“I was more scared than angry yesterday. She could do whatever she wanted and we wouldn’t be able to stop her. I don’t think I could even get her to submit.” he breathed out, standing from the bed and heading to the closet. He was right. Nothing was stopping her from doing what she wanted. That she is still here and not in the vampire kingdom means she respects Mason enough to listen to him.
“I think we should be thankful that she respects us enough to listen. There’s nothing stopping her from doing what she wants.” I told him, walking into the closet behind him to get dressed.
“You think as an alpha, I would hate that my mate is stronger than me, but I’m not. I just don’t want her to die. I feel like she thinks we don’t think that she is capable,” he said, pulling on a shirt.
“If it was one of us that possessed her powers, we would have ripped everyone apart by now.” I told him and he sighed.
“Double standards.” He breathed out, and I nodded.
“Breakfast is ready.” Ashlyn said through the link.
“We’ll be right down.” I told her. I could feel how uneasy she was.
“Lets get downstairs and we can figure everything out.” I told him.
Mason led the way as we made our way down to the kitchen. The layout was pretty simple, but I still would have gotten lost if the smell of bacon didn’t hit my nose. I followed the scent to the kitchen. Sage was standing in front of the stove and Ashlyn was cutting some fruit with her back to us. Mason went up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. He snuggled his face into her neck. I assume they were mindlinking, as I couldn’t hear them talking. I made a coffee before I sat down beside Matt at the table. His mate was sitting beside him, and all the other hybrids were sitting around the table. Liam had James and Gabby was playing with him.
“What’s the plan, boss?” Matt asked me.
“I’m going to call Jordan, and then see if we can track down this Ryan guy.” I told him, sipping my coffee. Ashlyn placed a tray of fruit on the table while I was talking with Matt.
“Ryan? So you are looking for someone named Ryan?” She asked me, before kissing my cheek.
“Yeah, do you know a Ryan?” I asked her, and she nodded.
“Really?” Mason asked her, sitting beside me with a coffee.
“Yeah, the night when I first arrived here, and we went out. The guy I was talking to on the patio, his name was Ryan, but it can’t be the same guy.” She said, and Mason growled.
“Mason, don’t start. You had a girl practically sitting in your lap.” She huffed at him and I turned to look at him.
“First, she wasn’t in my lap.” He tried to defend himself.
“Whatever.” She told him, rolling her eyes.
“Mason, you’ll have to explain. But first, Babygirl, do you remember what his scent was?” I asked her.
“We were outside and since we were in the wolf kingdom, I just assumed he was a wolf. Why?” She asked me, sitting between Mason and I.
“Do you remember what he looked like?” I asked her.
“He was tall, slimmer build, brown hair and blue eyes.” She told me, and Mason let out another growl.
“How the hell can you remember someone you met once, and that was forever ago?” Mason huffed out.
“I thought he was good looking.” she shrugged and the look on Mason’s face made me laugh out.
“Besides, you were with what’s her name?” she said.
“Amber?” I asked her and she shook her head.
“No, she was after.” Ashley told me, drinking some of my coffee. Mason sighed, and I looked at him.
“Okay, anyway, do you remember his scent?” I asked her again.
“I don’t. Why?” she asked me.
“This Ryan doesn’t have a scent, and is reported to be in the dragon kingdom before the explosion. We also believe that he has been spreading hate about the hybrids.” I told her.
“I thought he was a student. We could always look at the intake records. Look up all the Ryan’s and then search through the student IDs.” she said, and that was a good idea.
“Smart idea, Ashlyn,” Liam exclaimed, and she smiled.
“Sometimes, I’m more than just a pretty face,” she told him, and he chuckled.
“After breakfast, you can help me go through the records,” Liam said, and she nodded.
“Anything else?” she asked me.
“I just need to call Jordan,” I told her.
“Okay, I want to call King Draco.” She shrugged.
“Ashlyn,” Mason exclaimed.
“To talk, Mason. What the hell am I going to do through the phone?” She huffed.
“Ashlyn, vampires can’t change their scent. Only Fae’s and witches can.” Sage told her, sitting beside Brandon.
“Okay, we aren’t looking for a vampire, but does that mean I’m not allowed to talk with him?” She asked us.
“Babygirl, what are you thinking?” I asked her.
“I need to discuss the royal blood history.” She answered.
“Baby, you aren’t going to the vampire kingdom.” Mason commanded.
“I wasn’t planning on it, and I wasn’t asking for your permission.” She huffed, standing from her seat. She walked over to Liam and took James from him.
“Gabby bear, when you’re done with your breakfast, meet me in the library.” She told Gabby before she left the kitchen. Sighing, I turned my attention to Mason.
“What girl?” I asked him.
“Okay, that’s on Liam.” He said.
“Hey, I said be nice. I didn’t say you had to take her home.” Liam exclaimed.
“Wait, what?” I asked him, confused.
“No one took anyone home. That was the night that Ashlyn almost died, the first time.” Brandon clarified.
“Brandon, why don’t you explain?” I asked him.
“We went out. There were a couple of girls. One was interested in Mason. This was before they knew they were mates. And I guess on the patio she was talking to this Ryan guy.” Brandon said.
“So, you and this girl?” I asked Mason.
“Nothing happened. That was the night I kissed Ashlyn and the fake bond surfaced.” He told me.
“She said that to be a bitch, Mason. It pissed her off because you were talking to another girl,” Sage said.
“And how do you know?” He asked her and she rolled her eyes.
“I’m a girl. I would have done the same thing. She was jealous, and she wanted to make you jealous,” Sage answered, and Mason let out a sigh.
“Its fine, Mason. Clearly, she never saw this guy again. But I’m glad that she remembered him. It’s probably not the same person, but it’s a lead.” I told him and he nodded.
“Fine, but I’m not happy about it.” Mason huffed.
“I didn’t say you had to be happy about it, but you should probably go apologize again.” I told him.
“Bring her a pastry, that should make her happy.” Matt chimed in and I forgot all about them.
“You guys should just start carrying around snacks for her.” Sage said, and we all chuckled. As much as I hated her upset, I’m glad it wasn’t directed at me this time.
“Come on, Mason. Let’s go find our mate.”
Family of Five
Ashlyn
I had to leave the kitchen, or I was going to say something I would later regret. Mason was getting on my last nerve and I was about to shout out every past mistake he ever made, his fault or not. I took James and left to find the library. I needed to focus my mind on something else, or I was going to explode. After finding the library, which was the same library as before, I went back to our room to get a few things for James.
When James was changed, I made a bottle and then grabbed a floor mat so he could have some tummy time. I also grabbed him a couple of chewy toys. Poor guy seemed to enter his teething stage. Carrying everything, including James, I made my way back to the library. I wasn’t even finished laying out the mat when Gabby came running in. Looking up, she looked like she was about to cry.
“Gabby, sweetie, what’s wrong?” I asked her.
“Are you going to reject Mason?” She whispered. I immediately stopped what I was doing and walked over to her, with James on my hip.
“Why would you ask that?” I asked her and she shrugged. Taking her hand, I led her over to the couch so we could sit.
“Gabby, what’s wrong?” I asked her.
“You were fighting with Mason.” She sniffled.
“I’m sorry, sweetie. We shouldn’t have done that in front of you. And no, I will not reject Mason. I love him very much.” I told her and she looked up at me.
“Then why were you fighting?” She asked me, confused.
“Mates have disagreements. But that doesn’t mean I don’t love him. We had a scare yesterday, and it was hard for me to turn off my momma wolf dragon. We are trying to work through it the best we can.” I told her.
