“Ashlyn didn’t get pregnant during a heat, she hasn’t had one yet.” I told her and my father gasped
“Ashlyn is pregnant!” He exclaimed, and I shushed him.
“She miscarried.” I told him quietly.
“That’s awful. I’m so sorry to hear that, son.” My father gave me a hug.
“Thanks father, maybe when this is all over with, we’ll try again.” I told him. I didn’t even know if Ashlyn wanted kids.
“And Derek, how do you feel about all of this?” my father asked when he pulled away from me. Poor Derek looked like a deer caught in headlights.
“Father, we haven’t had that discussion yet.” I told him and he nodded.
“Fine, but I would like at least one grand baby and I’m sure Victor would also love one.” He said, and Derek started shaking again.
“We are going to head in. We’ll see you at dinner.” I told my father before l led Derek inside to get him away from everyone.
I went to the front desk and got our room keys before showing everyone where we would be staying.
The council building is more like a castle. It has five wings and all the wings have living areas and about 10 bedrooms.
The key card worked for the door to enter our wing, and then everyone could take a bedroom. We all eat in the dining room with a long table that easily fits 60 people. There’s also an industrial-sized kitchen, a library and a pool. There are a few pack houses behind the castle for staff and warriors.
I led everyone to the Wolf wing and opened the front door with the key card. I gave a card to everyone and then told everyone to take a bedroom except the one with the double doors. That room was for Ashlyn, Derek and I.
I walked into our room, and Derek followed, closing the door behind him. I put mine and Ashlyn’s bags down on the couch. And turned my attention to Derek.
“I don’t think I can do this? I should go stay in the Dragon wing.” He told me and I shook my head.
“It will all be okay, but wait for Matt to receive the report and we can tell her together, okay?” I told him.
“Why are you helping me? I thought you’d be happy that she’d most likely reject me.” He asked, confused.
“I don’t want our mate to be hurt. This isn’t something to gloat over. This is our lives and a child’s life.” I told him. And he sighed.
“You get settled. I’m going to go find Ashlyn.” Before I left our room, I told him. I headed out of our wing and to the library. It was by the front entrance of the building.
I walked in and found her curled up on a shag rug in front of the fireplace with a tiny little girl. They were both sleeping peacefully. It stung to think that this could have been our pup. I took out my phone to take a picture before I had to disturb them.
Fae King Jordan walked into the library as I was putting my phone away. I nodded to him in greeting, and he nodded back. He walked over and stood beside me, looking at our sleeping Queen and his princess.
“Your mate is pretty wonderful. Not only did she take time to spend with my daughter, but she reassured my mate’s fears about this whole situation.” Jordan told me.
“Yeah, she’s perfect.” I told him while watching my sleeping mate.
“I’ll see you at dinner.” He told me and I nodded. He scooped up his little girl and left the library. I took the little girl’s spot beside my mate, but I was facing her. She had an arm curled under her head and she looked so peaceful.
I noticed her tiara. It was beautiful. It was gold, crested with emeralds and diamonds. She looked angelic under the orange glow of the fire. I was watching her intently when she jolted awake, making me jump.
She sat up, looking around, panicked.
“Mason, where’s Aurora?” She panted. I assume Aurora is the Fae Princess.
“It’s okay, Baby. The Fae King was just here and picked her up.” I told her while rubbing her arm. She let out a breath.
“Oh, thank goodness.” She panted.
“Ashlyn?” She was sitting up now, and I was resting on my elbow.
“Mason?” She turned to look at me.
“How the hell did you get here?” And she immediately turned away from me, cursing under her breath.
“l jumped off the balcony.” She shrugged, and I sat up.
“You what?” I asked her, stunned. I checked over her for injuries. That balcony is 11 stories high.
“Mason, I’m not hurt. I used air to build stairs to the ground.” She explained, and I gasped.
“Baby, I know you are upset, but you need to tell us where you are going. We were all worried about you until my father called me and told me you had arrived her as Tundra.” I told her and I could see the tears pooling in her eyes.
“I’m sorry, Mason.” She cried. I pulled her between my legs and held her close.
“Baby, why are you sorry?” l asked her, k!ssing the tears off her cheek that weren’t pressed into my chest.
“About Derek.” She sobbed. And I squeezed her.
“Baby, don’t dismiss Derek so easily. Sure, he’s made mistakes, but he loves you so much. Just give him a chance to explain, okay?” I told her and she nodded on my chest.
We sat there in each other’s arms, watching the fire burn in the fireplace. It was amazing to feel connected to her again. These moments seemed few and far between.
I just wanted to live the life I had planned with my mate.
“Ashlyn, do you want kids?” I asked her and she sighed.
“Eventually, but not right now.” She answered, and I snuggled into her neck.
“You looked so adorable, snuggled up with the little Fae princess.” I whispered.
“Mason, I have something to tell you.” She said, and I was immediately on alert.
“l asked the doctor for birth control options since I’m not ready for a baby and he told me it would stop my heat. Which confused me, since I’ve never had a heat. I told him I needed it to stop pregnancies since I’d already suffered a miscarriage and even he was confused. He told me it was rare for a wolf to get pregnant outside her heat.” She confessed.
“The shot the doctor gave you before we took you home?” l asked, and she nodded.
“I was thinking the same thing, and I asked my father about it. He confirmed the heat part. We can always revisit this in, what, five weeks. Since I’m assuming the shot will also prevent you from going into heat?” I said, and she nodded.
“Come on, my love. We should go get ready for dinner.” I patted her thighs before I stood up and reached down my hand for hers to help her up. She looked magical in that dress with her Tierra.
“What?” she asked, catching me admiring her.
“You’re breathtaking,” I whispered before I captured her l!ps in mine.
Ashlyn
After our little make-out session in the library, Mason led me into the dining room. I guess dinner was ready, and we didn’t have time to freshen up. He assured me l looked beautiful. I was feeling anxious about meeting the rest of the council and my other mate, Nathan, again. It’s going to be weird since Nathan is Sage’s twin brother.
We walked through the double-glass paneled doors into a grand dining room. There was a solid oak table with hand carved chairs with red velvet seats. A massive chandelier hung above the table. There were wall to ceiling windows on the far end that looked out into the garden, which I’m sure is perfection in the summer months.
To my surprise, the young ampire King came over to introduce himself and his mate before we sat down.
“King Theo, it’s good to see you.” Mason greeted him.
“Prince Mason, you too, my friend.” They both shook hands.
“You must be Queen Ashlyn?” Theo directed his attention to me.
“It’s just Ashlyn, and it is nice to meet you, King Theo. And this must be your mate?” I asked him.
“This is my Queen, Violet.” He introduced her.
“My Queen.” She bowed.
“It’s so nice to meet you, Queen Violet. Please call me Ashlyn.” I smiled at her.
