“Then we shouldn’t keep him waiting.” I told him. Nathan opened a portal into the middle of our camp and we all stepped through.

Nathan was right. King Jordan was indeed waiting for us. He had at least fifty warriors with him. Brandon and Liam were with him when we approached the group.

“King Jordan, Ashlyn is keeping Princess Aurora safe. Derek and I will lead the charge in a few hours after we get the others organized,” I told him.

“We are coming with you. There is no way I’m letting any of those fuckers live after they took Aurora.” He growled out, and I understood his anger. If anything happens to our son, I’ll rip everyone apart for just being in the area.

“Derek, how the hell are you alive?” Liam asked him, stunned that he was even here and walking.

“Ashlyn. She dreamwalked last night and healed him. She also gave me a blessing of strength. And she told me to give this to you.” I told Brandon. I reached out to touch his forearm and the bright white light engulfed me and then consumed him until it faded away.

“What the hell was that?” Liam exclaimed.

“The mate bond that Sage asked for.” I told him and Brandon was clearly shocked.

“Why would she give it to you, to give it to us?” He asked. I punched the bridge of my nose, letting out a breath.

“She doesn’t think she is coming back,” Derek answered, his voice full of emotion.

“What?” Liam yelled out.

“We don’t know what she is planning. All we know is that she is planning on keeping our son and Aurora safe.” I told them.

“She’s pregnant?” King Jordan exclaimed, and I nodded.

“Fuck!” He breathed out.

“Get the men ready to head out when Prince Mason and Prince Derek say the word.” King Jordan commanded one of his warriors.

Just then, Dylan rushed over to us, and I was glad that he was still alive.

“Brandon, it’s Sage.”

Ashlyn

When I opened my eyes, I was lying back next to Aurora. I gently climbed out of bed, I checked out the window and I noticed it was still dark outside. Hopefully, I had enough time to get this done.

“Tundra, I’m going to need your help.” I told her.

I went to the closet to gather up some warm clothes for Aurora. I placed them on the end of the bed, so I wouldn’t have to look for them after. Finding an extra hoodie for me.

Going into the bathroom, I gathered up all the towels, placing them beside the tub. I started the water while I found some floss. I stripped off my clothes and climbed into the tub. The water had to be warm and not hot.

I placed my hands on my bump, blessing our baby boy with the gift of life. I needed him to live. Derek and Mason were going to lose me. I couldn’t let them lose their son. Mason couldn’t lose another child.

My body glowed with a white light as I thought about the life I wanted for my son. Tears were running down my face as my belly grew bigger.

“He’s growing.” Tundra informed me.

“Tundra, I need you to take care of him.” I told my wolf.

I watched as stretch marks rippled my skin as he grew bigger with every passing minute. I could feel him kicking and moving, it brought a smile to my face, knowing he was going to live. He was going to have the life I dreamt of for him.

It wasn’t until the first contraction ripped through me did I truly understood what I was about to do, and I was alone. I tried to breathe through the pain as my body worked in overdrive to get him out.

I didn’t have a way to time contractions, so instead I just talked to him about the life he was going to have with his daddies. And how wonderful they both were. And how I will always watch over him. Crying, but not just from the pain of childbirth.

Soon, I wasn’t able to talk through the contractions and they were so close together that I couldn’t catch my breath. I was panting and gritting my teeth, trying not to scream out. I didn’t want them to hear me. The pain was building, stronger and more intense by the second, and I do not know how anyone could endure this kind of pain.

“Ashlyn, you need to push.” Tundra told me.

“Tundra, I can’t.” I cried out.

“Ashlyn, you have to. I’m right here.” She told me. I knew she was staying inside me to help me heal and to take away some of the pain.

I leaned over the side of the tub and grabbed a towel. I shoved some of it in my mouth so I could bite down and hopefully, it would muffle the screams.

Gripping the sides of the tub, I pushed through the next contraction. I worked with Grace at the hospital and I’ve helped with expecting mothers, but watching and doing are two completely different things.

I could feel the burning and the pressure from his head pushing closer to his exit. I stopped to take a breath before the next contraction could start.

“That’s it, momma wolf. You got this. He’s almost here.” Tundra said. I was so glad that I had Tundra.

With one more big push, I reached between my legs and felt his head. I could get a grip on his tiny body and I pulled him out of me and out of the water. He cried when I was wiping his face off with the now soaking towel I was biting down on.

I held his tiny body to my chest, breathing in the scents of my mates. The all too real realization that I would not be a part of my baby boy’s life hit me.

When the final contraction hit, I pulled out the placenta. Tundra was healing me as fast as she could. I didn’t have time to savor those moments with him. I didn’t know when someone would barge their way in here.

I leaned over the tub and gently placed him on a towel I had already laid out for him. Looking down at him, he looked up at me with Derek’s sea-green eyes. He had dark hair like Mason, and he was a good mix of both of them. This little boy truly represented my love for both of my mates.

He was the cutest, chubbiest baby I’ve ever seen. Little Aurora walked into the bathroom, rubbing her eyes, and I knew it must be morning. I had little time left to get them both to safety.

“Queen Ashly, I need to pee.” She yawned. She didn’t even notice that I was still in the tub and that there was a baby lying on the floor.

“You go pee, sweetie. After, we are going to get you dressed and then I’m going to get you home.” I told her and she nodded her little head.

While she was peeing, I climbed out of the tub and wrapped a towel around me. Still covered in blood, but I didn’t have time to worry about that. I needed to get the baby boy ready to meet his daddies.

I kneeled down beside him and used the floss to tie off his umbilical cord. I had to use my teeth to bite through the cord. Of course, they wouldn’t leave anything sharp in here.

I was just drying him off when Aurora came over to us. She leaned over and gasped at the baby boy.

“Queen Ashy, where did the baby come from?” She asked me.

“This is my baby.” I told her.

“Wow.” She said in wonder.

After I dried him off, I wrapped him in a clean towel before I picked him up. I walked into the bedroom and laid him on the bed. Aurora followed behind me.

“Aurora, we have to hurry.” I told her while I was changing her out of her clothes and into the new ones I had found, feeling anxious while I got her ready. I didn’t know when the door would fly open and someone would come in and see that baby boy was no longer inside me.

I pulled on my clothes that I was wearing earlier and then I wrapped baby boy in the hoodie I found in the closet. I willed Tundra out and she appeared beside Aurora.

“Tundra!” She squealed out, hugging my wolf.

“Shhh. We have to be quiet,” I told her.

I wrapped baby boy all up and tied the sleeves of the hoodie into a handle so Tundra could carry him. She was going with them to make sure that they were safe. It was just going to be me, my powers and my magic that I’d have to learn how to use real quick.

Kneeling down beside Tundra, cradling my baby boy in my arms. I was trying not to cry. I needed to show Aurora that everything was going to be okay.

“Tundra, take care of them.” I told her. She licked my cheek and then gently nuzzled baby’s cheek.

“Queen Ashy, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Aurora came over to me and wiped a tear from my cheek.

“Everything will be okay.” I told her, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her close. I kissed her forehead.

“Tundra is going to keep you and baby safe, but I need you to be brave, okay? Do you understand?” I asked her. She looked up at me and nodded.

“I love you, Queen Ashy.” She said, wrapping her arms around my neck.

“I love you, Aurora.” I told her, my voice cracked, and I was thankful she didn’t say anything.

“Now, we don’t have much time,” I told her, and she nodded.

I hugged and kissed my boy one more time before I handed the handle over to Tundra. She opened her mouth, taking her small pup.

“Protect them.” I told her and she gently nodded, just enough to let me know, but not enough to disturb the baby.

I stood up, focusing on the magic that was surrounding the room. I needed to break it before I could open a portal.

The magic was powerful, but I pushed back with everything that I had. The magic was red, and I knew it had been tainted, but I used my anger, my burning hatred I had for the only blood family I had left. I used everything I had until I felt the spell shatter.

Gasping for breath, I knew I had little time before that witch stormed in here. Thinking about my tent, I pictured the four tan walls of the tent and opened a portal inside the tent. I heard a commotion outside the door.

“Hurry, we don’t have much time.” I told them.

“Queen Ashy, come on,” Aurora motioned me to go with them.

“I can’t go. I need to protect everyone. Hurry.” I told her. Tundra, carrying the baby boy, nudged Aurora through the portal, and I closed it behind them.

Just then, the door was thrown open and an angry Morgan stormed in with a few warriors behind her.

“Where’s the princess?” She demanded.

“Safe.” I told her.

I focused on the pressure in my chest and on the warriors behind her. I couldn’t make her explode, but I could get these warriors. The pressure was too much for me to hold. Squeezing my hands closed, all four of them exploded over the witch, causing her to scream out.
