“Queen Ashy, help. It hurts.” She cried out. Tundra let out a murderous growl, and everyone froze.
“Let her go.” I growled out and he let go of Aurora. She ran over to me and wrapped her arms around my thighs.
“If you want my powers, no one will fucken touch her.” I yelled at Susan. She stared at me while I glared at her.
“Fine, take them to their room.” She huffed out. She waved her hand to motion the men to take Aurora and me away.
The men led us down a corridor to what looked like a guest room. I knew we were in the old pack house of Emerald Lake, but it was hard to remember exactly where we were in the building.
One man opened the door and the other one pushed me into the room. I stumbled, but I caught myself before I could fall on Aurora. I turned back to give the man a piece of my mind, but I found the witch standing in the door frame instead.
“You said that Aurora and my baby would be safe if I gave you my magic.” I told her and she shrugged.
“All you have to do is give Susan the power that she wants and then I get your magic. And only then can you leave with Aurora.” She told me and I was growing incredibly frustrated with their demands.
“I can’t give her my powers from the moon goddess.” I yelled out.
“And you also can’t use your magic without hurting your unborn child. So you’re going to have to decide what’s more important.” She told me. And I growled out in frustration.
She released the invisible restraints and slammed the door closed. I bent down and wrapped my arms around a sobbing and scared little girl. She was shaking and crying out for her mommy.
“It’s okay, Aurora. I will never let them hurt you.” I told her, kissing her forehead.
“I’m scared.” She snuffled.
“I know you are, sweetheart. But I will get us out of here. I promise.” I whispered into her hair. We moved over to the bed after I picked her up.
This was indeed a guest room. There was a king-sized bed in the middle of the room. There was also a small seating area with a loveseat and a chair that were placed in front of a small wood-burning fireplace.
There were a couple of doors, which I assume are the bathroom and closet. There were closed curtains behind the headboard of the bed. I think that’s the window.
I lay with Aurora until she fell asleep, snuggled into my side. I eased away from her to get up to inspect the room and to use the bathroom. One room was indeed the bathroom. I did my business and then hopped into the shower. I was covered with dirt and blood.
When I was done, I wrapped a towel around myself and grabbed some water from the sink. I knew they probably wouldn’t be feeding me, but I needed to stay hydrated. I exited the bathroom and walked over to the other door. I opened it and was surprised to find clothes.
There were different sizes, and there was even clothing for Aurora. I was more confused than anything. Why would they have this all set up? They could have just tried to take everything from me and then killed me. What were they planning? I thought while I found some sweatpants and a hoodie.
When I was dressed, I walked back into the bathroom to find a brush and a hair tie. Which I found. This room would have been okay if I was being held against my will. And I didn’t have a scared little girl to protect or my son.
“Tundra, what am I going to do?” I asked my wolf while I brushed out my hair.
“I will protect our baby. But I don’t know what we should do. They aren’t really giving us many options.” She huffed out.
“Can you feel Mason and Derek?” I asked her, tears swelling in my eyes at just the mirror thought of our mates.
“They are both alive, if that’s what you are asking. I don’t know more than that.” She whimpered. I knew she felt the same pain in my heart that I did.
I braided my hair and drank down another glass of water before I made my way back to bed to get some sleep. I snuggled in with Aurora with one arm around her while I rubbed my small baby bump with the other hand.
“I will get us all out of here. I promise.”
Mason
A warm hand and sparks running through my hand and arm startled me awake. I blinked a few times, looking around the room. There’s only one person who can cause sparks like that. Ashlyn.
A warm hand squeezed my hand, and I turned to see Ashlyn standing beside my bed. She was smiling down at me. I sat up before pulling her onto my lap, wrapping my arms around her.
“Baby, they found you.” I breathed out. I looked over at Derek, finding that she had removed his bandages, and he was healing faster. I forgot about my pain, too relieved that Ashlyn was actually here, safe.
“You healed Derek?” I asked her, and she nodded.
“Are you hurt?” She asked me, looking up at me.
“I’ll live. How is our baby?” I asked her, moving the hoodie she was wearing to place a hand on her slight bump. Knowing our baby boy was growing bigger brought a smile to my face.
I leaned down, crushing my lips to hers. I missed her so much. She changed positions, so she was straddling me. She pushed me back onto the bed without breaking the kiss.
Moving my hands under her hoodie, squeezing her impossibly close to me. I needed to feel her skin against mine. I’m not sure where she has been, but right now, all I cared about was that she was safe and Derek was healing.
Ashlyn pulled out of the kiss, leaving us both panting as she rested her forehead against mine.
“Mason, I’m not actually here.” She sighed, and I looked at her, confused.
“Baby, what are you talking about?” I asked her.
“I’m dreamwalking, Mason. I’m here to make sure you both are okay. They have Aurora. And Grace is working with Susan. She killed Brad and their child.” Her voice cracked, tears flowing down her cheeks.
“Baby, we will find you. Derek and I will bring you three home.” I told her, but she shook her head.
“What do you mean no?” I asked her. She wouldn’t even look at me.
“Mason, please just listen to me. I need you to be strong for Derek and our boy. I love you both more than anything, and I need you three to be safe.” She whispered through her tears.
“Baby, you are scaring me. What are you saying?” I asked her. I was panicking at what she was trying to tell me.
“I know, Mase. I’m scared too. But I need you both to be strong. I need you both to love each other and to love our boy and to raise him into the man that I know both of you are. I need you to remind him every day how much his mommy loves him.” She sobbed, and I held her against my chest while she cried. Tears were falling down my cheeks at the things she was telling me. She didn’t think she was coming back to us. And the thought broke me.
“I gifted Derek with healing, and I’m gifting you with strength.” She whispered, kissing my forehead and a white light consumed her body and then mine. I could feel myself becoming stronger.
“And this is for Sage and Brandon. I never got the chance to bless them.” She mumbled into my forehead. The white light came and went.
“Baby, we will find you and we will do this together. You don’t have to do this alone.” My voice cracked from the emotions that were building in my chest. She took my cheeks in her hands and looked down at me. Her eyes were red and puffy, like I’m sure mine were.
“I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry that I wasn’t strong enough to end this the first time. I won’t be making that mistake again. Too many people have died because of this, and I need to end this.” She cried.
“Baby, please don’t do this.” I begged her.
“It’s okay, Mason. As long as you, Derek, and our baby boy are safe, everything will be okay. I love you more than any words could ever describe. Now, can you just hold me until I need to go back, please?” She cried, and I nodded.
“I love you so much, baby.” I cried out, holding her close. I knew what she was telling me, but I didn’t want to believe it. She can’t leave us. Derek will burn this entire world to the ground.
I cried myself to sleep, holding on to Ashlyn like she was my lifeline. Like she would disappear at any moment.
I woke with a jolt. Derek was calling my name. I sat up, looking around the room to see if Ashlyn was still here, but she wasn’t. I looked over to see Derek. His burns were all healed.
“Mason, what’s wrong?” He asked me, concerned. I rested my head in my hands and cried. I could still smell Ashlyn and our boy on me and I just couldn’t wrap my head around what she was planning on doing.
“Ashlyn was here last night.” I cried out.
“They found her?” He asked hopefully.
“She dreamwalked.” I answered him and his eyes went wide in shock.
I explained everything that had happened and why we were both in the hospital. I also explained what Ashlyn told me. By the time I was done, Derek was sitting on my bed and we were both crying.
He knew what she meant, just like I did. She was leaving us and there was no way we could stop her. We needed to get back to the camp and figure out a plan asap. We also needed to contact King Jordan and let him know we knew where his daughter was.
“I mindlinked Matt, he should be here with clothes soon. Nathan is with him and he can portal us back.” Derek informed me, And I nodded.
“We will get to her. We have to.” He tried to reassure me before he headed into the bathroom. I heard the shower starting.
I laid back on the bed, covering my eyes with my forearm. Trying to breathe through the tightness in my chest. I was anxious about getting back to our camp. I was going to storm into Emerald Lake and save our mate and our baby.
Matt and Nathan entered the room, but I didn’t move. I was about to break down again, and I needed to get angry. I needed to get angry and fight for her. She needed us, our son needed us.
I sat up with newfound determination. Derek was just coming out of the bathroom. He had a towel wrapped around his hips and I could tell that he had been crying.
“Derek, what’s wrong?” Matt asked, concerned, but Derek just shook his head. Neither one of us wanted to talk about what Ashlyn was planning.
“Nathan, I need you to contact King Jordan. Tell him that Aurora is at the pack house in Emerald Lake.” I told Nathan. I stood up from the bed and made my way to the bathroom to have a shower. We needed to get back there.
After a quick shower, not wanting to fall a part; we didn’t have time for that right now. I shut the water off and hopped out. I wrapped a towel around my hips and stepped out into the room. Derek was already dressed.
“Your torso is looking better,” Matt commented, and I looked down to see that all the gashes were now closed up and only light green bruises remained.
“How are you feeling?” Nathan asked me. They had placed some sweatpants and a hoodie on my bed.
“Pissed. We need to get back to Emerald Lake. What have you guys found out?” I asked them, while I pulled the clothes on.
“We have found nothing. All we know for sure is that Ashlyn is at the pack house and that’s only because Derek told us when you were in the shower.” Nathan told me and I sighed.
“We should have more warriors the day after tomorrow,” Matt said, and I shook my head.
“That will be too late. We need to attack in a few hours.” I told them and they both looked stunned.
“Derek and I are storming the pack house to get Ashlyn back. You’re with us or you can stay behind. Regardless, in a few hours, that’s where we will be.” I informed them, and Derek agreed.
“Did you inform King Jordan about his daughter?” I asked Nathan, and he nodded.
“He should be getting there now,” he said.
