“Arthur, Tundra is at the front gate.” I told him.
Tundra sat there waiting for the Alpha King. Every time a warrior tried to approach her, she would growl, causing them to step back. It took him a few minutes until we saw him walking down the driveway towards the gates.
The gates opened, and the king walked towards Tundra. Tundra bowed her head to him, in a sign of respect for our current king.
“Ashlyn, what are you doing here? Where is Mason?” He asked. Tundra huffed and shook her head.
“Come on then, let’s get you inside and find some clothes so you can shift back.” He said. Tundra followed him up the driveway and into the castle. As soon as Tundra stepped through the doorway, something forced her to shift and, thank the goddess, I wasn’t naked.
I was now standing in the foyer, in my gold and white lace dress. I didn’t realize that council members had already arrived, and they greeted me with gasps from everyone in the foyer, including our king.
“Ashlyn, are you okay?” He asked with concern, just before a little girl ran up to me with tears in her eyes. She wrapped her little arms around my legs, sobbing into my dress.
“My Queen, I’m so sorry.” A woman came up to me, trying to pull the child away.
“It’s okay.” I rested my hand on the little girl’s head to comfort her.
“Ashlyn, this is the Fae Queen, Melanie.” The king introduced us.
“Please don’t take away my daddy?” The little girl cried out, looking up at me with tears running down her face. I knelt down, so I was eye level with her.
“What would make you think that?” I asked her softly, brushing away her tears.
“Mommy said the Queen would claim daddy and he would leave us. They were fighting.” She sniffed.
“And is this your mommy?” I asked her, pointing to the Fae Queen. And she nodded. I could tell the Fae Queen was uncomfortable, but she said nothing.
“What’s your name, sweetheart?” I asked her.
“Aurora.” She sniffed, wiping her nose on her hand.
“Aurora, do you believe I’m the Queen?” I asked her, and she nodded.
“You’re wearing a crown?” She said, pointing to my head, and I reached my hand up to indeed wear a crown.
“Aurora, I would never take your daddy away from you or your mommy.” I told her with a smile.
“Really?” she gasped.
“I promise.” I told her and she wrapped her little arms around me in a big hug and I hugged her back, just as tightly.
When Aurora pulled away, I kissed her forehead, causing a gold light to appear. It started where my lips touched her skin and made its way down to her feet and disappeared.
“My Queen,” her mother gasped.
“My Queen, you blessed our daughter.” The Fae King spoke while walking up beside his Queen.
“Queen?” Aurora asked shyly.
“Yes, Aurora?”
“Would you like to color with me?” she asked me and I smiled.
“I would love to color with you.” I told her and her face lit up with the biggest grin.
“I’ll have someone set something up in the library.” Arthur told me, and I nodded. I stood up, Aurora taking my hand in her small one, and I was holding back my tears.
“Is it alright if I take Aurora to go color?” I asked her parents.
“Of course, my Queen,” The Fae King answered. He was a very handsome man. Dark skin, purple eyes and shoulder-length dark brown hair. He would have been one of my mates, but I could see that he had made his choice and they shared a beautiful little girl together.
The Alpha King pointed me in the library’s direction, but before we could start our walk, the Fae Queen grabbed my other hand.
“My Queen?” She looked concerned.
“Melanie, don’t.” Her mate warned her.
“What is it?” I asked her. And I could tell that she was nervous about what she wanted to ask me.
“About my mate…” she started, but I interrupted her.
“He’s made his choice, and I would never take that away from him. You have a beautiful family, and I promise I will never come between you and your mate.” I reassured her, and she nodded.
“Come on, Queen.” Aurora whined out, pulling on my arm.
“I’m coming.” I laughed at her.
Aurora and I walked together, hand in hand, to the library. I sat down at the desk and she climbed into my lap to sit with me. The coloring pages were all different fantasy characters.
“Do you have a favorite princess?” I asked her, while she passed me a picture of a dragon sitting on top of a castle. I smiled when I thought of Derek’s dragon, but then I frowned when I thought of Derek.
“I like the mermaid one.” She told me while she colored a picture of mermaids swimming.
“You wanna know a secret?” I whispered to her, and she nodded excitedly.
“When I was a little girl, I would dream about being a mermaid.” I told her and she gasped.
“Really? I do too!” She excitedly yelled at me.
“What color was your tail?” She turned in my lap to ask me.
“What color would you like it to be?” I asked her and she was thinking.
“Pink!” she exclaimed, turning back to face her picture. She was coloring away while I was watching her.
It broke my heart to think that I could have, one day, been doing this with my pup. They sit on my lap, coloring or playing with their toys. I needed this war to end so I could start living the life I wanted.

I grabbed Derek’s and my bag and went to sit with him in the living room while we waited for the others to be ready.
“How does dragon pregnancy work?” I asked him and he sighed.
“It’s around 20 weeks, the same as wolves.” He answered.
