"If Penelope is the vampire's mate and he is alive, is he no longer a threat? What will they do now?" Graeme asked, trying to envision it. But it was difficult. How could a creature who had lived for hundreds of years suddenly settle down with a mate and live a regular life? It seemed unlikely that those two would be able to stay out of trouble even together. Perhaps he was wrong.
"He is no longer a threat. I know that much, but I don't know what they will do. Penelope is pregnant."

"He is no longer a vampire," August reminded him.
"He will always be the vampire in my mind," he said. "Now he is simply a vampire with a beating heart."
August sighed, recalling the guilt that had kept Zagan from allowing them to heal him initially.
"How did Penelope give him life as his mate?"
