“Why would you help me?” I asked suspiciously.
“First, we are family. And second, it’s technically my job. But it’s mostly because we are family,” he said with a smile.
“I need to know how to open a portal?” I cut right to the chase.
“A portal? Why?” He asked.
“That’s not really your concern. Are you willing to help me or not?” I asked him.
“Sure, we can start after the meeting. It should start soon. Would you like me to show you where it’s being held?” He asked.
“Fine.” I breathed out. He stood up and walked to the library door, and I followed him.
It didn’t take us long to get to the council meeting room. It was a massive sunroom-like structure with a large round table in the middle. I noticed it was snowing, and we had received some snow over night. There was a large crystal chandelier hanging over the table.
As soon as I entered the room, a bright light engulfed me. When it vanished, I was standing in my gold lace dress. But the lace was now black instead of white. There were a lot of gasps, but I just ignored them. I couldn’t explain this, and I wasn’t even going to try.
Arthur came over to me and led me to a chair to sit down. I noticed that everyone who was seated had a royal title. Brandon, Liam and Matt were not present.
Both Mason and Derek were watching me intently, while everyone sat around, looking at each other awkwardly. It was Derek’s father that broke the silence.
“Ashlyn, I’d like to apologize for yesterday. I didn’t realize…” he started, but I held up my hand to stop him.
“You didn’t realize it because you were never told. You have nothing to apologize for,” I told him. I turned my attention to the Vampire King.
“King Theo, I need to inform you. I believe your grandfather is working with the enemy,” I told him.
“And you have proof?” He demanded.
“I dreamwalked into a meeting he was having with my grandmother. The woman is trying to kill me and take over as Queen.” I explained, and the Vampire Queen gasped.
“What is your plan?” The Fae King asked.
“I’m giving you 72 hours to pull him out of there or I won’t be responsible for what happens to him. They are hiding in the former Emerald Lake pack lands. I will head out there personally to handle this matter.” I told him.
“And what happens when this matter is settled?” Nathan asked me.
“Unless it’s a life or death situation, you don’t need me. I’m here to get justice for my parents and pack. She is also planning on starting a war to become queen. So the war would also be stopped, and it would restore peace.” I explained.
“Ashlyn, you can’t leave,” Mason told me.
“I can and I will after this matter is closed. You will stay on to inherit the werewolf kingdom. Every kingdom has a representative. I don’t need to be here.” I told him.
“Ashlyn, you are not going there alone. I know you’re upset, but that is suicidal.” Sage said.
“Then I guess everyone’s problems would be solved.” I shrugged.
“Daughter, you are not going and that’s final,” Gregory yelled.
“Let me make this perfectly clear. You are my sperm donor. My father died with my pack that day.” I growled.
“What? You’re a witch?” King Theo gasped.
“I’m a hybrid, but I’m sure the former Warlock King could answer all your questions on that matter.” I told him.
“Ashlyn, you don’t even know how to use your magic,” Derek said, speaking to me for the first time since arriving here.
“Thanks for having so little faith in my abilities. But since you must know, King Nathan has offered to help me with the use of my magic and I’ve accepted his offer.” I told Derek.
“Nathan, are you out of your mind? You will send our sister to her death!” Sage yelled at her brother.
“I can’t be the only one in this room that actually believes that she can do this? Can I? Not only will she be a powerful witch, but she is a powerful wolf. She is also blessed by the moon goddess and stands above all of us.” Nathan praised me.
“Of course, I believe in her! I just don’t want her to die trying to prove something that she doesn’t have to.” Derek yelled.
“It doesn’t matter if all of you or none of you believe in me. I’m not asking for permission. I’m telling you what is going to happen. King Theo, you have 72 hours to get your grandfather out of there.” I spoke.
“My Queen, I’ll forward all the information to you on this matter. And please believe that he is not representing the vampire kingdom with his actions.” King Theo spoke.
“Thank you. I really appreciate your help in clearing up this matter.” I nodded to him.
“Now, if no one has anymore questions for me. I’ll take my leave.” I told them, standing.
“My Queen. Princess Aurora has been asking to see you and I was wondering if….” The Fae Queen started.
“I would love to see her. I’ll be in the library, if you’d like to bring her by.” I smiled at her.
“Thank you, my Queen.” She bowed her head.
“Please, call me Ashlyn.” I told her and she nodded.
“Now, if you all would excuse me.”
“Ashlyn, you can’t just make these decisions without discussing them with your mates first,” Derek said before I could leave the table.
“I’m a Queen, I don’t need permission. If you don’t like my decision, take it up with the moon goddess,” I told him.
I moved away from the table when Mason stopped me.
“I understand that you’re upset, but you need to listen to us,” Mason pleaded.
“I can make my own decisions and choices when it comes to my life. The sooner you all accept that, the happier everyone will be. I’m not a weak little girl. I will do this, because I have to. And I’m doing this regardless of what any of you think, so you’re with me or you can leave.” I told him before I left the meeting.
Bigger Picture
Mason
When Ashlyn entered the meeting room, a bright light consumed her. When it vanished, she was standing in her lace dress. But what made me gasp was the lace was no longer white but black. The rose gold in her hair was also black. I looked over at Derek and Sage. They both seemed to think the same thing I was.
After the meeting, to say the shit hit the fan would have been an understatement. Everyone was yelling, and it clearly divided the council about what Ashlyn was proposing. King Nathan, the Vampire kingdom and the Fae Kingdom seem in favor of our Queen’s plan.
“Why are you all so against our Queen?” The Fae Queen asked.
“We aren’t against her. We love her and we won’t let her die. She has almost died on multiple occasions already.” I answered her.
“No offense, Prince Mason, but if her mates and friends would stop hurting her, and start believing in her, maybe she would trust you.” She told us and I sighed.
