“Really?” She said, instantly awake. I motioned her to come over and into her new room. She entered and gasped.
“We will go shopping after I talk with King Jordan.” I told her as she looked around the room.
“Thank you, mom. I love it.” She rushed over to me, hugging her arms around my waist.
“I’m so glad you like it, and we are just across the hall from you. So if you need us, we are right there.” I told her and she nodded against my stomach.
“Come on, Gabby. Let’s go find the others while your mom gets some work done.” Sage told her, taking Gabby’s hand.
“Okay.” She said.
“I’ll come find you when I’m done. Maybe Auntie Sage can start showing you things for your room.” I said, stepping out of Gabby’s room behind them.
Gabby was asking Sage a million questions as I stepped into our bedroom. Not finding my mates, I walked into James’ room to find Mason with James.
“Did he just get up?” I asked him, and he nodded.
“Gabby was up as well, but I’ll think she went to find you,” Mason said.
“Yeah, I found her. She is now with Sage. Gabby’s new room is across the hall from ours.” I told him and he nodded.
“We have an online date planned for this evening.” I told him, sitting down on a couch. He was changing James.
“A what?” He asked me.
“I figured you and Derek wouldn’t like me taking her shopping at a mall, so we are doing some online shopping. I’m going to get her some clothes and things for her room. Also, Sage asked me to get a few tablets to help the others with their education.” I told him.
“You’re right about the mall. Just for right now. And thank you for not pushing it.” He said, bringing James over to me.
“I’m sorry, Mason. I’m just not used to not being able to do what I want. But I’ll try harder for James and Gabby.” I told him. Mason sat down beside me while I had James on my lap. He was blowing bubbles and playing with his toes.
“I know, baby. And l’m not trying to control you. I just want to keep you safe.” He said, wrapping an arm around my shoulders and k!ssing my temple. I love you, Mason.” I told him, resting my head on his shoulder.
“I love you, baby.”
“Where did Derek go?” l asked him, missing my other mate.
“He went to go call King Draco. Jordan texted him saying he would call a little later, something came up.” Mason said, and I nodded.
“Then maybe I should move up our shopping date.” I told Mason, but I baby talked it to James. He woke up so happy from his nap and his smiles were contagious.
Mason and I sat in James’s room playing with him until Derek was in my head.
“Babygirl, where are you?”
“James’ room.” I answered him. Not long after, Derek walked into the room. He sat beside me on the couch and k!ssed my cheek. He then k!ssed James’s head while James giggled to himself.
“Derek, Gabby is now moved to the room across the hall from us,” I told him.
“Good, she should be in our wing,” he said, and that made me smile.
“What did King Draco have to say?” Mason asked him, and I was also waiting for Derek to answer.
“He confirmed Theo wasn’t his blood son. When he found out, he had his mate killed.” He said, and I was stunned.
“He killed his mate? But he said that she died from sickness.” I asked him.
“That was a cover story. He said that he didn’t want the truth to come out because then Theo would never be crowned king.” He explained.
“Wow.” I breathed out.
“So, who is the actual king?” Mason asked me.
“It’s actually someone we know.”
Ashlyn
“Milo?” I asked Derek, stunned.
“Well, I guess we’ve met his younger brother. Milo will be king if his older brother decides not to take it.” Derek told us.
“So Milo is a Kuran?” I asked him, and he nodded.
“What the hell was he doing out there?” Mason exclaimed. And I also wanted to know. Why would a royal be out there fighting with rogues?
“Okay, so this may get confusing, so keep up. Milo’s dad is King Draco’s uncle. Milo’s dad was also the head of their military for King Draco’s father,” Derek explained.
“So Milo’s dad is King Draco’s father’s brother?” I asked him, trying to piece it together.
“Yes.” He said.
“That’s an age gap,” Mason breathed out.
“Milo’s father’s first mate was killed before they had any children. He eventually took a second mate later in life.” Derek explained.
“Okay, so now all we have to do is track down Milo and find his brother. Then that solves the vampire kingdom problem.” I told them.
“And it’s a good thing the warriors took everyone’s names and rough locations, just in case we needed to find them.” Derek said with a smirk.
“Look at you being more than a pretty face.” I teased him, and Mason chuckled.
“Thanks, babygirl. Not that we needed it. I asked King Draco to invite them to the council building for a meeting with us,” Derek said.
“And King Draco is okay with all of this?” I asked Derek.
“He’s upset that it isn’t his son, but he understands. He also told me he doesn’t blame you for what you did.” Derek answered and I nodded.
“Aren’t you glad you didn’t go rushing in there?” Mason asked me.
“I could have found this out all yesterday if I had.” I grumbled and both of them chuckled.
“But this way, you are safe,” Mason said, k!ssing my neck.
“Yes, but now I have to keep you both safe. Clearly, someone is after you. Someone knew that I would not be at the castle and planned that attack.” I told them.
“Once King Jordan calls, we will figure out a plan. But right now, there’s not much we can do.” Derek said, and I sighed. That got me thinking, though.
“I need to find Sage.” l exclaimed, standing with James and rushing out of the room. Mason and Derek were calling out to me as I rushed down the hallway.
I found her in the living room by the kitchen and dining room. She was sitting on the couch with Gabby and they were both looking at a tablet.
“Sage?” I said, sitting with James.
“Mom, I love mermaids and cats.” Gabby exclaimed, looking up at me.
“Awe, I love them too. Tundra loved cats. We would spend hours watching funny cat videos.” I chuckled at the memory.
“The cat thing makes sense. It’s a witch thing.” Sage laughed, and it all made sense. Tundra was with a witch before me.
“Sage, I want to put a protection spell on Mason and Derek.” I told her.
“Ashlyn, doing that spell once is intense, but twice,” She said. Mason and Derek came into the room. Mason sat down beside Gabby and she was showing him all the things that she and Sage had found. It was so adorable watching him with her. Derek sat down beside me, since the couch was full.
“I know, but I have to try. Someone is after them, and I would feel better if I could protect them. James and Gabby are always going to be with me, but Mason and Derek will have to leave eventually.” I told her. And she sighed.
