Ashlyn
I finally made it to the Blue Moon pack gates. I had to stop a few times to let my tears out. The pain I’m feeling is unimaginable and I don’t know how anyone survives their mate’s rejection or their death.
Rolling my window down so the warrior on duty could wave me in, and I’m sure I looked like a fucken mess. The gate opened, and the warrior waved me in.
As I drove to the pack house, I was thinking about how Mason could do this to me. The first week I was back was magical. He was so wonderful. What the hell is wrong with me that no one can love me?
When I pulled up in front of the pack house, I cried into my hands again. I couldn’t breathe and the pain in my chest was getting stronger. I didn’t even notice the people standing outside the pack house until my door was opened and Derek wrapped me in his arms.
“Derek?” I sobbed.
“It’s okay, Babygirl. I got you.” He whispered, squeezing me.
“What the hell is wrong with me?” I gasped out. He took my cheeks in his hands, turning my head so I was looking into his eyes.
“Nothing is wrong with you, Babygirl. I knew from the moment I saw you in these woods that I couldn’t find better than you. Mason and even the Alpha here are idiots to think that they could ever find someone better than you.” He said before kissing my forehead. We stayed like that until I could get my sobs and breathing under control.
“Derek, how did you know I was here?” I asked him, through my sniffles. Curious to know how he knew where I was going?
“Come inside. We have lots to tell you.” He mumbled against my forehead.
“We?” I asked, confused. And he nodded. I turned off my vehicle and grabbed my purse from the passenger seat. Derek took my other hand and led me into the pack house.
We walked into the living room. Ian and Alex were sitting on the couch waiting, but I was surprised by who was sitting on the other couch, Brandon and…..
“Sage?” I gasped. She rushed up to me, wrapping me in a tight hug, and I hugged her back just as tight.
“I thought you were lost?” I whispered.
“I wasn’t there that day. I’m so sorry about your family, Ashlyn.” She said, and I nodded on her shoulder. I can’t believe my childhood best friend is alive and here. But I was confused. Why were they here? And how did they get here so fast?
Sage pulled out of the hug, looking at me, and I knew I was a mess. Derek was still standing beside me with a hand on my lower back, and I welcomed his comfort.
“Come sit down. I know you are probably wondering why we are here.” She said, leading me over to the love seat while Derek sat beside Brandon.
“Brandon, what are you doing here?” I turned my attention to my ex-mate’s, Beta.
“I’m Beta to the Luna Queen. Did you honestly think I would just abandon you?” He said, and I was about to bust into tears again.
“Thank you.” I whispered, wiping the tears off my cheeks.
“Ashlyn, how are you feeling?” Sage asked me.
“Broken.” I told her while trying to hold back my sobs.
“I know, sweetheart.” She whispered while rubbing my back.
“Are you okay with listening?” Sage asked me and I nodded.
“Whatever you guys have to tell me can’t be worse than what….” I pinched the bridge of my nose, hoping to stop the tears from falling. I couldn’t even say his name.
“Ashlyn, I can’t even imagine what you are feeling right now, but I need you to be calm, okay? The powers you possess are linked to your emotions.” Sage said while she rubbed my back and I nodded.
“Babygirl, I didn’t realize we were mates the first time we met because I knew your mother by her maid’s name. Your mother was mated to my father, along with the four other council members. She chose your father and the other four respected that decision but asked your father to step down as Alpha King, which he did. The new Alpha King was your father’s beta, and he stepped up in your father’s place. Her other four mates took on chosen mates and here we are.” Derek explained.
“What does this all mean?” I asked them.
“It means that you are Luna Queen.” Brandon said, and I stood up and started pacing the room.
“I don’t want to be Queen. I didn’t want any of this!” I yelled. They were all standing now, looking at me like I was a ticking time bomb and maybe I was.
“Ashlyn, I need you to calm down. I know this is a lot, but I also know that you wouldn’t want to hurt anyone in this room.” Sage said calmly, trying to cover the worry in her voice. And she was right. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I hurt any of them.
I tried to take big, deep breaths when my lower abdomen cramped. I tried to apply pressure with my hands to make it stop, but it kept growing in intensity until I felt a warm gush of liquid from between my legs.
I couldn’t focus on the people in the room as I was trying to talk with Tundra. I think I knew what was happening, but I didn’t want to believe it.
“Tundra!” I cried out to her.
“I’m so sorry, Ashlyn. The pain was too much and I couldn’t hold on. I couldn’t protect our pup.” She whimpered for our loss.
“Tundra, it’s not your fault. You did everything you could.”
I tried to comfort my wolf, even though my soul was breaking. He made me lose our pup. Derek pulled me from my wolf when he scooped me up into his arms.
“I lost my baby.” I cried into his chest. He kissed my head while he followed the others to the hospital beside the pack house.
Derek placed me on a bed in one room and the doctor asked them all to leave the room. There was no fight lift in me. I felt dead inside. I just lay there while that doctor and nurses cleaned me up and hooked me up to an iv. The doctor performed an ultrasound and confirmed what my wolf had already told me.
After the doctor and nurses were done and gone, I sat up on the bed and sobbed into my knees. How could he do this to me?
Gamma Liam
I finally returned to the apartment after searching hours for Ashlyn. She was not in the city and I was worried that she had been taken again.
Mason was sitting in the living room on his phone and thank the goddess that Amber wasn’t with him. I’d probably kill her myself. How Mason has been treating Ashlyn infuriated me. She’s his mate. You don’t throw mates away. Bandon and I had been fighting with him all week about his attitude, and I was about ready to kick his ass.
Before I called Brandon, I went into the kitchen to grab a drink. I couldn’t mindlink him and I wasn’t sure why he was out of range. I pulled out my phone when I was done and Brandon answered after the second ring.
“Brandon, where the hell are you?” I yelled.
“Liam, I’m with Ashlyn.” He said, and I gasped.
“You found her?” I exclaimed.
“Yes, I’m here with Dragon Prince Derek and Ashlyn’s witch friend Sage.” He explained.
“And where are you?” I asked him.
“I’m not going to say,” he answered, and I understood he didn’t want Mason to know.
“How is she?” I asked, concerned about my Queen and friend.
“She isn’t doing well. We had to rush her to the hospital.” He explained, until I heard Mason scream from the living room. I rushed in to see him crocheted over, holding his chest.
“What the hell is happening?” Brandon yelled into the phone. I put the phone on speaker before I sat down beside Mason and I put my phone on the coffee table.
