Free Web NovelChapter 103: Chapter 103 We Will be Back
Abby’s POV
At the burial of the pack members, coven members, allies, and family, Matt and Jason were allowed to attend. They sat in a chair, with me and Ellie by their side. All who defended us were buried with honors. We mourned the dead together, cried and sang the song of our people together. None would ever be forgotten, and their sacrifice always remembered.
Mates, brothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, mothers. They were all a hero. All fought to their best to allow for a brighter future for their family.
Those who died from other packs, where taken home and buried in the same manner. I made sure we covered all expenses. Cards, gifts and words were sent to the families of a lost one. I assured all we stood with them in this difficult time.
When the burials were done, pack members shuffled by to condole the loss of the former Alpha and Luna. Matt, Jason, Ellie and I only said the same in return. We knew who had fallen by heart, their void present in our hearts. We hugged, cried, prayed and talked with all who needed it, taking care of our pack. Later, we would take care of each other.
It has been six months since the battle. We have mourned the dead, and now we are looking forward. The new plans for the pack lands were all in motion, and the monument for all who were lost on that day was taking form. We worked with the pack to help where we could. In the fields, at the plantations, the mills etc. Nothing was beneath any of us, and we stood together, which made me incredibly proud.
The children were a handful. Being around 9 months, walking and baby talking. We hired new nannies who were trained in combat. We needed them to defend themselves. Also, we made sure at least one of them had magical abilities.
More than one coven came to us after the battle and asked for permission to live on the pack lands, or the surrounding area. We talked this over with our neighbors, who had no protest. We missed Ornata and Greyson every day, and Matt became more quiet after their burial. He’s better and opens up more every day.
"Momma! See?!" Maze says while pointing at the skies. Being a werewolf baby makes them develop faster than others, and being the children they are - mine was even faster.
We are currently sitting outside enjoying the last heat of autumn. As I look up, I see three big silhouettes floating on the upwind, circling the place where we are sitting.
’My Queen, we are being watched.’ A guard named Marcus mind-links me. He is my personal guard, if I am not with Matt or any of the other.
’I see that, Marcus. Just stay calm. We will know in a minute if they are friend or foe.’ I link back as I reach for my powers within.
Amber crawls over the blanket and into my lap. She has her eyes on the figures, still circling.
"Mamma? Eh?" She asks in a small voice.
"I’m not sure, baby, but we will know soon. I think they are landing now." Marcus’s eyes glaze over and I know he is calling for backup. Matt is trying to reach me, but I only send a mental image back and he leaves me alone. He is on his way as well. We are not taking any chances knowing our enemy is still out there lurking.
The figures land just outside of our lands. Shifting back from their beast form. I can’t believe my eyes. They are.. Dragons. What the actual fuck!
’Queen Abigail, we would like permission to enter your lands. We need to talk.’ A deep male voice sounds in my head. Hm. That curious, he can mind-link me.
’Permission granted, but be warned; we don’t take sneak attacks lightly.’ I link back, knowing we have witches on alert in the forest. I can feel their tense aura from where I am sitting. My powers have grown since the battle.
Three tall figures emerge through the treeline, and I link the guards to let them through. They rush to me, and I see one of them is carrying a younger one on his back. The child seems to be asleep, but when they cross the borders, he wakes up. Eyes roaming around before settling on me. He jumps down and runs before the adult, who is shouting for him to come back.
"Hello pwetty lady." He says before bowing down.
"And hello little mate." He then greets my daughter. I raise an eyebrow at him as the others catch up with him. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"Mate?" I ask him, but the one who spoke in my mind answers in an annoyed tone.
"She is his mate. He has felt their bond since the day she was born. Which is not acceptable at all! She is not a dragon, and merely a drooling little baby." I stand up, as I feel Matt nearing. He walks to me without greeting our guests. I hand Amber to him and stand in front of them. Maze is in the arms of Marcus.
"If you have only come here to offend my child, I will suggest you leave. If she is his mate, he would be lucky to have her accept him when they are at age. But seeing as they are both little children, why don’t you let time do its work?" The one of the other men stares down at me, a sneer on his face.
"Do you know who he is, little girl?" He asks with venom dripping from his voice.
"Do you know who I am?" I ask him back, crossing my arms in front of me. He shakes his head.
"A mere servant. We came to talk to the Queen, Callus, not a servant." I laugh at his stupidity.
"I am the Queen, moron." I answer with an eye roll.
"And if the little guy really claims our daughter as his mate, then he can come back when they are both of age." I state.
"I am the King of the Western Dragon Kingdom, Callus. This is my son, Chase. We will come back when they are of age, so he can reject that little piece of.." I growl so fiercely they take a step back, backed up by the growls from all around us. My family does not like his tone.
Galaxy makes herself present.
"Leave!" Galaxy and I order with all our authority and magic behind it.
"Bye mate." The boy says, sadness all over his little face.
"Bye-bye." My sweet Ambers replies, before she jumps from her father, runs to him and hug him tight.
All the dragons gasp in surprise, even the boy. Amber smiles radiantly before going back into her father’s arms. Her eyes swirling with yellow and orange, until it settles as a ring around her pupils again.
"We will be back." King Callus says, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
