CHAPTER 19 BAD TIMING

KASS'S POV

Wade pushed Cilla off him but not hard enough to hurt her,

“You think because you are carrying my heir, I’ll be forced to marry you” he said, seething.

I stood and watched, making sure he didn’t lose his s**t and hurt her.

“I have informed your father annnd…. She didn’t even finish her sentence when Wade yelled at her again.

“Too fucken bad Cilla, I will take care of you and my baby, but you will never be my wife. Once I tell my father about your little plan, you will at best maybe get to continue living with me, but the title of Princess will never be yours. Who knows how many true mates I have out there and you will become second to every single one of them.”

“You can’t do this to me” she yelled back. Cilla picked up the poker from the fireplace and held it to her stomach.

“I swear, I’ll kill myself and this baby. You will marry me, Wade. I no longer care” she continued.

Wade’s face paled. I didn’t wait till he responded and casted fire enough to heat up the poker so Cilla would drop it. I then casted wind suspending her in the air so she could not hurt herself or the baby.

Cilla screamed like a woman possessed. I didn’t sense any dark magic around her, but something was definitely off.

I held Cilla in the air whilst I made a quick call to the palace asking them to send the appropriate people to help with Cilla.

I couldn’t leave her in the air for nine months.

Wade dropped onto the couch, running his hands through his hair. Cilla was hiding something, but I couldn’t think of a way to find out what. What I could do though was bend blood and take a drop from the baby without hurting it, but I would need a calm Cilla to do that, or I could lie and tell her I had already done it.

I used my nails and discretely drew blood from my finger, when I had Cilla’s attention,

I made my blood look like it was coming from her direction.

She shrieked when she saw it.

“What have you done?” she yelled.

“I took samples from the baby, but the baby is fine. After all your deceit, we will have to do a paternity test”, I replied, trying to sound concerned.

“No, you, you can’t.”

“Why not, it will only take the Lab 24 hours to sort it out, sooner if the king orders it”

Cilla’s manic behaviour subsided. She was still suspended in the air, but her shoulders slumped, and she began to sob and rave a little,

“I swear I thought he was you. I had had a little too much to drink, but Wade, he looked like you but his eyes were green not blue like yours, he said he was wearing contacts. I missed you and I swear he was you; his scent was slightly different and he wasn’t clean shaven. It wasn’t until the next morning when I woke up I realised he wasn’t you, he had a phoenix tattoo on his back just like yours but his didn’t have flames like yours. That’s when I knew 100% he wasn’t you” she said, sobbing.

I looked at Wade. He was quiet, and his expression turned hard, almost murderous. The team from the palace came and took Cilla away. 20 minutes later, King Damien walked in and all that came from Wades' mouth was

“He’s back, Lucious is back”

King Damien’s face also paled as he slumped in the seat closest to him.

“Umm I am just going to leave you two here, you both look like you need time to think” I said, trying to leave so I could contact my brothers about this Lucious character. They would definitely know.

“Come here, Kass” Wade ordered.

I decided to be obedient. Wade pulled me onto his lap and breathed in my scent.

“Lucious is my twin brother and was my best friend. He blames dad for the death of the girl he was going to take as his chosen mate when he turned 18. He didn’t know she was a witch whose family practiced dark magic, he also didn’t know she was very alive. Her coven was wiped out but she survived” he explained.

“Hang on, the only coven of dark witches that my family ever destroyed was the Miller coven. They were enslaving pups that they had abducted. They were trying to create hybrids like me and mine but failed to do so naturally. The moon goddess wouldn’t allow it, so they began trying to use dark magic on the pups to do it.”

“That is right Kass, I went to your grandmother for help when they refused to stop. Melany was the only one to survive, your mother took her magic from her. She is all but human now and no threat. However, my son thinks I had her executed. She begged me to allow her to leave without his knowledge. She staged her own death, and he left us, ultimately becoming a lone wolf. Being royal, his scent never changed, and he is still officially a part of us.”

“He was 15 when he left. Melany, being a witch, had used glamour to make herself appear younger, but she was in fact 19 at the time. She thought if when he turned of age his royal alpha genes would be strong enough to impregnate her in, hope of creating a hybrid”, The king continued.

“Lucious left right after her fake death and wouldn’t allow anyone to tell him the truth, he has been gone for nearly 4 years”, Wade explained.

“Why don’t I remember there being two of you? My brothers never spoke of him”, I asked.

“Lucious was an introvert from a young age, almost reclusive. We never did send him away from the palace and when we had guests he would leave for our home in the mystic mountains” The King explained.

“Why is it a problem he is back? I mean just bust his ass till he listens”

Wade finally chuckled.

“Lucious,, is Royal Alpha just like me and my brothers busting his ass could lead to someone’s death. It isn't that easy, Kass”

“Well how about I bust his ass, hello hybrid Royal over achiever right here?”

King Damien and Wade were now laughing. I just huffed at them.

“Lucious is a master at evading, escaping and disappearing. If he doesn’t want to be found, he won’t be”, King Damien replied.

Before I could say anything, Fate decided to choose that exact moment to materialize. I rolled my eyes as he smirked at us all.

“Fate” King Damien said, a little surprised.

“Damien, how are you?” Fate replied casually.

“What are you doing here” King Damien asked.

“I am planning on being like a mate to Kass. I haven’t figured out how a celestial like myself connects to a supernatural, but I am here to let Kass know Selene has agreed, you are to be shared between me and the young Royal Alpha here.” Fate announced, pleased with himself.

"Your timing is so bad” I said, annoyed.

A growl ripped from Wade's throat.

“Settle pup, I know you do not feel jealous or even threatened by me, so stop acting possessive and share” Fate said, ripping me from Wade, hugging me from the back.

“Fate, can you come back later and make your stupid claim or whatever the hell you think you are doing, we are kind of in the middle of something” I said with a huff.

“No, I will be staying and you will be with me until I have to leave.”

“For a celestial, you are such a big baby”

“I am going to excuse myself and leave you three alone, and Kass, I must say I have never heard of a celestial and supernatural pair. Your mother has them as friends, but this is going to be interesting and if anyone can handle it you can, good luck my girl”, King Damien said as he left.

Fate sat next to Wade with me on his lap. Wade began to laugh, not what I expected.

“Best fucken day ever, my chosen mate is psycho, and my true mate is being courted by a celestial” Wade said sarcastically.

I moved from Fate's lap to Wades. He began to kiss my neck, making me moan. Before I could figure out what was going on, I was naked, lying on the rug on the floor with a naked Wade in front of me devouring me and a Naked Fate behind devouring me. Goddess help me, this was pleasure overload.
