“Matt, release him and give him our numbers.” I told him. After Matt untied him, Jeremey came over to me.
“Prince Derek, I’m truly sorry for how I treated your mate today.” He said, bowing his head.
“l almost lost a mate and our son today. Your king was injured, as well. You can redeem yourself by helping us.” I told him and he nodded. I sent Lance to escort him out of the building.
“So, what are you thinking?” Nathan asked me.
“How did this Ryan guy get into the kingdom? They would have noticed someone without a scent.” I said.
“Maybe he’s working with someone? Witches can spell to change their scents and the same with the faces.” Nathan said, and I growled in frustration.
“It literally could be anyone.” I yelled out, and punched me in the arm.
“Derek, this is your family. Pull your head out of your a*ss and start listening to the facts.” She growled at me. I pushed my l!ps in a line as I rubbed my arm. How can this little old lady be so strong?
“And what facts am I missing?” I asked her and she gave me a pointed look.
“This Ryan guy has to be a warlock or a Fae. That’s a good start. So we know the vampires aren’t involved.” She said, and I nodded.
“I still don’t see how this narrows things down?” I asked her.
“Wow, what the hell does your mate see in you?” She said, making Matt laugh.
“You know it’s the body, Nana.” Matt laughed out and even his dad chuckled.
“Thanks, Nana. I love you too.” I told her.
“Think who else would want this? I don’t think this has anything to do with hybrids, but with the power that Ashlyn possesses. They are just using the fact she is a hybrid to manipulate people to their side.” Nana said.
“That makes sense. As soon as Ashlyn explains what happened, people seem to quickly change their minds about her and hybrids.” Matt said, and we all agreed.
“Ashlyn has all the kingdoms then, so who does that leave?” I asked.
“Clearly, someone is holding onto a grudge, either towards Ashlyn or her family,” Nana said.
“Could it be one of her mother’s mates? Or her grandmother’s mates?” Nathan asked.
“James is dead. My father would never hurt her. Your father is also dead. We had suspected King Draco, but my father told me he wasn’t involved. So that just leaves King Jordan, but I don’t think he’s involved. Ashlyn blessed them with a child and she saved their daughter.” I told them.
“We should probably track down her grandmother’s mates then. King Draco’s father was involved,” Matt said, and I agreed.
“Then what do you want to do with this guy?” Lance asked me, pointing to Mr. Edwards.
“I’ll take care of him. Derek, get back to your mate and child.” Nana said.
“It’s mates, Nana. I have Ashlyn and Mason.” I corrected her.
“Oh, lucky girl,” Nana said, and Nathan groaned.
“What’s your problem? We are all adults here.” She said to Nathan.
“Ashlyn is my sister.” He told her, and she chuckled.
“Don’t want to picture that,” Nana said.
“No. It’s bad enough my other sister called it a mate sandwich.” Nathan groaned and everyone laughed.
“Who wouldn’t love a mate sandwich?” Nana asked, and we all groaned.
“Mom, no.” My uncle said, shaking his head.
“What? An old lady can’t have fun.” She said.
“Nana, you can have all the fun you want. We just don’t want to know,” I told her.
“Whatever. Take some pastries when you leave. And I want to meet Mason and your son the next time you visit.” She told me.
“Thanks, nana.” I told her, k!ssing her forehead.
“Yeah, yeah. Get going before I put you boys to work.” She said, shooing me away. Nana may be more loving than my mother, but she wasn’t affectionate.
“Matt, go with them. Your father can give me a hand here. And I also want to meet your mate.” She told him.
“How did you know?” He asked her, stunned. She just tapped her nose. Nothing gets by nana.
“Right. As soon as everything calms down, I’ll bring her by.” He told her.
“Good. Now go.” She said, and we all left, not waiting for her to put us to work.
“I’ll grab some stuff before we leave.” Matt said, moving behind the counter after we made it upstairs.
“So am I portalling the two of you home?” Nathan asked me.
“I need to check on my father first, and then I’ll go home. But 1’ll call Mason to see how everything is going there.” I told him and he nodded. I stepped outside to call Mason.
“Derek, you okay?” He answered.
“Mason, I think we found something” I told him.
“Derek, before you tell me, do you know what colour Theo’s blood was?” He asked me and the question threw me off. What kind of question is that?
“Red, why?” I asked, confused.
“Just something Ashlyn said. I’ll explain later.
Anyway, what did you find?” He asked me.
“We have a name,” I told him.
“Wait, Sage is here. Let me put you on speaker.” Mason said.
“Mason, where is Ashlyn ?” I asked him.
“She’s sleeping.” He said, and I sighed.
“I guess we can talk about what happened when I get home. I just wanted to let you know we found out that a guy named Ryan has been going around, trying to manipulate people against the hybrids. Also, he doesn’t have a smell.” I said, and I heard Sage gasp.
“What?” Mason asked Sage.
“This Ryan is a warlock or a Fae,” Sage told him.
“So no vampires?” Mason asked.
“I don’t think it’s vampires. I just need to check on my father and then I’ll be home.”
Derek
After learning that my father was okay, I left Lance and the team with him. Nathan then portaled Matt and me home. It was very early in the morning and all I wanted was a shower and to snuggle with my mates.
Walking into the castle, I was thankful that Sage was still up. She was holding James, feeding him.
“What are you doing awake? Where’s Ashlyn and Mason?” I asked her, before k!ssing James’ forehead.
“I did a sleep spell on Mason so he could sleep, and Ashlyn was already sleeping. I told Mason that I would take James for the night.” She told me.
