Finding all the ingredients to make some ham and cheese sandwiches. I also found some energy bars, and some bottled sodas. I had to make three trips, but I got everyone fed.
“Dylan, can you make sure everyone gets back to their tents please? I need to make a few calls to get everyone home.” I asked him.
“Yes, my Queen. Do you need someone to escort you back to your tent?” He asked me.
“I’m sure l can manage. See you guys in a little bit.” I said to them.
“Buttercup, make sure you eat. You’re eating for two now.” Eric called out from behind me, right before I stepped out.
“I’ll find something.” looked back at him and smiled before I exited the tent. Tundra was trotting beside me.
She was so much happier being free.
Before I made it to my tent, Tundra stepped back into me. She wanted to check on our boy. Thankfully, the pill I took earlier actually worked, and I didn’t throw up.
l entered my tent to find my mates sitting on my cot and a very annoyed Sage sitting on hers. My heart rate immediately picked up, and I was now feeling anxious, seeing them for the first time in two and a half weeks.
“Sorry, they won’t leave.” She huffed out.
“It’s okay, Sage.” I told her, like it was no big deal, but I was ready to throw up.
I walked in and kneeled beside my backpack. I started digging for my phone. Hopefully, I still had some battery life and I could make a call out to Arthur. I needed him to give me King Theo’s contact information.
“Ashlyn, where did you go?” Sage asked me while both my mates just stared at me.
“Well, I had to get our group all fed, and I even got the wolves to volunteer some blood for the vampires. And before all that, I blew Chantel up.” I told her before I looked down at my phone. She started laughing. She knew how much I hated her.
Thad battery and reception, so I went through my contracts and when I found Arthur, I hit the call button. I moved the phone to my ear.
“Ashlyn, you can’t just blow.” Derek said, but I held up my finger to show that I needed a minute.
“Hi Arthur.” I said when he answered.
“Oh, thank the goddess. Ashlyn, are you okay?” He rushed out.
“I’m fine, but I need your help. At the camp by Emerald Lake, I have 20 vampires. I need you to get in contact with King Theo, or send me his information and I’ll call him.” I explained.
“Of course, he will be my next call. But how did you come to have 20 vampires?” He asked me curiously.
“The former vampire king is holding families hostage. l even found a 17-year-old who took his ill father’s place. I killed the one loyal to the former vampire king, and Sage checked to make sure everyone was telling the truth.” I explained further, and I heard him gasp.
“Okay, Ashlyn. I will call you back with the details. Take care.” He hung up, and I put my phone in my pocket. Sage excused herself and I went to sit on her bed, across from my mates.
“Baby, you’re pregnant.”
Ashlyn
“Baby, you’re pregnant,” Mason said, and I nodded.
“I wanted to tell you in person, but I guess Tundra told you. I found out a few days ago,” I told them.
“Babygirl, you shouldn’t be here,” Derek said, and I glared at him.
“Your girlfriend is dead, so you don’t have to worry about me finding out,” I growled.
“Ashlyn, that is not what I meant.” He said, trying to reach out to me, but I moved my hand.
“Do you have any idea how humiliating it is to show up and smell your mate all over his ex-girlfriend? To have everyone know that you both don’t respect me enough to tell me what the fvck was going on? Mason, your Delta almost died. If I wouldn’t have shown up, he would have.
So both of you are going to explain now, or you can both get the hell out.” My voice cracked at the end. Tears began to pool in my eyes. I hate needing them as much as I do. I hate how much I crave their touch and how their scents make me feel. Closing my eyes, I tried to slow down my breathing.
“Baby, it’s not like that. I’m sorry that you had to show up with things the way they were. It’s not that we didn’t want you here, it’s not that we don’t trust you.” Mason said, kneeling in front of me now. And Derek moved to sit beside me.
“Then what?” I asked them and they both looked at each other, worryingly.
“One of you better talk.” I growled out.
“Babygirl, when we showed up, and we were scouting the area, we came upon a body.” Derek sighed.
“Okay, and what does that have to do with me?” I asked them, confused.
“It was a message. It was someone you know.” Mason said, and I could feel the panic rising.
“What? Who?” I stuttered out.
“It was Donny, Baby. I’m so sorry. We were worried about telling you,” Mason told me. I pushed him away and stood up from the cot. I started pacing the tent while my mates stared at me.
“So you thought that you’d keep me away? They are coming after people that I care about. And I have the power to heal and you just thought you’d hide me away.
What the fvck would have happened if one or both of you got hurt or even worse? I wouldn’t have been able to portal in and you both would have died. Do either of you even love me at all?” I was full on sobbing now. Just the thought of anything happening to them had my chest tight and my stomach in knots.
I stopped pacing, bending over, I rested my hands on my knees. I was hyperventilating now and my breathing became labored. Tundra was outside my body, rubbing up against me.
“Ashlyn, I need you to calm down. Think of our baby boy.” She said in my head, nudging her head into my neck. I kneeled down, wrapped my arms around her neck, and sobbed into her fur.
“Both of you get the hell out!” Tundra growled out.
“Tundra, we are trying to make this right, but how can we if you keep pushing us away?” I heard Derek say.
“You should have thought about that before you brought that stupid b!tch here.” She growled at him.
“She was only here because she is good at her job, nothing more,” Derek defended. I pushed myself away from Tundra and looked up at Derek. He and Mason were now standing over us.
“You are telling me she never tried anything?” I asked him, and he shifted uncomfortably. I wiped my tears and stood up. Now l was pissed off.
“That b!tch called your mate Hybrid scrum. That b!tch refused to acknowledge her Queen and she hurt a young vampire. And you are telling me right now that she tried sh!t with you and you still kept her around?” I screamed.
“Baby, please calm down and let us explain. Please.” Mason approached me and placed a hand over my still flat stomach. I looked up at him and I could see his concern. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me against his chest.
Before anything else could be said, my phone rang inside my pocket. I know it must be Arthur calling me back with all the details. But before I could even reach for it to answer, Mason pulled it out of my pocket and handed it to Derek.
“Go.” Mason told Derek. Derek took my phone and stepped out of the tent. Mason nuzzled his face into my neck, breathing in my scent.
“Both of you need to stop making decisions about my life.” I said into his chest.
“We just didn’t want to see you hurt, Baby. I knew if you saw Donny like that, you’d feel incredibly guilty. I didn’t want you to run into the unknown because of your guilt.” He mumbled against my neck.
“And that’s not your call to make, it’s mine. This is my destiny. I’m the hero in this story, and if you two can’t be my sidekicks, then you can just leave. I’m not doing this anymore. This is my battle.” I told him, pushing him away.
I was feeling lightheaded. I pulled a granola bar out of my pocket and sat down on my cot. Regardless of how I was feeling emotionally, I still needed to take care of myself physically.
“Baby, but now you are pregnant, and that changes things,” Mason breathed out, as he sat down on Sage’s cot.
“I’m pregnant, not broken. And if T had the full support of my mates and the fathers of my son, you’d have nothing to worry about.” I told him, taking a bite of my bar. Mason came over to sit with me.
“We are having a boy?” He asked, stunned. And I sighed.
“Mason, I’m six weeks along.” I told him, and his eyes went wide.
“What?” He stuttered out. Just then, Derek came back into the tent.
“King Theo is sending a plane out to pick up all the vampires. He is also going to lead the investigation into the kidnaped families. Sage and Nathan are going to portal them near a human city where the plane is scheduled to land in a few hours. Sage said that she’d make sure that everyone was on the plane safely” Derek informed us, sitting down on Sage’s cot. And I let out a breath. I’m glad that they are going home.
“Now explain to me why Chantel was here and why she was covered in your scent.” I asked Derek.
