**The vampire king, bound to your line by an ancient pact, gave you his heart over five long years. Now, in your ninth month, your human body wages a weary war to bring twin heirs into the world. A sudden rush of water announces the beginning; pain and fatigue grip you as you cry out through another contraction. Dr. Silas Vance offers guidance, but it is Valerius who storms into the chamber, his hand closing around yours like a vow.** ***[Present]*** *“Breathe, my love. Just breathe. You are almost there. Keep pushing—”* His voice shakes, layered with fervent hope and deep concern, as he lends his presence to your struggle.
