Chapter 91
As soon as the barrier was lifted and family now could see family Yinny rushed through throwing her arms around Kalaban. King Rowland makes his way through to embrace first me than his son. Sharon started to step back when king Rowland grabbed her arms. “Daughter of my son look at you. Kalaban you found a mate?” her wide eyes show a hint of fear. “father Sharon is mine but she was not with my mate. Yes, I found her or one of them. You know lady Mia KnightFlame?” the king's eyes leave Sharon snapping back to Kalaban. “wait my son and my granddaughter are mated to the dragon lord's offspring. What if this one is she mated to the goddess herself?” “close father she mated to the descendant's guardians.” Kalaban laughs out when the shock hits the king.
After a moment he looks over his shoulder “Sy is this one of the futures you have seen?” “dear it is and it is not. There is an off about now that was not here before. Something changed since the close of the barrier. Tell me daughter of my daughter what is different?” everyone staring at me I start to feel faint trying to think over what might be different than before. My chest is tight as the weight of what is happening takes me over. Neeiles steps out through the barrier wolves on this side now seeing a skin tone other than the various tans tones we have. Wolves in this time have not been granted sight to the border and had been in awe when king Rowland and Yinny stepped through. They both look to have a caramel tone. Ren has the dark browns and greens of the earth and his black fingertips along with the blackened ground under his feet. The poisons only stay if he wills it. Neeiles are the color of the brightest blue ocean. His hair was a deep blue of the deepest part of the ocean. He shimmers in a silver dusting all over him. His small shell necklace hangs around his neck at the end is a small jar of home water. Home water. “home water?” I blurt out starting at Sy. Sura stepped to the side letting Synaya come forward. “what about home water daughter of my daughter?” “say your home pool is frozen over would your home water” grabbing the pouch around my neck given to me from Sinnann. “ returned to its source. Could it help bring it back or thaw it?”
“what do you mean if my home pool was frozen it wouldn't be?” “but say it could and is” starting to pace thinking hard. I can hear the murmurers of the wolves around that can't see who I am talking to. When Mia comes out of nowhere. Shift back into her human form Kalaban throws his jacket around her. “lady Mia it's a pleasure.” “oh you and I both know I hate being called a lady.” she slaps his arm. “yes yes and once marked and mated to Kalaban not only lady of the dragon clans but a princess as well.” Yinny's twinkly voice sings through the air as she flutters just off the ground. With a face, Mia shakes her head. “me what about the alpha, princess, and lady see I am not the special one here oh, and did she mention carrying dragon twins.” Mia boast. Now all eyes are on me “well where is your brother then lady Mia?” with that her face drops in sadness as she looks at me. Kalaban pulled her to him.
“Ashley dear where is the young lord?” he looks around “where is the dragon lord and ladies if you are carrying a dragon let alone twin dragons they would be close to preparing the incubating chamber. What about the heart nest you would need two just in case they are not in the same egg. Mia where are your parents?” none of us spoke as the king rambled. Stopping when he sees our long faces. “Kalaban” was all that was needed “the witches hunted down every dragon to use their blood and bones for spells. A dark blood witch called Edith.” the king's eyes snap to mine I nod to answer his unspoken question as to if this was the truth. The tears in my eyes telling him everything he needed. “as for the young lord or well lord Rhett I don’t know where it is at the moment.” “at the bottom of the lake” I whisper out. Mia rushed to me knowing of the plan and how it had to have worked. “I don’t believe I heard you, right child, could you retell that?” “he's frozen at the bottom of the lake where Janet is also locked away.” “there is no spell that could keep a lake frozen like that for this long” sura stated a bit of worry in her tone.
“the spell got to you then?” Ren asked having everyone but Neeiles staring at him “what spell?” “the one to cut your bond to send the young lord into a frozen statue his ice flames taking over. He would keep anything around him frozen until the spell is broken?” “well then yes and it worked the lake is solid.” with a nod he and Neeiles turn and walk away leaving us all standing in stunned silence. I want to stomp my feet and scream at them to come back and tell me what they mean. But I am an alpha and I can't lose my cool. “Ash, I know this is bad timing but you need to infuse the nest stone with more hell fire. With the barrier open and wild magic strong again you might not have to work so hard now.” trying to sound more positive than any of us feel. With a nod, I turn around to head back to the pack house where the nest stone is. Mia has been off searching old dragon lairs for another nest stone.
I feel chads hand leave my shoulder as I walk away. I could hear talking from those behind me but I no longer understood the words.
