“My father told me after Ashlyn’s pack was killed that I wouldn’t have a fated mate. That she died and I would have to take a chosen mate. I’m assuming the others did the same,” Derek explained.
“My father or my mother told me nothing about Ashlyn,” Mason sighed.
“Maybe they were hopeful.” I told him, resting my hand on his thigh.
“Maybe,” he murmured.
“So, tomorrow we will study the maps of the area and get our teams together. We should be ready to move out in a few days.” Brandon concluded our planning session.
“We should probably all get some sleep. It’s going to be a long couple of days.” Liam said while cleaning up the take-away trash. The boys started helping him, leaving Sage and me in the living room.
“Sage, you can take my room.” I offered her.
“Thanks, Ashlyn.” We both stood up. I leaned in to whisper to her.
“Or are you sleeping with Brandon?” I asked her and she blushed hard.
“What?” she stuttered. I locked my lips and turned the key. I would never tell.
“Thank you.” She mouthed. I grabbed her arm and led her to my old room. I needed to get some clothes, anyway. We walked in and I closed the door behind me.
“How did you know?” she whispered yelled. I walked into my closet to get changed into sleeping shorts and a camisole.
“Just the way you were looking at him and him you.” I told her when I was done changing.
“Was it that obvious?” She asked, worried.
“You are talking about a room full of guys. They have no clue, and I’ll never tell.” I laughed.
“Thank you.” She breathed out while wrapping me in a hug.
“I’m so happy we found each other again.” I told her.
“Me too.” She pulled away, and I walked over to the door to leave.
“Good night.” I called to her.
“Night.” I heard her say before I closed the door behind me.
Entering the room I share with Mason, I closed the door behind me. The two guys were lying on opposite sides of the bed. I guess I get the middle. I crawled into bed from the bottom, snuggled in between my two mates. Laying on my side, facing Mason with Derek as my big spoon.
They both snuggled in close, and I couldn’t help but feel whole. I felt complete at this moment, breathing in the crisp morning air of the forest after the rain. It didn’t take me long to fall into a peaceful sleep.
Ashlyn
I opened my eyes to find that I was no longer in bed with my mates. I was now standing in a forest that I wasn’t familiar with. Could I be dreaming? It was night, but I could see a dim light coming from up ahead of me.
I quietly made my way to where the light was coming from, making sure I stayed hidden. I looked around a tree truck to see a clearing with torches lit. There were people talking and recognized one of them to be Susan.
She was talking to an older man who had some men around him and she also had some followers around her. The man was tall, slimmer, with longer black hair. He had it tied back at the nape of his neck. I tried to hear what they were saying, but I couldn’t make out everything.
Something about a deal, and she now knows where we are. Dealing with the Alpha King, whatever that means. The man turned in my direction and I ducked lower. I saw his sharp canines and I knew he was a vampire.
Susan bowed her head to him, calling him king. Like vampire king? Then he surprised me by pulling Susan close and kissing her. I tried really hard not to gag. Gross. He pulled away from her and told her that everything would work out and that his men would handle her. I’m assuming he means me. But he called her Queen.
Is the Vampire King working with Susan? If so, this just became way more complicated than we thought. Now we have to get the council involved. I noticed one of the Vampire’s men went up to him and whispered something to him. The man pointed in my direction and I decided it was time to go. I didn’t need them to know I was here.
I kept my body low while I moved away from the clearing. As soon as the surrounding forest provided enough cover, I took off running. I tried to reach out to Tundra, but I couldn’t feel her. I was panicking about how to get out of here and back to my mates.
Not paying attention to my surroundings. I ran right off the edge of a cliff, screaming out in surprise. I was about to hit the rushing water below, preparing myself for the impact, but right before I hit the water, I shook awake.
I sat up in bed between my mates, panting and gasping for breath. What the hell just happened? Mason and Derek were still asleep, and I got up to get some water. I needed to calm my racing heart.
Climbing out from underneath their arms and legs, I finally made my way into the kitchen. I grabbed some water and sat down at the table. I don’t think I’ll be able to go back to sleep after that dream or whatever that was.
“Tundra?” I called to my wolf.
“Yes, Ashlyn.” She grumbled with a yawn.
“What’s a dream but more real called?” I asked her.
“You had a vision.” She told me, making herself more comfy.
“A vision?” I asked her, confused.
“Yes, it’s no big deal. Now go to sleep.” She huffed.
Man, she was grumpy early in the morning. I sat at the table, thinking about what I saw, or witnessed. This was so confusing. How do I know if it was real or not? I knew one thing, though; I needed a meeting with the Vampire King. If he’s involved, he could use the whole vampire army against us. And then we’d still have the rogues and rebels to deal with as well.
I was lost in thought when Brandon walked into the kitchen. He grabbed water from the fridge and sat down at the table across from me.
“Couldn’t sleep?” He asked.
“It’s more like I had a crazy dream and I needed to calm down.” I shrugged.
“Wanna talk about it?” Brandon asked. And I sighed. I explained what happened. I didn’t leave out any details. By the time I was done, Brandon was looking at me, stunned.
“We should probably talk to Sage in the morning about what you experienced. It definitely sounds like a vision of some sort,” he said. And I nodded.
“Speaking of Sage, so you two?” I smirked. And he blushed. And I knew I was right.
“I won’t say anything, I promise. But is she in your room? I’d like to have a bath without waking Mason and Derek.” I asked him.
“Yeah, she’s in my room. Both Mason and Derek, huh?” He raised an eyebrow at me and I laughed.
“Don’t ask. I’m not even sure how we are going to make it work.” I groaned, and Brandon laughed.
“It will work out. They both love you.” He told me.
“Aren’t you just adorable?” I giggled. And he laughed.
“We should head back to bed. We need to get up soon.” Brandon told me while standing up from his chair.
“I’m going to go have a bath. Maybe that will relax me enough to go back to sleep.” I told him, standing. Brandon went back to his room, and I walked into my old room. I entered the bathroom to start the bath while I undressed.
I slid into the hot water and instantly felt better. So much has happened over the last week that I just needed a moment of peace. I can’t believe I have two mates and I may end up with a third if Nathan doesn’t want to give me up. I groaned just thinking about having three mates.
