“The vampire hybrid I was telling you about,” I answered.
“Ashlyn, what did Max say about being king?” His father asked me.
“I told him that if he would like to shadow King Draco, he could. He wasn’t sure what he wanted and I respect whatever decision he makes,” I answered.
“Milo, I would like you to also shadow King Draco, just in case.” I told him and he nodded.
“Max didn’t offend you, did he? He can be kind of an ass,” Milo said, and I chuckled.
“Nothing I couldn’t handle. I understand his position. I wasn’t given a choice and I would like anyone who takes over a kingdom to want to, not because they feel obligated.” I told them.
“Spoken like a true leader,” King Draco told me.
“And when will your coronation be?” Marco asked me.
“My what?” I asked him, shocked. My stomach dropped, and I was instantly nervous.
“Ashlyn, you will need an official coronation.” King Draco said, and I passed my lips into a line.
“We are still planning,” Mason said, saving me. I didn’t even know that I needed one, but I guess it makes sense, but I’ve just been so busy.
“Yes, planning.” I stuttered out.
“Really?” Milo asked with a smirk.
“Of course, it’s the first thing on my list of things to do,” I told him. And thank the goddess that Max and Wyatt walked in, saving me from this conversation. They were holding hands and now the topic would be on them and not me.
“Dad, Milo, This is Wyatt, my mate.” Max introduced them. Both Derek and Mason were staring at me, shocked.
“Ashlyn, could you give us a few days to decide?” Max asked me, and I nodded.
“Anything that you need,” I answered.
“And you’re okay with me living in the vampire kingdom?” Wyatt asked me.
“Wyatt, this is your life, and I will always be here for you. You need anything, I better be your first call.” I told him, standing up and giving him a hug.
“Thank you for everything.” Wyatt said, hugging me back.
“I think it’s time to eat,” King Draco announced, and we all agreed.
The night was full of laughter after that, and I could see how much Wyatt and Max were clicking. I think that now that Max has Wyatt, he will take over the kingdom and they will both be amazing kings. I was so happy that Wyatt would get his happy ending. And I loved hearing all about the vampire culture and how they have never had a problem with hybrids. They even let hybrid couples live in peace inside their kingdom. I felt guilty for believing the vampires had such a problem with me and hybrids when they had been protecting them this entire time. People really had the wrong idea about vampires.
New Flame Meeting the Old Flame
Alpha Ian
I woke up with my stomach in knots, anxious about today and seeing Ashlyn again. The last time I saw her, she died. And that pain was still fresh in my mind, remembering the life fading from her eyes as she bled out. Even though we have talked and she even told me about what happened with the former Fae King. It’s surreal to me she is alive and well.
After everything that had happened between Ashlyn and me, I never thought I’d ever feel happiness again until I found Ava. She was fast asleep snuggled into my side as I lay awake staring at my ceiling feeling anxious about seeing the person who I thought I loved more than anything and then feeling guilty about being here with Ava.
I knew Ashlyn had her mates and her kids, but there would always be this part of me that wished I never fucked up. I promised myself I would be better for Ava because she deserves the best. She deserves the best version of myself that I can give her. Jax still hasn’t marked her, but he has become more protective of her, especially around unmated males. I know it bothers her and hopefully Ashlyn can talk some sense into him when we visit.
Change is hard, and as much as I can say that I love Ava, which I do, Ashlyn will always have a place in my heart. I probably wouldn’t even be going today if it wasn’t for Ava dying to meet her. Seeing her always brings up feelings and the reality that she will never be mine again.
Things worked out for the best. I know she’s happy and Ava makes me happy. She’s sassy and fun and I found myself opening up to her more and more. It also helps that she is the least judgmental person I’ve ever met. Someone else would have left after finding out that their mate was still in love with someone else, but not Ava. And I remember little things about her, like her coffee order or her favorite foods. Just little things that she likes that a mate should notice.
Maybe I’ll feel better after I mark her. I do want to mark her and I love her. It’s just hard to let go of a dream that you had for so long, even if you fucked it up. And I fucked it up. But my fuck up led me to Ava, so I can’t be too mad about it. Just like with Ashlyn, it led her to Mason and eventually Derek. I guess you could say we are all where we are meant to be.
“Why are you up so early?” Ava mumbled, pulling me from my thoughts.
“I’m sorry, I just couldn’t sleep.” I told her.
“Feeling anxious?” She asked me and I sighed.
“We don’t have to go.” Ava said, sitting up on her elbow to look up at me.
“I know you want to meet her. Sometimes it’s just hard. I haven’t seen her since I saw her die.” I told her and she nodded.
“I’m sorry, Ava. It’s weird, before I used to tell her how I felt about her, and now I tell her how I feel about you.” I said.
“And how do you feel about me?” She asked me.
“I love you. You’re my Luna, and I couldn’t imagine my life without you.” I told her and she leaned up, pressing her lips into mine and I smiled against her lips.
“I love you.” She said, pulling her lips from mine. I could stare into her big brown eyes for the rest of my life and never get bored.
“There is no rush. We will go at our own speed and if that means that Jax has to take a year to finally accept me, then that’s what it takes. I think it’s even harder for him because her wolf is gone.” She said, and Jax whimpered in my head. Ashlyn never shifted in front of me and Jax never told me the reason. He could see and communicate with Tundra through our link, but only if they allowed it. And now she’s gone.
“Thank you, Ava. I really don’t deserve you.” I told her and she chuckled.
“Maybe not, but I love you. Lily and I will always be here.” She told me, snuggled back into my chest. I leaned down, kissing her head.
“What do you think, buddy?” I asked my wolf.
“I think I’d like to meet Lily and Ava. I’m not ready to mark her, but I care about her and her wolf.” He said, and I was happy with his progress.
“Jax wants to meet you and Lily,” I told Ava. And she sat up to look at me, surprised by what I had just said.
“Really?” She asked me, almost in tears.
“In the morning?” I asked her, and she nodded. Ava snuggled back into me and I pulled her close.
“Thank you, Jax.” She whispered.
Ashlyn
It’s the afternoon, Ian, Ava and Alex are almost ready for me to open a portal. Pacing the driveway, trying to burn off my anxious energy. I haven’t seen Ian since the day I died. I spoke to him but now I’m about to meet his fated mate. Ian says she is excited about meeting me, but I was feeling awkward. Ian and I have a past and it’s not all relationship stuff. We were best friends even before we started dating. He was my first kiss, and I did everything with him.
And now my entire life has changed. I’ve had meetings with councils, learning policies, taking care of the kids. We even started trying to have another one, as Sage convinced Mason to let me go with her. He just didn’t know the real reason. It’s weird how one moment could change my life completely. And now his life has too. I’m happy that he found someone, and she sounds wonderful. But sometimes I think about what things would have been like if Ian and I were still together and then I feel guilty because I love my mates and our babies.
“You okay?” Mason asked beside me, pulling me out of my thoughts. I didn’t even notice that he was pacing beside me.
“Yeah.” I breathed out. He took my hand in his, lacing our fingers together.
“Baby, it’s okay. I understand.” He said, and I sighed.
“I’m sorry, Mason.” I told him.
“Nothing to be sorry for. I’m the one that gets to see you naked.” He chuckled, pulling me to his side.
“Really?” I giggled. I know he was trying to distract me.
“Among other things,” he said, wiggling his eyebrows.
“You’re incredibly lucky you’re so sexy.” I told him, and he raised an eyebrow.
“And I’m good with my mouth,” he whispered, leaning in.
“I guess I’ll give you that.” I told him. He pulled me into his chest, leaning forward, grabbing my ass. He picked me up, and I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck.
“You guess?” He mumbled, kissing my neck.
“I think Derek would also agree.” I giggled, and he squeezed my ass.
“You’re lucky we have guests coming or I’d take that naughty ass of yours upstairs to bed.” His voice was husky with lust. Making my panties wet.
“Baby, I can smell how wet you are.” He groaned, and I licked his lips, causing him to shiver and goosebumps to erupt all over him.
“That was mean.” He pouted, and I giggled.
“You’ll just have to spank me later.” I told him with a smirk. Before anything else could happen, my phone chimed in the back pocket of my jeans. Mason let out a groan, smashing his face into my neck.
“That’s probably, Ian.” I giggled.
“The worst timing,” Mason mumbled.
“Oh, you’re fine. Go get the babies and Derek.” I told him before he put me back down.
“Fine, but you owe me,” he said, pecking my lips, before walking back inside to get the others while I checked my phone. To my surprise, it wasn’t Ian but Nathan.
Nathan: Sis, we still have found nothing of Ryan. No fingerprints, no DNA or family. He seems to have been a ghost, but we will keep looking.
Me: Thanks Nathan. I’ll think of some ideas about where we could look and get back to you.
My phone chimed in my hand, and this time, it was Ian. He said that they were ready and waiting in the driveway. I looked up to see my mates with our babies coming out of the castle, heading towards me.
“Was that him?” Mason asked, and I nodded. I’ll tell them about what Nathan said later. I opened up a portal to the front of the Blue Moon pack house. Ian, Alex and Ava walked through.
“That was so cool.” Ava breathed out, making me chuckle.
