“Okay, just explain it to Ashlyn, so she knows why. I don’t want her thinking that she is doing something wrong.” I told him and he nodded.

“Liam, can you bring Ashlyn to the meeting when she’s done?” I asked him.

“Yeah, boss.” He answered, as I looked over at Sage.

“We should probably get in there before they start killing each other.” I told her, standing up from the couch. Derek, Sage, and I made our way to the meeting room, and I was definitely preparing myself for the worst.

Broken Arrangement

Mason

Derek, Sage, and I didn’t even make it to the meeting room. My father mindlinked me to tell me that the Warlock King and Vampire king were out front punching it out. Sighing, I turned to speak to them.

“I guess your father and the vampire king are already out front punching it out.” I told them and we made our way to the front door. I mindlinked Liam to let him know we were out front instead of in the meeting room.

We weren’t even in the foyer yet, and we could hear them shouting at each other.

“Damn it, dad.” Sage cursed her father. We crossed the foyer to the front door. As we walked outside, we found the two kings punching each other.

My father, Derek’s father, King Theo and King Nathan are all trying to pull them apart. King Theo wasn’t wrong about his father’s anger. He looked like he was going to kill King Gregory.

We walked over to the scene, and Derek let out a loud whistle. King Draco and King Gregory looked towards us and the others pulled them apart.

“Dad, what the hell are you doing?” Sage asked her father.

“He started it!” He pointed to the Vampire king, and he growled.

“You started it when you broke our agreement!” King Draco yelled back.

“Dad, what was the agreement?” Derek asked his father, who was still holding the vampire king back from King Gregory.

“The agreement was that we let Kathryn choose, and she was with James. Whoever she chose would also have to step down from the council and give up their crown,” Victor answered.

“Kathryn chose, she was with James and he stepped down. So what’s the problem?” I asked King Draco.

“He fucken slept with her! That’s the fucken problem! We all agreed to give her up!” The Vampire king was shaking in his rage and his son was trying to calm him down.

“You would have done the same thing if you were in my position. Don’t act like you would have denied her!” King Gregory countered.

“Will you two just stop?” I yelled at them, shaking my head. This wasn’t about them, it was about Ashlyn.

“You two are literally fighting over someone who is dead. She’s not here to tell her side of the story. But the most important part of all of this is Ashlyn. King Draco, if they didn’t do what they did, our Queen wouldn’t be here.” Derek told them. And I had to agree.

“Regardless of the why, it happened. And I know you’re upset, King Draco. I would be, if I were in your position, but you need to put your own personal feelings aside.” I told him.

“Son, you need to reject your chosen mate and take your fated mate.” King Draco turned to speak to his son. Derek and I both let out a murderous growl. It’s bad enough I have to share her with Derek.

“Father, that’s not happening. I love Violet.” He told his father.

“King Theo is right. It’s not happening. She has Derek and me. And Ashlyn would never go for that. King Theo has already made his choice.” I told the vampire king.

“The only reason he chose her was because we thought his fated mate was dead! And that bastard knew she wasn’t!” He yelled to the warlock king.

“That may be true, but that doesn’t change the fact that he has made his choice.” I told him.

“Why can’t you all see that I was protecting her? She’s a witch. If her magic becomes corrupt, there is no hope for us. I kept her hidden to keep her safe and that fucken Alpha had to fuck up the entire plan.” King Gregory yelled out.

And now my mind was racing. What Alpha? Ian? How would he have known about his and Ashlyn’s relationship? What the hell is going on?

“You gave Ashlyn the love potion?” Sage asked her father.

“Yes, and that fucker had to let her find him cheating.” He said, and I growled.

“What the hell is wrong with you? Breaking that spell almost killed her!” I yelled.

“I didn’t think she would ever find you, let alone that dragon prince. I was hoping she would have a normal life away from all of this.” He defended.

As much as it hurts to think of her with someone else, I can understand his reasoning. Ever since I’ve met her, it seems she has been constantly a target. Her being in Silver Moon and, with me, put a target on her back. If she had just stayed in Blue Moon, they probably would never have found her.

“Don’t sound so selfless. You hid her away because you didn’t want to go to war.” King Draco told him.

“Father, there will be no war. This is between the two of you personally. King Nathan and I have nothing to do with this matter, and I refuse to go to war with him.” King Theo said, challenging his father.

“The magic kingdom will not go to war over this. Besides, we have bigger problems to deal with,” King Nathan said.

“Did you place the spell that suppressed my mate’s bond with Ashlyn?” I asked the Warlock King.

“What? Why would you think that?” He asked me, stunned.

“Dad, it makes sense. You didn’t want her with her fated mates,” Sage told him.

“I would never have done that! That spell could have killed her and Prince Mason. I would never have risked her life,” he explained.

“So, who would be powerful enough to place that spell?” I asked him. And he sighed.

“There’s only one person I can think of, and if she’s on the other side, we are in for a battle.” He told us.

“What the hell is going on?” King Draco asked, confused.

“Father, we think Grandfather is involved with the person who’s after Ashlyn,” King Theo explained.

“And the proof?” He growled.

“Ashlyn dreamwalked into one of their meetings. She identified the man her grandmother was speaking to as being your father, King Draco.” Sage answered him and he was shocked.

We turned our attention to the front door when we heard it open. Ashlyn walked out wearing jeans and a long-sleeved shirt with a scooped neckline. Derek’s and my marks were on display, and it made me smile.

She walked over to us, rubbing her arms from the cold. She stepped in between Derek and me, and Derek stepped behind her, wrapping his arms around her.

“Better, Babygirl?” He asked her, while leaning down into her neck.

“Yes, thank you.” she told him with a smile.

“How are you feeling?” I asked her.

“Tired. What is going on out here?” She asked.

“Ashlyn, this is my father, King Draco.” King Theo introduced them.

“My, you look so much like your mother,” King Draco told her.

“Thank you. I’ve been getting that a lot lately.” She said, giving him a smile.

“But why are we having this meeting outside? And why do you have a split lip?” Ashlyn asked, confused.

“I had a score to settle with your father.” King Draco growled out, looking at the warlock King.

“Should we give you two a few more minutes? He doesn’t seem bloody enough?” She asked the vampire king, and we were all shocked except for Sage, who started laughing.

“You may look like your mother, but you sound just like James,” King Draco laughed.

“James will always be my father. He’s the one who raised me, even if he didn’t know that I wasn’t his.” She told him, and Derek squeezed her. We both knew this was a touchy subject for her.

“That’s not fair, Ashlyn. Your mother and I were trying to protect you,” he retorted. Her comments clearly hurt him.

“It doesn’t change the fact that James raised me. Both of you should have given him a choice, but you didn’t.” She told him.

“He was also the one that gave you and Ian the love potion,” Sage told her, and I glared at Sage.

“What?” she stuttered out.

“I was trying to give you a normal life.” He sighed.

She pulled away from Derek and walked right up to the Warlock King. She was just about to slip him across the face, but he grabbed her wrist. Her eyes turned white as she gasped out.

“What the hell is going on?” I yelled at Sage.

“I don’t know.” She yelled back.

Ashlyn’s eyes closed, and whatever it was threw her through the air backwards. She hit the ground with a thud, rolling until she hit a boulder in the garden. Derek and I both ran over to her.

She was unconscious and I could feel that some of her ribs were broken. I was screaming her name, trying to wake her. What the hell just happened?

“Sage, we need a portal!” I yelled at her. I scooped up Ashlyn carefully, holding her close to my chest. Everyone was around us when I stood up. Derek walked over to King Gregory and punched him in the face.

“If anything happens to her, you’re the first one I’m coming for!” Derek yelled. And I was just as furious.

“I did nothing!” King Gregory yelled out, while getting up off the ground.

“Do you think that I’d hurt my blood?” He screamed.

“Sage?” I turned to her. And she nodded. She grabbed my hand, and I thought of the outside of our pack hospital. She opened a portal, and I stepped through, carrying Ashlyn.

Derek was beside me, and we rushed her into the ER.
