Pan spoke up for the first time, his voice edged with realization. “That’s why you’re so much stronger than the rest of demonkind.”
“It explains so much,” Moira said with an excited giggle. “Those fancy rooms of yours atIniquity, how you’re able to create and contain a realm like this one...”
“And why you weren’t able to simply provide us with all the answers from the start,” Caleb added, interest sharpening his gaze as he studied her.
Lilith nodded. “I did everything I could.”
“I have a question,” Remi interjected.
“Of course he does,” Thorne said.
“How is it we can read the Book of Lilith without it being too much for our puny human brains?”
“Because we aren’t trying to download it all directly into our brains like Lilith did,” Asher explained. “The pages keep it safely stored. Sort of like a firewall.”
Remi waved a hand. “You lost me at firewall, but the rest of it made sense.”
“You know how you used to be able to download porn, but your computer kept crashing when you tried to do too much at once?”
“Ah, yeah, the good old days.”
“This book is the website. It keeps everything safe so it doesn’t crash your brain.”
Chaos stroked Merri’s knuckles as he cleared his throat. “This book, it has information on unmaking our kind?”
Gavin looked down at the book in question. “It only said immortals, but perhaps that is applicable.”
“Has it been fully translated?” Asher asked.
“Not yet, it hasn’t been a priority until now, but we can work on that. With Lilith’s help, it shouldn’t take long.”
Grim let out a soft grunt, and I followed his gaze to where Chaos continued to cuddle our girl. Before anyone noticed, he teleported himself to her side and shoved Chaos out of the way, then scooped her up, claimed her seat, and plopped her on his lap.
Merri laughed as she twisted her head to look up at him. “What are you doing?”
His hand settled on her lower belly, and the gentle smile that was on his lips at her nearness faded.
“Grim? What’s wrong?”
Addressing the room, Grim halted all possibility of further discussion when he said, “We have a much bigger problem than the horsewomen.” His gaze darted to Merri. “You’re pregnant.”

MERRI
“I’m sorry, what the fuck did you just say?”
Sin stole the words right out of my mouth as we all stared at Grim in shock. My gaze trailed from his face to where he rested his large palm on my belly. I wasn’t pregnant. I’d know.
Wouldn’t I?
“No, I’m not.”
“Yes, wildflower, you are.”
Kingston snickered and said, “Been there before, right Thorne? Sunday was so mad when I told her about Eden.”
