Part 5 Chenoa Heals Too

A talk with Ophelia

Chenoa's POV

We stood in an open field, which made me extremely nervous as we waited for Blaine to arrive. Was I wrong for lying to Zion and telling him EMONI was dead? Maybe, did I regret it, not at all. That b***h caused my sister great pain and I'd used her over the years as a punching bag. I'd done a lot of miserable things to her and I was ashamed of that, but she used magic to seduce Zion and become pregnant with Maden. She deserved every fracture, missing tooth, whatever she deserved it.

"So do you think my son is okay?" Kevin asked, looking at me.

"I think Blane would have said something if he hadn't been. Why don't you ask what you really want to?" I looked at him and he looked back at me with a raised brow, "And what is that Alpha?"

"How is Tabatha?" I gave him that stop-playing look, "you had better be on your best behavior Kevin."

"Look, I do not have any issue with Richard!" Kevin said to me and I knew he was lying,

"Or?" I said,

"Or what?" Kevin asked,

"Or who?" I laughed at him, "I do not know how this is going to go with Blaine either, but just let me do the talking."

"You didn't tell him I was coming? Seriously, Noah, I haven't seen that d**k since …"

"Since he beat the s**t out of you for screwing his mate," I poked him in the chest.

"She was my mate first," he gave a low growl.

"Kevin," I warned again, "I mean it, if you screw this up for us I will kick your ass myself."

"I can keep my cool, you better hope he can keep his." Kevin retorted as I glared at him. The transport vehicle came out of nowhere, it just appeared. Blaine did not look pleased to see Kevin.

"You had to bring him?" He said, getting out of the transport vehicle.

Kevin growled but said nothing, "Yes I did. Now let's get this over with."

Kevin peeked inside, "Where is Tabatha?"

Now why did he ask that? I barely blinked and Blaine had snatched him up. Richard was sitting inside fuming with several other men as Blaine and Kevin once again rolled around on the ground. "You have got to be shitting me!" I yelled, jumping in between them, "Stop it both of you! You look like idiots fighting over a woman while her mate is just a few feet away." I hissed at them both. Blaine had Kevin in a headlock at that point.

"So are we going to just forget the world is on self -destruct so you can stroke your ego's?" I threw my hands up, forget this. They were impossible to seperate. I nearly tripped and fell on my ass trying to get in the middle.

Richard, along with several other men, got out of the transport vehicle and watched as the two idiots struggled to gain control of one another.

"Hey, Richard, how's it going, hot stuff?" I asked, approaching him.

"Seriously!" I heard Kevin let out a muffled yell.

"Pretty sucky actually, got banished, worlds ending, forced to be in the presence of these two dicks." Richard said nonchalantly.

"You could have stayed behind!" Blaine yelled.

"Could have been fun doing my mate all over your Palace, but I thought you," he looked at me, "might need a hand."

"Keep it up jackass, and your next." Blaine hurled at Richard. Richard looked disgusted at their behavior, "Chenoa we are banished." He looked really sad,

"Did you know about them?" I had to ask.

"Yeah, it was before we had anything official going. So I can't be mad, I just hate that I lost everything." He looked so withdrawn, "Guess that's the price we pay for love."

"Richard, I lost my delta, kind of in need of one." I didn't give it much thought because he looked so sad.

"Your okay with," he nodded toward Blaine,

"So much testosterone around here, can we please go already?" I practically barked at the two asses,"Well let's just say I can get over one, discretion."

"If I let you go, you little prick, and you swing at me I'll break your f*****g neck." Blaine hurled at Kevin. Richard and I just looked at each other and to my surprise he picked me up and twirled me around. "I accept!" He said happily.

"You sure you don't want to run it past your mate first? Where is Tabatha, anyway?"

"She stayed in Zerion with the kids." He was smiling even with his eyes. Richard was absolutely adorable. I kind of wanted to do him. I wouldn't, of course, but I was so attracted to his quirky sense of humor and mannerisms. Tabatha's mates were really hot. Hell even Blaine was gorgeous although he aggravated the crap out of me and Kevin….

"Bro, I swear if I let you go and you swing at me I will kick you into next week!" Blaine growled.

"I thought you were more of the stab you in the back type of guy." Kevin had managed to wiggle free and got off one punch. Blaine stalled for a second and so did I. He looked at Kevin although he was pissed. I felt something, hurt…. It had to be the way we were telepathically communicating; it was creating some kind of weird bond. I didn't like it one bit. Blaine walked over and punched Kevin so hard his knees bucked. "Alright damn it!" I walked over, stepped in between them while Kevin struggled to catch his breath. Blaine had punched him in the heart and Kevin was turning blue. I reached down and placed my hand on Kevin's heart and he immediately took a raspy breath. Tears rolled out his eyes. He was looking at me frantically. 'Felt like I was dying!' he said to me.

'You are okay now,' I turned to glare at Blaine. I pointed to the transport vehicle. He kicked at the rocks and went stomping toward it like a little kid.

I helped Kevin inside and Richard and him just stared at one another, "So what's our plan?" I asked a still brooding Blaine.

He looked at me and said nothing. He was pissed. I bought Kevin along with us. Did he expect a warm fuzzy reunion? He punched in a few buttons on the dashboard and off we flew. I hadn't done much traveling with Cat, really none. So this was freaking amazing! "How fast does this thing go?" I asked, "what does this do, can I drive?" I reached out to touch the dashboard and he smacked my hand away, "Can you not," he huffed.

I let out an aggravated sigh as I fell back into the very hard and uncomfortable seat. "Who designed these seats, they are horrible?"

"Oh my Goddess it's beautiful out here," I said, crooning my neck for a better view. We slowly approached Blaine's fleet, which was awaiting formation. It was impressive although I would never admit it to him. He took the lead, "Buckle up Noah, it is dangerous out here."

"Oh now you care," Kevin mumbled, earning a, "Umph," from Richard. I guess they were in agreement about something for a change.

"Doesn't look so dangerous," I said,

"Yeah, well I assure you if Kreis the dragon lord knew we were out here his men would attack and I assure you he is nothing to play with. That and, of course, there is the occasional meteorite and then just random s**t floating out here." Blaine said,

I suddenly felt uncomfortable. Blaine had no idea I was mated to Kreis. Not that I cared, but I wondered what he would think. We pulled in front of a huge dome, "time to make our presence known."

Blaine shot off a warning shot, there was static that came across his radio and suddenly we heard, "This is General Price. You are trespassing on private property. This is a restricted zone."

"This is King Noble of Zerion, Cypress, Noxus, Wellington and Olay. I wish to speak with your King." Blaine said with a cocky confidence that secretly made me kinda proud. Who am I? How would Cat feel knowing not only had I taken her mate but I also worked alongside the man that stabbed her in the back. There was silence from the other party and then the shield disappeared and Blaine and half of his fleet entered, leaving the other half to wait. Once we entered Blaine and I got out, the King left his Palace and came to greet us. I had never seen anything that stood so beautiful. The King reached his hand out and shook Blaine's. He did not look much older than Blaine, "How ya doing, King Everett, at your service. How can I help you, King Noble?" He asked. He was very handsome too. Blaine looked around, "Nice space you have here. The king nodded as he looked around awkwardly in agreement. It was obvious the king knew Blaine had the upper hand but he was not sweating at all.

"Yeah, I just inherited it about two months ago." King Everett said.

"You sound different, not like others I've met."Blaine said to the hot king.

"Oh you ain't heard the story,"he nodded, "I'm the bastard child. I was raised in Louisville, Kentucky. Hell, I didn't even know anything about this place until about six months ago. Apparently, my brother Aaron, who was next in line to be king, died in some freak accident. I have another brother but he is homosexual and apparently that s**t is frowned upon here. So I am minding my freaking business when all's a sudden the old man appears out of nowhere and tells me it's time to take my place because he is dying of cancer. I know that was a lot. It was for me to not to mention the homosexual is not so homosexual because I caught him and the wife together, cheating w***e. I know it's a mouthful. But judging by your army s**t, I can't do anything with that, but at least I can say I was king for a few months." He concluded as me and Blaine just stood staring at him.

"Damn your s**t is almost as jacked up as mine," Blaine finally blurted out, "Do you have charisma?"

"Hells yeah that's the coolest part about all this." Everett laughed, "and dude, I only gave you half of it. Trust me, you can not compare!"

"Yeah, my mate got pissed at me for sleeping with my ex, who cheated on me with that guy," he pointed in the transport vehicle at Kevin "and now she is with that guy." He pointed at Richard. "She was so mad she tried to poison me and kill my kids."

"Dude, I didn't know my dad, mom told me he died in a car accident." King Everett laughed.

"My dad is a God," Blaine put his hand on his shoulder, "Like a real one from up there", he pointed toward the sky "and he ordered to kill an entire species. Nobody's dad is a bigger d**k than mine."

"Are we really doing this now? Can you trade trauma stories later? This is ridiculous!" I snapped.

"Whose the nut cracker?" King Everett asked, looking at me.

"My sister," Blaine said,

"Don't call me that! Do you know what's going on with Earth?" I asked him. He looked at me and smiled and shook his head no.

I stepped closer to him, "Earth is being destroyed, the humans know of our existence now, there is a Goddess that is destroying the planet." The King stared at me but said nothing. I guess he was taking it in, "what do you mean destroyed?" I looked at him like he was crazy, "Dominique!" He yelled, a woman came from the palace to stand beside him. She looked at him very seriously. She was gorgeous. Straight up and down, all legs but very pretty. Her complexion was about the same as mine but her eyes were a golden yellow that really gave her a unique look.

"Yes, your majesty." She looked at him like he had destroyed her peace and she was annoyed at being standing beside him.

He frowned. I guess he is still not used to his position.

"They say the Earth is destroyed. Show me." The woman waved her hand and a view of Earth appeared. The King turned several shades of green then vomited everywhere. "Can you tell me if my mother is okay?" He asked her.

She gave him a blank stare, "Your family perished several days ago."

"YOU DIDN'T EVEN LOOK!" He yelled.

"The King ordered me not to tell you your majesty for fear you would do something…stupid." The woman said.

"You knew my mother died days ago!" He grabbed her by the neck and I went to intervene, but Blane grabbed my arm, "this does not have a damn thing to do with us." He picked her up and tossed her. He was seething and was completely losing it. The man started to cry, his face turned red. "What do you need?" He tossed his hands up, "Take this s**t! I don't care!"

"I don't want your Kingdom man, I just need the weapon," Blaine said to him.

"Weapon?"

"Yeah, so our ancient scrolls-" the guy busted out laughing in my face,

"I'm sorry but s**t sounds like a movie, ancient scrolls-, I feel like I'm trapped in freaking Jumanji." He said, still wiping his eyes.

"I like that movie preferred one over two." Blaine said as I gave him the side eye,

"Oh come on, The Rock and Kevin Hart, are you crazy?" King Everett shouted,

"I'm a fan of the classics, what can I tell you?" Blaine said, giving a jolly laugh,

"THAT WE CAN GET THIS f*****g SHOW ON THE RODE! ARE YOU SHITTING ME?" I snapped. They both looked at me like I was crazy, like the world wasn't ending.

"So we have lots of weapons, man, which one do ya need?" He waved to us to follow him.

"I don't think of this as just any weapon." I explained, he halted to turn to me, "Okay, so what are we looking for?" He asked me.

"I have no idea," I said flatly, at which we both just stood staring at each other awkwardly. "Dominique, do you know what she speaks of?" He asked the woman

"I will have to ask the King." She responded,

"You will do no such thing, he is dying, Dominique, and I am acting King and, in case you haven't f*****g noticed, we are out numbered." He snapped, she grunted and said sharply,

"King Everett, it is not about the size of your opponent, it is the way you maneuver against them. You have a lot to learn about running a kingdom." She frowned.

"Yes, like rule number one, don't take s**t from the help." Blaine said sharply in return, and the two glared at each other.

"Once you have the information, King Noble will you be claiming Wisteria as your own?" She asked him.

"At this point I am still undecided." Blaine answered honestly, "You have us outnumbered, King Noble, but you don't have what you seek and if you wish to obtain it I will need a signed affidavit stating you will not now or ever seek to destroy or take over Wisteria by the IMC today." Dominique ordered

"You realize I outnumber the IMC?" Blaine snorted.

"So I stand before two ignorant kings." Dominique stepped closer to him, "did you really think once IEC knew you had obtained your kingdoms they would not triple their numbers? They can defeat you now, you no longer have the upper hand, so if you want your weapon you will do as I say and, furthermore, don't ever insult me again!"

Blaine was not backing down, "How do we even know you know where the weapon is?"

"Because I was the one that hid it." She waved her hand, "before your planet was reborn."

"Reborn?" I asked her.

"I have told you enough." Dominique turned to walk away.

"Hey lady, you didn't tell me s**t!" Blaine yelled,

"Reborn," she turned to face him, "you know all about that, don't you, Khrisna?" She turned to him and he froze. Hell so did I.

"Bring me the damn affidavit!" Blaine snapped, glaring at her.

"Get the IMC on the line!" King Everett ordered.

I looked at Blaine for answers and he looked back at me, "What?" he snapped.

"Nothing," I said as I watched him tug at his ear. When we were little, Khrisna had a habit of pulling at his ear when something made him uncomfortable. I still did not get it. Blaine really was my brother. I wanted to hug him and stab him both. Goddess, I pray for guidance. I am completely lost and confused.

Zerion

Tabatha's POV

My dad was so pissed at me. He would actually speak to me through the kids. It was stupid and immature, but whatever, I deserved it. He was so disappointed in me. He and Rosa had just come out of the room to eat and, honestly, I couldn't blame them. The accommodations were nice, plus the children adored Patrick and his wife, which meant they were getting a much needed break. So while they were occupied, I went in search for Ophelia. I found her on the second floor of the palace where she was with her nurse. The nurse was whispering to her and I couldn't help but eavesdrop, "You don't deserve him you miserable b***h. And I promise you you will never make it out of this state you're in. I have everything planned. A pillow over your face should do the trick. Do you know how fun it is watching you struggle to breathe?" I cleared my throat and the nurse looked over at me. "Oh hello Ma'am. I'm sorry King Noble did not mention she would have visitors today."

I walked around to stand right in front of Ophelia, her reaction was priceless. I saw her eyes grow and she went stiff. "Do you mind giving us just a moment?" I asked.

"And you are." The nurse asked somewhat suspiciously.

"Excuse me?" I looked at her like she was crazy for questioning, but then I remembered I was not the Queen here and had no right to come at her this way.

"It's just that normally the King or Queen give me very specific instructions concerning her. She can be very ….impressionable on others and-"

"I understand," the Queen, I thought of what I heard earlier, Grace, so Blaine had taken another? "If you feel the need to run it past, whomever that is fine go do it. Ophelia and I go way back; we have a very overdue conversation that needs to be had is all." The nurse looked at me nervously and finally walked out.

"My goodness I thought she would never leave." I said, laughing as I came to stand in front of Ophelia. Her eyes were huge and she was definitely surprised to see me. I bent down so that we were eye level. "Hello b***h you tried to kill my kids." I'm sure the venom was dripping from my voice. She looked so shocked, "I am trying to decide if I should just put you out of your misery or let your nurse continue to torture you." I pulled a chair up and sat in front of her, "So tell me Ophelia, how do you come to be the horrible human waste that you are?" I cleared my throat, "does it happen over time or were you always an insecure miserable b***h?" I said as I grabbed one of her fingers and broke it. "See I saw you from day one. I felt something was off with you but I couldn't quite put my finger on it." I snapped another finger, "Now I think it was just women's intuition telling me the devil advocate was in our mist," she blinked a few times and her face turned red as I snapped another finger. "BJ is a strong boy and he was fine, but you," my eyes feeled with tears, "you almost took my sweet Summer. And I keep thinking what kind of woman," I squeezed her whole hand, feeling the bone crush in my grasp. She started to shake, "would kill a child that used to call her mommy. I grabbed her other hand and her eyes rolled into the back of her head. "You will live today because if I kill you I will be stuck here in this place forever, but I will be okay, knowing most likely your nurse will smother you in your sleep anyway. Karma is a b***h isn't it," I reached up and wrapped my fingers in her hair, healing her just enough to clear her mind but not the wounds I inflicted so she could hear and understand me, "You got what you wanted sweetie, you got the man. How is that working out for you? How does it feel knowing he will never love you because his heart is mine, you will never win because you could never be me. You're worthless, you can't even have a child. Is that why you are so bitter? Because he can look at me and get me pregnant. But your crusty, dusty womb can't seem to hold s**t!," I hissed slowly, "bye Ophelia, oh by the way, our daughter looks just like him too, and she is alive and well, so you accomplished nothing. I touched her forehead just in spite, showing her how Blaine had taken me on the hospital bed. I zoomed in on his manhood entering me, "My my my he was so hard, does he get that hard for you? I mean when he is not picturing me, of course? Enough of that, now I have a mate and, well, l almost had the urge to feel that again, good thing I love my mate." I dropped my hand and turned to go as the nurse came back in. She looked concerned, "Ah honey you don't have to pretend I know you hate the b***h too. No worries, your secret is safe with me." She didn't respond, she just looked at me all crazy. I left and now I wanted to meet this Grace chick. Not hard. I found her in the kitchen sitting on the counter with a bucket. Yes, a bucket of butter pecan ice cream. When I walked in she just stared at me as I watched her stuff her face. "So your Grace?" I asked as I leaned against the counter.

"And your Tabatha," she said, licking her lips.

"Yeah I'm Blai-"

"I know who you are, we all know who you are." She said as she reached behind her, pulling out a bag of vanilla Oreos.

"Oh he didn't tell me about you." I pointed out

"When would he have the chance?" She asked me, "I get it," she said. She tore open the bag of Oreos and dumped a heep of them into the bucket and started crunching them up with her spoon.

"Get what?" I asked, hoping I didn't regret it.

"Get you or his unhealthy obsession with you. You're sexy enough." She said, digging in.

"Um thanks, so you are married?" I asked. It was a stupid question, I know, but I wanted details.

"Yes." She said simply and continued eating.

"Oh how long," I asked.

She looked at me and then said, "He didn't tell you about me, what about Brooke?"

"Brooke?" Who the hell was Brooke?

"Oh, Brooke died because of that wicked b***h Ophelia. She hates that he loved us. I miss her so much I feel like I lost my sister." She said sadly as she stabbed at the Oreos with her spoon.

"Brooke was, I'm sorry who exactly?" I asked.

"The other Queen, Blaine, had three wives and now there is just me and him and the wicked bitch." She spat out, "I am going to ask him to take another wife." Grace said and I was dumbfounded.

"Oooh" was all I could think to say.

"I miss her touch. I didn't know that about myself until I married the King. I like a woman's touch as much as I like his, it felt like we were one. Now, since he is always depressed, I especially miss Brooke. Sucks feeling that way." I just looked at her,

"I wouldn't know wolves are different. We don't really share so well."

"Oh, it's not uncommon for our kind to have more than one wife. Blaine certainly knew how to please us both." She was looking me up and down and then I realized she was looking and I felt awkward. "So um you said there was another wife, what happened?" Her face dropped and I felt bad for asking, "I'm sorry I shouldn't have pried." She looked at me sadly and said. "Ophelia tried to poison Blaine and Brooke drank from his bottle, he still lives, she perished. You should have met her. She was so sweet and the crazy part is she was totally in love with Ophelia." Now that was weird to hear. I thought, reaching my hand out, she picked the bucket up and held it to her chest. I shook my head, "damn I can't have one cookie?"

"Oh sure but the ice cream is all mine." She handed me what was left of the bag, "I hate when he leaves. It scares me. If something happens to him I'd have to rule this place alone. That terrifies me. He does all this for his son. He wants something to give him when he comes of age."

I bit into an Oreo. Amazingly, I found the new wife easy to talk to. Maybe it was because she was lonely and so was I. Richard was so pissed off these days he didn't talk to me much. We ended up sitting in the kitchen talking for hours. She eventually even shared her ice cream. She told me about her pregnancy and how afraid she was of giving birth and being a mom. I told her everything I knew about everything to make her feel better. My experience with Ophelia and Breanna sucked, but I liked Grace and I could tell she loved Blaine. I had no idea he was so depressed. I felt bad. I told her I felt like he was a good person and that if Ophelia had not come along he would not have gone against Catori in the first place. She agreed. We both thought Ophelia was an evil wicked b***h. "I'm going to kill her," was the last thing Grace said to me.

"You had better be careful that woman is evil." I said to her.

"So help me Tabatha, help me do it right. Help me kill Ophelia."
