“King Theo, What’s wrong?” I asked him.
“My Queen has gone missing. We can’t find her in the kingdom.” And I looked at him, shocked.
“Okay, I can track her, but I need something of hers. Also, how does the mark with vampires? Can you feel death and cheating and emotions?” l asked him.
“What are you implying?” He growled out. Dylan, Brandon, and lan all stepped in front of me. I pushed past them and stood in front of King Theo.
“I’m not implying anything. I was just asking a question. With my mark, I can feel my mates. Their emotions can bleed into me. I can feel if they were ever with someone else. And I could feel the bond break if they were to die. That’s all I was asking.” I clarified, and he let out a sigh.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to snap,” he said.
“I understand you are under a lot of stress right now,” I told him.
“It’s the same with our mark. I know she is alive and no, I have felt nothing else.” he answered my question.
“Okay, then let’s see if I can track her down.” I told him. He pulled off a ring on his finger.
“She gave this to me. Will it work?” He asked me. And I wasn’t really sure. This was my first tracking spell, but everyone else was busy.
“Let’s try it.” I told him. When I took the ring from him, I felt gentle tingles on my fingers. I quickly took the ring and shook the feeling from my mind.
He wasn’t my mate anymore, and I had already claimed two. I wasn’t going for a third. I walked a little way from the group and sat down on the ground, crossing my legs.
I had never done this before, but I figured I would at least try it. I focused on the ring, closing my eyes and the person who gave it to King Theo. My mind raced as I focused on her energy. When it stopped, I opened my eyes to find her, holding on to another man. I didn’t recognize him or where they were. The man leaned down and was just about to k!ss her.
I slammed my eyes close and covered my mouth with my hand so the gasp wouldn’t escape my throat.
When I met her, they seemed in love. How could she do that? opened my eyes just in time to see King Theo grab his chest and scream out in pain. He fell to his knees, and I rushed over to him.
“How could she?” he growled.
“I’m so sorry, King Theo.” He was panting on my shoulder while I wrapped my arms around him. I felt terrible for him. Unable to even imagine the pain he was feeling. And I had to witness it.
“You saw, didn’t you?” He mumbled into my shoulder.
“We can talk about that later. Let’s just get the pain under control.” I told him, rubbing his back.
“The physical pain is gone. It stopped as soon as you touched me.” He said, pulling out of my embrace.
My mates finally rushed up behind me. I could feel their eyes on us.
“Theo, what are you doing here?” Derek rushed out. I knew they were friends. King Theo stood up, helping me to stand with him.
“Rachel went missing. I came to ask Ashlyn for help with finding her.” He told my mates.
“And?” Derek asked, raising an eyebrow at us.
“How about we talk about this in private? And I need to get back to James.” I told them.
“James?” King Theo asked.
“Our son,” Mason told him. He wasn’t looking too happy with how close I was to King Theo, and I couldn’t blame him, but there was nothing going on between Us.
“Where is he?” Mason asked me, pulling me away from King Theo.
“He’s with Sage and Alex. I told you that if anything happened, I would come get you and l asked Liam to get you when Dylan came to announce the arrival of King Theo. Sage took James because I didn’t know why he was here and I was being safe.” I told him. He wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me closed to his side.
“Let’s go talk in our office.” Derek told King Theo, and he nodded.
“Derek, Ashlyn and I will meet you there. We are going to go get James.”
Ashlyn
Mason led me back to our tent and I could feel his worry through the bond. His worry was overflowing into me, and I knew it was bad. He dragged me into the tent behind him, the flap closed behind us.
I could feel his fury after we entered the tent, but I couldn’t figure out what I did wrong. He pulled me over to the bed; Mason sat down on the edge and pulled me into his lap, so I straddled him. He pushed his face into my neck, breathing in my scent. His chest rumbled out a growl.
“Mason, what’s wrong?” asked him, concerned. I thought I did everything that they had asked.
“Why the hell were you touching King Theo?” He growled out.
“He asked for my help. I saw his mate cheating on him when I tried to track her. I was concerned when he screamed out” I explained. He looked up at me and took my cheeks in his hands.
“Are you thinking about taking him as your mate?” He asked through gritted teeth.
“What are you talking about? Of course, not. I was concerned about his well-being. Why would you ever think that?” I asked him, stunned. I never gave him a reason that I was ever interested in my other two fated mates. I had him and Derek. They were all I needed. Both of them and our son.
Mason lifted me off his lap, placing me on the bed. He stood up and started pacing around the tent.
“Mason, what’s wrong? I thought I did everything you guys told me to do. I stayed with the people I was supposed to and I made. sure that James was protected and safe.” I told him, kneeling on the bed where he had placed me. Mason was grumbling and cursing under his breath.
“Mason, talk to me, please.” l pleaded with him.
“I don’t want you to touch King Theo. I have to share you with Derek, and I’ve accepted that. But I don’t want you claiming King Theo because his relationship with his chosen mate is falling apart.” He huffed out.
“Why would you even think that?” I asked him. He finally turned to look at me.
“I felt it through the bond. You are attracted to him, and I could feel it.” He growled. I was a little confused by what he was talking about. Sure, King Theo is a good-looking vampire, but I wouldn’t say that I was attracted to him, not like I was with Mason and Derek.
“Mason, that was just the bond. I don’t have feelings for King Theo.” I sighed. Mason sat down beside me, and I wrapped my arms around his neck.
“What’s really bothering you?” I whispered.
“I’m not losing you.” He whispered, his voice held so many emotions.
“I’m not going anywhere, Mason. I’m going to be the stay at home mom.” I told him, and he turned his head to look at me.
“Why do I not believe you?” He said, and I smirked, rolling my eyes.
“I have more important things to worry about. I’ll only go into the field if I’m needed, or if you and Derek are in trouble.” I told him and he looked stunned. He stared into my eyes, probably searching to see if I was telling him the truth. I was 100% sure of my decision. Our son needed me more than anyone else. I needed to put my vengeance and revenge aside and take care of my mates and our son. When we find them, we will deal with them, but until then, I need to focus on my priorities.
“You’re serious?” He asked, and I nodded.
“I have so much to learn, and I need to bring the kingdoms together. With James, I can’t run around putting myself at risk.” I told him. We stared at each other for a few moments until he crushed his l!ps to mine. I gasped, not expecting him to k!ss me.
He took that moment to thrust his tongue into my mouth, tasting every inch of me. I could feel the sparks.
They were making me hot and w*et for him. I miss his touch and I wanted him. I wanted him inside of me, to feel whole with him. He pushed me down on the bed, not breaking the k!ss. He settled between my legs and I wrapped my legs around his th!ghs to hold him in place.
“I missed you so much, Baby.” he mumbled against my l!ps. I rolled my h!ps into him, and he let out a groan.
“You guys will have to pick this up later. I have to go take the vampires to the airstrip.” Sage said from the door and we both jumped. Mason rolled off of me, and I already missed his body pressed against mine. I sat up and looked at Sage. She was smirking at me.
“Besides, you should probably think about birth control unless you are planning on having another baby.”
She told me while walking over to the bed, holding James against her chest.
“You get to have the next baby.” I told her while she handed me James.
“Why me?” She pouted.
“l see that mark on your neck. You better get on it.” I told her and she blushed.
“Maybe.” Was all she said before she turned around and walked out of the tent. I laid James down between my legs. He just opened up his beautiful eyes. Mason laid his head on my leg so he was looking at James and James was looking at his daddy.
