quite the nerd.
I now how that is. My cousin lived in Italy and traveled extensively for
quite some time before deciding she wanted to stay with my grandparents. It
bothered her so much to leave her friends. Rebecca looked at Alex and
smiled. Do you like it here, Alex?
The young, dark-haired boy smiled. Yes, ma am. I can t wait until
school.
Yeah, Mom, he s ten, like me! Myra danced happily. He ll be going to
my school this year! Say yes, Mom! She started jumping up and down. Can
we go to The Aquarium, now?
No, Hard Rock Café first, brat! Helen exclaimed.
Ma! Myra s high-pitched voice captured onlookers attention while
Nicholai chuckled.

Cool your heels, ladies! Helen, stop calling your sister a brat. We need to
unload these groceries before we can go anywhere.
We can help. Nicholai s brow arched. Just then, the overprotective
mother and queen of her castle kicked in. He would have to take his son to
McDonald s or something until she and the girls unloaded and put away all
the groceries as planned. She was more than happy about the arrangements,
but even so, he was still someone she d just met.
Um, if you could give us half an hour or so? Rebecca searched his eyes,
hoping she had not insulted him.
Sure, no worries. Alex and I can find something to get into, I m sure.
Nicholai glanced at Rebecca and smiled. He ran his fingers through his hair
in an odd, familiar way. He removed his glasses, and stared into her soul. His
squared jaw tightened, and a look of determination smoldered in his eyes.
Look, Rebecca, I hope this isn t being too forward, but I really would love
for us to take the kids somewhere. It doesn t bother me that we all just met. I
don t believe in coincidences, either. Nicholai moved closer to her and
whispered in her ear. Plus, I really would love to get to know you better.
Rebecca stiffened. His breath was hot, and his voice was tinged with
heated arousal. Every nerve ending in her body screamed to have him hold
her in his arms for one split second.
I d like to get to know you, too. Again, Nicholai s gaze captured and
drew her into their dark depths. For a fleeting moment, their surroundings
didn t matter and they were encased within their own world. There was no
doubt in Rebecca s mind that, somehow, they knew one another. The
children cleared their throats, startling their parents. It was settled.

Chapter Eight
Nine months later, Nicholai and Rebecca married. The children bonded
well and were, after all, like brother and sisters. Somehow, they were
something more than that. Two months after the sacred vows had been
spoken, she carefully observed the actions of her family after eating Sunday
dinner. Alex and Myra carried on a conversation about the movie they had
seen over the weekend, and Helen chimed in occasionally, but watched the
clock.
What are you staring at? Rebecca sipped her coffee as Nicholai s
intense gaze became almost too overwhelming for her to bear. Once again,
history seemed as though it were repeating itself. Those eyes of his harbored
secrets, as they once had long ago.
You. Nicholai wiped his mouth with a napkin and sipped his coffee.
Rebecca squirmed in her seat as his eyes penetrated her. She loved how the
mature features of his face were highlighted whenever he smiled. There was
something else she noticed, something in his eyes. He was attempting to tell
her something without speaking.
Glimpses of another life flittered through her mind one last time. The
details of the past unfolded in her memory. Why had Niko insisted on
protecting the three who neglected their duties? Back then, it appeared he
had been betrayed, but it dawned on her, the three members of their tribe
were Myra, Helen, and Alex.
Rebecca shuddered as some foreign sense of knowing forged itself into her
brain. Nicholai s gaze shifted and he leaned his head to the side and smiled at
the children the way a loving father did.
Sadness cradled Rebecca at the thought of their children s souls being
lost forever. That is what would have happened had they engaged in battle
against the Ottoman Empire. Had Niko known of this then? A gasp left her
parted lips and those dark eyes released secrets hidden from her centuries
ago. Flashes of his calm face pierced her memory as he mentally explained
the Tsar s curse in Serbia.

It was then, at the dinner table, that Rebecca saw glimpses of her warrior
shifter, fighting in countless wars over the ages as a human. He d died
numerous times over the centuries and was always regenerated after every
battle. Once the wars had been fought, he was then banished to the realm
where they once had led their past lives together. Niko never allowed the
Tsar s harsh curse to harm a hair on their children s head. The entire tribe
was never in any danger, only the three defiant young souls.
Walk with me, Rebecca. Nicholai rose to his feet, prompting her to
join him in the living room. The children were so caught up in their
conversation about the occurrences of the weekend, they paid no attention to
their parents as they slipped away from the dining area and into the living
room.
Now out of earshot of the children, Nicholai spoke his peace. Now, do
you understand, my Zena Vuk? Her husband grinned as he brushed a lock
of hair away from her eye. Her chest tightened as he spoke.
What is the meaning of this? Rebecca placed a hand on Nicholai s
cheek. Her eyes searched his dark depths in hopes to obtain an answer.
You know the meaning very well. We must be quick, for you cannot be
allowed to possess this knowledge within your current life for too long. All
has been made well, and we can carry on with our lives the way we are
supposed to. Nicholai caressed her chin with his large hand and winked at
her, leaving her breathless. The children are safe now.
Rebecca squinted her eyes. What? How is it that you know these
things?
As leader of the tribe, Prince Nemanjic passed his powers on to me. I
knew of our fate even then. The Tsar sought our children s souls. My
suffering ensured they would be safe forever.
Our children? But how
Do you remember, the very first time you projected yourself into my
realm, the night after Mike raised his hand to you in anger? Do you
remember how traumatized you were?
