The Alphas Queen

Honey, I'm Home! (Part 2)

“You ready?” Nait asked

For the last two days, after convincing Gemma that they needed more rest and had to plan better; Gemma was finally ready to get going. To save her father. Her real, blood father. Nait had listened to her views and worry about the time frame and he had come back to her to confirm that it was ok for them to wait. They had decided not to tell Lily about their plan and to use Nait’s cottage to do the spells needed.

Max had been granted a temporary pass into Naits cottage on the academy because of his connection to Gemma. When they had been at the Scottish border, Nait had come up with a plan in which he could whisk himself, Max and Gemma back to the academy. When Maddie, Cindy and Ben had insisted on knowing where they were going and why, they had decided to dangle a carrot in front of them. Nait had indicated that he would tell them all a secret when they were back                                                                                                                                                                                        Cindy had insisted on coming with them as Gemma’s Vo-Suie but Nait explained that she couldn’t go with them. This had started a heated argument where the friends all shouted and fought with each other until Aurorra took over and commanded them to stay, stating this was a severe matter only Nait and Max could be part of and that where they were going, Nait and Max could handle.                                                                                                                                                                                         With no choice but to listen to their Astrid, Nait had whisked them away back to the academy and his cottage a few hours later once they had made the necessary arrangements, leaving Cindy and Ben in charge of getting the warriors prepared for further battle.

“Yes” Gemma said, nodding her head

“You know. There wasn’t a need to dress like a sexy Lara Croft to get this done” Max grumbled

“Really?. We doing this now?” Gemma asked, her eyebrows raised

“Look at you” Max said, his eyes dialating

“What’s wrong with me?” Gemma asked as she looked down at herself

“Nothing...except I want to take you right here on the floor and f**k you raw” Maxsius said, his voice gruff “Hello little mate”

“Maxsius” Gemma whispered, her mouth dry

“The pup is angry, jealous of anyone’s eyes caressing your body. Those black tight jeans, that black vest like top...hmmmm and your lovely hair in a knot...indeed you do look like that character. I like it” Maxsius growled, holding her tight to him

“Th..thank you but...uh...we need to go” Gemma gulped

“You smell so good little mate of mine” Maxsius said, inhaling her scent from her neck “How about I rip off those jeans and shove my co-”

“I really don’t want to hear about how you wish to rut on my sister Maxsius” Nait said with a face

“Deal with it” Maxsius said, nuzzling her neck

Gemma started to pant a little, turned on as Maxsius ran his tongue along the side of neck

“Maxsius!” Nait shouted

Masius growled, throwing a hate-filled glance at Nait. His eyes flashed at him as he held onto Gemma who was now holding onto him

“Don’t make me do it” Nait threatened

“Do what?” Gemma panted out

“Don’t!” Masius growled

“Now is not the time Maxsius. I promise that once this is over. No-one will disturb you for at least a month. But we need to go now. The window to do this is small….so let her go” Nait said

Maxsius growled again

“Let...her...go” Nait encouraged

Malakaie suddenly flashed through, his eyes an exotic yellow and blue as he and Maxsius internally fought for control, their faces changing around. Finally Malakaie won and he stood taller as he took control

“Malakaie” Nait nodded

“Y...you won?” Gemma asked him, blushing when Malakaie looked at her intensely

“Only because I promised him first try with you when we had you to ourselves. Remember my Astrid. Each of our beings need to mate with each other in their form. Your human pup has had you many times. His feelings were more than lust, it was also jealousy of someone typical of an Alpha who didn’t want anyone to look at what was his. You’re wolf has yet to mate with you and is often irrational” Malakaie cut off as Maxsius let out a low growl

Nait laughed while Gemma flushed furiously

“And while I also ache to mate with my Fae counterpart, I am more logical; more practical. After all, I am Fae” Malakaie boasted “That was enough for him to back down”

“But I have...I mean...been with Maxsius” Gemma said

“Not in wolf form” Malakaie said

“Oh” Gemma said, blushing even more

“And on that note, we should go. Malakaie, I take it you are coming with us?” Nait asked, his face pale

“Yes” Malakaie replied

Nodding, Nait held out his hands, his head thrown back as he muttered a spell. Gemma held onto Malakie as soon as she started to feel the change. A blue and white light shined above them as gold dots floated around them before the disappeared

Lily paced up and down the golden throne room, her white, open-toed Greek-style sandals silent against the glass flooring. Her long black hair tied up in an intricate, complex knot with some stranded beaded while others were plated. Her cheek had a touch of blush on them but she knew it was only a handmade cosmetic powder.                                                                                                                         T                                                                  This morning, when she had woken up and had been told by Nait about Gemma's extra powers, Lily's heart had dropped. She worried how powerful her daughter was. Without power can treacherous greed and the need to kill! Since then, she had been trying to contact both of her children and there had been nothing! No contact, no connection of energies or mind-links. Nothing! Zilch! Nada!                                                                                                                                                                                              Lily had decided to ease her worry by dressing in a white organza dress. With one shoulder bare, the other had the  material cut up in ribbons and adorned her right shoulder, holding up the long dress which glided behind her as she walked. A long white with gold lining; material hung from the top of her shoulder and arched almost like a wedding dress train, the other part of the material pined at her waist; the long train floating behind her.

"My Queen" Pontus said, dipping his head in submission

"Anything?" Lily asked as she turned to face him

"Nothing my Queen. They left the packhouse this morning and we know they went to the cottage. But as you know, once there-" Pontus cutt off

"They disappear unless the bloodline is used to find his home. Oh Pontus" Lily continued, her hand on her forehead as she huffed out a breath "Where are my children?"

"I am sure they are safe my Queen. Both Master Nait and the Astrid. They are formidable. Plus Max is with them and he will not allow anything to happen to them, especially his mate" Pontus said, his eyes trying to provide a calming affect

"She is untried, so young. And he has had a lifetime of burdens...many lifetimes" Lily whispered, her eyes sparkling "He has never been blessed to be just a boy...just my little boy"

Sighing, Lily turned and paced back towards the glass staircase, her body trembling with the fear of a mother. 

"Let me bring you something to replenish your strength my Queen. You haven't eaten or had anything to drink since you heard" Pontus said 

"I couldn't possibly eat now Pontus. Not until they are home...safe and I can touch them again. Where are they? Why didn't they tell me what they were doing or what is going on?" Lily said with worry

"Please my Queen. Let me serve you" Pontus said, his worry for Lily strong 

Nodding, Lily smiled tensely in gratitude to Pontus as he bowed and hurried away, calling out to the staff standing outside the glass door. 

As Lily turned back around to pace, she took a step onto the glass staircase, intending to try calm her worry but sitting and preparing for nurishment when suddenly a shudder went through the walls of the case. Lily whipped her body around and looked towards the door; her eyes wide as a shudder after shudder caused the glass door to shake, her eyes following the way the white walls of her castle and throne room shook with force...as if a giant was running and hitting against it.

Immediately, hundreds of guards ran into the room, armed for battle; behind Pontus who stood before the Queen

"Save the Queen. Guard her with you're life" Pontus shouted  You there, tighten up the circle"

Lily gasped as the walls shook again, her heart racing as she tried to understand what was going on. 

Mother Nait said in her head

Lily gasped as she felt her son's presence around her. Just as Lily felt her heart call out to him, the glass doors of the throne room burst open without break and a rush of wind caused everyone to shield their eyes, the Queen crying out in surprise.                                                                                                                   As the wind down, the guard started to mutter amongst themselves and Lily tentatively  stepped forward, slipping between the guards, her hand on their shoulders before they moved away, parting down the middle like the sea. 

Lily gasped when she saw the bloody, injured group before her, her hands covering the shocked gasp from her mouth; her eyes unwilling and unable to believe what she was seeing inf ront of her.

Max and Nait were kneeling on either side of a figure, holding him up even as he was bent forward, his long hair covering his face. Gemma had been standing behind them, her cheek bruised, a gash over her left eye as she protected them all in a force field bubble. As soon as Gemma let the the protection bubble go, she fell with a cry, her breath choppy. Lily could hear Pontus shout out instructions from behind her but she couldn't hear them.

She only had eyes for them...for HIM! How? Was this a dream? Once like she had before, so..so many times.....only to wake up and find herself alone! Her silent sandals took her a few steps forward, a loud gasp leaving her mouth when he lifted his head and smiled, his eyes full of wonder; his smile radiant.

"Hello honey. I'm homeee!" Tom said with a lump in his throat

Before his eyes rolled back into his head and he collapsed, welcoming the blackness beckoning him
