Chapter Forty-six

Mei:

“Um…Mei we had a nightmare.” Davyn whimpered as Mikkel and Birgir appeared spooked behind him.

“Hang on boys, give me one second.” I spoke as I eyed around the room for anything to slip on.

Max tossed me my sweeter from earlier as him and JR stood behind the Bar, looking like they were enjoying themselves. Flashing a coy smile as I walked over to the boys standing in the doorway.

“Just you wait.” JR linked as Max laughed darkly as I led the boys down the hall to the kitchen for a snack.

“What was your nightmare?” I asked as I whipped them up PB&J with glasses of warm milk.

“Being chained again.” Mikkel whispered as they bit into their sandwiches.

Moon and Kyou howled in pain at the mentioning of them being chained. The heavy pang in my heart had tears streaming freely.

“Listen, I will share a secret with you. Never give up, never back down. Always fight. You understand?” I asked as their small smiles brighten with each second nodding in agreement.

“Good. That is how Max and I survived for so long, and now I am a mommy myself with a wonderful family.” I stated as I bit into my sandwich sitting quietly with boys.

“Mei, is it true that you and Jack are the King and Queen?” Birgir asked as he sipped his milk with a milk stash.

I nodded to them as their eyes glistened bright emerald as they stood up, placing their fists over their hearts.

“We the Silverfang brothers, swear allegiance to Lycan Queen Mei and her family.” All three boomed loudly as a weird humming circled around us.

Watching as a glowing rune meaning “Loyalty” appeared on their left wrists. I gasped as JR and Max rushed in the kitchen, followed by heavy wing flaps from outside as Lena and Drogo walked in the house.

“What happened?” Drogo asked concerned as Lena walked over to the boys, crouching down to them.

“We swore our allegiance to Queen Mei and her family. We feel safe here and we know she will protect us.” Mikkel spoke as he cupped his mother’s face with a prideful joy only a mother could witness.

“That’s right boys. Mei, Jack, and Max along with the rest of Demon Wolf will do great things and protect our kind from the monsters.” Lena cooed as she hugged her boys.

“Come on lets get you tucked back into bed.” Lena spoke as she followed them to their room.

“What does this mean?” JR asked looking at Drogo.

“When a Dragon swears allegiance under free will, that dragon or dragons, are granted immortality for as long as the family bloodline continues.” Drogo spoke proudly as JR pour him a whiskey.

“How old are you?” Max asked leaning forward on the island sipping his whiskey.

“Draven and Lana around six-hundred give or take, me and Lena are three-hundred and sixty, while the boys are sixty-two.” Drogo spoke with a hard grin.

We stood in awe as our mouths flopped opened and closed not finding the words to speak. The boys looked like they were probably ten years in age, not sixty-two.

“Is there anything we need to know to protect them, diet, special housing?” I asked while JR and Max perked a brow at me laughing lightly.

“What! I need to make sure they are taken care of and have proper diets.” I rebutted at their gazes as Drogo pulled me into a tight hug.

“Thank you. You have no idea how humbling it is to hear another care for a race hunted and slaughtered for their powers. You are truly a great Queen, even though you just took over.” Drogo smiled as I looked at the guys smiling proudly.

“If you guys will excuse me, I have four pups I need to check on.” I said as I turned leaving the guys to share fatherly whiskey is as I snuck down to the new nursery.

Instead of going through the clinic entrance, I used the second entrance right across from our room as I walked in smelling fresh rain, pine, honeysuckle, and cinnamon. Theos was curled in a ball between the cribs as I entered, sliding down the empty wall between the cribs as I hummed the only song I knew, while I watched my pups sleep silently. Azalea and Akai were huddled together as Azalea stirred in her sleep.

“Shush sweety mommy is here.” I hummed as I rubbed her stomach gently watching her face relax.

Silent tears rolled down my cheeks as I thought of Seth not being here to enjoy this precious little girl, that so was a mini Amelia with that red hair and spunky attitude. Shadowy moment caught my attention as I noticed Elias and Ben, camped out in the corner sofa with opened Motocross magazines draped across their chests.

“Hey.” I whispered as I shook their knees to wake them.

“Mei.” Elias yawned like a grizzly bear as I shushed him as Ben stirred awake.

“Everything okay?’ They asked as I nodded my head.

“Go get some sleep, its my turn to spend with my babies.” I spoke softly as they smiled, nodding their heads as I got comfortable in a Glide rocker I slid in between the cribs.

“Night Mei.” They linked as I waved them night, watching the ceiling change color with the twinkling lights as sleep climbed over my body.

Encased in a warm swirling of fresh rain, honeysuckle, pine, and cinnamon as a white hazy fog crept in.

“Mei my child.” Female voice spoke softly.

“Who’s there?” I spoke scanning the gentle drifting fog.

“You are more than I expected. I am sorry you had to bear so much pain and loss.” The female spoke finally connecting the voice.

“Selene?” I asked already knowing it was her.

“Yes. Glad you are not cursing at me.” She laughed softly as I felt that small bubble of anger, but I knew in my heart this was how it would be.

“It sucks. I will admit. I lost a precious little girl and Seth.” I felt the tears falling in my dream state.

“Would it ease your heart to know that Seth was reborn into Azalea and the little girl will soon be born.” Selene spoke softly as I felt the tears fall harder.

“Thank you, Selene, for telling me that.” I replied sobbing as I felt warmth wrap around me in a motherly embrace.

“Now go. Raise them pups to be strong warriors and pay close attention to Akai and Azalea, their power will present itself soon.” Selene spoke calmly as the white hazy fog dissipated, hearing slight crying.

Opening my tear-stricken eyes, finding all four awake crying. Cracking my fingers getting to work, grabbing pillows from the couches, warming the bottles for Nikola and Micah, seeing they now needed cereal added to their growing diet. Propping them up in the pillows as I grabbed Akai and Azalea, propping myself up against the couch as each one latched on hungrily. Theos stayed close by while I hummed swaying gently as I played with Nikola and Micah’s little feet with my foot as they ate hungrily.

“I thought I heard these little ones.” Amelia spoke softly as she entered from the clinic smiling at the sight in front of her.

“I got it covered.” I smiled as I continued to hum as Amelia sat next to me, stroking Akai’s little brown locks as his by-colored eyes roamed around as he ate.

“Amelia, I miss his so much.” I stated as tears rolled down my cheeks.

“I know sweety, so do I.” Amelia replied as she laid her forehead to mine as we smiled at the pups giggling.

Amelia burped Nikola and Micah, while I took care of Akai and Azalea as we laughed hysterically, when the baby powder exploded unto the floor thanks to Nikola and Micah. Akai and Azalea cooed softly as I played with their stomachs, noticing their birth marks of Crescent Moons, on opposite hips.

“I guess we will have to wait and see what great things you two have in store.” I laughed as Amelia looked at me with baby powder dusted all over her face.

“Like my anti-aging strategy of grand pup wrangler?” Amelia laughed as we sat quietly, rocking the twins to sleep as we shared smiles between us.

Regardless of all the fucked-up shit handed to me, I managed to find not one, but three great men, a family I thought was lost forever, and starting a family of my own. It sucks that one of my loves and pups did not get to experience life to its fullest, but I trust Selene when she says every wolf has a pre-destined path. My path happened to be filled with monsters, and bloody fights. I had to understand the darkness first before I could enjoy the light.

This is my Fighting Spirit, Mei Rockwell of the New Lycan Realm, guiding light and voice of the once lost supernatural races.

I am their strength, voice, and friend.
