“That’s not fair, Ashlyn. Your mother and I were trying to protect you,” he retorted. Her comments clearly hurt him.
“It doesn’t change the fact that James raised me. Both of you should have given him a choice, but you didn’t.” She told him.
“He was also the one that gave you and lan the love potion,” Sage told her, and I glared at Sage.
“What?” she stuttered out.
“I was trying to give you a normal life.” He sighed.
She pulled away from Derek and walked right up to the Warlock King. She was just about to slip him across the face, but he grabbed her wrist. Her eyes turned white as she gasped out.
“What the hell is going on?” l yelled at Sage.
“I don’t know.” She yelled back.
Ashlyn’s eyes closed, and whatever it was threw her through the air backwards. She hit the ground with a thud, rolling until she hit a boulder in the garden. Derek and I both ran over to her.
She was unconscious and I could feel that some of her ribs were broken. I was screaming her name, trying to wake her. What the hell just happened?
“Sage, we need a portal!” l yelled at her. I scooped up Ashlyn carefully, holding her close to my chest. Everyone was around us when I stood up. Derek walked over to King Gregory and punched him in the face.
“If anything happens to her, you’re the first one I’m coming for!” Derek yelled. And I was just as furious.
“I did nothing!” King Gregory yelled out, while getting up off the ground.
“Do you think that I’d hurt my blood?” He screamed.
“Sage?” I turned to her. And she nodded. She grabbed my hand, and I thought of the outside of our pack hospital. She opened a portal, and I stepped through, carrying Ashlyn. Derek was beside me, and we rushed her into the ER.
Ashlyn
I’m not sure what happened. I remember Sage telling me that her father was the one that gave lan and me the love potion and then it’s all blank. Darkness surrounded me when I opened my eyes. I must be back in the in between.
“You’re here, Ashlyn, because I need to speak with you.” A female voice called out. I expected it to be my mother, but it wasn’t.
“Who are you?” I asked.
“I’m the mood goddess, Selene.”
“And what do you need to speak to me about?” I asked her.
“I asked your mother to give me a hybrid child. It was always your mother’s destiny to bring together the mystical world. To strengthen them, we are a dying breed and hybrids are the way of our future.”
“But why me?”
“I’ve trusted your family for generations. Your grandmother is the only one that has ever had ill intentions. That’s the reason I took away her powers and her mates. I want to save the mystical world, where she would have destroyed it.”
“Why didn’t you explain all of this to my mother?”
“I did. I told her she wouldn’t conceive with just James as her mate. She didn’t believe me at first. Three years later, she finally sought the help of the Warlock King.”
“Did it matter which mate she sought?”
“No, as long as they conceived you, I didn’t care who she chose.”
“What about James?” I sighed.
“l understand that you’re upset about James not being your father, but he was. He marked your mother before they conceived you. You have two fathers, just like your children will have. When your mate marks you, they give you a piece of them. A piece that is passed down to your child. He was always your father, and he would have accepted you. He loves you and he’s so proud of the woman you have become.” She explained, and I let out a sob. I missed him so much.
“He’s proud of me?” I sobbed out.
“As am I. I know this is hard, but it will be all over soon. And then you’ll be able to live the life I destined you for.”
“And what life is that?” I asked through my tears.
“You and your mates will reunite the mystical world. Hybrids will strengthen our world, and you’ll be there to help. Within a few generations, the mate bond will bond every species of the mystical world. But until then, I will need your help. You can bless people with a mate bond, as long as they have formed no bond with another.”
“I don’t understand,” I whispered.
“I know this is a lot to take in, but I promise it will all make sense soon.”
“Can you tell me how to end this?”
“She will find you, and you will know what to do.
Focus on using your magic and your powers, for when they find you, you need to be ready. You need to wake up now. Your mates are going crazy with worry.”
“But I still have so many questions,” I yelled out to her. My world spun, and I knew I was going back.
“Believe in yourself, Ashlyn, like we all do.” Her voice echoed, and I shook myself awake.
I woke up lying in a hospital bed. I had an IV in my hand and l could hear the heart monitor beeping.
“Ashlyn!” Mason exclaimed. He was leaning his forehand against mine before I could even register where he was in the room.
“Babygirl, what happened?” Derek was leaning into my neck from the other side of the bed. I was finding it hard to breathe or even move my abdomen.
“What happened?” I whispered.
“Baby, what’s the last thing you remember?” Mason asked.
“I remember Sage telling me about the love potion and then nothing.” I rasped out. Derek held up a glass of water with a straw so l could take a sip. I drank the whole glass before my dry throat was satisfied.
“Where are we?” I asked them. They were both sitting on either side of me now.
“We are at the Silver Moon pack hospital. Sage opened a portal after the incident.” Mason told me.
“What incident?” I asked. Mason sighed, but Derek growled.
“I punched your father.” Derek admitted.
“Why?” I asked, confused.
“After Sage told you about what your father had done, you were about to slap him, but he grabbed your wrist. Your eyes turned white, and it threw you back with some kind of force. You hit the ground hard and rolled into a boulder that was in the garden. You have a few broken ribs, but they should heal in a few hours.” Mason explained.
“And where is everyone?” I breathed out, just wanting to go home.
“They were here, but Sage went back to the council building to get the others.” Derek told me.
“Can we go home?” l yawned.
“I’ll get the Doctor.” Derek stood up, k!ssing my forehead before he exited the room.
“How’s your breathing?” Mason asked, concerned.
“It hurts, but I’m okay. I just want to go home.” I told him. He rested his head on my shoulder and I rested my head on his. He took a deep breath.
“Do you know what happened?” He whispered, and I let out a sigh.
“The moon goddess wanted to speak with me.” I told him. He sat up to look at me, stunned.
Derek and the doctor walked in, so I wasn’t able to explain further. The doctor looked over my ribs, which were still tender but no longer broken. He told me I could go home as long as I ate something and napped. The more I rested, the faster I would heal. l agreed with him. I was starving and exhausted.
Since we didn’t have Sage here, we weren’t able to portal to our apartment. A nurse brought me some Scrubs to wear. Derek and Mason both helped me get dressed so we could leave. Neither of them would allow me to walk. Derek carried me to the car, waiting for us.
