4 Leaf Clover

Chapter 18 Transporting Important Luggage

Ember's POV

I drive Yaya and I all the way across town and up my driveway as I park and quickly make my way to my place leaving her in my dust. I can tell she is following me so I don't slow down my pace at all.. because I want to get going now but I'm not going to be stupid and throw myself into this situation unprepared so here I am trying to make sure I'm being as smart as possible because it's my mates livelihood on the line..

I open the door leaving it open with her trailing behind me. I walk up to the locked closet unlocking it and then grabbing the axe from it. I hold it up, flipping it slightly in my hold as I turn into my room, swinging and hitting the floor with so much force. I pull the axe out then throw it back over my shoulder to get momentum going again. I throw it back down at the floor causing a huge hole in it to be exposed, as I hear from behind me. "What are you doing?"

I turn around to see Yaya looking scared and shocked all over her face as I reply.. "I was trying to bury my past but a part of me knew I would never fully get rid of it so I buried it enough to keep it out of my sight but enough I could get it if needed and I happen to need it right now.. as much as I hate myself for saying that."

"Just be careful." She says to me as she steps back to make sure she is being careful to not get involved as well. I get a sad look on my face as I respond without hesitation. "The sad thing is anyone around me needs to be careful because of being near me.. so you please be careful.. I'm trying with every last inch of me to not be that weapon anymore but sometimes my hand is forced in more ways then one.. Hence what's happening to your brother and I couldn't feel any worse about it." I say as I look away ending this hard conversation and continue chopping a hole into floor.

I get a big enough hole to reach down into it, pulling my multiple duffle bags out and throwing them onto my bed. I unzip the first one as I strip down into my bra and thong as I slip my leather full body armor that was made for my frame on. It still seems to fit me oerfect thankfully and It has multiple sheaths for my throwing knives and slings for my guns to strap them to my legs and back. So I open the other bags checking the weapons and cleaning them before strapping them to my body one by one. I'm shocking her completely that I don't think her mouth has closed once throughout all of this happening right in front of her.

"You really are Firecracker.. that's crazy to even think about.. But I don't judge you for your past and most of my family won't either.. I do promise you though, that Ronan is going to like this outfit so much.. no wonder he is head over heels in love with you.. You're a badass all around.. that I even know of so far. It's so cool that you will go to bat for my brother that makes me so proud to call you family Ember." She says making me smile as I shyly nod at her liking all of what she said.. it gives me a different type of confidence, knowing this is the place I need to be right here right now for not only my sanity.. which is comforting in a different way.

I walk up to her quickly as I take her leg into my hand. Strapping a knife strap to the inside her her leg making sure it fits her, then slipping in a knife, before saying. "You can have that and wear it under your dress for the wedding just in case. anything happens around you in the chaos." I say to her as she smiles and nods. "Thanks Firecracker." She says as I shake my head and reply pretty quickly. "Can you just call me Ember.. please."

"Yes of course I'm so sorry if I offended you.. I meant no offense.. my name is Enya by the way.. I was never actually formally introduced to you.. my friends and family call me Yaya though, so you can call me whatever sis. I love the sound of that! I always wanted a sister!." She says to me with so much excitement laced through her words making me smile so big as I shake her hand that she has extended.

"It's ok Yaya I'm not offended.. I just don't want to be that person anymore. So I'm trying to not think of myself as her at all." I try to explain as she nods at me. "Thanks for the knife I do feel better, safer now.. So just wondering.. if you don't want it to be a battle then why are you preparing for a battle?" She asks staring at me as I secure my boots on and putting hidden knives into those as well.

"As much as I don't want it to be a battle and no one get hurt.. I'm not an i***t either.. I'm heading into a kingdom of royalty werewolves during a sensitive time for them all.. to steal their soon to be king.. it could go very wrong for myself so quickly and I'm not going down without a fight. So I would rather just be safe then sorry." I say to her as I watch her think about everything I explained, then nod about what I'm saying.

"I'm glad Ro has you as a mate.. I don't understand why my father doesn't think you can take care of yourself just because you're human.. but I guess he is going to find out the hard way he was wrong about you." She says to me as I sheepishly smile and nodding my head.

"Thank you.. I think.. I think I'm the lucky one to get Ronan though.. he is amazing and I won't let him go without a fight.. hence me breaking out my past that I have been trying so hard to hide just for him. He is everything I wanted and more. So I have to make sure to get him back because I honestly don't want to live life without him.. That's not an option for myself." I reply to her as she smiles.

I then leave the rest of the weapons in my bag. I look at the clock and everything has taken hours to get cleaned, dressed and packed.. So we get out of my place and property pretty quickly, headed back to the bar to meet up with the guys because I'm sure they are getting there soon.. if not there already.

We get there in no time at all as we quickly get off my bike and make our way inside. Our group is in the darkened corner which makes me happier so I won't get looks because of the way I look right now by the other customers that are in the place.

"Holy Moon Goddess you look f*#king sexy Ember!" Sean states as the guys nod making me blush and shake my head at the extra attention I wasn't expecting from them of all people. "It feels weird to have this back on, I haven't worn it in years.. but it was made specifically for me.. It's full body armor and pretty light because of the material it's made from.. It takes me back to the old days.. but not on a good way." I explain as they nod still staring at me.

I sit down in between them as Nikki comes up getting me some whiskey on ice, same as the guys. "Thanks Nikki.. We need to order some food too when you have the chance because we need to get going." I explain to her as she vigorously nods her head and starts taking everyone food order around the table. As she turns to leave, I look at the guys stating. "Ok so how long does it take to get back to your property?" I ask as Roary answers. "7 hours by our Suv."

I nod in understanding before replying. "This will be perfect timing because by the time we get there we will have the cover of darkness to help in our favor.. It will give me a chance to hide and hopefully see Ronan before the wedding." I say to them as they smile and nod.

"He will love to see you in that. You're a sight for sore eyes and his eyes are so sore and need this right now." Sean states playfully to me as Enya laughs and retorts back, "That's what I said to her when I saw her put this on before." making everyone chuckle at her statement.

We get our food in no time at all as we quickly get filled up scarfing down the food as if we haven't ate in forever.

"So how should we sneak you into the property.. did you say by luggage? Because maybe we could put you into Ronan's Luggage and they might just take you straight to him but it's formality for our bags to be taken to the rooms for us.. bit by us which makes things complicated.. or we could sneak you in under the vehicle.. or something." Brenden explains to me as I weigh out the options.

"What are my chances of entering the property in the shadows, slowly making my way I'm on my own? do you have border patrols?" I ask them as they vigorously nod. "Yes there are lots of patrols out especially extra for a wedding.. So I don't think you have a chance of getting in without our help.. So we could help hook you up to the bottom of the vehicle and hope they don't smell you as we pass by.. or just cover you in Ronan's things so they can't smell you and you will have to wait until they drop you off in the room however long that takes." He says to me as I think about it for a moment.

"Ok.. I do think my best option is the luggage one.. but we need an actual suitcase, not this duffle bag and I'll cover myself with his clothing and cologne so they hopefully won't smell me but if they do notice me, it wouldn't be for a moment.. and hopefully to the point of me being transported into your place so I have time to figure something else out and I have my weapons on me anyways.. I did bring all of them because I didn't know if you guys needed some as well." I inform them as they nod and Roary states. "Thank for that. We weren't able to bring any of our stuff with us because of the type mission we were on and being away from home.. so it will be nice to have something. That makes me feel a little more at ease."

"Ok let's pay and head on out of here because we need to get there to get my mate back now." I say to them as they nod and we all start throwing money out onto the table top.

Brendan gets up and talking to Nikki hugging her tight and kissing her with such a passion completely melting her into a puddle of mystified love mush in his arms. I guess it must be how the matebond makes her feel because I know that exact feeling when Ronan kisses me.

He breaks the kiss as he smiles down at her but reluctantly leaves with us out the front door. I'm sure this is hard on the both of them but I'm very greatful for Brendan's help and dedication to his brother right now.

We all climb into their vehicle getting comfortable for our long but beautiful drive. I had never actually gone to this part of the state and I think it's amazing. The fall colors covering every last inch of the ground because the leaves are mostly fallen off the trees now.. the trees are getting more and more bare but not all the way just yet. The blue mountain tops are starting to get covered with light layers of snow making the tip mountain tops white as it turns I to a beautiful blue.

The whole scenery around us gets even more beautiful with the pinks, oranges and yellows that cover the sky with the sunset occurring right now.. not just loving the masterpiece before me but wishing I could spend this with Ronan.. I can't help but worry for him so much.. this is partially my fault.. it's not like I meant to meet him that day.. or even regret it at all, because I dont.. but I never wanted to make the situation harder than ever on him either.

"He is going to be ok Ember.. Don't worry you will get him back. Brenden says to me gaining my attention as I send him a small smile and nod.

"Thanks I'm trying to be positive but I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach and I can't shake it by any means.. It is making my nerves very uneasy at the moment.. or even just because of the closer we get to the pack lands." I reply to him as he nods and pats my shoulder trying to be reassuring. It's kind of working.

I watch out the window as the beautiful hues turn to dark ones covering the whole sky with a blanket of black with sparkles showing off the gorgeous, endless night sky.. giving us the cover we need.

We drive for a while longer as I see us pulling over but we are not there yet. Sean turns from the drivers seat and says back to me. "We are right outside the pack lands border.. so this is probably the best time to spray yourself and get into his suitcase and we will cover you with his clothing.. Are you sure you will be fine in there?" He asks me as I smile and nod.. "This isn't my first time of doing this.. I will be fine thank you." I say as I get up and open his suitcase. Spraying myself with Ronan's cologne all over my body making it smell like I took a bath in the cologne.. then laying down and tucking myself into the the rolling suitcase. Yaya is the one to tuck me in with his clothing so hopefully they won't notice my scent. The outside of the bag is labeled with Ronan's information so I will hopefully not be noticed but sent to his room.

I see them zipping up the bag most the way but leaving it partially open for me to breathe better until we get closer so they will zip it up the rest of the way..

I'm left in darkness just listening to the vehicle get closer to my destination as I feel my heart racing at this realization. I do some calming breathing exercises to help calm me, as I hear them zip the bag up the rest of the way meaning we are here.

I can feel the car stop under me and I can't hear what's being said but I can hear Sean talking with someone.. I'm just assuming security. The car moves a little more as we come to a complete stop and I can hear the car shut off.

The doors can be heard opening and shutting around me as I feel someone picking up the bag I'm in. "This is Ronan's bag I'll just take it to his room for him." Roary says to whoever as they quickly object.

"No I'm sorry sir but the king has strict orders for only the Queen or him to be allowed into Prince Ronan's room.. But he has given me permission to bring anything of his to the room. Prince Ronan will see you tomorrow morning at the wedding." He explains as he says, "This bag holds very precious items of Ronan's. I don't know if I can trust you to carefully take it to him." He retorts back as the guard scoffs and replies. "It's in good hands thanks for your concern Beta..have a good night." I can feel him take the handle of the bag and dragging me across the ground and into the building. I can hear an elevator.. really an elevator? How big is this place?

I can tell that we are going up and up and I think by the pauses inbetween each floor that there is 5 floors.. I think. I can feel the vibrations as he begins to roll me down this long hallway as I hear knocking and the door gets opened.

"Yes how may I help you?" I hear awoman ask. "Yes sorry to bother Queen Margaret.. but I have Prince Ronan's bag here because his friends and family are back and brought his things up." He explains as I feel the bag moving again, being rolled farther into the room now.

"Thank you for bringing this up.. have a good night." the woman or I now know of her as the Queen and his mother thankfully replies so sweetly.. until I hear her shutting the door and dragging it to I'm assuming a wall. I wait and listen to make sure it's just his mother in the room with him before I come out because I know she can be trusted with what Enya said about her and that she is voting for us.

I wait to make sure the coat is clear before I take my knife out and wedging it into the zipper. Time to get out of this thing and see the love of my life once again.. I need this more than anyone knows.
