Se connecterRaya’s pov. “Do you think you could get Alex and Glenda back in here?” I ask Creed quietly after hours of teaching him how to care for the fledglings. “Yes, I’ll tell Alex to come back, I know you must want to go see Ryan,” he answers me, turning his head to look in my direction. “I do, I really need to see him,” I whisper, watching Aspin and Wren sleep soundly. “I’ll help look after the boys, go, go now,” he says, getting up from where he’s sitting. He places a hand onto my shoulder, giving me a look of understanding. I nod my head once before placing a kiss onto each of my sons heads. “I love you,” I whisper, “I’ll be back soon.”I look back one more time before walking out of the door. I enter the healers, walking towards the front desk. “I’m here to see my mate, the beta,” I say, looking around nervously. “Ryan?” She asks, looking me up and down. “Yes, Ryan. I need to see him now,” I answered impatiently, glaring slightly at the woman. “Okay, I’ll take you to his room,
Creed’s pov. “Tell me how she’s doing, please,” I say to the healer as they come out of Lily's room. The healer sighs as he places his clip board down on the counter beside me. “It’s not looking good, my King. She used too much dark magic, her body is paying the price,” he says with pity in his eyes, which only makes me angrier at the situation. “Can I go see her?” I ask with my head in my hands. “There’s something else I need to tell you, King,” he says, not able to meet my eyes. “Well?” I ask impatiently, “what is it?”“The queen… has slipped into some kind of deep sleep. Her dragon placed her into it, there’s nothing we can do to wake her,” he finally answers, looking up into my eyes. “Will she wake up?” I say quietly, my voice breaking around the edges. “We don’t know, King. Only time will tell, her body needs to heal,” he sighs, shaking his head in pity and sadness. “I- I need to get to my fledglings,” I whisper, stumbling towards the exit. The healer doesn’t say anythi
Raya’s pov. “One of us needs to find out what’s happening!” I snap, pacing the room while holding Wren and Aspin in my arms. “We can’t just leave!” Alex says, “we can be sure it’s safe.”“I’ll go,” Eric says suddenly, already heading for the door. “Wait!” Alex rushes up, getting up from where she’s sitting with Mazikeen and Athena. “Don’t try to fight me on this,” Erik chuckles, “I’m the one who trained Lily. I know how to defend myself, don’t worry about me. I’ll find out what’s going on outside.”“He’s right,” Lily's grandmother adds in, rocking little Juniper back and forth, “he needs to find out if it’s safe to leave the room.”“Go!” Alex’s mate, Beatrice says, soothing a crying Maddox. Eric leaves before I can say anything else. I sigh as I look down into my son's eyes. Wren, my beautiful second born son. His black hair and brown eyes… While my first born, Aspin has green eyes and brown hair. I smile as I stare down at them, feeling so much love for them already. “How’s
Creed’s pov. “Lily?” I ask as I open my eyes slowly, feeling tingles along my face. “Shh, my mate,” a deeper version of Lily’s voice says, “save your energy.”I look towards her face and my eyes widen slightly when I see her purple flames surrounding her body and her eyes glowing purple. “Sapphire?” I say unsure, wondering how she got control over Lily’s body. “Yes, it’s me,” she purrs, rubbing her face against mine, “I saved you.”“Wait!” I shout, sitting up quickly, “where’s our fledglings?! Our children!?”She huffs while blowing a strand of her hair out of her face, “they’re fine! With Raya, Alex, Lily’s grandmother and Eric. Safe.”I breathe out a sigh of relief, running my hands through my hair. “Erlik?” I ask while looking around, seeing midnight standing over his dead body. “He’s dead,” I hear Midnight say quietly, “I’ll be taking his body to the underworld with me.”“Okay…” I say, looking back at Lily, or I guess Sapphire, “can you give Lily control?”Sapphire scoffs, l
Lily’s pov. “Aspin, and Wren,” Raya whispers as she stares at her newborn sons. “They're beautiful,” I say with a huge smile on my face as I play with my Maddox. Little smiles on his face as I tickle his tiny feet. Juniper, Mazikeen and Athena are peacefully sleeping beside us. “Are you going out there soon?” Raya asks skeptically, looking at me before she looks back down at her boys. “Yes,” I breathe out, “I have to help them.”“Get Alex here, we’ll all take care of them,” she tells me with a promise in her eyes. “I’ll stay with them as well," Eric says while placing a hand on my shoulder and squeezing it gently. I take one last look at all of my children before taking a deep breath. “Okay,” I whisper as I place Maddox back down beside his sisters, “they need mommy my littles… I’ll be back as soon as I can with your daddy.”I place a kiss on all of their foreheads before looking at everyone in the room one last time. “I trust you’ll all do what it takes to protect these fle
Midnights pov. “No!” I shout, “you’re lying!”Erlik chuckles darkly, a sly grin on his face, “I’m not, I’m not lying. Your mother, Sandra, was a mere human woman,” he began to say, walking around me in a circle, “she spotted me in a bar… being the bold woman she was, she approached me… what she didn’t know was that I was watching her all night.”“You fucking creep!” I say, cutting him off, feeling my body morphing into my shadows from the anger pulsing through my veins. “Now, now, let me finish the story!” He yells angrily, glaring daggers at me, “anyways, she came over to me and poured her heart out… me, being the gentleman that I am, I listened… but when I felt hungry… I took advantage of her, ravaging her to my heart's desire… and then I left! She made it easy.”I don’t say anything, I just stare at him with pure rage. “I didn’t even know about you at first. Sandra kept you a secret… after our moment together she ran away, never to be seen again,” he says, laughing slightly. I
