“What did you do?” She whispered, tears running down her cheeks.
“I gifted you with the gift of peace. You’ve been in pain for so long you forgot how it felt to be happy. To feel the joy that your life brings to others. You’ve been so blinded by his lack of love for you that you haven’t been able to see that others have loved you, have missed you dearly.” I told her. She was crying now, and I could see all her regrets.
“I am so sorry, Ashlyn.” She cried, wrapping me in a hug.
“I know you are.” I whispered to her.
I heard a commotion behind me and I pulled away from Liz to see that Sage and Brandon running up to the group.
Sage stopped in her tracks when I pulled away from her mother and she could finally see who I was hugging.
Sage let out a gasp and Nathan walked over to his sister.
“Mom?” Sage whispered.
“Oh my Sage,” her mother cried out. I moved away from Liz to give her children space to embrace their mother. I moved back closer to Mason and Derek, and both of them took one of my hands. My knees buckled, but my mates both helped me to stand.
“Baby, what’s wrong?” Mason rushed out, worried.
“I’m okay. I just used magic to tell if she was lying. It took a lot more out of me than I thought it would.” I told them, patting Mason’s shoulder to comfort him.
“The exhaustion should pass in a few weeks.” Liz said as she and her children walked closer to us.
“It’s just when I use magic,” I told her, and she nodded.
“It usually only lasts for the first ten weeks. Have you had any cravings?” She asked me, and I nodded.
“Cookies.” I told her and she laughed.
“You are having a baby boy.” And I looked at her, shocked. How the hell would she know that?
“For witches, boys crave sweets and girls crave salty things.” She told me with a smile.
“Being pregnant with both must have been a fun ride.” I told her and she laughed.
“Yeah, it was definitely interesting.” She told me. And l gave her a smile.
“We should head back. The warriors still need to finish their patrol,” Derek said, and I nodded. I tried to move away from them, but Mason scooped me up bridal style.
“Mason, I can walk.” I huffed out.
“I know. I just wanted to carry you.” He whispered, k!ssing my nose.
“I’ll allow it, because that was adorable.” I told him and he laughed. Nathan opened a portal, and I looked up at Mason.
“Put me down. I really don’t want to throw up all over you.” I told him.
Mason put me down just before he stepped through the portal. When I stepped through, I threw up whatever was left after my last throw up. Mason rubbed my back as I spit out the nasty taste in my mouth.
“I can make up some herbs that will help with the nausea.” Liz offered, and I nodded.
“It’s only when I portal. I feel okay other than that. Just tired and hungry.” I told her and she nodded.
“Portalling shakes up your stomach. You may not notice it, but when you are pregnant, it can cause you to throw up or gag. I’m not sure if it will go away until after you give birth, but I’ll make something up for you.” She told me and I thanked her.
“Let’s go to our office. We can discuss everything.” Derek said, scooping me up like Mason just did.
“Derek, I can still walk.” I told him.
“I’ll give you a cookie.” He smiled.
“It better be a big cookie.” I huffed while they led the group to where their office tent was located. tent.
“The biggest.” He said, k!ssing my nose. We walked into the tent and I noticed that there wouldn’t be enough places for all of us to sit. I closed my eyes and pictured a large picnic table. When I opened my eyes, the table had manifested in the middle.
“What the hell was that?” Mason gasped out.
“I can make things manifest.” I told them while Derek was placing me down.
“Now, I want my cookie.” I told him and Liz let out a laugh.
“l remember those days.” She reminisced.
“I’ve always had a sweet tooth, but this is over the top.” I told her with a laugh. “I feel like I would kill someone over a damn cookie.” And she laughed.
“It should get better, but then again, the baby is part dragon, wolf and warlock. So everything is going to be a surprise.” She told me.
“Yay.” I told her unenthusiastically. This was going to be a long 14 weeks. We all took a seat. Mason was digqing in his desk before he came to sit beside me. He handed me a bag of cookies, and I raised an eyebrow at him.
“Why do you have cookies in your desk?” I asked him curiously.
“Derek. When he gets grumpy, I give him a cookie.”
Mason told me and I laughed. I looked over at Derek, and he was glaring at Mason.
“Really, Mase?” He huffed.
“You’re an a*ss when you’re hungry,” Mason told him, shrugging his shoulders.
“So when baby boy is hungry, I’ll become unbearable. You two had better remember that.” I told them with a giggle. How am I ever going to survive with a mini version of my mates?
After taking a bite of a cookie, I turned my attention back to Liz. She was sitting on the other side between Sage and Nathan. Brandon was sitting beside Sage. All of them looked so happy to be reunited.
“Liz, what can you tell us about what Susan is planning?” l asked her.
“You remember my name,” She said with a smile. And I returned it. It was what she said next that wiped the smile off my face.
“She has dragons.”
Ashlyn
“What do you mean, they have dragons?” I asked her, concerned. Dragons were the strongest of all the races.
Not that the others would agree, but they could burn the whole earth to the ground if they really wanted to and no one could stop them.
“That Chantel something. She works for Susan. She is one of her informants.” Liz answered, and I looked over at Derek.
“Well, she is dead now. Can you show me who else is working for Susan?” I asked her.
“You killed her?” Liz asked, and I nodded.
“She was the one that was causing all the problems for the people on the ground. Her job was to lead the others into ambushes.” She explained, and both Derek and Mason cursed.
“It all makes sense now,” Mason spoke, and l just pushed my l!ps into a line. If I had been here, I could have fixed that problem earlier.
“Okay. Is there anything else?” I asked her. And she looked at me, stunned.
“l just told you they have dragons on their payroll. Isn’t that not bad enough?” I snapped my fingers, causing fire to ignite on the end of my thumb. Liz gasped out as I manipulated the fire.
“You can control fire.” She asked me, shocked.
“I can. I can control all the elements. Dragon’s breath doesn’t affect me. So leave the dragons to me.” I told her and she nodded.
“Babygirl, I’m not letting you go after dragons.” Derek told me. He grabbed my shoulder, turning my body to face his.
