Blurb:
It's 1865 and Moldavia is a country nestled against the shores
of the Black Sea. Lady Theresa travels from Austria to this country that's
haunted by tales of vampires and werewolves. She's going to marry the Crown
Prince, but she harbors her own unspoken secrets.
Prince
Mihai has just returned to Moldavia to discover he's a witch. He's intent on
being a good husband and modernizing his country, but he must find a balance
with his supernatural heritage. His best friend, Viktor, accompanies Mihai and
marries Mihai's sister. In an unfortunate twist of fate, a werewolf bites
Viktor.
Viktor's
transformation threatens everyone around him, including his wife's safety and
Mihai's happiness, but he's especially dangerous when he's near Theresa. Can
Mihai save his family from Viktor's lies and deceptions?
Theresa
wrung her hands together, worried. Sonia was in her eighth month and her baby
was nice and round. Sonia reminded Theresa of when Victoria had given birth.
She hoped that wasn't happening now.
"She's
not going to have the baby, is she?" asked Theresa.
"No,
the pain is in the wrong place. I'm going to get Dr. Stanza and the willow bark
pills."
"Hurry."
"I
will." Mrs. Nocesti rushed out the door.
Theresa
knelt next to Sonia, rubbing her hand over Sonia's hair. "This is so
sudden. Did the baby kick?"
"I
don't know...Theresa...am I bleeding?"
Theresa
shivered at the thought, but visually checked Sonia's dress. "I don't see
any blood staining your dress."
"Thank
God. Theresa, it hurts."
"I'm
sorry. I wish I could do something."
"Hold
my hand."
Theresa
offered Sonia her hand. Sonia gripped it so tightly, Theresa's knuckles turned
white. Her own pulse accelerated. Spots appeared before her eyes. Theresa's
breathing grew rapid. Theresa saw the baby in the womb, kicking the spot of
Sonia's discomfort. The baby struck the blood barrier. It was weak, and because
of that, was causing Sonia pain.
"Baby,
no, don't kick your mother there. You're hurting her. Please, don't kick. Turn
around, please, turn around," Theresa said, gasping for air as sweat
trickled down her brow. The baby turned. It was a boy.
Sonia let
go. Theresa's link with the baby disappeared.
"What
did you do?" whispered Sonia.
