“I like her already,” I laughed.
“I’m so relieved that you are okay, Ashlyn. And I can’t wait to actually see you.”
“Thank you, Ian. I’m so happy for you.” I heard a banging coming through the phone.
“Shit, Ashlyn, I have to go, but call or text whenever you need me.”
“Okay. Ian. Take care.” I told him before ending the call.
I lay in bed thinking about what Ian had told me about Theo. My mates made it seem like I gave up my life for Ian, but I actually gave up my life to stop the destruction of all the kingdoms. Even if the vampire kingdom was still standing after destroying all the others, it would have been a mess and countless lives would have been lost.
Sage entered the room carrying James, already dressed and ready for our day. He squealed and reached for me. I stood up, taking him from Sage.
“You okay?” she asked me, as we made our way down to the kitchen.
“I talked to Ian. He told me that Theo was planning on killing off the other kingdoms. Is that true?” I asked her and she sighed.
“Yes, it’s true.”
“So I didn’t just die because I saved Ian and Alex. I died trying to save the kingdoms.” I said, and she nodded.
We entered to find Liam playing on his phone. He was probably waiting for me, since I guess I now have a security team.
“Ashlyn, you should probably eat something. I can feed James.” Sage offered.
“Its fine, Sage. I can feed James, you eat.” I told her.
“Ashlyn, I can help.” Liam offered, and I just shook my head. After I finished making his bottle, I sat down at the table. Liam slid a muffin over to me.
“Matt made you muffins.” He shrugged.
“Have you guys seen my laptop or my new phone?” I asked them before taking a bite. It was double chocolate, and I wanted to bathe in it.
“I’m not sure. It’s probably in a box, or it could be in your closet,” Sage answered.
“Okay, I guess I’ll need a new phone. Later, I can find my laptop. I need to head over to the library when James is ready.” I told them.
“What are you looking for?” Liam asked me.
“I need to find something about our broken mate bond,” I answered.
“So you aren’t the one that broke the bond?” He asked me and I shook my head.
“No, I thought it broke when I died.” I told him.
“It broke before then. When we were at Blue Moon looking for you, Mason and Derek felt the bond break.” Liam answered.
“I didn’t break the bond. But I think I know when it broke.” I told him.
“Does James have a diaper bag?” I asked Sage.
“It’s by the door, Its already packed.” She answered. When James was done with his bottle, I rinsed it out before I started burping him.
“Okay, I’m ready to head out. I need to go speak to Arthur.” I told them before heading to the front door.
“Ashlyn, do you need me to come with you?” Sage asked, following me with Liam on our heels.
“I’ll be fine, Sage, but I might need you to watch James later. If you can, of course,” I told her.
“I’ll be here. I just had a few things to do around here, anyway.” She said.
“Thank you, Sage. I really appreciated it.” I told her, giving her a side hug.
“Liam, are you ready?” I asked him. He held the door open for me.
“After you, my lady,” he said, and I rolled my eyes. I walked out the front door to find a bunch of warriors. There must be at least ten of them.
“Liam, what the hell is going on?” I asked him.
“Language, my Queen,” he said, covering James’ ears with his hands.
“What is going on, Liam?” I growled out.
“This is the team,” he said, and I pushed my lips into a line.
“For the house?” I asked him and he shook his head.
“No, this is just for you and James. There are more around the property, and snipers on the roof.” He said, pointing up.
“Liam, this is too much.” I told him.
“Its orders, my queen,” he said.
“Call me queen one more time. I dare you.” I taunted him.
“Ashlyn, it’s nothing personal. We are just here to protect you and James,” Liam said.
“You are here to protect James. And I’m just going to the pack house to talk with Arthur. What the hell do you think is going to happen?” I asked him.
“The news of James’ birth is no longer a secret, and he is the heir of two kingdoms. And you are their queen. Can you just not fight me about this? Please?” he asked. And I felt guilty for snapping. He was just following orders.
“Liam, I’m sorry. I understand you are just following orders. Whatever you have planned is fine.” I told him.
“Ashlyn, it’s not just orders. I want both you and James to be safe,” he told me.
“Thanks Liam. Are the warriors ready?” I asked him.
“Whenever you are. That path leads to the pack house.” He said, pointing to a path just up from the driveway.
I threw the diaper bag over my shoulder and readjusted James. I had him sitting on my hip. He was alert and watching the world with his big sea-green eyes. I started walking. Liam was beside me and the other warriors circled around Liam, James and I. It was so weird having so many people around me. And as soon as we came upon the pack house, everyone stopped and stared. I felt uncomfortable under their gazes as we walked up to the pack house.
“Half of you surround the building, the other half come with us.” Liam commented. A few warriors entered before us and a few entered after us. The Alpha King doesn’t even have this much security around him. Ugh.
“Liam, were the offices moved here?” I asked him, following him up some stairs.
“We had to make some changes because of the location of the house. We moved some offices here, and we moved all the students out of the building, wanting to cut the traffic down. State-of-the-art cameras were also installed, and we upped security,” Liam explained as we walked into a foyer with a receptionist. She greeted us and I asked to see the King. She called him and pointed me in the right direction.
“I’ll be right back,” I told Liam. I walked over to the door and knocked. To my surprise, Arthur answered the door.
