The Viking's Consort (Clan Hakon Series Book 3)

by Quinn Loftis

  “Why are you hugging him?” Allete asked. “I’m the one carrying your child.”

  Brant shoved Torben away and wrapped his arms around me, picking me up off the ground high enough my stomach was level with his face. He pressed several kisses there, smiling up at me. “You’re carrying my son.”

  I frowned. “How do you know it’s a boy?”

  “Because the gods wouldn’t be so cruel to give me another female to deal with.”

  I raised my brow. “Deal with? Are you saying I’m something you have to deal with?”

  “Not a good choice of words, brother,” Torben muttered.

  “It’s a little late for that advice,” Brant growled. “I didn’t mean that in a negative way, beautiful. I love dealing with you.”

  “Well, I’m glad to hear it. I’m also happy to tell you that Allete said we’re having triplets, so there’s a possibility that you could end up with three daughters.”

  Brant nearly dropped me as he lowered me to the ground. His eyes were wide now. “Three?”

  I nodded.

  He cursed low as he released me. “I need a drink.” He stumbled off toward the main dining hut.

  “Are you really having triplets?” Torben asked.

  Laughing, I shook my head. “No. And I’ll tell him eventually. But he deserved it after his ‘dealing with you’ comment.”

  Torben laughed.

  “I don’t know what you’re laughing about,” I said. “Your wife is pregnant with twins.”

  Torben’s face sobered, and he studied Allete. She nodded. A minute later, we watched as Torben ran after Brant, muttering he needed a drink as well.

  “That was fun.” I chuckled.

  “It really was.”

  “Now what?”

  “Now, sister…” Allete sighed as she wrapped an arm around my waist. “We live happily ever after.”

  “Which translates into tormenting our Vikings, right?”

  “Absolutely.”

  "Gentlemen, we have a special treat for you today. Feast your eyes on this pure-blooded beauty!"

  Sixteen-year-old Serenity has spent her entire life in hiding to protect her from this exact moment. In a world where beauty is bought and sold on the streets like a corporate commodity, Serenity's natural assets are more like liabilities. Despite her parents' best efforts, she's been taken—ripped from her home and the only life she's ever known—to find herself on sale to the highest bidder. And that bidder? Enigmatic and dangerous, Luc is the director of The Aviary—an elite museum where girls are displayed as living art by day…and cater to the lascivious whims of the highest bidder by night. In this elaborate and competitive world, girls go by names like Raven and Nightingale, and will stop at nothing to become top Bird.

  Luc comes to idolize Serenity's purity and aims to turn her into his grandest exhibit of all time—The Swan. In no time, she becomes one of the most coveted exhibits in Aviary history. When she discovers Luc holds the key to finding her parents, she must learn to play The Swan to perfection…to win his heart and earn his trust. But she doesn't anticipate falling for him in the process. Now she faces an impossible choice: escape The Aviary and lose her only chance at finding her parents—or become Luc's Swan for good and lose her identity forever.
