“Have you started training? And is there anything that you’d like to do?” I asked him.
“Liam and Brandon have started training us. And I would like to explore the world after this,” he answered.
“I can make that happen.” I told him. He thanked me before he left the library.
“Help.” Mason whispered, pulling my attention away from my thoughts. James and now Gabby were asleep on him. He looked so adorable holding our babies. I went over to him and picked up Gabby, laying her down on the couch. While Mason stood up with James.
“You two go put our babies to bed and I’ll go find Sage. I want to have Gabby’s room moved to our wing.” I told them. Derek scooped Gabby up off the couch.
“I’ll just lay her on the couch in James’ room until we have her room set up,” Derek said, k!ssing me.
“Thank you,” I breathed out.
“Mason, you should probably bring the book with you. Gabby will probably want you to finish it.” I told him, picking the book from the side table where he had left it.
“Good idea,” he said, taking the book and k!ssing me before they both left the library, with our kids. Leaving the library myself, I went to go find Sage. With a now clear head, I understand why Mason was so upset. I needed to be here not just for James, but for Gabby. She needed me more than anyone, and I couldn’t leave her. She has lost too much in her short life and I would not cause any more of her pain. I really needed this all to be over so we could all move on with our lives.
Ashlyn
Finally, I found Sage. I need to remember to have my phone with me, or we need an intercom. She was in the kitchen with some of the hybrids, teaching them how to use the stove and other kitchen gadgets.
“Sage, where is Gabby’s room?” I asked her, taking a seat at the kitchen island.
“l put her with the others that came with her. Why?” She asked me.
“I need it moved to our wing.” I told her and she raised an eyebrow at me.
“Why?” She asked again.
“l’m adopting her.” I told her, and a few of the others gasped.
“Really?” Charlotte, Liam’s mate, exclaimed.
“Yes, I love her and I know you were all taking care of her, but she has asked to stay with me.” I told them.
“And your mates?” Hazel, Matt’s mate, asked.
“Happy.” l told them.
“Ashlyn, are you sure about this?” Sage asked me, concerned.
“Yes.” I told her.
“So you’re not planning on running into the vampire kingdom?” She asked me and I sighed.
“I wasn’t planning on going there to start a war. I needed information. And I still need that information, but Derek said that he would call him.” I told her.
“What information?” She asked me.
“Theo’s blood was red.” I told her. She looked at me, confused, until the light bulb went on.
“He’s not king Draco’s son.” She exclaimed, and I nodded.
“Well, fvck!” She cursed.
“Yeah, and right now Derek is waiting for a call from Jordan,” I told her.
“And now you say that you are adopting an eight-year-old girl?” She asked me, and I nodded.
“It’s never a dull moment with you, sister.” She sighed, and I giggled.
“I’m younger. That’s why I can get away with this shit.” I told her and she threw a spoon at me, which l dodged, laughing.
“You’re a pain in my a*ss. That’s what you are.” She huffed, and I just grinned at her.
“But you love me.” I sang out.
“Yeah, yeah. Let’s go find a room for your new daughter.” She said, coming around the counter. As we made it to the hybrid wing, Sage wouldn’t stop asking me questions.
“Are you sure Mason and Derek are okay with this?”
“Yes, they are okay with adopting Gabby.” I told her.
“Are you and Mason even talking after this morning?
“Yes, we made up.” I told her.
“fvck, you are hot and cold.” She huffed.
“I’m trying.” I told her.
“I know. And I know this is all new to you. You didn’t grow up in this environment, but you have to be patient.” She told me.
“But Derek and Mason don’t?” I asked her and she sighed.
“I know what you are fighting. I’ve been fighting it my entire life. Nathan could get away with murder, but I couldn’t wear a skirt that went above my knees. But getting yourself killed will not help, now will it?” She said, and I shook my head.
“I get it and I’ll try to be more responsible. I have James and Gabby to think about,” I told her.
“Good, now let’s go get your girl’s room set up.” She said as we entered Gabby’s room. It was simple and there wasn’t much. I’m going online tonight with her and ordering everything she can want for her new room.
Packing everything up, Sage and I could carry everything to her new room. We made it back to our wing, and I found it was closer than l expected. I’m still trying to learn the layout of the castle, but it seems all the rooms or wings are on either side and all the living space is in between the rooms.
We decided that the room across the hallway from ours would be best. Opening the door, it was beautiful with bookshelves and a window seat. It had an ensuite and an enormous closet. And there was a bigger bed in the middle of the room.
“Where did all the furniture come from?” I asked Sage, walking into the closet to put away her clothes.
“Most of it came with the castle.” She said, and I stopped what I was doing and looked out the door at her.
“Really?” I asked her, confused.
“Your magic is confusing.” She said, and I nodded.
“Very.” I said, going back to hanging what clothes she had. After I was done, I walked back to the room to find Sage making her bed.
“Sage, do you think they would let me take Gabby shopping?” I asked her and she sighed.
“Probably not now. We should probably stick to online shopping or l can go. But I think you need to stay put until we figure out this new threat,” She answered, and I sighed.
“I figured, but I thought I would see what you had to say about it. We’ll just go online tonight with her and order her some stuff for her room and some more clothes.” I told her, helping her with the sheets.
“That’s a great idea. Also, get some books and a few more tablets. I noticed they were struggling with reading and writing.” Sage said, and I nodded.
“I’ll get everything ordered tonight.” I told her. We were all done and just about to leave her room.
“Sage, thank you for all your help. I love you and I’m sorry I’m such a pain in your a*ss.” I told her, giving her a side hug.
“You know I love you and I will stand with you. I’m so happy that you found them when you did. Yes, you’re a lot of work, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.” She said, hugging me back.
Walking out of Gabby’s new room, we found her walking out of James’ room. She looked confused, as if she had just woken up.
“Mom, what are you doing?” She asked me.
“Auntie Sage and I were just making up your new room” I told her.
