“Is what weird?” I asked him.
“Us, sleeping in the same bed without Ashlyn?” He clarified, and I sighed.
“I think other people might think it’s weird, but it feels kind of normal now. For me, anyway.” I told him.
“Our normal life is definitely weird,” he said, making us both laugh.
“Just go to sleep,” I told him. He rolled over onto his side and pushed his a*ss into my h!p.
“You wanna be the big spoon?” He chuckled.
“Just go to sleep.” I laughed, rolling onto my side, facing away from him.
“Awe, you’re no fun.” I heard him say. I wasn’t ready for that yet. I’m still trying to comprehend that I have a male dragon for a mate.
The next day, lan arrived around mid-morning. He brought some of his warriors and his Beta with him. We integrated wolves together and have a dragon watching from above while the wolves scout the forest.
Unfortunately for us, this was better on paper than it was in real life. We were constantly breaking up fights and having to have one of us on each patrol, and poor Derek was having a hard time keeping the dragons in line. Chantel wasn’t making it easy for us. She was constantly questioning our orders and always trying to flirt and touch Derek. She was also starting that sh!t with me.
Ashlyn had texted a few days ago, asking when we’d be home and we were supposed to leave today, but the wolves and dragon still weren’t cooperating and it was growing tiresome. We just needed everyone to work together so that we could get this done.
We found out that this was indeed their hideout, but we still didn’t know the numbers they had. They had attacked some of our scouting groups, and we had to send Matt and Liam to organize more wolves and dragons.
This was supposed to be so simple, but it’s quickly turning into such a mess. We’ve been out here for two and a half weeks now, and I feel like we’ve accomplished nothing. We have nothing to show for being away from Ashlyn for as long as we have been.
Derek and I were heading back to our tent after we just ran a patrol. We were both exhausted and just wanted to lie down for a few hours until we had another patrol.
I walked in and stopped in my tracks. Chantel was lying on our bed, naked. I immediately turned around as guilt turned my stomach into knots. I knew this was going to happen.
“Derek, why don’t you and your mate come play?” She purred out, and I threw up in my mouth.
“Chantel, what the fvck are you doing?” Derek growled out beside me.
“Oh come on Derek, so you can play with him, but you can’t play with me? We used to have so much fun together.” She told him, and Magnus let out a growl.
“Chantel, get the fvck out.” He yelled out, and I even jumped at his tone. He was pissed and I’m glad I wasn’t at the receiving end of his rage.
My phone rang in my pocket and I left the tent and answered to a panicked-sounding Liam.
“Mason, Ashlyn and Sage aren’t in our apartment!” He exclaimed, and I panicked.
“Liam, what the fvck are you talking about?” I growled into the phone.
“I left to get the warriors organized, and I came home to an empty apartment. Neither one of them is here, Mason!” he yelled.
“Derek and I will be right there!” I told him before I hung up my phone. A half-naked Chantel was coming out of our tent looking unimpressed with how things played out.
“Derek?” I called out to him and he stepped out of the tent. I knew he could see the panic written all over my face.
“What’s wrong?” He rushed out.
“We have to head home. Ashlyn and Sage are missing.” I told him. We both took off running to find Nathan. He could open a portal for us to get home faster.
We finally found Nathan, and he opened a portal in our apartment and we both stepped through. Liam was pacing in the living room, cursing under his breath about what had happened.
“Liam, what the hell happened?” l growled out. He stopped pacing to look at both of us now.
“I went to get the warriors organized and when I came back, they were both gone ” He breathed out, Derek ran into our room to check it out, and I ran into the other bedroom to see if there were any signs of a struggle or evidence that someone else was in here. But I found nothing, and Derek found the same. I pulled out my phone to call her and it would just ring and go to her voicemail. We didn’t find it in the apartment, so she must have it with her. Derek was trying to call Sage, but she wasn’t answering either.
“Of course. I tried to ring them both before I called you.” Liam huffed out, frustrated.
“Lets check the elevator records and check the surveillance recordings to see if they left that way. They could have just left the building and have their phones on silence.” I told them.
We were checking everything and we couldn’t find either of them on any of the recordings. They must have portaled out, but why? And where would they have gone?
Unless someone portaled on to the balcony and they got both of them. But I don’t understand. Ashlyn can take care of herself. She doesn’t even have to touch the person to kill them. What could they have threatened her with that would make her leave? My mind was racing as we headed back to the apartment to figure out a plan of action.
Derek called Matt to let him know what was going on and that we needed him here. He told Derek that he would fly in when he could. They were just about to fly into Emerald Lake.
It was getting late now, and the anxiety and worry I was feeling was now in overdrive. Where the hell could she have possibly gone to that she wouldn’t have told us where she was going, and we knew she wasn’t with lan because he was in Emerald Lake. I was pacing the living room when my phone rang. I pulled it out to see Ashlyn’s beautiful face pop up on the screen.
“Derek, it’s Ashlyn.” I rushed out before l answered.
“Ashlyn, where the hell are you?” I rushed out.
“I’m at the camp outside of Emerald Lake. Where are you?” She asked me calmly. I knew she was furious. It was a scary calm fury where she was about to explode at any moment. I didn’t even know what to say to her.
“What nothing to say?” She asked me.
“Derek and I will be right there,” I told her and she hung up.
“‘She’s at our camp outside Emerald Lake.” I looked over at Derek.
“Fvck.” He yelled out.
“What’s wrong?” Liam asked us, confused and concerned.
“It’s a long story, but we need to head back to Emerald Lake. Come out there as soon as you can.” I told Liam, and he nodded.
“Let’s head to the roof. Magnus will fly us back.” Derek told me, heading to the elevator.
Ashlyn
I followed Sage out of our tent with both my mates on my heels. They weren’t happy about me not immediately jumping into their arms, but I was still upset. I understand their need to protect me, just as I have the same need to protect them. But we need to stick together. We should be equals. And they need to learn that I can take care of myself.
Milo was waiting outside my tent to speak with me.
He seemed pretty anxious, but maybe it’s because my mates are following me like guard dogs.
“Milo, Hi, is everything okay?” I asked him, giving him a hug. He hesitated at first, but soon returned the hug.
“Everything is great, my queen. I heard we are leaving soon, and I just wanted to say thank you for everything that you have done for us.” He said with a smile.
Milo was a very handsome guy with dark shaggy hair, bright blue eyes, and was around six feet tall. He definitely could have all the ladies.
“Milo, there is no need to thank me, and I’m glad that you are going home safely. I want you to know that I will keep tabs on the investigation that King Theo is leading.” I told him and he nodded.
“Mates?” He asked, pointing with his head, motioning behind me.
“Yes, Milo, this is the Dragon Prince and the Alpha Prince.” I introduced him.
“And you told them?” He asked me.
“Yes, they know,” l answered him.
“What, you told him?” Derek huffed out, and I sighed.
“l can hear the heartbeat. She wanted to help feed us and I told her she couldn’t because she’s pregnant.” Milo explained, and Mason growled, causing me to turn to look at him.
“You offered to feed vampires?” Mason asked me, stunned.
“Of course l did. They are my people, are they not?” I asked him.
“That’s quite an intimate thing to offer.” He said, pushing his l!ps into a line, and even Derek looked upset.
