And I nodded to her.
“I’ll print a photo and we’ll get you cleaned up so you can be on your way, my Queen.” She told me and I thanked her. How the hell was I going to tell my mates that I was pregnant? And how was I going to fight against Susan?
“This news can’t leave this room.” I told both of them.
“We will say nothing.” Dr. Connor reassured me, and Dr. Green nodded. Dr. Connor wiped off the gel, and I pulled my waist band back up over my still flat stomach.
Dr. Connor left the room while Dr. Green led me back to the exam room I was in earlier. He told me that Dr. Connor would be right back and that he’d text me with an appointment for next week. I thanked him and waited for Dr. Connor to return.
When she returned, she handed me a brown paper bag with vitamins and meds to help with the nausea.
She handed me the envelope with the photo of our baby after I put the bag in my purse. I also slid the envelope into my purse. I wanted to tell my mates first.
I met a worried-looking Liam in the waiting room.
“Is everything okay?” He asked me while we were walking out of the pack hospital.
“Yeah, of course. All the tests came back normal. I had to wait for a doctor from the magic kingdom. She explained that using too much magic when you’re not used to it can cause the symptoms I’ve been having.” I half lied.
“Okay, well, let’s get you home to rest. Sage would like to get a lesson in this evening,” he told me, and I nodded. I was feeling overwhelmed by the news I now had to share with my mates.
When we arrived back at the apartment, I immediately headed to my empty room. It was starting to just smell like me, and I hated it. I took that bag out of my purse and placed the pill bottles in a drawer in the bathroom. But before I put the vitamins away, I took one out and swallowed it down with some water from the sink.
I grabbed my phone before I laid down in bed. I texted my group chat with Mason and Derek after I was comfortable.
Me: how much longer do you think you guys will be gone?
Derek: a few more days and then we’ll be home. Is everything okay?
Me: just miss you guys. Be safe.
I placed my phone beside me on the bed and looked up at the ceiling.
“They will never let me out onto the battlefield.” I breathed out to myself.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you,” Tundra said.
“Why didn’t you?” I asked her.
“I knew you wanted to be there with our mates.”
“I understand, but now I have to figure out how I am going to convince our mates that I’m pregnant and not broken.”
Ashlyn
It’d been a few days and my mates weren’t any closer to coming home. I decided I needed to go out there to figure out what they weren’t telling me. This was supposed to be for intel, but Liam was here preparing more warriors and even Matt went back to the Dragon Kingdom to get more of their warriors mobilized.
Sage and I were stuck at home and I was growing more agitated by the minute. I was trying to get her to portal us to their location, but she was not budging.
“Sage, this is fair! What are you hiding?” I exclaimed.
We were sitting in the living room.
“You promised your mates that you wouldn’t complain about them keeping you safe.” She reminded me and I sighed.
“But you all promised me no more secrets. And if you won’t help me, I’ll get there myself.” I told her, standing up from the couch. I’m done waiting. I knew something was wrong, and no one was telling me a damn thing.
I stormed off into my room and went straight in to the closet; I stuffed some clothes into the backpack I had found. When I was done, I went to the bathroom to grab my hairbrush and some hair ties. Before I put everything in my bag, I took my anti-nausea tablets and grabbed my vitamins. I got dressed in warm clothes and I pulled on my warm boots. I wouldn’t be able to shift, being pregnant.
I charged my phone, and I downloaded a map of the area onto my phone. Even if they don’t like it, I was going out there. I was done waiting, and I was sick of the lies.
I thought of the hideaway place that Sage and I used to play at when we were kids, and opened a portal. I knew I was walking into the unknown, but this was my war and I refused to be forced to sit on the sidelines.
I walked through the portal, and for once, I didn’t throw up. I was now standing in a small cave, deep in the thick forest that surrounds the Emerald Lake pack house and lake. Tundra appeared in front of me when I thought of her. I needed her help in finding the others.
Peering out of the cave, and I didn’t hear or smell anything. Tundra wandered out like nothing could touch her.
“Tundra, we are sneaking.” I whispered, yelled to her.
“There’s no one out here.” She told me and I pushed my l!ps into a line.
“Can you smell our mates?” I asked her, walking beside her while we walked away from the cave.
“Not yet.” She told me after she sniffed the air.
I pulled out my phone to look at the map. I knew the pack house was to the north of us. So we should head south and hopefully we’ll run into them. They wouldn’t be at the pack house. I changed direction and Tundra trotted beside me. She was happy to be out.
“Sage is here.” Tundra announced, and I turned around to see that she was stepping out of the cave.
“Really, Ashlyn?” Sage growled, not looking happy but she had a backpack.
“Are you staying? Because I’m not going back until I figure out what everyone isn’t telling me.” I told her, and she sighed.
“Of course I’m staying. I won’t let my sister get herself killed.” She rolled her eyes at me and Tundra huffed at her.
Tundra would let nothing happen to me, especially since I’m carrying her pup.
“Do you know where their base is?” I asked her and she pointed behind me, in the direction I was already heading in. We started walking and Sage fell into step with mine. Tundra had wandered off, but I knew she wasn’t that far away.
“Thank you for coming.” I told her.
“I don’t like not keeping you in the loop, I trust you, but this is something that your mates ordered me, and since they’re mated to you, they can command anyone.” She told me.
“Is it really that bad?” I asked her and she nodded.
That they value my life above their own is what makes me angry. I should be able to make my own decisions, just like they are making now. I told them I felt their deaths and they still are putting their lives in danger. If they couldn’t live without me, how did they expect me to live without them?
“I know you aren’t happy about this, Sage, but I’m glad that you’re here. I know Liam is going to be pissed when he finds us gone, but we should be here. If it’s as bad as I think it is, they need us. I can heal them. How did they figure I could portal in if I did not know where t hey were?” I explained, and she nodded.
“I’ve been worried about Brandon, he has been very vague about everything since they came out here.” She told me and I knew how she felt. And I decided to tell her, since I wasn’t sure how this was all going to play out.
“Sage?”
“Yes, Ashlyn?”
“I’m pregnant,” I told her and she immediately stopped in her tracks.
“What?” she stuttered out.
“I’m about six weeks,” I told her and she just stared off in front of her.
“Your mates are going to fvcken ill me.” she finally said, and I laughed.
“They would never touch you. I can make people explode, remember?” I told her and she turned to look at me.
I understand your urgency to get out here and get this done now. The farther along you are in your pregnancy, the more needy for your mates you will become. That’s why you’ve been such a b!tch lately.”
She said, and I pushed my l!ps in a line.
“I’m not that bad,” I told her as we started walking again.
“Yes, you have been. You portal into the middle of the unknown to find them,” she told me, and I couldn’t argue. I definitely feel more of a need for them. And it’s becoming hard and harder to be away from them.
We had been walking for a few hours when Tundra walked back up to us.
