“Oh, thank the goddess. Are you okay?” He rushed out.
“Liam, what happened?” I moaned out. My whole body ached while I tried to move. I was lying on my stomach, on this hard, icy surface.
“The floor gave out. Does anything feel broken?” He asked, trying to help me up. I sat back on my heels, looking at him.
“Shit, you cut your forehead.” He said. I reached up and winced when I found the cut. The sticky must be blood.
“I called Mason. He should be here soon.” Liam told me and I groaned.
“I wish you hadn’t done that.” I breathed out.
“What? Why?” He asked me, helping me to stand on my feet.
“Because I already have a massive headache and all he is going to do is scold me like a child.” I told him as I stood up on shaky legs.
“Ashlyn, I’m not sure what happened, but I know Mason loves you. He just wants you safe.” Liam tried to defend his friend.
“No, he wants me locked at home. He and Derek can do whatever they want. They don’t even need to tell me where they are even going. But me, I have eleven warriors around me at all times. So, it’s not about safety, it’s about control.” I vented.
“Lets just get you out of here. I need to clean that cut.” Liam said.
“Did you at least have the books?” I asked him, as he led me over to a ladder.
“Yes, I got the books. Can you climb?” He asked me, and I nodded. I just wanted to get out of here.
“You go first, just in case. If you are having any trouble, I’ll carry you.” He said before I started climbing, and Liam’s face was in my ass the whole time.
I was trying to take my time as my entire body was screaming at me to stop and my head felt like it might explode. I had to stop to rest a few times, as I was quickly winded.
“Take your time, Ashlyn. You fell a few stories high.” Liam would tell me when I needed to rest. I was hoping to get out of here and home before Mason or Derek showed up. I knew Mason would have called Derek, and I didn’t need the scolding that I knew was coming.
Finally, I made it to the top. The man in the white hardhat helped me up and Liam was right behind me. Liam grabbed my waist from behind to steady me when I felt like I was going to fall. I felt dizzy, and the room was spinning.
“I have a medical team outside,” the man spoke.
“Ashlyn, do you need me to carry you?” Liam whispered in my ear.
“I’m okay, Liam.” I told him. We followed the man out of the building and Liam led me over to the ambulance that was waiting in the driveway. I sat down on the steps of the ambulance while a medic cleaned up my wound and my face. Covered in dust and dirt. And I’m sure I looked like a hot mess with my face covered in blood.
“My queen, you are going to need stitches.” One medic informed me.
“Do what you need to do,” I told them.
“But my queen, we don’t have any numbing.” He told me.
“I’m stronger than I look.” I told him.
“Can you hold this to your forehead, applying pressure? I Just need to get the stitch kit.” He said, and I nodded. Wincing at the throbbing behind my eyes.
“Are you okay?” Liam asked me, while I did what the medic asked me.
“Yeah, I just have a headache,” I answered.
“My queen, you also have a concussion.” The medic called out from the back of the ambulance.
Before I could even get stitched up, Mason finally showed up. And I was glad that Derek wasn’t with him. My head was still spinning, and I was ready to throw up.
“Ashlyn, what the hell happened?” Mason rushed out.
“Mason, it was an accident. We were just about to leave when the floor gave out.” Liam tried to explain, earning him a glare.
“I’ll deal with you later. You were supposed to keep her safe, not go along with her ridiculous ideas,” Mason growled out.
“Liam, where are the books?” I asked him, ignoring Mason.
“I’ll get them for you.” Liam said before he rushed off.
“Books? You went into that building for books? Are you fucken kidding me?” Mason yelled out.
“Is it true that Theo planned on taking out all the other kingdoms?” I asked him and he looked at me, stunned.
“How do you know that?” He asked me.
“Is it true?” I asked him again, and he looked away.
“If you came here just to scold me about my safety, then you can save the lecture. You and Derek can do whatever you want, but I have to play the good little stay-at-home mommy.” I told him. Liam came back and handed me the books we had collected.
“Now, I’m going home.” I told him, moving around him. I felt dizzy, and all I wanted to do was throw up and lay down, but I would not show him any weakness.
“My queen, you still need stitches,” the medic called out.
“I’m sure it will be fine. Thank you.” I told him.
“Ashlyn!” Mason growled out.
“Fuck off, Mason. Why the fuck are you even here?” I growled at him. I noticed the man was talking to Liam.
“Mason, they found something.” Liam told him.
“Liam, what did they find?” I asked him. I was curious, but then I remembered I had more important things. Both Liam and Mason looked at me.
“Nevermind, I’m sure you two can handle it. I wouldn’t want to get myself killed again.” I said before I opened up a portal. It closed before anyone else could step through. Sage was waiting on the porch with James on her hip.
“Ashlyn, what happened?” She rushed over to me. I couldn’t take James, so I just gave him a kiss.
“I fell. It’s no big deal,” I told her, heading to the house.
“Ashlyn, you’re covered in blood. And you have a gash on your forehead.” Sage rushed out, following me up to my room.
“I know, and I’m fine.” I tried to reassure her. Before I went to start the shower, I put the books on top of the dresser.
“Ashlyn, where are Derek and Mason?” Sage called out.
“Mason is at the council building. I guess they found something. And I haven’t seen Derek,” I told her.
“I’m just going to shower and then I’ll be down to take care of James and make dinner. Arthur and Victor are coming for dinner,” I told her.
“Do you need help?” She asked me and I shook my head.
