“Aren’t you just a lucky son of a bitch?” Derek laughed.

“Both of you should just wait until you have a daughter just like Ashlyn,” he said, and I looked at Derek.

“I officially want no more kids.” Derek said, and Jordan and I started laughing. Like Derek has a choice. If Ashlyn wants more kids, she will get them out of us.

“Apparently, you haven’t met Ashlyn.” I chuckled, and Derek gave me a look before he sighed.

“She’s going to get what she wants.”

“They always get what they want.” Jordan chuckled, and I nodded.

“The joys of being mated to a strong woman.” I told him.

“But she is very understanding. She wasn’t upset at all about her shirt being ruined,” Jordan said.

“She’s understanding until it comes to her safety. She wasn’t happy about all the warriors we brought with us,” I told him.

“Still nothing about that Ryan guy?” He asked me and I shook my head.

“Nothing that has led to anything,” I told him.

“I don’t think he’s Fae. My men would have found him by now. So he must be a warlock,” Jordan said, and I nodded.

“I’ll get Nathan on it.” Derek said.

I was starting to worry about what was taking Ashlyn so long. I tried to mindlink her, but I couldn’t reach her. Derek noticed that my demeanor changed.

“Mason, what’s wrong?” He asked me.

“Ashlyn, she’s not back yet and I can’t get through to her.” I told him. As soon as her panic flowed through to me, I looked at Derek and knew he felt it.

“I can’t reach her either.” He said, panicked as he stood up from his chair. He must have mindlinked Lance because I saw him take off into the castle. Jordan was up, running into the castle with us on his heels.

He ran down a hallway, and I could smell her, but her scent never left the hallway. She walked in but never left.

“This is where I left her.” Jordan rushed out as we all looked for her.

“Who else is in the castle?” Derek rushed out.

“My father and my trusted servants,” Jordan answered him.

“Your father would have been mated to Ashlyn’s mother.” I said out loud, and he nodded. I looked at Derek, and he was thinking the same thing.

“Find your father.” I told him and he nodded, running off further into the castle. Derek checked all the rooms while I mindlinked Brandon.

“We are going to need Sage. Ashlyn is missing.” I told him.

“Where are you?” He asked.

“Enter the back right door and follow my scent.” I told him. It didn’t take him and Sage long before they caught up with us. Sage didn’t have James, and I gave her a look before she explained.

“He’s with the Fae Queen. Gabby is also with her.” Sage said, and I let out a breath. Now we just have to find our mate.

“Sage, we are going to need you to track her.” Derek said, rushing over to us.

“Her scent doesn’t leave this spot, so she must have been portalled out. But why wouldn’t she have fought? Even without her magic, she is still powerful.” Sage said. And I couldn’t answer her. She wouldn’t have gone willingly.

Jordan came rushing back after looking for his father, and I immediately knew something was wrong.

“He’s not in his office and no one has seen him.” He rushed out.

“Has he ever said anything about Ashlyn’s mother or Ashlyn?” I asked him and he shook his head.

“We should check out his office to see what we can find out,” Derek said, and Jordan nodded.

“I’m going to go find James’ bag. There should be something of Ashlyn’s in there.” Sage said before she rushed off.

Brandon went with her, while Derek and I followed Jordan to the other side of the castle to his father’s office. How could we have missed this? And then we just walked in here and handed him Ashlyn.

Jordan started going through files on his father’s desk when we entered his office. I could tell that Jordan felt guilty about what was happening. Derek started opening drawers in the desk while I was looking over the bookshelves to see if anything stood out.

Derek pulled his desk apart, trying to find something that would lead us to where Ashlyn had been taken. I found nothing unusual in his office, and neither did Jordan.

“Where the fuck could she be?” I growled out. I was getting impatient, as I could feel her fear bleeding through the bond. Wherever she was, she was scared.

“Mason, get out here.” Brandon said in my head.

“Brandon needs us.” I announced, and Jordan led us back to the back garden. I never would have found my way out of this place if it wasn’t for Jordan leading the way.

“Brandon, what did you find?” I asked him when we made it outside. Both he and Sage were waiting by the back door for us.

“I found her, but you will never guess where she is?” Sage told us.

“Where is she?” Derek rushed out, beating me to it.

“She’s in the middle of the Atlantic.” She told us and I was shocked.

“Fuck!” Jordan yelled out, and we all turned our attention to him.

“We have a summer home on an island out in the Atlantic,” Jordan told us.

“That can’t be a consequence. It has to be your father. But why?” I said and Jordan shrugged.

“Ashlyn will be too weak to portal herself home from there.” Sage said, and I pinched the bridge of my nose.

“Then how the hell do we get in there and get her out?” Derek growled, frustrated by this entire situation. I was feeling the same way, but we couldn’t safely portal to the island. They would know that we could track her and portal in. They would be prepared for that.

“Sage, what do we do?” I asked her.

“Mason, I don’t know. They would expect us to portal in, but Ashlyn wouldn’t be strong enough to open a portal, not that far anyway. Her magic is still recovering.” Sage told me.

“Freya could make that journey,” Derek chimed in.

“But how do we communicate with her? We won’t know if she is safe and on her way home,” I said, and Derek sighed.

“Fuck,” I breathed out.

“Sage, open a portal for me and Derek, and we will get her.” I told them. I couldn’t wait around to see if she ends up being safe.

“What the hell is that?” Brandon said, pointing to the back of the garden. It looked like someone opened up a portal, but nothing came through as it closed. We could see enough of the portal to know that no one stepped through.

Before we could rush over to inspect what happened, the ground shook. Green light glowed up through the cracks as the ground crumbled in the middle of the garden and a massive metal box came out from underneath the ground.

“What the fuck is that?” I yelled over the noise.

We heard Ashlyn let out a blood-chilling scream, but before we could get to her, we saw her shift into Freya’s massive white dragon. She swooped down, grabbing the box in her talons and took to the sky. It’s then I saw that there was a countdown on the steel box, flashing its bright red numbers.

“Bomb!” I screamed, pointing up to the box. The warriors rushed to gather everyone up as Derek and I watched as Freya climbed higher into the sky until we couldn’t see her.

“What the fuck did we miss?” Derek yelled out.

“I don’t know, but I think you need to shift.”

Ashlyn

After the man threw me over his shoulder, he walked through the portal that Ryan opened with Ryan on his heels. I didn’t know where we were going or why I couldn’t move my body. It was terrifying. My mind was open, but my body just wouldn’t move, no matter how hard I tried. With my magic weak and now I couldn’t fight my way out of this.

“Freya, help.” I called out to my dragon.

“I’m trying, Ashlyn. He injected a muscle relaxer into your spine. It’s going to take some time for me to get it out of your system,” she said.

“Can’t you come out?” I asked her.

“I can’t leave you, as your magic is too low,” she answered.

“Then shift.” I yelled at her and she let out a whimper.

“I can’t. It could kill you right now.”

“Fuck, I’m sorry. I know this isn’t your fault.” I told her, feeling bad, I snapped at her. She’s doing her best with what she has.

I had my eyes closed because I didn’t want to stare at this strange man’s backside as he carried me to goddess knows where. Finally, my body hit something soft, and I opened my eyes to find that I was in a grand bedroom. Everything was fancy and expensive as I moved my eyes to look around the room. The bed even had four posts and a canopy.

“You smell divine.” He groaned, climbing on top of me, leaning onto my neck. He licked up my neck to my ear. My heart was pounding in my chest as I couldn’t move to get away from this monster.

“Fuck off, Kaden, she’s mine.” Ryan growled out.

“The deal was, you get her after she gives me a son.” Kaden sneered at him. If he said anything else, I didn’t hear him. I am really panicking now, and unable to move makes this worse.

“Freya, I could really use your help.” I cried out to my dragon. I was trying to reach for my magic, for anything that could help me.
