“What the fuck did you do? You know you can’t fucken kill me.” She screamed at me, drenched in blood.
“You’d be surprised at what you can live through.” I told her before I made her arm explode. She let out an agonizing scream as the blood was squirting out of her shoulder.
While she was busy screaming and trying to get the blood to stop. I focused on the protection spell that was protecting her from death. The magic was powerful, and it caused me intense pain, but nothing could compare to having to say goodbye to your newborn. If I could kill her, all of her spells that have been cast would break. The others would be able to kill them.
I focused on the love I had for my mates, for our beautiful baby and for our friends that are now my family. I focused on the love and happiness my mates gave me. The love I had for our baby boy.
The spell broke with so much force that both of us were thrown into the walls on the opposite sides of the room. The blast knocked Morgan out. I looked over at her, closing my hand. She exploded with a loud pop.
One down, only three more to go.
Sage
I was talking with Delta Dylan outside my tent. I was growing frustrated with the fact that I couldn’t trace Ashlyn. They must have magic protecting the location.
“So, what do you want to do?” He asked me, and I let out a sigh.
“Is there anything that we can do? We need more warriors. We don’t know what we are walking into and if they have anymore dragons. Without Derek relaying to us what happened in the sky, we are walking blind.” And it was his turn to sigh.
“We should go eat something and wait for orders. Someone has to know something.” He said, and I nodded. Not that I think I will eat anything. My sister and nephew are in a shark tank and I can’t do anything to help protect them.
“The Fae King should be here soon. Nathan texted me, informing me that Mason told him they had taken the Fae Princess. I don’t have anymore details other than that he called King Jordan, and he’s on his way here now.” I told him and he nodded.
“Let’s find Brandon and wait. That’s all we can do.” he said, sounding as defended as I felt.
Delta Dylan turned to walk away from the tent, but before I could follow, I heard shuffling coming from inside. I knew the tent was empty. Dylan turned around to face me. He must have heard it as well. I held up my finger to silence him. I knew no one was in the tent. My mom was keeping busy in the kitchen tent.
Dylan and I slowly approached the door flap of the tent. We stopped, listening closely to see if we could make out who would be in the tent.
“Tunra, Queen Ashy.” A little girl was crying. Dylan seemed to have heard it too, as I looked over at him. I pulled back the corner of the flap and peaked inside. I was stunned to see Aurora and Tundra in the tent. Tundra jumped onto Ashlyn’s old cot and placed something down.
“Go get Brandon.” I mouthed to Dylan. He nodded and took off running towards the middle of the camp.
Tundra let out a growl when I opened the flap and stepped into the tent. She jumped off the cot, standing between me and Aurora, protecting the little girl.
“Tundra, it’s just me. Where’s Ashlyn?” I asked her, walking into the tent slowly.
“Queen Ashy said she is protecting us.” Aurora sobbed out. I knelt down in front of both of them.
“Princess, are you okay? Did they hurt you?” I asked her softly. She shook her head.
“No, I think they hurt Queen Ashy.” She said, while wiping her snotty nose on her sleeve.
“Why do you say that?” I asked her. She was four years old, but she was smart. I knew she could give us some details about what was going on.
“I don’t know, there was blood in the bathtub and Queen Ashy was covered in it.” She answered through her sniffles.
“Tundra, what is she talking about?” I asked Ashlyn’s wolf. I was very concerned for my sister, and knots were forming in my stomach over the potential scenarios.
“She has a baby.” Aurora blurted out. She walked behind Tundra, over to the cot, and was staring at the bundle that I saw Tundra place on Ashlyn’s cot. I looked at Tundra, confused. Baby? What baby?
“Tundra, I’m going to need you to explain. What baby?” I asked the wolf. She turned around, jumping onto the cot and laid down beside the bundle. I crawled over to where Aurora was standing beside the cot and looked down at the little face, sleeping peacefully. Tundra licked the little bundle, and I let out a gasp.
“How?” I gasped out.
“She gifted him the gift of life.” Tundra said.
“This is her baby?” I stuttered out.
“It’s a boy!” Aurora exclaimed.
“It’s a boy.” I giggled. He is the cutest baby I’ve ever seen, and he’s my nephew. I stood up and held out my free hand to Aurora.
“Let’s go find your daddy.” I told her. Her face lit up, and she immediately took my hand.
“Tundra, watch over your pup. I’ll be right back.” I told her. She snuggled herself into her pup and closed her eyes. I knew no one was getting out of this tent alive if they tried to hurt her pup.
I led Aurora out of the tent and it didn’t take long before we saw a group of warriors running towards the tent. Brandon was in the lead, and to my surprise, Mason and Derek were following behind him. I didn’t even know that Derek was awake yet.
“Daddy!” Aurora squealed out when she saw her father was in the group that was running towards us. King Jordan ran up to his daughter, scooping her up into his arms, holding her tight.
As soon as Brandon approached me, and our eyes met, I knew he was my mate. But how?
“Mate,” Brandon whispered.
“I don’t understand,” I said. He closed the distance between us.
“Ashlyn,” he breathed out, resting his forehead against mine. I could feel the sparks and tingles from where our bodies made contact.
“When?” I asked him, but he didn’t get a chance to answer.
“How?” King Jordan asked me. I could hear the relief in his voice.
“Queen Ashy, daddy.” Aurora answered for me. She was holding on to his cheeks with her tiny hands.
“Is she here?” Mason rushed out, and I shook my head.
“Daddy, Queen Ashy has a baby, just like mommy.” Aurora announced, and now everyone was looking at me.
“Baby?” Derek stuttered out.
“Mason, Derek, please try to stay calm. I didn’t just find Princess Aurora in the tent.” I started to say.
“Tunra came with me.” Aurora blurted out.
“How can Tundra be here but not Ashlyn?” Mason rushed out and I could tell that he was frustrated about this situation.
“Tundra was told to not only protect Princess Aurora, but she is also protecting her pup.” I told them.
“Ashlyn gave birth?” Liam stuttered out, and I nodded.
“What’s going on?” King Jordan asked and I sighed.
“When Ashlyn disappeared yesterday, she was only around six weeks pregnant.” I told him and his eyes went wide with shock.
“Where is he?” Derek asked.
“He’s with Tundra, but I need you both to be calm. He’s sleeping and Tundra is running in overdrive to protect her pup.” I explained, and they both nodded.
“Mason, Derek, come meet your son.” I said, motioning for them to follow me into the tent. Tundra immediately lifted her head and let out a growl in warning.
“It’s just me and your mates,” I whispered. Tundra was still watching us closely as we approached the cot.
“How?” Mason asked while he looked down at his sleeping baby.
“Ashlyn gifted him with the gift of life.” I told him. The tears were building in his eyes as he stared down at his son.
“He’s perfect,” Derek whispered. He kneeled down on the ground beside the cot, leaning over his son.
Mason surprised me by sitting down on my cot. He started crying into his hands. I sat down beside him, rubbing his back. I knew that this was going to be tough. Ashlyn should be here.
“Mason, it’s okay.” I whispered to him. I don’t think I truly believed my own words, but I didn’t know what to say.
“Sage, Ashlyn dreamwalked to us last night,” he cried out, and I gasped.
“Wait, you saw her?” I asked him and he nodded into his hands.
“It’s how I’m alive,” Derek told me. He was sitting on the cot now, beside Tundra, cradling his baby in his arms. Tears swelled in my eyes, Ashlyn was missing this first moment.
“Did she say anything?” I turned my attention back to Mason.
“She gifted Derek with healing and me with strength. She told me she was going to save our pup and the princess. I didn’t understand what she was talking about until I saw him. She believes she’s not coming home.” he sobbed. I turned to look at Derek and he also had tears running down his face.
I traded places with Derek. He was cradling their baby in one arm and holding Mason with the other. Mason was sobbing on his shoulder. I sat down beside Tundra, rubbing her fur. I was trying to be strong, but I was quickly falling apart. She’s giving up her life to save us. She gifted me a mate bond, so that I could share my life with someone who I love. And she knew that her duty might bring the ultimate sacrifice, and she was willing to pay as long as we were all safe.
I left the tent, giving Mason and Derek some time with their son. Brandon was standing outside talking with Liam, my brother, Matt, and Delta Dylan.
When I met Brandon’s eyes, all my willpower was gone. I broke down into sobs. He quickly wrapped his arms around me and I cried into his chest.
“Babe, what’s wrong?” Brandon whispered.
“She’s not coming back.” I mumbled into his chest.
“Ashlyn?” I heard Liam ask, and I nodded.
“Babe, what are you saying? Where’s Ashlyn?” Brandon asked me and I looked up at him.
“She gifted her son the gift of life. That’s how he was born this morning. Tundra is here to protect him. Ashlyn doesn’t believe that she’s coming home.” And it all made sense. She gifted Mason our mate bond because she knew she wouldn’t be able to give it to us.
“Brandon, you and Sage watch over our boy. Derek and I have a mate to save,” Mason announced. He was outside the tent, with Derek standing beside him. I could tell that they both had been crying, but they were now furious at the potential loss of their mate, the mother of their child.
