Chapter 54
King Reynolds -
The Rogue King has seen his last month of life. He kidnapped my daughter, my son's mate, and her brother. Finding out that Cora who was like a daughter to me, had betrayed us. She will regret the day she betrayed my family.
I need to find out how my daughter is doing. I had her hide out at Alpha Cameron's pack, this way Cora will think she's safe by thinking they had killed off my daughter, Clair, and Colt. I hear her phone ringing; she picks up, sounding exhausted. "Baby girl, how are you doing? I heard they tortured you, are you okay?”
Xantara -
The chiming of my cell phone makes me want to throw it across the room. The cushion and bedmate I sleep with are not next to me, but on the balcony. I almost dropped my cell phone when I grabbed it, and I was about to ignore the call when I realized my dad was on the line. I answered the phone in case he was worried. He is making my mind go crazy as he asks about my torture. Now I would have to explain that I have a mate and I hid it from everyone.
"Dad, before I tell you about the torture, I have something I have told no one yet. During that last meeting, I discovered who my mate was. My mate is Clair’s twin, and when we were in the cells, he had just been whipped with a rope laced with wolf's bane.
Once he passed out, they threw him back in his cell and he came to as they saw them dragging me off. Because mates can share pain etc. he took most of the torture for me through the mate bond. Once we escaped I healed instantly. Colt didn’t fare so well. The elves healed him mostly, but I also had to help heal him through the mate bond. So, I was fine but Colt well he is fine now, but he came close to death to save me.”
I could hear my dad in the background breathing, I am sure he wants to know why I took so long to tell him. “Dad, say something.”
King Reynolds --
My daughter I just knew tried to avoid her mate. We have always given her everything she ever wanted, as she is our baby. She is also very independent and has made it no secret. She didn’t like the idea of mates. She felt it would be to constrict, and she certainly did not want to lose her independence to become a baby maker.
I felt bad for the poor young man; I remember how fast she ran from the meeting; I didn’t realize that was the reason why. I can hear panic in my daughter's voice as she waits for me to respond.
Sighing, I speak, “Baby girl, I am glad you have found your mate, I would have liked to have known right away, but at least you have told me now. Well, we need to plan yours and Xanders mating ceremonies to your new mates.”
Xantara --
Nervously I respond to my father, “Dad, we kind of mated already marks and all.”
King Reynolds --
I ask with caution, “He didn’t force his mark on you did he? I know how apprehensive you were about having a mate?”
Xantara --
I half chuckle nervously, not wanting to talk about such things with my dad, “Dad, I went mentally crazy and marked him without consent, then after that he marked me. I am not sure what got into me. Maybe I fell in love in such a short time, dad.”
King Reynolds --
“The moon goddess hasn’t ever been wrong yet about our mate's baby. I am glad you found yours. I want to let you know I am coming over to see you two and Alpha Cameron. Your brother and Clair will be in disguise coming with me. We are going to make our plans to take the Rogue King down.
I will be headed over in my helicopter, the rogue king will expect us to prepare for war. So, he won’t be surprised about me headed over to alpha Cameron’s pack.”
Xantara --
“Okay sounds great dad! I also have a bone to pick with Cora. See you when you all get here. Love you dad.”
King Reynolds --
“I love you too baby girl.”
Xantara --
I hear my father hang up the phone. I smile as I set the phone down, I have been blessed with the best most loving parents.
Cameron ---
I met the King, Prince, and my sister at the pack air base. Picking them up and taking them to the pack house. We are all going to meet in my brother Colt’s wing of the house.
Colt --
My wing has a meeting room that can hold up to 12 people. In this part of the packhouse, no one may enter other than us. I also have a mini kitchen in my area where I put out glasses of water, crackers, and cheese for our guests. As I laid out the map of where I had been taken, Xantara marked the map where they had hypothetically been taken. However, she wasn't certain of the exact location.
Xantara --
When I saw my dad walk in the meeting room, I ran and hugged him. We all could have died yet we made it, thanks to the moon goddess giving me such a mate that would sacrifice his own life to save mine. My dad hugged me and walked over to my mate. Shaking his hand and then pulling him into a hug.
He said something to my mate, like thank you. He then welcomed him into the family. I walked over and stood next to Colt, smiling at everyone. Colt put his arms around my waist and offered for everyone to take a seat.
Rogue King --
I heard from inside sources at the castle the helicopter was being prepared. I had some men take pictures of who went in the helicopter. The pictures showed they wore jackets with hoodies, but with one of the photos, we could see a female face. She was the sister of Alpha Cameron, and it was the prince holding on to her tightly.
I felt angry believing some of my wolves that told me the princess and her company were dead. What I didn’t realize is that we had the future Luna and didn’t even realize it. We had let her slip right out of our hands. I should have known my prisoners weren’t dead, no one was able to bring me their dead bodies.
The moment I find the wolves who gave me incorrect information, I have them kneel before me while I take my axe and chop off their heads. All my wolves who serve me watch the beheadings. This will serve as a warning that I expect efficiency from them, and if I don't receive it, I will no longer be using their services.
It is yet another time I must meet with the King of the Red Dragons.
Although he has not been very helpful, I could take over the Wolf King's kingdom within a couple of hours. This is if he could just supply me with a few dragons. He also stated that although he had helped me several times, he couldn't fight my war for me; he encouraged me to be true to my title. It is imperative for me to fight my own battles, per the King of the Red dragons.
