Chapter 10

Lilith’s Plan

Magnus was still chained to the post, my Power kept him unconscious. I didn’t want to hear the ramblings in his head. I didn’t even want to hear my own ramblings. I was leaning back on my sofa, resting and thinking, trying to understand what was happening.

Pregnant.

I shuddered at the unspoken word. At the word that Magnus thought. At the possibility. I could never be a mother. I eat children, or I could if I wanted. Really I could never stand the brats. I could hardly even stand adults, and they had at least a little more sense than the snot-nosed chaos bringers.

Damien and I hadn’t been together for a full month before he sent me on my assignment to manipulate and infiltrate the male Order member. And he and I did have several naked encounters in the sheets, but I killed him almost five months ago now. And there was no way I could have been with a man so soon after Damien’s death. Not to mention, I really didn’t have the time. I mean, I have bed Hadrian twice already now, but that was recent. Up until we came here, I had been too overwhelmed with the Seals and the army to even find the time to fuck around.

My hand went to my stomach, not in a loving way, but a curious, could-it-be-possible way. My stomach hadn’t really gotten any bigger, though if I lay flat on my back, it no longer sunk in like it used to.

My boobs did seem larger and more robust, and they hurt like a mother. And when I really thought about it, I hadn’t had my menstrual cycle in months. I had just been so busy I never really noticed it.

Pregnant.

Could it seriously be true? I woke Magnus with a mere whisper to his mind. He eyes flicked open, all terrified and shaken. His head was at an awkward angle, as his arms were stretched high above his head. And his legs were curled beneath his ass, his fat hung over his ankles. Sweat dripped down his face, neck and arms. But I didn’t physically harm him, yet.

“Could an Order member and Rising member actually conceive a child?”

He straightened his head and tried to adjust his body so he no longer hung limp. “It has never been heard of, or even thought of.” He didn’t speak what he thought, that no Order member or Rising member would ever want to, or even think of it.

“Okay. But what if it did happen? What would happen to the mother?”

He seemed to be thinking rather intently. He knew he had to be careful with what he said, I did already have him chained just because of his thoughts.

“I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible. Often times, a Rising member will impregnate, whether willingly or unwillingly, a Powerless woman, and thus the woman usually dies at the child’s birth. We don’t pay much attention to the Powerless though, so I don’t know how it affects them.
