And how I will always watch over him. Crying, but not just from the pain of childbirth.
Soon, I wasn’t able to talk through the contractions and they were so close together that I couldn’t catch my breath. I was panting and gritting my teeth, trying not to scream out. I didn’t want them to hear me. The pain was building, stronger and more intense by the second, and I do not know how anyone could endure this kind of pain.
“Ashlyn, you need to push.” Tundra told me.
“Tundra, I can’t” I cried out.
“Ashlyn, you have to. I’m right here.” She told me. I knew she was staying inside me to help me heal and to take away some of the pain.
I leaned over the side of the tub and grabbed a towel. I shoved some of it in my mouth so I could bite down and hopefully, it would muffle the screams.
Gripping the sides of the tub, I pushed through the next contraction. I worked with Grace at the hospital and I’ve helped with expecting mothers, but watching and doing are two completely different things.
I could feel the burning and the pressure from his head pushing closer to his exit. I stopped to take a breath before the next contraction could start.
“That’s it, momma wolf. You got this. He’s almost here.” Tundra said. I was so glad that I had Tundra.
With one more big push, I reached between my legs and felt his head. I could get a grip on his tiny body and I pulled him out of me and out of the water. He cried when I was wiping his face off with the now soaking towel I was biting down on.
I held his tiny body to my chest, breathing in the scents of my mates. The all too real realization that I would not be a part of my baby boy’s life hit me.
When the final contraction hit, I pulled out the placenta. Tundra was healing me as fast as she could. I didn’t have time to savor those moments with him. I didn’t know when someone would barge their way in here.
I leaned over the tub and gently placed him on a towel l had already laid out for him. Looking down at him, he looked up at me with Derek’s sea-green eyes. He had dark hair like Mason, and he was a good mix of both of them. This little boy truly represented my love for both of my mates.
He was the cutest, chubbiest baby I’ve ever seen.
Little Aurora walked into the bathroom, rubbing her eyes, and I knew it must be morning. I had little time left to get them both to safety.
“Queen Ashly, I need to pee.” She yawned. She didn’t even notice that I was still in the tub and that there was a baby lying on the floor.
“You go pee, sweetie. After, we are going to get you dressed and then I’m going to get you home.” I told her and she nodded her little head.
While she was peeing, I climbed out of the tub and wrapped a towel around me. Still covered in blood, but I didn’t have time to worry about that. I needed to get the baby boy ready to meet his daddies.
I kneeled down beside him and used the floss to tie off his umbilical cord. I had to use my teeth to bite through the cord. Of course, they wouldn’t leave anything sharp in here.
I was just drying him off when Aurora came over to us. She leaned over and gasped at the baby boy.
“Queen Ashy, where did the baby come from?” She asked me.
“This is my baby.” I told her.
“Wow.” She said in wonder.
After I dried him off, I wrapped him in a clean towel before I picked him up. I walked into the bedroom and laid him on the bed. Aurora followed behind me.
“Aurora, we have to hurry.” I told her while I was changing her out of her clothes and into the new ones I had found, feeling anxious while I got her ready. I didn’t know when the door would fly open and someone would come in and see that baby boy was no longer inside me.
I pulled on my clothes that I was wearing earlier and then I wrapped baby boy in the hoodie I found in the closet. I willed Tundra out and she appeared beside Aurora.
“Tundra!” She squealed out, hugging my wolf.
“Shhh. We have to be quiet,” I told her.
I wrapped baby boy all up and tied the sleeves of the hoodie into a handle so Tundra could carry him. She was going with them to make sure that they were safe. It was just going to be me, my powers and my magic that I’d have to learn how to use real quick.
Kneeling down beside Tundra, cradling my baby boy in my arms. I was trying not to cry. I needed to show Aurora that everything was going to be okay.
“Tundra, take care of them.” I told her. She licked my cheek and then gently nuzzled baby’s cheek.
“Queen Ashy, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
Aurora came over to me and wiped a tear from my cheek.
“Everything will be okay.” I told her, wrapping an arm around her and pulling her close. I k!ssed her forehead.
“Tundra is going to keep you and baby safe, but I need you to be brave, okay? Do you understand?” I asked her. She looked up at me and nodded.
“I love you, Queen Ashy.” She said, wrapping her arms around my neck.
“I love you, Aurora.” I told her, my voice cracked, and I was thankful she didn’t say anything.
“Now, we don’t have much time,” I told her, and she nodded.
I hugged and k!ssed my boy one more time before I handed the handle over to Tundra. She opened her mouth, taking her small pup.
“Protect them.” I told her and she gently nodded, just enough to let me know, but not enough to disturb the baby.
I stood up, focusing on the magic that was surrounding the room. I needed to break it before I could open a portal.
The magic was powerful, but I pushed back with everything that I had. The magic was red, and I knew it had been tainted, but I used my anger, my burning hatred I had for the only blood family I had left. I used everything I had until I felt the spell shatter.
Gasping for breath, I knew I had little time before that witch stormed in here. Thinking about my tent, I pictured the four tan walls of the tent and opened a portal inside the tent. I heard a commotion outside the door.
“Hurry, we don’t have much time.” I told them.
“Queen Ashy, come on,” Aurora motioned me to go with them.
“I can’t go. I need to protect everyone. Hurry.” I told her. Tundra, carrying the baby boy, nudged Aurora through the portal, and I closed it behind them.
Just then, the door was thrown open and an angry Morgan stormed in with a few warriors behind her.
“Where’s the princess?” She demanded.
“Safe.” I told her.
I focused on the pressure in my chest and on the warriors behind her. I couldn’t make her explode, but I could get these warriors. The pressure was too much for me to hold. Squeezing my hands closed, all four of them exploded over the witch, causing her to scream out.
“What the fvck did you do? You know you can’t fvcken kill me.” She screamed at me, drenched in blood.
“You’d be surprised at what you can live through.” I told her before I made her arm explode. She let out an agonizing scream as the blood was squirting out of her shoulder.
While she was busy screaming and trying to get the blood to stop. I focused on the protection spell that was protecting her from death. The magic was powerful, and it caused me intense pain, but nothing could compare to having to say goodbye to your newborn. If I could kill her, all of her spells that have been cast would break. The others would be able to kill them.
I focused on the love I had for my mates, for our beautiful baby and for our friends that are now my family. I focused on the love and happiness my mates gave me. The love I had for our baby boy.
The spell broke with so much force that both of us were thrown into the walls on the opposite sides of the room. The blast knocked Morgan out. I looked over at her, closing my hand. She exploded with a loud pop.
One down, only three more to go.
Sage
I was talking with Delta Dylan outside my tent. I was growing frustrated with the fact that I couldn’t trace Ashlyn. They must have magic protecting the location.
“So, what do you want to do?” He asked me, and I let out a sigh.
“ls there anything that we can do? We need more warriors. We don’t know what we are walking into and if they have anymore dragons. Without Derek relaying to us what happened in the sky, we are walking blind.” And it was his turn to sigh.
“We should go eat something and wait for orders. Someone has to know something.” He said, and I nodded. Not that I think I will eat anything. My sister and nephew are in a shark tank and I can’t do anything to help protect them.
“The Fae King should be here soon. Nathan texted me, informing me that Mason told him they had taken the Fae Princess. I don’t have anymore details other than that he called King Jordan, and he’s on his way here now.” I told him and he nodded.
“Let’s find Brandon and wait. That’s all we can do.” he said, sounding as defended as I felt.
