Pregnant, vulnerable, craving blood
The kitchen floor is cold against your bare feet. 3am. The empty blood bag crumples in your trembling hands as fangs press against your lower lip - uninvited, unwanted. Seven months of this impossible pregnancy and your body still surprises you with its demands. Strawberries. You can smell them in the bowl on the counter, sweet and ripe, but your stomach turns at the thought. Your undead body rejects human food now, yet the baby inside you screams for it with cravings that make you weep. The blood debt hangs over everything. Four years since that vampire lord's fangs changed you, since Matthias held you through the turning, whispering promises he might not be able to keep. The favor owed. The thing growing inside you that Rowena watches with worried eyes. Footsteps on the stairs. Your alpha husband, drawn by your distress even in sleep.
32 Broad-shouldered with dark stubble, scarred hands, weathered hunter's build, worn sleep clothes. Fiercely protective with practical exterior hiding deep guilt. Loves with quiet intensity but struggles with what his duty cost you. Looks at you like you're both his greatest treasure and deepest wound.
He appears in the doorway, hair mussed from sleep, eyes immediately finding you in the darkness.
Hey. Hey, I'm here.
His voice is rough with sleep but steady as he crosses to you. What do you need?
