“Friends?” I asked Derek.
“Oh, no. Dragon Prince Derek is just a mouthful.” He chuckled.
“Derek, why didn’t you tell me you were the Dragon Prince when we first met?” I asked him while Alex passed me a mug of coffee.
“Because I didn’t want to scare you,” He told me while drinking his coffee. lan slid over a plate with some toast and jam. And I smiled at him.
“Thank you, lan. I appreciate it.” I told him. He knew me all too well. When I’m sad, sugar and sweets make me feel better. I started eating and drinking my coffee, while the three guys just stared at me.
“What?” l asked them with a mouth full of toasted jam goodness.
“We are just making sure you’re okay, Ashlyn,” Lan answered, his voice laced with concern. I finished chewing before I answered him.
“lan, I’ll be okay,” I said, and he nodded.
“Where are Brandon and Sage?” I asked them.
“Ashlyn, they went to help Liam with Mason,” Derek answered. And I remember Mason mentioning Sage earlier.
“ls that who you were talking to on the phone?” Derek asked, and I nodded.
“How are you doing?” lan asked, leaning over the kitchen island.
“I’ll be better once this is all over,” I told him, and he nodded.
“Is it okay if I stay here for a few days, lan?” I asked.
“You’re always welcomed here, Ashlyn. And Derek, you are welcome to stay as well. Alex and I have to head out now to handle some pack business. But we’ll be back tonight. Ashlyn, I have my phone if you need anything.” lan answered, and l gave him a smile.
“Thank you lan.” He walked around the island to give me a hug.
“I’m always here for you.” He whispered before he pulled away. Alex and he left the kitchen, leaving me alone with the Dragon Prince.
“Can I ask you a question?” Derek asked hesitantly.
“Of course, you can,” I told him while drinking more of my coffee. I had already finished my toast and was feeling better.
“How can you be so nice to that guy?” He asked, referring to lan.
“Simple. We had been friends for years and I know he cheated on me, but he was going through a hard time after his mother’s death. He needed things I wasn’t giving him, and he didn’t know how to communicate that to me. I forgave him because l missed my best friend.
That may sound strange to you. I should hate him, but I don’t. If he hadn’t done what he did, I never would have met iMason. lan was the reason I left here and went to Silver Moon. Also, I spend a lot of time here. His mother practically raised me after my parents died.” I explained.
And he nodded.
“Maybe whomever gave you two the love potion used it to keep you away from Silver Moon.” He suggested. And that made sense. If l never caught him cheating, we would still be together.
“But then someone knew that I would have been mated to Mason. And how would someone have known that?” l asked him. And he shrugged. I turned to face him while grabbing his hands in mine.
“You can leave, I’ll understand. I know this is a lot to deal with,” I told him, and his eyebrows furrowed.
“Ashlyn, I want to be with you. I don’t want to give up my fated mate.” He told me and I was stunned.
“But Mason?” I asked, and he shrugged.
“Would it be selfish of me to ask you to share?” He asked me.
“You’d share me with Mason?” I asked, speaking slowly.
“If it means I get to keep you, then yes. Most Dragons have more than one mate, so it’s not uncommon for us.” He told me. And now I was curious.
“Did your father ever get another fated mate?”
“He didn’t. He chose my mother. She wasn’t a good choice. She ran off with her lover when I was 10.” He said sorrowfully.
“I’m so sorry, Derek. That must have been hard.” I told him sympathetically, squeezing his hands that I was still holding.
“That wasn’t hard. I hated my mother. She was a cruel woman. I was glad when she left. It was hard growing up knowing that you would never have a fated mate.” He said, and I gasped.
“How did you know?” I asked, stunned.
“My father told me she died with her pack. He never got a second chance, so I probably wouldn’t either. But then I found you in the middle of nowhere.” He said, smiling at me.
“After this is all over, we can sit down and talk about our relationship and where we think it should go. But all parties would have to agree, okay?” I smiled at him. He leaned in and wrapped his arms around me.
“I’ll do anything that you ask of me,” he whispered.
And how could I not give him a chance? He was my fated mate, and making him live with a chosen mate wouldn’t be fair.
Just then, Derek’s phone started ringing in his pocket. He leaned back to pull it out. Looking at the screen, he told me Brandon was calling.
“Brandon?” He answered.
Mason
I woke with a start, guilt smashing into me as I remembered what had happened yesterday. Ashlyn has to hate me. I hated myself for being so stupid.
I was so worried about protecting Ashlyn that I failed to protect myself. They would come after me. I should have known that. I ‘was the closest one to her and now she will never forgive me.
I don’t even know what happened. One minute I’m in love with Ashlyn and the next I feel the pull for Amber. I feel the same things I feel for Ashlyn, but towards Amber.
And it was like I couldn’t remember the feelings I had for Ashlyn. Ashlyn felt like a stranger to me.
The pain that I caused her is unforgivable, but I couldn’t imagine my life without her. Tears blurred my vision as I thought about the family we would have been.
I was going to be a father, and they took that away from me. They have fvcked with our lives for the last time. I was going to hunt them down and kill them all.
Thor was growling in my head. He wanted revenge for our lost pup just as badly as I did. I got out of bed with newfound determination. They wanted a war, and they officially got one.
I had a quick shower and got dressed in dark jeans and a dark grey Henley shirt. As I was walking into the living room, I heard my phone ringing on the coffee table.
I picked it up to find it was Ashlyn.
“Ashlyn?” I answered.
“Hi Mason.” she whispered, and I could hear the pain in her voice.
“Where are you? Are you okay?” I rushed out.
“Mason, I need to tell you something” She told me, her voice heavy with sadness.
“Ashlyn, I know. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry, baby.” I told her, breaking down.
“Please, come home, baby. I promise to make this right. I love you so much.” I pleaded.
“Mason, what happened?” She asked me through her gasps.
“Magic? I don’t know the details. But I know you were able to break the magic suppressing our bond.” I told her.
“How do you know that?” She asked me, calming down.
“Your friend Sage told me. You freed me from the spell, baby. I love you so much. I’ve always loved you. Please come home. I need you.” I told her, desperately.
“Mason, l just need some time. I’ll be home in a few days and you can call and text me anytime. Okay?” She told me.
