Shimmer

The previous night had been transformative for Samantha and Marcus. After discovering the changing silver marks on her skin - signs of her unprecedented pregnancy - they had found comfort in each other's presence. Morgan, the ancient fae and Callum's stepmother had warned them that a pregnancy involving a vampire mother and three powerful supernatural fathers would bring unexpected changes. But nothing could have prepared them for what came next.

Samantha's eyes snapped open as nausea hit her with the force of a tidal wave. In a blur of supernatural speed, she rushed to the bathroom, her long dark hair streaming behind her. The morning light filtering through the frosted windows caught the silvery marks on her pale skin, making them shimmer like constellation patterns.
