn’t want to tell me. After a few seconds of silence, she said, “I don’t think I’m ready for
