2021-10-30 00:01:22Conri POV
I walked into the room, and my heart almost stopped. I never thought I would see my badass mate in this condition. She's laying on her back, she is hooked up to so many machines, there is no way she can be comfortable. I am thankful she's breathing on her own, so I don't have to see her with the tube down her throat, but there is a tube going up her nose. I asked the doctor why and he said, "Some of the silver is in her stomach. We have to filter it out with liquid charcoal. Hopefully we won't have to do it much more. It doesn't taste good, and she makes it very obvious that she doesn't like it." I said, "Does she fight it?" He nodded and I smiled. "She fights anything she feels threatened by. I will talk to her." He said, "That's the best thing you ca

Ashina POV Everyone in the room, including me, started laughing. Chloe said, "Lady, you sure know how to scare the shit out of us!" I looked next to Conri, and it was Chloe! I held out my arms and hugged her as I said, "Chloe! Do I really need to damn near die to get you to come see me?" We both laughed; well, I tried to laugh, but it came out as a groan. Fuck! That hurt. Chloe cringed, "I'm sorry." Conri said, "You can thank Prince Aidinth for bringing you around. He offered a vial of his blood to get all the silver out of your body." I said, "Thank you so much, Prince Aidinth." I looked around and said, "Was I really that close to death?" Conri said, "You were pretty out of it. Mostly because you lost a lot of blood. There was quite a bit of silve

The doctor said, "I will do that, my prince. I swear, I had no idea this would happen." I said, "You have nothing to worry about. My grandmother already told me that I have one of the best doctors in the country looking after me." The doctor blushed and said, "While I do appreciate her vote of confidence, I believe she and I are pretty even. She may even be a smidge better." I chuckled and said, "Regardless, we do need to know who is supposed to be in my room and the nurses that are allowed in here, must be trusted with not only keeping my medical condition confidential, but with not being able to be bribed to kill me." The doctor said, "Good Heavens! We can't have that. We will initiate VIP protocol for you. I'm ashamed to say it hasn't been done yet. But, in my defense, I was busy trying to keep you alive." I nodded and said, "What is VIP protocol?" He said, "We will have only one nurse, on each shift, taking care of you. That nurse will receive triple her normal pay durin

Trina laughed, "No shit! You should've seen how pissed your mom was when they tried to grab her. She put them on their asses faster than any man I've seen, and she almost snapped both their necks at the same time. Your dad was the only one who could stop her. He told her that we needed to question them first." I chuckled, "That's my mom. She's tiny, but mighty." Conri said, "We still have about four hours before the meeting, do you want to take another nap?" I said, "I think so. You're so good to me... far better than I deserve." Then I closed my eyes and fell asleep again. I woke up three hours later with Conri shaking me and asking if I wanted a shower before the meeting. I almost jumped and hugged him. I said, "You know me so well." He laughed, "Trina brought one of my t-shirts for you to lay in. They aren't going to see anything but your face and hair anyway. She also brought your shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. The doctor said you can shower as long as you have hel

Everyone in the room fell silent except Cedric. Cedric said, "Princess Ashina, if you were to cry, none of us would blame you one bit. This is all a lot to handle. I don't know that anyone in this room has gone through half of what you are going through, right now. I don't know that I could take it without breaking down." That was when my mom raised her hand and said, "I've been through it. Well, I haven't been shot with a silver bullet, but I was stabbed with a silver blade." I chuckled, "Mom has been through many of the things that I'm going through, but I don't think you ever had an explosives expert sent against you, did you?" Mom looked like she was thinking, "I don't believe anyone tried explosives with me, so that's new." I said, "While I appreciate the kind words, Cedric, I really don't have time to cry at the moment. I will cry when I do have time." He smiled, "I'm just saying, take care of your emotional needs too. We all care about you." I put my hand over my heart and sa

It has now been a week since I came home from the hospital. My wounds are not completely healed yet, and I'm still in a back brace and confined to bed. I am ready to fucking lose it! I'm talking with King Fenris and my dad every day for updates on the status of the pack, but they aren't telling me much. When my doctor comes in today, I'm going to beg him to get me out of this bed. I'm seriously going crazy, and I know Conri is too. At least he gets to go to the meetings. I am stuck in this fucking bed! I'm really starting to get cranky about it too. Ask Conri; he's been catching the brunt of it lately. He's a saint for putting up with me through it all too. I am really going to owe him when all this is done. My doctor, followed by Lupe and Conri walk in, and I'm about to snap. Conri sits next to me and rubs my arm. Just the sparks from that small act are enough to calm me down. He knows how irritated I am; he can feel it. I ask the doctor, "Would you please do the CT t

I felt tears start to well up and I said, "It's just going to piss me off more than I already was." I cleared my throat, and said, "You are going to make me cry, and I really hate crying. So, I already told my parents about the surgery. They are coming up for it." I looked at them both and they each had the saddest of looks on their faces. I said, "Really, guys, I'm okay with whatever happens. I don't know if Nyla will also be paralyzed. I just know that the silver in body is suppressing Nyla and keeping my wound from healing. I can't tolerate either of those things. So, Conri, if the doctor comes out and tells you that the silver is not able to be taken out because it's too close to my spinal cord, you tell him I want it out. I can live with being paralyzed. I cannot live without Nyla and my quality of life would be horrible if I have the open wound for the rest of my life." Conri said, "I understand, I just don't want to have to make that decision." I said, "You aren't making the

Conri's POV Letting go of her hand was one of the hardest things to do. I walked back to the room the clinic staff put us in to wait for updates. There is a phone in there that has a direct line to the surgical suite. When I got there, I was met with nothing but long faces. I said, "Really guys? I honestly don't think I can take eight hours of this heavy feeling." Luna Abby said, "That's how long it could take?" I nodded my head. I said, "he said that it's such a delicate surgery, he has to move very precisely. If he moves too quickly, or jerks his hand even a millimeter, he could paralyze her." Luna Abby rested her head on Alpha Damien. Brenna was doing what she had to do for Nico, but I really miss my mate. Seth and I are the only two who are mate less in this room. O

Ashina's POV I was half-awake, not wanting to open my eyes yet, when I heard a voice that I hadn't heard since before I was stabbed, "Wake up, girlie! We got shit to do and you have a ton of people to interrogate. You need to get your ass in gear!" I said, "NYLA! I've missed you so much!" She said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. The fucker thought he could take us out, but we're gonna show him we are nothing to be messed with. Now, you do not have the use of your legs. The doctor couldn't save them. But Selene made our magic even more powerful to make up for it." I smiled, "I like the sound of that." Nyla said, "So, let's get all the pity over with and start kicking some asses. Your wounds are already healed, so the doctor shouldn't hold you here anymore." I said, "Thank you. You're the

Wow. Just wow. That is all I can seem to say these days. My triplets, Jack, Josh, and Brianda are already thirteen years old. Niki is fifteen, Luna is sixteen, and Caleb and Kurt are seventeen now. It’s crazy how time flies. Sylvie is now eighteen. She first shifted at sixteen, and still hasn’t found her mate, but we knew that It’s going to take an extra strong mate to be able to handle her omega powers. There have been several attempts to take her, but she has done very well at defending herself. It also doesn’t hurt that we now have assigned two more bodyguards to her. She hates it as much as I did, but she admits that it is needed. My mom is having her annual ball for unmated species, so we are in my old pack, visiting and letting Sylvie, Caleb, and Kurt go to the ball. Sylvie decided she wanted a leather dress, like the one I wore on the night Conri, and I met. We went, with my mother, to the same leather shop that I shopped in, and I immediately saw a dress that I felt

We were about to start Sylvie's party, when Nico, Brenna, and their twins, Alex and Ashley came in. They were followed by Seth, Shayla and their three children, Kevin, Kasey, and Kinsley along with Seth's parents. I was so happy to see Seth so happy. He deserves that. Lupe and Mike came in with their two children, Caine, and Kaylie. Mike looked happier than I ever remember seeing him. After we got back from our honeymoon, I told Lupe about Mike being the mate I rejected, and I was so happy that none of that mattered to her. She knew there is no way I would go back to him now and I knew that Mike was blissfully happy with her. He came to realize it too and apologized to me for the tough time he had given me. I told him I forgave him and to just be happy with Lupe. That was all I wanted for both of them. Trina has since been changed to a Centaur, and she is a beautiful one. They have four children now and could not be happier. After celebrating Sylvie's birthday, Conri a

So, I'm sitting on one of our garden chairs, watching our children play. It's so hard to believe that five years ago we were handed this sweet little girl who, literally, put peace in our hearts. Today, we are going to be celebrating her fifth birthday. We have never kept her story from her. From the time she was old enough to tell her bedtime stories, I have told her the story of the beautiful and brave mother who gave birth to a child who would be a gift to all in our species. The mother was sad, because her Alpha was an evil man who would lock the child away, if he knew she existed. So, she wrapped the baby in a warm blanket and added a note, asking whoever found her to take her to the king. She knew the king was known as a kind and caring man. The king suggested the Prince and the Princess raise her as their own. They all loved her the moment they laid eyes on her. During all the celebration in finding such an amazing child, the Alpha got very angry and started searching for the

After the reception, Conri and I slipped into Sylvie's nursery, said goodbye, and we left for our honeymoon. To say the honeymoon was amazing would be an understatement. He took me to a private island in the Caribbean, and I was in heaven. We spent our days, laying in the sun, fruity cocktails in hand, and our nights having the most mind-blowing sex we'd ever had. We celebrated being in love, being a family, and, most of all, being best friends. I never imagined in all of my life, that having a mate could make you feel so complete. Conri held true to his word, we went to a restaurant just a few times, but we mostly had a private chef come in and cook for us. I told Conri that I could cook, but he would have no part of it. He just wanted us to relax and just enjoy being together. I loved this side of him. I also loved his playful side when we swam in the sea. I loved jumping on his back and making him fall into the warm water. It was all a dream come true for me. One day, I voiced th

A tall, blonde woman, that I haven't seen in years, stands in the doorway. I hand Sylvie to Conri and wheel my chair to her. I hug her tightly, "How are you?" Maia replies, "I'm doing great! My life is nowhere nearly as exciting as yours lately, from what I'm hearing from dad and Aidinth! I laugh, "What can I say, Things tend to happen in my presence. It's a curse." She laughs and I find out that she found her mate in another kingdom and moved there. She now has six children, and she is over the moon happy. I smiled, "I am so happy for you! I haven't seen you since I was around six years old. I am so glad you are staying for our wedding. I want you to meet my mate and my new daughter!" Maia got excited, "That was fast! A daughter already?" I laughed, "Adopted daughter. It's definitely a story to tell." We went to Conri, and I said, "Prince Conri, please meet Princess Maia. She is Aidinth's sister!" He smiled, "It's very nice to meet you. I heard the story of the way you all

My mom said, "Honey, take the honeymoon. You guys will only get this one chance before life gets crazy. You two need this time for yourselves. Do it while you have an overabundance of babysitters who are more than happy to help you. This will give us some needed bonding time with Sylvie too." Conri said, "What if something happens?" Mom said, "Queen Winnie will come and get you, and teleport you back." Conri looked at me, "You did say you wanted to work on giving Sylvie and baby brother or sister. This will give us two weeks to try." I laughed and said, "Okay. But we spend the rest of today and tonight bonding with this little one." Conri said, "Sounds good to me." We sat in the conference room until Queen Carina, Queen Winnie and King Izzoth came back. They all reported that there had been no survivors, but they couldn't be certain that he was dead. I said, "King Izzoth, if he's dead, wouldn't he be in your realm?" He said, "No doubt about it." I said, "Is there a way for y

I was so wrapped up in the moment, that Conri was able to sneak up behind me and whisper, "See something you like?" I turned around and put my arms around him and said, "You know, I never even gave children a thought before now. I knew I wanted them, eventually, but I figured it would happen on its own." He laughed, "It might help if we weren't using protection." I laughed, "Yeah, that might help. Seeing our families with Sylvie is making me want to give her a baby brother or sister." He said, "I don't mind starting on that right away. Do you?" I laugh, "Maybe after she goes to sleep tonight." He said, "You do know that until she can go in her own room, we are going to have to be quiet too." I said, "Yep. That may be an issue. We'll just have to wait and see what happens." He laughed, "You got it." A knock on the door caused us both to look warily, just in case it is someone who is looking for Sylvie. When the person was let in, she was a bloody mess and barely standing, "He

When we got to the castle, we were met by King Fenris and the warriors. King Fenris was barking orders to his warriors when I asked, "Have you found out how they got past the patrol?" King Fenris said, "We lost two warriors." I shook my head and got mad. I said, "I need my chair. I am not wearing myself out over rogues." Queen Nina was already on it, "Ashie," she yells, "I walk up to her and say, "You are amazing. Thank you." She said, "Just be careful. We can't have either of you getting hurt the day before the wedding." I said, "I plan on just using magic. Conri will stay by me." She said, "That's good to know." I yelled for Conri, and when he approached, I said, "Why don't we go on the roof again. We don't know how many we are dealing with, and I want to be able to heal our warriors as soon as they are down." He said, "Good idea. Dad! We're going on the roof!" King Fenris nodded and yelled, "I'll join you in a minute!" We went up to the roof, and we were met with an unbel

I woke up this morning to the most exciting and terrifying thought of my life. Tomorrow is my wedding! I am excited and anxious and scared to death all at the same time! Conri is definitely the love of my life. He keeps telling me that he's loved me since we were ten years old, but I never have gotten to tell him that I fell in love with him at about the same age. I don't even remember when it happened or how I realized it. I just always hoped he would be my mate. Which is why I was so happy to reject Mike. The guy was a fucking idiot. My Conri, my Prince, is a thousand times better; in mind, body, looks and heart. I know there are not many men who would've stuck by me when I was paralyzed. I also know that, if they had stuck around, they wouldn't have taken the time to research ways to cater to me, without making me feel like a burden on them. Conri has always treated me as his equal and no less. I don't know how I got so lucky, but I will never take it for granted... ever.
