“Besides, you should probably think about birth control unless you are planning on having another baby.” She told me while walking over to the bed, holding James against her chest.

“You get to have the next baby.” I told her while she handed me James.

“Why me?” She pouted.

“I see that mark on your neck. You better get on it.” I told her and she blushed.

“Maybe.” Was all she said before she turned around and walked out of the tent. I laid James down between my legs. He just opened up his beautiful eyes. Mason laid his head on my leg so he was looking at James and James was looking at his daddy.

“He is so beautiful, Baby.” He cooed before kissing his little nose. James let out a little yawn, and he was just the cutest little baby.

Mason rubbed his cheek with one of his fingers. It was so adorable watching him with his son. My heart swelled with love at watching him, and my eyes got a little teary.

“Baby, what’s wrong?” He asked me. I noticed he was looking at me now.

“Nothing, I just love watching you with him.” I choked out. I was on the verge of sobbing. Stupid hormones. Mason sat up and pecked my lips, pulling me into his chest.

“I love our boy and his mommy with everything, Baby.” He whispered, and I was full on sobbing on his shoulder now. Mason just kissed my forehead and rubbed my back until my sobs calmed down and I could speak again.

“Are you okay now, Baby?” Mason asked when I pulled away from him. I nodded.

“I’m sorry. I just love the three of you. Our family is my entire world.” I sniffled.

“I feel the same way, Baby.” He said, leaning over and kissing my forehead.

“We should get James ready and go help Derek,” Mason said, and I nodded. Mason climbed off the bed and brought over a diaper bag Sage must have picked up. He then leaned over me and picked up James to move him closer to him.

“Why don’t you go take a shower, Baby? I can get James ready and then when you are ready, we can go help Derek.” Mason told me and I felt excited to actually be clean.

“Are you sure?” I asked him. I wanted to make sure that he was okay with James.

“Baby, I’ll be fine with him. Just go.” he told me, and I was giddy. I noticed they had moved my backpack into their tent. I picked it up before I rushed out to the shower tent to shower.

One warrior that was standing outside our tent followed me to the shower tent. He insisted on entering first to make sure that it was all clear. I didn’t argue with him. I knew he was just following orders. When he came back out and everything was safe, I entered, excited about getting clean. Stripping off my clothes, I stood under the hot water, instantly relaxed. I felt so much better. I scrubbed myself clean and, when I was done, I shut the water off and exited the shower.

When I was done getting myself ready, I exited the tent to find the same warrior waiting for me. We walked back over to our tent and I entered to find Mason walking around the tent with James.

“Better?” He asked me when our eyes met.

“So much better.” I told him with a smile.

“I think James is hungry now.” He told me while I made my way over to them. James was sucking on his hand, and I knew he was hungry.

“He is. Let me feed him and then we can go meet Derek. I’m surprised he’s not back yet.” I told Mason, sitting down on the bed. Mason passed James to me. Lifting my shirt, James instantly latched, snuggling his face into my breast.

I looked up at Mason, and he was watching us in awe. He sat down beside me and leaned down, kissing James on his head.

“You’re amazing, you know that?” He said, kissing my lips and I smiled against his. When he pulled away, I rested my head on his shoulder and he rested his against my head.

“What do you think Derek and King Theo are discussing?” I asked Mason, and he sighed.

“I know they were friends before, and I’m pretty sure he has even met his mate before as well. They are probably talking about what happened,” Mason answered. I switched breasts when I found it was full and getting painful.

After James was done, he fell asleep. He was such a calm baby, and I felt so blessed to have him in our lives. Mason helped me move him up my chest so he could snuggle into me under my hoodie. Mason also ripped the collar open so I could see James and his little face was peaking through. I’ll need to get a baby carrier when we get home, which hopefully will be soon.

After we were ready, we made our way over to their office tent. When we entered, Derek and King Theo were sitting at the picnic table on the same side. Derek was comforting his friend. Mason and I took the bench across from them.

Derek looked up at me. King Theo had his head in his hands.

“King Theo, can you please explain to us what happened?” I asked him. He looked up at me and I could tell that he had been crying. His eyes were red and puffy.

“I do not know. I have been busy with the investigation and dealing with all the vampires you keep finding.” he said sorrowfully, and I felt for him. I knew the pain he was feeling.

“Have you felt it again?” I asked, and he nodded.

“When Sage gets back, I’ll ask her for help. We will sort this out and help bring her home.” I told him and he just stared at me.

“She fucken cheated on me, I don’t want her to come home.” He growled out, and I understood how he was feeling.

“Watch your fucken tone.” Mason growled at King Theo. I took Mason’s hand with my free one.

“I understand emotions are running high, but you deserve an explanation,” I told him.

“Theo, you deserve to know the truth and the why. Do you think your father had something to do with this? I know he wanted you to be with Ashlyn.” Derek asked, and Mason let out a growl.

“Mason, what the fuck is your problem? She is also my mate?” King Theo growled out.

“You took a chosen mate. She is ours, and you can’t just claim her because your relationship with your chosen mate is falling apart.” Mason yelled out angrily.

“You’re just pissed that I have already been with one of your mates,” King Theo claimed, and I was stunned. I looked over at Derek and he shrugged. I pushed my lips into a line. Mason let out a growl. He stood up and left the tent. I could feel his rage through the bond.

“Explain.” I turned my attention back to Derek, and he sighed.

“Theo and I have had a sexual relationship. It was before his mate and before you,” he explained. I pinched the bridge of my nose, resting my elbow on the table. Derek moved beside me and wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

“Babygirl, it was way before us.” He told me and I sighed, looking over at him.

“I’m not mad. Confused. But not mad. I guess it makes sense, since you also have Mason as a mate. It would make sense that you would also feel a pull towards King Theo.” I told him, and he leaned in, kissing my temple. I could feel Mason’s emotions bleeding into mine, and I knew he was upset.

“We need to go home. Mason isn’t taking this very well and I need to get checked out, and so does James. We can discuss this further once we are home.” I turned my attention to King Theo.

“I understand. I didn’t come here to cause a rift between you and Mason, and I didn’t know that you three had already had a baby together.” King Theo told me.

“I understand, but that changes nothing. I know that you both have had a past relationship, but you took on a chosen mate. Mason has asked me not to take on anymore mates. I’m sorry King Theo. I’m sympathetic to the issues you are having with your mate, but I need to put my mate’s feelings first,” I told him.

“And what about Derek’s feelings?” King Theo asked me, and I looked at Derek.

“We will discuss everything when we get home. Now, if you two will excuse me, I need to go find Mason.”

Sharing a Moment

Ashlyn

I rushed out of the office tent, still holding James to my chest. Thank goodness he was still sleeping. I spotted Liam, Matt, Ian and Alex, and I rushed over to them.

“Did you see where Mason went?” I rushed out.

“He shifted and ran in that direction.” Liam told me, pointing in the creek’s direction.

“For fuck sakes.” I growled.

“Beautiful, what’s wrong?” Liam asked me, concerned, and the others were also staring at me.

“Liam, I need you to take James. Ian, I need you to take my clothes back to our tent.” I told them.

“Why?” Liam and Ian asked together.

“Because I need to chase down my mate and I can’t do that with James,” I told them.

“Just shift and I’ll find you new clothes.” Ian told me. I was working with Liam, trying to give him James without waking him up.

“Because this is the only bra I have that fits my boobs at the moment, and unless you want to see a milk fountain, just hold my fucken clothes.” I snapped. I didn’t mean to sound so ungrateful. I could feel Mason’s anxiety through the bond, and it was making me anxious.

“Maybe..” Liam started, and I growled at him.

“Never mind.” He turned his attention to his sleeping nephew.

I stripped off my clothes. It wasn’t until I noticed them staring did I feel self-conscious about my body. I knew I had angry red stretch marks and my tummy was a little flabby.

“Can you all close your eyes?” I snapped.

I piled my clothes in Ian’s arms. I turned my attention to Liam, who did not have his eyes closed and was staring right at me.

“Take James back to our tent,” I told him. Before I shifted, Liam called out to me.

“Don’t worry about how you think your body looks, Beautiful. You are still the sexiest, bossiest woman I’ve ever met.” He blew me a kiss before I shifted and took off in the direction Mason ran off in.

I caught Mason’s scent and Tundra took off after him. She was so much faster than I remember. We found Thor in no time and he was talking to other wolves, probably a patrol.

Tundra tackled Thor to the ground and bit into his shoulder. She was not happy about having to leave her pup to deal with this.

“Leave us.” She growled out to the others. She pulled her teeth from his shoulder and stepped back. Once everyone was gone, I shifted back. And to my annoyance, I was naked and not in my dress.

“Shift Thor.” I commanded. Thor shifted back, and in his place stood my very sexy and furious mate.

“Ashlyn, you should be with James,” Mason growled.

“Are you fucken kidding me right now?” I growled at him. Now I was furious.

“Liam is watching James so that I can talk to you. I can feel your fury through the bond. Now tell me why you are so upset?” I demanded. I crossed my arms over my chest, trying not to think about how I looked standing in front of him naked.

“I don’t know.” He yelled, throwing his arms up. I knew what he was feeling, but he just wasn’t ready to admit it to himself yet.

I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his waist, snuggling into his bare chest.

“I think you do. You just don’t understand why,” I told him, looking up at him. He let out a sigh as he wrapped me in his arms.

“I feel jealous, but I don’t understand why. It’s not like Derek and I are sexual with each other,” Mason mumbled.

“It’s because he is your mate as well. Derek has already told us that dragons usually have multiple mates. Wolves don’t, and that is why you feel uncomfortable with your feelings.” I told him.

“I just didn’t expect him to have a boy toy.” He sighed. I started laughing. I couldn’t help it. I just didn’t expect him to say that.

“What is so funny?” He huffed.

“I’m sorry, Mason. I just didn’t expect you to say that. There is no pressure from me to complete the bond with Derek. You go at your own pace with this,” I said.

“It’s hard, because I feel jealous, but I’m not sure why I would be jealous. It’s not like I have the urge to kiss him, it’s just knowing that he has kissed another man. I don’t know.” He shrugged. And I snuggled back into his chest.

“Feelings are hard.” I mumbled into his chest. Mason rested his head on mine.
