“I’ll portal out after we have you settled.”

“No need. I’ll get a warrior that stayed behind to protect the camp to make a run. It should only take about an hour. And the gas station should at least have diapers and wipes.” Brandon said before his eyes clouded and I knew he was mindlinking.

“I’ll go get some clean towels until the warrior arrives back with diapers.” Sage said, and I thanked them both for all their help. Sage passed baby boy to Brandon and ran off to find some towels.

Uncle Ben was still helping me walk, and Brandon was walking beside us with the baby. Baby boy fussed and my breasts were instantly full. I let out a groan. My whole body was sensitive and swollen.

I looked over at a petrified Brandon. He looked like he had just broken his favorite toy. I looked down at baby and he was trying to eat his hand. Poor little guy.

“It’s okay Brandon. He hasn’t eaten yet. I’m sure it’s not you.” I told him, and Uncle Ben chuckled.

We finally made it to the tent, we made our way in, and I sat on the bed before Brandon handed over my starving boy. I lifted my sweatshirt and placed baby in front of one of my nipples. He instantly latched on, and I winced. I’m sure he was doing it right, but fuck, did it hurt. After a few minutes, the pain subsided, and I was thankful for that.

“Brandon, where are they?” I asked him, worried about my mates who still hadn’t arrived back. I was exhausted and I couldn’t mindlinked Mason.

“I’ll go find out and I’ll go find Sage. Gamma Ben, watch them?” He asked my Uncle, and he nodded. Brandon left the tent on a mission to find my mates.

When baby boy was finally done, he was sleeping again. Which I am so thankful for. I could barely keep my eyes open. I lifted him up on my shoulder, stroking his back.

“Lay in the middle of the bed with him on your chest. You both need skin to skin.” Uncle Ben told me.

“Are you sure?” I asked him. I was worried about rolling.

“He will be fine. I’ll be in here. Just take off your sweatshirt and his blanket and lay him on your chest. It will help with bonding.” He explained, and I nodded. He turned around so I could get into bed. I laid my baby boy on my bare chest and he snuggled his little head into me. I kissed the top of his head and covered us in his daddy’s blanket. It smelt like them and it was so soothing to have their scents around me.

I wasn’t sure where they were, but I was safe and our baby was safe. Hopefully, by the time I woke up, they would be here.

Mason

After seeing our baby boy, I knew she believed she wasn’t coming home. She gave this boy life so that we would have a piece of her and it broke me. Looking down at him, my heart swelled with so much pride and love, but it was also breaking for my mate. One of the happiest days of my life can not turn into one of the saddest for our little family.

We all needed his mother. She is the strongest person I know. How the hell was she able to give birth to him all alone? I felt like I had just seen her a few hours ago and she was still pregnant. And he was not ready to even be born yet. Her stomach barely had a bump.

I was leaning on Derek’s shoulder, looking down at our sleeping boy. He’s the cutest baby I’ve ever seen, and the chubbiest cheeks. Derek was holding him and me. He had his arm wrapped around my shoulders and I wondered how he could be so strong in a moment like this.

“Derek, how are you so calm?” I asked him through my sniffles.

“I’m not,” he whispered. He was crying when I looked at him. I leaned my head into his, gripping his shoulder.

“What are we going to do?” I asked him.

“He’s so beautiful. He’s perfect, and she gave him to us. We can’t just let her go without a fight. We need her and he needs his mother.” He told me and I had to agree with him. He was perfect, and she made sure that we wouldn’t lose our child.

“We need to leave. We need to go get her.” I told him. I leaned down to give our son a kiss on his forehead.

“Tundra, you, Sage, and Brandon will watch over baby boy until we return.” I looked over at Tundra. And she nodded her head. I bent down to take baby boy from Derek and he kissed his head before handing him to me. He is so small in my arms.

I snuggled him into my chest while I walked over to the cot Tundra was lying on. I placed him back down beside her and she snuggled into him.

“I will protect him with my life. Now go save my human.” She spoke. I turned to look at Derek, and he was standing now. He nodded, and we both headed for the door flap of the tent. We needed to bring Ashlyn home.

We exited the tent. Sage was sobbing into Brandon’s chest and everyone else looked like they were on the verge of tears.

“Brandon, you and Sage watch over baby boy. Derek and I have a mate to save. We are leaving now.” I told them.

“We are coming too.” Liam spoke, and I nodded.

“Then you better hurry and get everyone ready. We have to leave now. We do not know what condition she is in.” I commanded, and they all nodded.

We took off to the middle of the camp to gather the others and to take off. We had to hurry. I was feeling anxious, not knowing if she was okay or not. She was alive; I knew that. I would have felt the bond break, but I didn’t know what they could be doing to her.

Alpha Ian and Beta Alex were waiting with some of their warriors. Eric was also with them. We stopped in front of the group.

“We are leaving now, for the Emerald Lake pack house. We don’t know what we are walking into. All we know is that our Queen needs us and we are going to go fight to get her back.” I told them.

“We aren’t forcing any of you to come with us. We know that this mission is suicidal, but we need to bring the mother of our boy home.” Derek continued and Alpha Ian and Beta Alex gasped.

“So it’s true. She gave birth?” Eric asked, and I nodded.

“She was pregnant?” Ian asked us, confused.

“It’s a lot to explain. So let’s go get her and she can explain everything.” I told them.

“Let’s go. If you are coming with us, follow us. If you are staying, report to Brandon. We need some warriors to stay and protect the camp,” Derek said, and I nodded.

Alpha Ian left a few of his men and I ordered some of our men to stay as well. Everyone wanted to go with us and you could see the impact that Ashlyn had on all of us. We were all willing to fight and die for her. She was the true Queen.

I told Derek that if Thor let out a howl, that would mean we ran into trouble. We needed eyes in the sky, but we had no way of communicating. We really needed to mark each other. It would make working together easier.

We all shifted. Derek and Matt took the sky as the rest of us wolves ran south to where the pack house was located. We were about halfway there when Brandon was in my head.

“Mason, come back. Ashlyn is here.”

I stopped in my tracks. How the hell can she be there?

“What?”

“She was able to portal back. Gamma Ben is with her. Turns out he is James’ brother.” He told me and I was stunned. How the hell did he survive like Ashlyn did? And why was he with her? My mind was racing, but I needed to tell Derek.

Thor let out a howl, and I shifted back. Liam and Ian also shifted.

“What’s wrong?” Liam rushed out.

“Brandon just told me that Ashlyn is back at the camp.” I told them.

“What? She escaped?” Ian asked, and I nodded.

“She must have. Gamma Ben is with her and he was James’ brother.” I told them. Liam and I both knew him. He helped train us.

“Gamma Ben? But what the hell is he doing out here?” Liam asked, just as Derek and Matt landed, shifting back.

“Mason, what’s wrong?” He rushed over to me, with Matt at his heels.

“Ashlyn is back at the camp.” I told him and he let out a breath of relief.

“So then, let’s go back. We can storm the pack house once we have all the information. She is our first priority.” He said, and I agreed.

“Also, Thor is massive,” Derek commented, and I furrowed my eyebrows at him.

“What are you talking about? He’s always been that size.” I told him and he shook his head.

“He’s right, Mason. Thor is definitely bigger.” Liam told me. And it must be the gift of strength. I knew it would strengthen us. I could feel it, but I didn’t realize that Thor would be bigger.

“Let’s head back and we can get a plan together.” I commanded. Before we could turn around to leave. Vampires and Rogues came out from behind the trees that surrounded us.

“It looks like we outnumber you.” One vampire spoke.

“Who’s here because your families are being threatened?” I asked them. Most of them shifted uncomfortably, looking at their comrades.

“You can’t trick my men. They know you will kill them the first chance you get.” I’m assuming the vampire in charge spoke.

“You don’t have to fight us. King Theo is already working on getting your families to safety. You don’t have to die here today.” I told them.

“Just point us to the ones in charge and we will make sure you are all returned to your families.” Derek spoke, and I nodded my head.

“How dare you try to get my men to turn on me?” The-in-charge vampire yelled. He was furious, but I knew Ashlyn wouldn’t want us to just kill them. She would want us to save them first.

“We are giving you all a chance to live and to see your families again. You should probably take it.” I told them, looking around.

One young vampire and a wolf walked over to our side. I could see the relief on his face. He probably thought he was walking out here to his death. He walked up to me and stood beside me. And the rogue was still in wolf form, sitting beside him.

“Him and that one over there are the commanders.” He pointed to the one that I was speaking with and another one that was standing close by.

“I guess you can surrender or die.” Giving them a choice, but I knew they wouldn’t leave this battle alive. Suddenly, Ashlyn was in my head.

“Mason, where are you?”

“Ashlyn, where the hell are you?” I asked her. I was so relieved to hear from her.

“I’m back at the camp. I need you and Derek.” She said before the link cut out.

“How fucken dare you betray your king and your own kind!” He growled out.

“He betrayed his people when he threatened us and our families, so we would fight. If I can see my family again, I’ll take my chances with the wolf and dragon.” The young vampire spoke, and I was proud of him for standing up to his superior, like he just did.

“We need to get back.” I told Derek.

I wish we had Ashlyn here so she could just make these two vampires explode. I looked at Derek and we both started walking towards a different commander.

The one I started walking over to was trying to hide the tremor of fear that shook his body. I could smell his fear and I could see it in his eyes. I didn’t give him a chance to fight, run, or even speak.
