“I’ll find him, I promise. Stay with my father.” He said, kissing my cheek before he ran off.
“Freya, go with him.” I yelled at her. She nodded and took to the sky again.
“Victor, are you okay?” I asked him, turning my attention to my father-in-law.
“Just a few burns, nothing I can’t handle.” He shrugged it off.
James snuggled into my chest, gripping him. I should never have left them alone. I thought they would be safe here.
Taking Victor’s hand, the bright white light returned to heal him. I should never have put him at risk. Guilt and worry churn violently in my stomach as I wait for Derek.
“Victor, can you tell me what happened?” I asked him, sitting beside him on the ambulance steps.
“I was sitting with James. Mason had gone to make a bottle, and then the room exploded. I protected James with my body, but I don’t know what happened to Mason.” He told me.
“Derek and Freya will find him. I can feel he’s alive.” I told him.
“I’m so sorry, my dear. I should have been able to protect them. This is my kingdom,” Victor said.
“It’s not your fault. Was anyone else hurt?” I asked him. I needed to do something. The wait was going to kill me.
“A few of the warriors. No casualties. That side of the castle had been cleared out to ensure your safety when you were here,” he said.
“Fuck. Who the hell could have done this?” I breathed out, frustrated by this whole mess.
“I don’t think it’s just vampires,” Victor answered.
“This is becoming exhausting,” I said, on the verge of tears.
“It will be okay, my dear.” Victor said, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.
“If anything happened to Mason, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself.” I cried.
“He will be okay. He’s strong for a wolf and his love for his family is even stronger. Whatever happens, he will pull through. He’s too stubborn to die.” Victor said.
Freya landed nearby and my anxiety picked up.
“Freya, where are they?” I yelled at her. She motioned with her head, pointing behind me. I rushed around the ambulance to see Derek helping Mason to walk. I rushed over to them and wrapped my arm around the other side of Mason.
My body glowed brightly again as I healed him. It burned most of his clothes and I could see it charred his chest from the blast.
“Baby,” Mason breathed out as soon as the light faded.
“Mason, I’m so sorry.” I cried, holding on to him the best I could while holding James. I never wanted to let any of them go ever again.
“Baby, I’m okay. I was just unconscious. Derek and Freya found me covered in snow.” Mason mumbled into my neck.
“Good thing for the snow. It helped stop the burning.” Derek said.
“We are going home now.” I told them, firmly. I was never leaving home again.
“I need to stay to help my father clean up this mess,” Derek said. Mason and I both pulled away from each other to look at him.
“You are coming home. I’m not losing you.” I told him.
“Babygirl, I have to. This is my kingdom and whoever did this threatened my family.” Derek answered, wrapping his arms around me.
“I need you three safe right now. This happened in my kingdom, and I won’t stand for it. Someone almost killed my mate and the heir to the dragon kingdom. Whoever did this just started a war.” Derek told us.
“Baby, Derek is right. He needs to take a stand,” Mason said.
“I can’t lose you.” I told him, on the verge of sobbing.
“Babygirl, I’ll be okay. I’ll be home soon. I just need to clean up this mess.” He said before kissing my forehead.
“I got them.” Mason told him.
“I know you do.” Derek said, before kissing him.
“I’m glad that you’re okay.” He told Mason, resting his forehead against his.
“Thanks for coming to my rescue,” Mason told him with a chuckle.
“Anytime.” Derek told him with a smirk.
“Derek, I don’t like this.” I told him, snuggling my face into his chest. James and Mason occupied all my arms.
“I know, babygirl. But I promise I’ll be careful. Now open up a portal and get to safety. I’ll call when I have news.” He said, kissing the top of my head.
I hesitated before I opened a portal; I did not want to leave Derek.
“Go, I’ll be home soon.” He said before pecking my lips.
“I love you.” He mumbled against my lips.
“I love you. Please be careful.” I told him.
“Come on baby, we need to get James home.” Mason said.
I opened a portal to the council building, Freya stepped back into me before Mason and I stepped through. Before the portal closed, I looked back at Derek. I blew him a kiss before the portal closed up. My stomach was in knots, knowing that I had just left my mate there.
Mason and I were standing in the garden out front of the building. He wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and snuggled his face into my neck.
“He’ll be okay, baby.” He mumbled.
“You don’t know that. I almost lost you and James today.” I told him, trying to hold back my sobs.
Sage ran out of the castle with everyone else on her heels. She stopped right in front of me, worry etched into her face.
“Ashlyn, what happened? Where’s Derek?” She asked, and I let out a whimper.
“There was an explosion at the dragon castle. James and I were there with Victor. Derek took Ashlyn into the city. Derek had to stay to clean up the mess.” Mason answered her, as I was unable to find my voice.
“Is James okay?” Sage rushed out, looking at James.
“I healed them both.” I breathed out.
“Come, let’s get you three inside. I’ll show you to your wing of the castle.” Sage said, and I nodded. Walking up to the door, I hesitated to enter the castle.
