Alastair

Chapter 8

5 months later.

I could hear Alastair screaming, I could hear men fighting. I was hidden in the closet waiting for my love to come back to me. My hounds left me to protect him like I asked them too. The bedroom door crashed open.

"Find the Queen quickly, we must get here leave before they come to." I heard a mans voice say.

Than I heard a growl and a hiss, fighting broke out someone's body hit the door with a loud thump.

"Take her too, Victor will hate knowing I have what's his." the man said with a laugh.

I shrunk back into the clothing hoping they wouldn’t find me, praying my mate was okay. I wanted to wake up from whatever terrible dream was playing itself out.

"She's not here my King." a man said.

I heard first steps leaving my room. I slowly stood up walking to the closet door and opening it.

"Surprise Princess." the stranger said with a sadistic smile spreading across his face. "Your coming with me."

Soon I was being dragged out of  the room kicking, screaming and trying my hardest to fight him off but his grip on my arm was to strong. I looked over to see a wolf with it's jaws around Arabella's neck.

"If you don’t stop fighting me, she will die." he laughed. "Do you want to see your friend die girl?"

I stopped fighting instantly. I looked over to see my mate laying on the floor unconscious along with Victor, Evan and Rowan. I hope they are all okay, I couldn’t bare losing any of them especially the love of my life. I watched as they dragged me from the room willing a finger to move anything letting me know he was alive. I saw him look up at me for a split second before he fell again. These men put me in the back of a black SUV, shoving Arabella's body in next to me. Once the door was shut I grabbed her pulling her on to my lap checking to make sure she was alive. I saw her take a breath, she's okay. I kept her in my lap trying to shield her from harm when her eyes flickered open I looked down at her holding my finger to my lips.

"They don’t know your awake, if you move quietly we might be able to get away from them." I whispered in her ear.

She nodded, moving very carefully behind the man driving. She looked back at motioning my to put a seat beat on. As soon as the belt clicked she grabbed the driver sinking her teeth into him before snapping the passengers neck. She opened the door pushing the driver out of his seat before climbing in place taking control of the car as it went all over the road. I held my stomach, I can't no I won't let anything happen to my child.  Arabella gain control of the SUV, she turned opening the passenger door and shoving the other mans body out before grabbing and closing gaining control of the car again.

"Where are we my Queen?" she asked.

"I don't know Arabella, I don’t know." I said looking around trying to find a sign any sign. I started feeling sharp pains radiating up my side, "f**k!" I screamed causing Arabella to slam on the breaks. She was in the back seat next to my before I could blink.

"What is it Esme?" she asked placing her hand on my stomach.

"It's time Bell…" I said through my teeth. "We need to find somewhere to stop."

She was back in the front seat slamming on the gas, about 6 miles down the road there was a dirt pull of she took, it was taking us to an old run down cabin nestled 5 miles in the woods. She quickly parked getting out and running to my side of the car opening the door and helping me out into the cabin, I got as comfortable as I could when she left to gather wood for a fire. I worked on taking my pants off and laying back on the bed that was already there. I could feel another contraction building, taking a deep breath and using all the strength I rode through it.

"Please Alastair hear me, I need you.. Please find me." I thought willing my connection to him.

Arabella came inside laying the wood, she went back to the door closing and bolting in place.

"I found some blankets and hoodies in the car we can use." she said laying them next to me before she tended to the fire. Another contraction came this time is was so much stronger and my water broke. I kept breathing, sucking in a deep breath and letting it go slowly. I felt my body wanting to push, I tried holding back. I needed to keep control but the natural urge to push was to much for my to fight, I gave over control letting my body take charge.

"Arabella I need you please." I begged her,

"I am here Esme, you can do this. Remember what you Alastair practiced." she said as the door came crashing in, after the dust settled in the entry was a wolf, he was as big as my hound Shuck. Arabella stood crouching down giving a warning hiss ready to attack. Another contraction took my body over, this time I started pushing it felt like the fire was ripping through my body. I looked over to see Arabella in a death match throwing the beast across the room, biting and ripping at it's neck she was fierce. Another contraction another strong push, I felt between my legs find my child's head was free of my body, I unwrapped the umbilical cord making sure the baby could breath before another contraction pounded into me with the final push. I looked down seeing my perfect baby boy looking up at me. He didn’t cry not once, he was strong like his father. I wrapped him in one of the blankets than checked myself to see if I was going to bleed out, everything felt fine. I looked to see Arabella being held agaisnt the wall by her throat. I tried getting up to aid her but I wasn’t strong enough I fell back to the bed.

" I am so sorry." I mouthed to her, she looked at me with soft eyes and love, I thought it was the end of my beloved friends life but that's when Stuck came in ripping the wolf of her dragging him outside, next Rose came in putting herself in front of me than Fern and Willow came in placing themselves in front of Arabella while she composed herself, I didn’t here any fighting outside instead I heard a low growl and than my mates voice.

"Get inside now!" he yelled as Victor, Evan and Rowan coming running in Shuck and Alastair where in last, the men closed the door and blocking it with tables and chairs that were left. I looked to see Victor wrapping Arabella in his arms kissing her and looking her over for any injuries. I looked back to Alastair to see him staring at the child I had pulled to my chest, he walked over slowly looking me over before sitting on the bed leaning in and placing a kiss to my cheek.

"I am okay my love, just tired." I said smiling. " This is your son."

I unwrapped him just enough so his father could see his face.

"I have a son." He said taking him from my arms. "What have you named him?"

"Dagon, after your father." I said brushing my finger over his cheek.

Alastair looked at me with tears in his eyes. "You honor him. You honor me my Angel."

"I know your in there Demon King, along with you Elf, Faye and Vampire pets." I heard a voice yell from outside.

Alastair let out a growl, handing me our son back and standing.

"Shuck with me. Rose, Willow and Fern you stay her and protect them." he looked to his men asking a silent question they all seemed to agree with. They moved the furniture out of the way and went outside. That's when the cries and screams started. Than it was quite, to quite. I sat up looking at Arabella she looked just as confused.

"Now Demon scum you will die here along with your lords. I will kill the vampires mate and than I will kill your child keeping your mate for myself." the man said.

I felt a strange stir inside of me. I stood up walking over to Arabella handing her Dagon.

"Keep my child safe. If I do not come back you take him with Willow and Fern and run. Do you understand me?" I asked her.

"Yes my Queen. Please come back." she said backing to the other side of the cabin with Willow and Fern stuck to her side. Rose came over to me rubbing her body agaisnt me before we turned towards the door. I closed my eyes feeling the fire roaring through me with no direction.  I focused all my rage rallying my fire into my arms and hands I opened my eyes looking down to see my hands glowing with little fire buds dancing along my finger tips. I looked over smiling at Rose who was ready to fight. I walked outside seeing wolfs holding Victor, Rowan and Evan down to the ground, than I saw my mate with a metal spike through his body keeping him in place with a large man walking around him. I walked towards the circle.

"Well hello." I said with a smile before setting his wolves on fire. Rowan jumped up fighting off the ones I missed Victor ran to Dagon and Arabella and Evan stood closing his eyes calling the elements to his aid. I turned to see my sweet Shuck being held down with chains I motion Rose to go aid him. Than I turned my attention back to my mate.

"I think you have something that belongs to me."  I said with another smile taking more steps towards them.

"You b***h. Your going to pay for this." he growled I could see his body breaking and reforming as he shifted. He looked my growling and baring his teeth.

"Come here boy." I said mocking him. He lunged towards me jumping at me, I caught him by the throat sending all my rage filled fire into his burning skin,  he tried fighting agaisnt my grip but it was no use  with a snap of the wrist he was dead. I dropped him running towards Alastair calling for Rowan, he was able to pull the bar from Alastair's body, I caught him as he fell, placing him gently across my legs I placed kisses wiling his eyes to open.

"When will you let me save you for once?" he asked while laughing.

"I thought we lost you." I said with tears flowing down my face.

He leaned up placing a kiss to my lips before standing up and taking me with him.

"Well we are going to have a big problem on our hands, you killed their King and their Prince is worse than he was.

Rowan I need all of you and your mates with your worriers in the Faye realm it will be easier for us to defend from the tree when he next attack accrues." Alastair said.

We looked up to see Arabella and victor walking out with our son in their arms and willow and fern behind them. Arabella came over placing Dagon in my arms before returning to Victor.

"Rowan will tell you what to do. It needs to be done quickly. Evan is your realm ready?" Alastair asked.

"Yes my King we will be ready for your arrivals." Evan said before he disappeared into a wall of butterflies.

Alastair returned to us wrapping his arms around my waist and transporting us home to pack.

"Get what you need my love and gather your hounds we need to leave quickly." He said taking Dagon from my arms.

Within 24 hours our world was turned upside down. I fear for my mate, for my son and for my friends. I would die before someone harmed anyone I loved.

This included the Wolf Prince.
