Tyrus POV
She walked away like she gave me a bit of time figuring out what just happened. she had a family already, she had kids, had a husband and a whole life here. Looking at the wall, there were many up in the sky, pictures of her kids and herself were on the tree, one big one with all 4 of them and different ones around the tree. On the ground were pictures of other people. A whole family was here, no wonder she wanted to come back, she could not just leave all this and come stay with us. I walked into the kitchen and saw her looking at my phone, it was vibrating continuously, with messages from our mates back at home.
“Are you not gonna answer them?”
Her voice sounded sad and hurt, I guess remembering what had happened and what was going to happen now was affecting her more than I could have foretold, hell this whole situation was far from what i imagined it to be, come explain the whole misunderstanding, getting her to try again, live happily ever after. That had been the plan but that sure as hell changed so fast. Getting the whole flirtation down on the way here from Norway was easy considering the thing I had to do now.. I took a deep breath to steady myself, it wasn't working and was annoying but I had to cope in some way.
I went to my phone and dialed Gabe.
“Did you get there yet love?”
was the first thing Gabe asked, I could hear the ergentsy in his voice and the sadness too. I put the phone on the table in between the both of us as I sat down opposite her and put the phone on speaker.
“I am fine, thank you for asking sugar, and yes I have found her, I am currently drinking coffee in her very impressive farm house”
I smiled over at Penelope and winked at her, she shook her head, but I got a small smile and took a sip from her coffee.
“She can hear us?”
I took a deep breath as she shook her head, while looking me dead in the eyes. I hated lying to my mates but I got that she wanted to find out the reaction to the information, unbiased.
“No she went out for a bit, something about milking cows”
I said, she smiled at me and that was the first genuine smile I had seen from her.
“So, considering you are there drinking coffee, I'm thinking she is coming home?”
She shifted a bit in the chair she was on and looked at me shocked, now realising I was sent there to take her back, I could feel the fear from her.
“no, There are some other things we have to consider before we are even near that subject.”
I exhale and wait for an answer.
“And what is that?”
Gabe was not enjoying the slow torture of not getting his way.
“Are you all present?”
I asked, since I wanted the reaction from all of them at once, I had taken it rather chill, but I knew that that was probably not going to be the same for all of them.
“yea, we are all here”
Liam, rather annoyed, probably got told to shut the hell up by Cyllic, before they started calling me. I took a deep breath and figured I might as well get it over with, no use in sugarcoating anything.
“She has 3 children. Their father died 2 years ago”
The phone went silent and I had to click on the screen to see if it was still connected. I looked at Penelope, she was fidgeting with her hands and some of her color was draining, not a lot but still enough to know she was not comfortable in this situation. Without really thinking a whole lot, I got up and went to her, wrapping my arms around her shoulders from behind, I could feel her shaking under me, but her not rejecting the contact as she had done before was a nice change of pace.

“She has 3 children. Their father died 2 years ago”
The whole room went silent and we started to look at each other for a while before TJ broke the silence.
“Kids?”
He asked and Tyrus just hummed to us, no real feeling in his voice. It was hard to take this information in, I was okay with her having to carry and birth my mate's offspring, but her having already done that for another man was not really something I had even considered an option.
“kids”
Liam stated and exhaled, he placed his hands over his face and took a deep breath.
“Is she okay?”
Liam asked through his hands, and first I didn't even realise that it was the most appropriate question, but also that the second information we had gotten was a rather devastating question on her behalf.
“It has been 2 years, one of the reasons why she followed you from the hotel was because she was feeling ready to live on”
Tyrus was answering our questions but I had a feeling he had muted himself and was talking to her in between the questions. He was fine with it. So was I.
“I would not have it any other way”
I said out loud, Curt and Gabe looked at me stunned by my comment. confused and a little angry that I was fine with the whole being a widower part.
“Why?”
The sweetest voice I was longing to hear asked over the phone, I stood up and went to the phone on the table, picked it up and as I answered I was so happy, I even surprised myself.

“I would not have it any other way”
It was the voice of the man who had been with Liam that day.
“His name is Alex”
Tyrus said from behind me, his heart beat was strong and loud, it echoed in my head and I felt so comfortable that I could probably fall asleep right this instant.
“why?”
I asked after unmuting the phone. you could hear the shifting over the phone and the clicking as Alex I presumed picked up the phone.
“You my mate,”
He started and my heart fluttered at the comment.
“Are the strongest women, hell even being I know. You leaving us was heartbreaking but it was necessary from your part, I understand that now. And I also know what, had you not been married before, had you not had the confidence to actually accept all of this, you would probably never have come here to us and try this out."
My heart was beating, my hands were clammy and my eyes were filled with tears, he accepted my decision to go and leave them, he knew I was in the right and that they were wrong.
“You being a mother, is rather surprising, not that it does not fit you but because… I think I speak for all of us, but we had hoped that we would be the one to give you the joy of becoming a mother”
Alex was crying over the phone and my heart was breaking, or rather mending as he tried to keep on talking, but another voice started talking over the phone.
“We understand that we hurt you, and we are completely sorry my sun, but believe me, when I say that we would love nothing less than be part of raising and nurturing your children, alongside of you or any way that you see fit.”
I took a shaky breath as Tyrus handed me the phone, when I held it in my hands he scooped me up and sat down in the sofa, me still on his lap, I tried not to relax into him too much, afraid of the hurt that might come with it, I sat straight on him and he let me, just sitting there with me and not moving. The tingles spread on my back as he was lightly stroking it.
“His name is Cyllic”
Tyrus said behind me, I shifted as I sat sideways on him.
“Cyllic is a Forest nymph. A creature known for their control over elements and possessiveness over their family. If he says to you he will play the role you see fit, means that you are safe with him, as are your children”
I looked him in the eyes searching for some sort of traise of… anything really.
“Who is the guy with the red hair that smelled like Liam?”
I could hear a groan from over the phone, sounded like Liam was dying from constipation.
“My name is Alex”
The shaky crying voice said over the phone.
“I am a crimson dragon”
I took a deep breath and tried to realise the information I had been told. Our conversation went from my life to theirs in only a few seconds.
“So Liam is a two headed goat”
I started and heard Gabe dying from laughter again, I had the feeling that getting the mood better would help somewhat.
“Gabe is a horny vampire”
This time Tyrus flinched beneath me and I could see he was swallowing a laugh.
“Alex is a Dragon, Cyllic is a forest nymph, Curt is a chimera.”
I was getting to the end, pointing at Tyrus
“I assume you are a centaur or something along those lines, and what about TJ?”
“I'm a Demon”
He said over the phone.
“And ill be good, ill do good now, so please come home soon?”
I smiled at his confession, he sounded like a 5 year old being left behind by bad parents.
“Please come home love”
Gabe sounded over the phone, I once again started to feel the pull that I had felt with Liam that day in the Hotel. But I knew that, that feeling could disappear as fast as it surfaced.
