“Could that have been the reason she was calling you?” I asked, just when his phone rang again. He had placed it on the coffee table and the three of us were now starting at it.
“It’s Chantel again,” Matt announced after picking up Derek’s phone.
I’m not sure how ranking works with dragons, but I’m assuming Matt is like Derek’s Beta. Matt answered the phone and put it on speaker.
“Derek’s phone.”
“Matt, put Derek on the phone now.” She growled.
“He’s busy right now. What is this about?” Matt asked.
“Matt, I know he is there! This is important.” She yelled.
“Chantel, what do you want?” Derek growled out.
“Derek, I’m pregnant with your child. So stop playing house with this fake mate of yours and come home.” She told him. And I even wanted to throw up at her words.
It devastated Ashlyn over her miscarriage, and now one of her mates is having a baby with someone else. I knew Derek was a player; I didn’t realize he was an idiot.
“Are you sure?” Matt asked her.
“Of course, I’m sure, Matt! I would know who the father is of my unborn child.” She yelled.
“Derek, you better get your ass home, or I’ll tell your father about his future grandchild and heir.” She threatened. Derek was shaking, he was clearly in shock.
“He’ll call you back.” Matt told her and hung up, not giving her a chance to say anything more.
I started rubbing Derek’s back to calm him down. He was leaning forward, resting his head in his hands. He was cursing and growling about what he had just heard.
The elevator dinged, Brandon and Sage stepped out while Liam walked in from the hall.
“Great, what the fuck happened now?” Liam exclaimed while throwing his hands up.
“Now?” Sage and Brandon asked together.
“Derek’s ex called back to tell him she is pregnant with his kid.” Matt answered. Liam growled and Sage gasped.
“Does Ashlyn know?” She asked. And Derek shook his head.
“So this ex called earlier and Ashlyn answered the phone. This ex told Ashlyn that she was Derek’s mate, correct?” Sage asked. And we all nodded.
“And now said ex is claiming to be pregnant with your child and Ashlyn doesn’t know that part?” She asked Derek, but it was Matt and I that nodded.
“Where is she?” Sage asked.
“She locked herself in her old room,” Liam told her, and she walked off in that direction.
“Are you fucken serious right now, Derek?” Liam growled.
“What? Was I supposed to save myself for a mate that I was told was dead?” He yelled, glaring at Liam.
“You could have at least wrapped it up?” Matt shrugged.
“I did! Every fucken time. Do you think I wanted to have a kid with someone who I didn’t choose as my mate?” Derek was up and pacing the living room when Sage ran in from the hall.
“Ashlyn isn’t in her room.” She panted.
“What?” we all exclaimed. There was nowhere she could go that we wouldn’t have seen her.
We all rushed to her room, and she was nowhere to be found. I tried to link her, but she was blocking me. How could anyone even get in here?
“I can’t link her.” I told them, panicked.
“Has anyone seen this room besides us?” Sage questioned.
“No, why?” I asked.
“It means no one could portal in. They have to see where they are going.” She answered.
“What about the balcony?” Liam asked, and I cursed. The fucken balcony! I opened the door and walked onto the balcony. She wasn’t out there either.
“Someone could portal here.” Sage confirmed my fears.
“Was the door locked?” Brandon asked. And I shook my head. It wasn’t locked and someone could have opened a portal and taken her.
Before we had time to think of a plan, my phone started ringing in my pocket. I pulled it out to see that my father was calling me. He must be at the council building if he was calling and not mindlinking.
“Father, I can’t….”
“Son, why is there a huge angry gold wolf staring at me? And where the hell is her protection?” He growled.
“Where are you?” I rushed out.
“I’m at the council building.” I sighed out in relief.
“She is safe. Get everything in order and meet us here.” He told me before ending the call.
“What?” Derek asked, worried.
“She’s at the council building.” I told them.
“How the hell did she get there? It’s over four hours away?” Brandon exclaimed, and I shrugged. I didn’t know how she got there or why she would even go there. And how the hell did she get out of the apartment?
“I don’t know, but she’s safe. She’s with my father, and the building is heavily guarded. Let’s get packed and then we can portal over there. Sage, can you pack a bag for Ashlyn?” I asked her.
“Yeah, I’ll pack for her.” She answered, while heading into Ashlyn’s closet.
We all walked out to get our shit together, but I could see that Derek was about to break down. He knew he could lose Ashlyn over this entire situation, mark or no mark.
Ashlyn
Tundra walked up to the front gates of the council building. It looked like an ancient castle surrounded by a beautiful garden. The gate wrapped around the property was heavily guarded.
“Is the Alpha King here?” Tundra spoke out loud to the warriors manning the front gate.
“What?” one man stuttered out. Tundra sat down with a huff. Tundra reached out to the mind of the king until we could speak to him.
