“Babygirl?” Derek was trying to wake her.
“What the hell happened?” I yelled out.
“I don’t know, but I think we need Sage,” he said, rushing into the closet. He came out and threw me a pair of sweatpants as I covered Ashlyn with the blanket.
“Brandon, I need Sage. Something happened to Ashlyn.” I mindlinked him.
“Room?” He asked.
“Yes.” I told him while I pulled on my sweatpants.
Sage burst through the door moments later, with Brandon on her heels.
“What the hell happened?” Sage yelled, rushing to Ashlyn’s side.
“I don’t know. She was on top of me and when her palm touched my mark, a purple light engulfed her. And then she collapsed.” I rushed out. Sage touched Ashlyn’s hand and her eyes turned white. My stomach was in knots as we waited for Sage to tell us what was going on. Sage finally shook her head, coming out of whatever she was doing.
“She placed the protection spell on you. I’m not sure how she did it, but as soon as her magic touched the mark, it’s like the mark absorbed the spell.” Sage explained.
“Is she going to be okay?” Derek rushed out, and I wanted to know as well.
“She’s exhausted. But she will be okay.” Sage said, and I blew out a breath. Just then Ashlyn let out a groan, moving her hand up to her face.
“Sweetie, how are you feeling?” Sage asked, leaning closer to her. Derek and I both sat down on the other side of the bed.
“Like a truck hit me.” She groaned and Sage giggled.
“Ashlyn, you used too much magic. And now you need to rest.” She told her, and Ashlyn opened her eyes. They were now a dull purple instead of the bright purple they were before.
“I don’t understand. I wasn’t trying to.” Ashlyn told Sage.
“I’m not sure, but now Derek and Mason have a protection spell on them.” She said, and Ashlyn chuckled.
“That’s a plus.” Ashlyn said, before she rushed out of bed and into the bathroom to empty her stomach. She was naked, and I noticed Brandon was now looking at the ceiling. Sage followed her in to the bathroom and now I was even more worried about what she had put her body through.
Finally, Sage and Ashlyn came out of the bathroom. Now wrapped in a robe, Sage helped her over to the bed to lie down.
“Baby?”
“I’m okay, Mason. Just tired.” She mumbled, lying down.
“She will be okay. That was normal.” Sage said, covering Ashlyn with the blanket. Looking at Ashlyn, I already knew that she was asleep.
“Let her rest and she will be better in the morning. It will probably take her magic a few days to recharge, but she will be okay.” Sage said before she and Brandon left our room.
“That was intense.” Derek said, as we both climbed into bed beside her.
“Yeah,” I breathed out, snuggling into her.
“Mason, are you okay with earlier?” Derek mumbled, cuddled into Ashlyn’s back.
“Yeah, Derek. But hopefully, next time, we don’t almost kill our mate.” I told him and he chuckled.
“That’s a little over dramatic.” He chuckled.
“I saw her eye color dull. She scared the hell out of me,” I told him, and he grabbed my hand that was resting on her hip.
“She clearly wanted you protected. Maybe it’s because she was so relaxed that the magic just flowed out of her?” Derek said.
“I don’t know but I’m glad its done and hopefully her magic will be back by the time we leave for the Fae Kingdom. Ashlyn will never miss Aurora’s birthday party.” I told him.
“We will be there, and so will some of the others. She will be okay, as long as one of us is with her at all times,” Derek said, and I hope that he was right. I was now feeling anxious about leaving the safety of the castle. Here I knew she was protected, with her spell that she placed over the castle grounds. I know she has Freya, but it still makes me nervous.
“She scared the hell out of me too, Mason. Even if her magic ruined the moment.” Derek chuckled.
“The magic has the worst timing.” I chuckled while moving the stray hairs off of Ashlyn’s face. She was now sound asleep and I thought nothing would wake her.
“Mason, she will be okay, and we can always finish what we started tomorrow,” Derek said. I looked over to see that he was watching me over Ashlyn’s body.
“Yeah, but now I won’t be able to sleep.” I told him.
“If you need, go get some work done. I’ll stay with her.” he said, but I shook my head.
“I know she’s okay, but there’s no way I can leave her.” I told him.
“Everything will be better in the morning, Mason. Just try to get some sleep.”
Ashlyn
It’s been a few days since I passed out from using too much magic. My eyes were still not back to the bright purple they were and I was still feeling weak. I feel stronger than I did, but not like I was before I casted both spells. Freya has been doing all she can to help me recover, but it’s still slow going.
Sage, Gabby, and I are getting ready for Aurora’s birthday party. It’s finally the day and I could feel that both my mates were anxious about me leaving the castle grounds, but we were going. Gabby picked a mermaid princess dress for Aurora and I knew she was going to love it. She also made her a card, which is just the cutest thing.
Gabby and I were matching, wearing sequin skirts that looked like mermaid scales. Mine was pink, and hers was purple. I wore a black flowing blouse while Gabby wore a black tank top. And we both had cute ankle boots. I also had to curl her hair like mine. Gabby looks more like Sage, but I love how she wanted to match me.
When the three of us were ready, we made our way down to the living room where the guys were waiting. Brandon and Sage were coming with us, and so was Lance and his team. Liam and Matt were staying behind with their mates. I didn’t think we needed Lance and his team, but Derek and Mason insisted on having them with us.
Walking into the living room, my handsome mates were all dressed up in slacks and a dress shirt. Even James is dressed to impress, matching his daddies.
“Look at my beautiful girls.” Mason exclaimed, as I took James from him.
“Daddy, look!” Gabby exclaimed, moving the sequins so they changed color. She was so excited.
“That’s awesome, sweetheart.” He said, picking her up. These two had been inseparable over the last couple of days. As soon as Mason told her, she could call him daddy. Mason became the only person she wanted.
“You’re gorgeous, Gabby bear.” Derek told her.
“Thank you, Derek.” She told him shyly. It’s been taking longer for her to warm up to Derek, but to me, he’s the more intimidating one.
“You look beautiful, Babygirl,” Derek said, kissing my cheek.
“Thank you.” I told him.
“You ladies ready?” Derek asked.
“James’ bag?” I asked, and he held it up.
“Then I guess we are ready to go.” I told him.
“Lance and the team are waiting outside for us. And the party starts in 5 minutes.” Derek told us as Brandon opened the front door for us.
“Sage, you’ve been to the Fae castle before?” I asked her, and she nodded.
“If not, I have been,” Derek said, and I raised an eyebrow at him.
“Jordan and I are friends,” he answered.
“Hopefully not like Theo,” Mason grumbled out. Brandon and Sage shared a look while I started laughing.
“Jealous?” Derek teased him.
“Did we miss something?” Sage asked.
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll tell you later.” I told her, walking over to greet the warriors that were waiting.
“My Queen.” Lances greeted me.
“Prince.” He pinched James’ cheek, and he gave him a giggle.
“Lance, thank you for coming with us.”
“He had no choice,” Derek said behind me, and I rolled my eyes.
“Of course, my queen,” he answered.
“Sage, you’re up.” I told her and she opened a portal. I was going to step through, but Derek held me back until half the warriors stepped through. Once they were through, I could walk through with Mason and Derek on either side. Then more warriors followed us. I wonder how Sage got away with never having protection. She was a princess and she could just come and go as she pleased.
After I stepped through and before I could even look around, Aurora rushed over to me, hugging my thighs, almost knocking me over.
“Ashy, Ashy, you’re here, you’re here!” She squealed. Her excitement was contagious as James squealed out giggling at her.
“Aurora!” I heard Jordan call out to his daughter. I couldn’t see anyone because of all the surrounding warriors.
“I got her.” I called out.
“Aurora, there’s someone I’d like you to meet.” I told her and she looked up at me.
“Ashy, I met him before.” She told me and I giggled.
“His name is James. But I have someone else for you to meet.” I said, and Mason put Gabby down.
