And why was he with her? My mind was racing, but I needed to tell Derek.
Thor let out a howl, and I shifted back. Liam and lan also shifted.
“What’s wrong?” Liam rushed out.
“Brandon just told me that Ashlyn is back at the camp.” I told them.
“What? She escaped?” lan asked, and I nodded.
“She must have. Gamma Ben is with her and he was James’ brother.” I told them. Liam and I both knew him.
He helped train us.
“Gamma Ben? But what the hell is he doing out here?” Liam asked, just as Derek and Matt landed, shifting back.
“Mason, what’s wrong?” He rushed over to me, with Matt at his heels.
“Ashlyn is back at the camp.” I told him and he let out a breath of relief.
“So then, let’s go back. We can storm the pack house once we have all the information. She is our first priority.” He said, and I agreed.
“Also, Thor is massive,” Derek commented, and I furrowed my eyebrows at him.
“What are you talking about? He’s always been that size.” I told him and he shook his head.
“He’s right, Mason. Thor is definitely bigger.” Liam told me. And it must be the gift of strength. I knew it would strengthen us. I could feel it, but I didn’t realize that Thor would be bigger.
“Let’s head back and we can get a plan together.” I commanded. Before we could turn around to leave.
Vampires and Rogues came out from behind the trees that surrounded us.
“It looks like we outnumber you.” One vampire spoke.
“Who’s here because your families are being threatened?” I asked them. Most of them shifted uncomfortably, looking at their comrades.
“You can’t trick my men. They know you will kill them the first chance you get.” I’m assuming the vampire in charge spoke.
“You don’t have to fight us. King Theo is already working on getting your families to safety. You don’t have to die here today.” I told them.
“Just point us to the ones in charge and we will make sure you are all returned to your families.” Derek spoke, and I nodded my head.
“How dare you try to get my men to turn on me?” The-in-charge vampire yelled. He was furious, but I knew Ashlyn wouldn’t want us to just kill them. She would want us to save them first.
“We are giving you all a chance to live and to see your families again. You should probably take it.” I told them, looking around.
One young vampire and a wolf walked over to our side. I could see the relief on his face. He probably thought he was walking out here to his death. He walked up to me and stood beside me. And the rogue was still in wolf form, sitting beside him.
“Him and that one over there are the commanders.” He pointed to the one that I was speaking with and another one that was standing close by.
“l guess you can surrender or die.” Giving them a choice, but I knew they wouldn’t leave this battle alive.
Suddenly, Ashlyn was in my head.
“Mason, where are you?”
“Ashlyn, where the hell are you?” l asked her. I was so relieved to hear from her.
“I’m back at the camp. I need you and Derek.” She said before the link cut out.
“How fucken dare you betray your king and your own kind!” He growled out.
“He betrayed his people when he threatened us and our families, so we would fight. If I can see my family again, I’ll take my chances with the wolf and dragon.”
The young vampire spoke, and I was proud of him for standing up to his superior, like he just did.
“We need to get back.” I told Derek.
I wish we had Ashlyn here so she could just make these two vampires explode. I looked at Derek and we both started walking towards a different commander.
The one l started walking over to was trying to hide the tremor of fear that shook his body. I could smell his fear and I could see it in his eyes. I didn’t give him a chance to fight, run, or even speak.
My claws slipped out, and I reached into his chest, ripping his heart out. His body dropped to the ground, and I crushed his heart in my hand. I looked over at Derek, and had done the same thing. We were both now covered in blood, and I was eager to get back to the camp.
I walked over to Derek. Now we have these vampires and rogues to deal with. We were going to need a witch to help us sift through the truth. And we needed to contact King Theo and let him know we had more vampires.
“Derek, we need to get back. Ashlyn sent me a mindlink. I can’t get it back.” I told him. And he nodded.
Brandon was in my head asking where we were.
“Brandon, we are going to need some help. We were kind of ambushed, but they were using vampires whose families were being threatened. We killed the two commanders, but now we have all the vampires and rogues to deal with,” I told him.
“I’m leaving Ashlyn with Gamma Ben. Sage should be back in a few minutes. She left to get some towels.
Ashlyn is just feeding the baby and then I think she is going to lie down. I’ll be right there.” He answered. And I thanked him before l ended the link.
“Brandon is on his way. Gamma Ben is staying with Ashlyn and our boy.” I told Derek.
“Who’s Gamma Ben?” He asked me, worried.
“Gamma Ben is one of my father’s Gammas. He was also James’ brother.” I told him and he looked shocked.
“So he’s her blood uncle?” He asked, and I nodded.
“And you are sure that she is safe with him? That they are both safe with him?” He asked me.
“Brandon wouldn’t have left them if he didn’t believe they would be safe. Sage is also there, and he would never risk their lives.” I told him and he sighed.
“Fine, but let’s hurry this up. We have a mate and a baby to get back to.
Ashlyn
I awoke with a start when I didn’t feel baby boy on my chest. I thought maybe I had rolled over, but I was still lying on my back. I sat up, franticly looking around the room.
I didn’t let out the breath I was holding in until saw Derek walking around the tent, holding his son. I held my hand over my chest, panting. I didn’t realize how scared I was.
“Derek.” I breathed out.
“Babygirl.” He came to sit on the bed with me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, careful not to squish the baby. My cheek was resting against his.
“I’m so glad that you came back to us.” Derek whispered. And I could feel his tears on my cheek.
“I’ve missed you so much. And I’m so glad that I could heal you.” I told him with tears in my eyes. I’ve missed everything about him, his touch, his scent. The way he calls me babygirl.
I looked down at our boy and he was now dressed in a sleeper and he had an actual baby blanket.
“You dressed him?” I asked him, pulling away. I sat on my knees on the bed beside him.
“Sage and Brandon went and bought him some things. He was getting restless with you, so I picked him up and got him dressed. I’ve been walking with him. I didn’t want to wake you just yet.” He told me.
“Thank you.” I whispered to him. I reached my hand up to his cheek and rested my head against his forehead.
“No, thank you. He is perfect.” He whispered. I looked down at our sleeping boy and he truly was perfect. Derek k!ssed my cheek before he nuzzled his face into my neck.
“Where Mason? And where were you two?” I asked him. Our baby decided at that moment he was starving, and let out a cry. My breasts instantly were full, and I forgot I wasn’t wearing a shirt. I could feel the milk leaking and I let out a groan.
