Adam choked on his drink, surprised by Sarah's sudden statement. He coughed and cleared his throat. "What...what are you talking about, mom?"Sarah gave him a pointed look, and his heart sank as he realized what she meant. Adam shook his head. "This is not the right time to talk about this."But Sarah was not deterred. "Actually, I think it's the perfect time."Rachel couldn't help but chime in. "Yeah, if you guys have your engagement on the same day, that means you'll save money on decorations and stuff. Plus, it'll be like a two-for-one deal."Everyone at the table stared at Rachel in shock, unsure if she was being serious or if she was just trying to lighten the mood.Rosalind burst out laughing, unable to keep a straight face any longer. "Rachel, you're hilarious!"Adam shook his head in defeat, a small smile gracing his lips. "I don't think that's how it works, Rach."But Rachel just shrugged, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Hey, I'm just trying to be practical."Aria laughed,
Despite Sarah's attempts to move on, the tension in the room did not dissipate. Lilith sat back in her seat, her arms folded across her chest, still visibly upset. Aria tried to engage her in conversation, but Lilith only responded with short, curt answers, clearly not interested in small talk.As the group discussed the details of the weddings, Lilith interjected occasionally, insisting on certain traditions and customs that had to be followed at her wedding. Aria and Adam tried to compromise, but Lilith was inflexible.As the night wore on, the group finally came to a tentative agreement about the wedding plans, but the tension between Lilith and Aria continued to simmer beneath the surface.As the clock struck midnight, Lilith rose from her seat, ready to depart from the meeting. As she made her way to the door, Adam stopped her with a gentle touch on her arm."Lilith, I want to talk to you," he said softly.Lilith hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Okay."Adam led her to a qu
Adam hesitated for a moment, but then the knocking grew louder and more insistent."Adam, Lilith, are you in there?" Aria's voice called out from behind the door.Adam swore under his breath and pulled away from Lilith, leaving her panting and unsatisfied on the bed. He quickly pulled up his pants and made his way to the door."Aria, what are you doing here?" he asked, trying to sound as casual as possible.Aria looked at him suspiciously. "I saw you and Lilith leave together, and I just wanted to make sure everything was okay."Adam could feel his cheeks flushing red. "Everything's fine."Aria's eyes narrowed, and she stepped closer to him. "Are you sure? It sounded like Lilith was upset earlier, and–"But before Aria could finish her sentence, Lilith appeared behind Adam, her hair disheveled and her shirt half-open. Aria's expression changed immediately, her eyes widening in shock."I–I didn't realize you were... busy," Aria stammered, quickly turning on her heel and hurrying away d
Lilith gazed at him with wide eyes, her eyebrows furrowed in surprise. "What? Why's that?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Adam gave a small shrug, his hand gently brushing over Lilith's still shaking body. "I just always thought that if we had children, they would be boys. You know, to carry on my legacy," he explained, his voice soft and soothing.A small smile spread across Lilith's lips as she traced her fingers lightly over Adam's firm chest. "Well, who knows?" she said, her voice filled with hope. "Perhaps we will have a daughter who is just as strong and capable as any son."Adam chuckled softly, wrapping his arm around Lilith's waist and pulling her closer to him. "You're right," he agreed, his breath warm against Lilith's ear. "As long as our child is healthy and happy, that is all that truly matters."Lilith nodded in agreement, resting her head on Adam's shoulder and letting out a content sigh. They sat together in comfortable silence for a few moments, enj
The next morning, Lilith woke up feeling happy and content. She stretched her arms above her head and looked over at Adam, who was still asleep beside her. She watched as his chest rose and fell with each slow breath he took. She smiled to herself, feeling lucky to be sharing this moment with him.Just then, Adam stirred and opened his eyes, looking at Lilith with a warm smile. "Good morning, beautiful," he said, his voice still a little hoarse from sleep.Lilith giggled and propped herself up on one elbow. "Good morning, handsome," she replied, blushing slightly.Adam sat up and stretched, yawning loudly.As Adam got out of bed, Lilith could see his impressive muscles rippling beneath his skin. She couldn't help but admire his physique, feeling grateful for the intense physical connection they shared. "Want some coffee?" Adam asked, as he walked over to the small kitchenette in his spacious room.Lilith shook her head, but then quickly offered to make the coffee instead."I can ma
After breakfast, Adam led the way to his room with Lilith and Aria in tow, followed by Sarah. Once inside, Sarah curiously asked about it, wondering what was going on."What do you want to show us?" Sarah asked."Mom, there's something I want to discuss with you and the girls, something important," Adam answered as he gestured for them to sit down.Sarah sat down on the bed, facing her son. Aria and Lilith sat on either side of her, looking at Adam expectantly.Adam took a deep breath and began to speak. "As you know, I am... well... different, and with that status comes a lot of danger. People will always be trying to undermine us, to take us down. So, I want you three to undergo some training, to learn how to defend yourselves and protect each other."Lilith and Aria exchanged puzzled looks, while Sarah seemed to be considering Adam's proposal. "What kind of training are you talking about?" Sarah asked."I'm talking about training that goes beyond just physical defense," Adam expla
Adam smiled. Previously, he had been worried about telling his family about this whole Immortal Realm and the powers that came with it. He was unsure if they would be willing to accept such a strange invitation and if they could handle the training that was to come. But seeing them now, standing together with him in this strange and magical place, he felt a sense of pride and excitement for what was to come."Alright then," he said, clapping his hands together. "Let's get started. Helia, please train my mom and Lilith according to their respective talents."Hearing this, Sarah furrowed her eyebrows. "What do you mean we have talents?"Adam chuckled. "You'll see," he replied mysteriously.Helia stepped forward, a warm smile on her face. "Don't worry," she said to Sarah, before handing her a small crystal. "Just touch this crystal and we'll find out what your talent is."Sarah hesitated, unsure of what to expect. She had never believed in anything magical or mystical, but seeing her s
However, Helia sighed, interrupting their thoughts. "But I'm afraid that's all I can do for now. I can only train Lilith in the use of her fire powers. I am not skilled enough to teach Aria in the use of her nature powers or Sarah in the use of her empathy abilities."Adam looked sad but understanding. He knew that this journey was just beginning."It's okay," he said with a nod. "Lilith can stay here with you and continue her training. Aria and my mom will have to go back to the mortal world."Lilith shivered, not wanting to be left behind in this strange and magical place. She turned to Adam, pleading with him to stay."Please," she said, her voice trembling. "Don't leave me here alone. I'm not sure I can handle it by myself."Adam smiled at her kindly, understanding her fears."Don't worry," he said, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I won't be gone for long. I just need to go back to the mortal world to take care of some things. I'll be back in a few hours."Lilith nodde
