The Sanctuary Series

Hi, my name is Nikita Slater and I'm the International Bestselling author of The Queens series, Fire & Vice series, The Sanctuary series, Driven Hearts series and several standalone novels. I've loved the written word my entire life and am an avid reader, as well as a writer. I live, eat and breathe books and I'm always working on something new! ​ I live on the beautiful Canadian prairies with my son and crazy awesome dog. I have an unholy affinity for books (especially dark romance), wine, pets and anything chocolate. Despite some of the darker themes in my books (which are pure fun and fantasy), I am a staunch feminist and advocate of equal rights for all races, genders and non-gender specific persons. When I'm not writing, dreaming about writing or talking about writing, I love to help others discover a love of reading and writing through literacy and social work. Only the strongest can survive in a hostile world ravaged by a disease that turns humans into primitives. She is the Desert Wren, a rebel bent on providing safe passage to illegal refugees entering into her Sanctuary city. If she’s caught she’ll be executed, but the price is worth the privilege of doing what she knows is right. Except when she’s finally caught, the sentence isn’t death, it’s her freedom. It’s the Warlord’s job to weed out the weak and sacrifice them for the good of the Sanctuary. Brutal and autocratic, he is the highest authority. The only threat to his dictatorship is a rebel faction rising up from the slums of his city. When he arrests a rebel leader, the Desert Wren, he sees his redemption. She will help him guide Sanctuary into the future. He just needs to convince his little captive that she’s better off with him than flying free. What is the price of Sanctuary in a dying world and is it worth the sacrifice?

Chapter 94: Taran

"Your baby is healthy, you have nothing to be concerned about."

"Then why am I not showing yet, Bishop?" I ask worriedly, allowing him to take my hand and help me up from the bed. He's been kind enough to come visit me in the apartment since Diogo won't let me leave. "I'm almost five months along and nothing. Where did the baby go, if it's in there at all?"

He chuckles and pats the slight rise on my stomach. "Not everyone shows or grows babies the same. Not to worry, your belly will get bigger in no time and then you'll be worrying about where your feet went."

I narrow my eyes at him trying to stuff the impulse to start screaming at him deep down. I tell myself he wasn't always this annoying, that the baby is making me think things I wouldn't usually think. Like every person that talks to me is the devil and needs to fall off the nearest cliff. That list includes Grayson, Stryker, Dee, Milla, Bishop and most especially Diogo.
