“And they need to see that they can trust me as well.” I told him, wrapping my arms around his waist.
“Baby, we are with you. Whatever you need.” Mason said, resting his head on my shoulder.
“I want all the warriors to stay here with James and Sage. And I’m going to do a protection spell before we leave.” I told them and they both nodded.
“Then get ready, I’ll go find Sage.”
Ashlyn
I went to the closet to retrieve a backpack and my hiking boots before I made my way out of our room. I needed to find Sage before packing some things that we might need. Finding Sage, Brandon, Liz and Nathan in the kitchen, I went into the pantry to fill up my bag.
“Sage, do we have flashlights?” I called out to her.
“I’ll find some.” Brandon answered.
“What are you doing?” Sage asked, leaning on the door frame.
“We are going to the council building. I’m going to place a protection spell over the house. Please stay with James?” I asked her, and she nodded.
“Of course, I’ll protect him with my life. But why are you going to the council building?” She asked me, confused.
“When I fell through the floor, I fell into some kind of room. Mason wasn’t sure what it was, and I came home to James. So I need to go check it out. I have to finish this so I can finally live in peace.” I told her.
“Are you sure you don’t want me there?” Sage asked me.
“I need you here with James. And if anything happens.” Sage put up her hand to stop me from finishing.
“You will make it back, and James and I will wait for you.” She said, and I nodded.
“Thank you Sage.” I told her, giving her a hug. We were still in the pantry when Brandon came back.
“Why are you two hugging in the pantry?” He asked us, confused. We pulled out of the hug and looked at him.
“Ashlyn is going to the council building. We are to protect James while she is gone.” Sage told him while he handed me the flashlights.
“And who is going with you?” Brandon asked as we moved out of the pantry and into the kitchen.
“Mason and Derek are coming with me. Everyone else has to stay here and protect the house. I’m also going to put a protection spell over the house.” I told him.
“Ashlyn, I should come with you.” Nathan said. He was sitting at the table with Liz.
“Nathan, I don’t think that’s a good idea. I don’t need to be responsible for another king dying.” I told him and he was about to protest when Liz chimed in.
“Son, she’s right. If anything were to happen to you, it would be another kingdom against her.”
“Fine, but I don’t like this. There could be anything down there.” Nathan huffed.
“I’ll be careful, I promise. I have all of you and James to come home, too.” I told them.
I placed my backpack by the front door before I went to check on James. He was still asleep, so I gave him a gentle kiss on his forehead.
“I love you, baby boy. So much.” I whispered, before leaving his room. I rushed downstairs, grabbing my bag before opening the door. Liam and Matt were waiting on the porch, and the other warriors spread out.
“Liam, can I borrow a claw?” I asked him. He raised an eyebrow at me.
“And how am I going to do that?” He asked me and I rolled my eyes.
“I need you to cut open my finger.” I told him and he looked at me, stunned. Walking closer to him, I held out my pointer finger.
“Please?” I asked him.
“Fine,” he sighed. His claws extended, and he pushed one into my finger, slicing it open.
“Thank you.” I told him before I rushed back over to the door.
I drew the protective witch’s knot on the door, forcing my magic out with my blood. A purple light worked its way out of the symbol until the light consumed the entire house. When I was done, I put my finger in my mouth to clean off the blood. I looked back to find Liam, Matt and the warriors that were out front, staring at me.
“Ashlyn, what the hell was that?” Liam asked me, in awe.
“I placed a protective spell around the house. No one should get in now.” I told them.
“Your eyes are purple,” Matt gasped out.
“Yeah, I guess that has something to do with the magic. I’m not really sure.” I shrugged.
“So where are we going, boss?” Liam asked me, as I swung the pack back over my back.
“You two are to stay here. Mason, Derek, and I are going to the council building.” I told them.
“Ashlyn, take some warriors with you.” Matt told me and I shook my head.
“James is the most important. Everyone will stay here and protect him. I have Mason and Derek with me.” I told them firmly. Liam was about to protest, but I raised my hand.
“No buts, Liam. I will be fine. This needs to end, so we can all move on with our lives.” I told him.
“You say that, but the last eight weeks were hell without you. Not just for Mason and Derek,” Liam said. I walked over to him and gave him a hug.
“I’m sorry, Liam. But this time, I promise I’m coming home.” I told him.
“You better. Your mates are unbearable without you.” He said, squeezing me tight. Derek cleared his throat behind me, making me let go of Liam.
“Unbearable?” Derek asked him, raising an eyebrow.
“Un-fucken-bearable.” Liam told him and I started laughing.
“It’s okay, sweetie. Without you, I would be pretty unbearable.” I told him. I walked over to him, patting my hand on his chest.
“What’s in the backpack?” He asked him.
“Food and water, also flashlights. You never know,” I shrugged.
“No clothes?” He asked me.
“Well, I don’t shift anymore and I’m okay with you and Mason walking around naked.” I told him, wiggling my eyebrows. Mason let out a groan. He was standing in the doorway, coming outside.
“You’re fucken mean.” He breathed out. Both Derek and I started laughing.
“Oh, come on, Mr. Unbearable. The faster we leave, the faster we get home.” I told him.
