I got up and made my way to the shower to wash myself off. Zach was sitting on my bed when I got out. I was drying myself off and looked at him sideways. “What?”
“I just got word and you’re not going to like it.” He rubbed his chin and face. “She’s been kidnapped. Her bodyguard is barely alive. The Alpha and Luna are dead. Their Beta betrayed them all and is gone with the wind. It just happened and the only reason I know about it so fast is because her parents called while you were in the shower. They know because the Gamma from the pack in Maine called the Alpha of the Wolf Creek who in turn called them. You know what I mean.” I felt like I had just been sucker-punched. I wasn’t at a total loss because I could mind link with her now. She wasn’t hurt or I’d feel it from her or the baby. This was just a serious inconvenience of prolonging my time with my Queen. Whoever did this has signed their death warrant. I stood there deep in thought when she reached out to me.
“Clouse, my love. Are you there and can you hear me?”
“Yes. I can. Please, my Queen, tell me where you are. I just heard you have been kidnapped. Are you and the baby okay?”
“My love I can’t move my legs or my feet. I feel dizzy. There isn’t anything over my mouth. I just remember being with you and then I was talking to my wolf about you. By the way, we really enjoyed that and we should do that again sometime. My wolf and I have never experienced it.”
“My life, you are getting off-topic and we can do that anytime you want to. Please. What do you see? What do you smell?”
“Well, I don’t remember waking up and when I did I was in what seemed like the back of an SUV. It’s extremely cold where ever I am. I am in a single room with a lit candle and it is dark outside. I can see the stars. I have a lot of blankets around me and pillows.”
“Okay, are you hurt?”
“No. I’m okay and I am feeling my tummy and the baby is okay too.”
“Okay, you said you can see the stars. Do you recognize any constellations and can you locate the North Star?
“No. I do see Venus clearly. It’s really bright. I can also see the aurora borealis.”
“Okay, I know where you are. I am coming to get you. Please sit tight and if you are moved let me know immediately of any information. It won’t be long.”
“Okay. Be careful.”
“She is in Nova Scotia.” I looked at Zach. He nodded and was on the phone calling in the jet. I picked up my phone and called her parents. We both got off of the phone and agreed simultaneously to call the council. No one would answer my call which I found perplexing. When we arrived at the airport an hour later we were met with four black Suburbans, guards, and one of the High Lord from the area. He bowed to me. We returned the gesture.
“Hector. We’re in somewhat of a dinner rush. How can we help you?” Zach asked impatiently. Hector the High Lord to the North glared back at Zach.
“I’m here to speak with your majesty regarding the pregnant Queen. She is staying with us for the time being and will be under our care until the baby is born. I’m sorry your highness. This was not our decision. This was demanded of us or thousands of us were to be slaughtered by the hands of the council. We do not know the importance of the two, but we do know that keeping them from you, your highness will also lead to our damnation. She is already being moved from Canada. Where is unknown. What I do know is that your hybrid baby is part of a dark prophecy. I hope you find her and your child before anything happens. I am truly sorry.” I watched this scoundrel walk away, get in his car and leave. I went over my teeth with my tongue and clicked my tongue. I put my hands on my hips and exhaled. I was boiling. Zach took a few steps away from me.
“If a war is what they want. Then a war is what they’ll get.” I looked at Zach. I will speak with my Queen after we get into the air. Make sure the jet is full. We might be heading to my chateau in France. I don’t think they are going to keep her here in North America. I think they are going to brave the old magic and paranormal beings.
“We don’t know who is our ally right now Clouse. If the council called on this to happen then they are all traitors and a new council is needed. That will undoubtedly create more enemies we will either have to kill or learn to live with depending on their level of threat to your Queen and unborn child. Try to connect with her while we are on the plane. In the meantime, I’ll get ahold of Constantine and have him put out the word.” Zach sighed and shook his head. He started walking toward the jet. “It’s one thing after another Clouse! And the fun has just begun! Let’s roll!” He laughed and signaled for the pilots that we were boarding to take off.
I followed suit, sat down in one of the chairs. “I’ll be communicating with her. If we land before I’m done or if something happens just slap the s**t out of me to pull me out.” I gave Zach a crooked smile. “Don’t enjoy it too much or I’ll have to kick your ass later.”
“Sounds fun, my King.” Zach tipped his hat down and decided to flirt with the male flight attendant. Zach loved all things and just loved life. His s*x drive was also insatiable. The male attendant flashed him a smile back and both men sat down and waited for the plane to take off so they could join the mile-high club.
“My Queen. Persephone. Can you hear me, my love?”
“Clouse? My King? Oh my God please help us! We are being moved and I don’t know where. I can’t see because there is a bag over my head! I’m being carried by someone or something large.”
“Persephone. My Goddess. Please remain calm. I just got word and we are flying right now to Nova Scotia where you were. A lot of things are changing, but one thing remains the same. I am coming for you and I won’t stop until I find you my love. Please continue to reach out to me. I need to know that you and the baby are okay. I need you to know that because we are both royals there is no distance that can keep you from talking to me."
“Okay. Are you sure? What if I can’t? I’m not normally like this, but I’m scared for the baby and me.”
“Relax for me. I need you to trust me.”
"Okay."
“Good girl. Now, if I don’t hear you in a minute or two then I will re-connect with you. I am still here with you. Now and forever my Queen. I love you.”
“Oh Clouse, I hardly know you, but I love you too. I know that more than I’ve ever known anything in my life.”
I cut the mind link between us and waited for her to give me an update. I was at a standstill until she let me know anything else. I was calm though, but only because I heard from her. While I waited and came back from mind linking Persephone I discovered that Zach made no moves to be discreet in f*****g the flight attendant in front of me. I sat there amused. He’s never done this before. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Zach! You have no f*****g shame! I swear!” I shook my head and ran my hand down my face. “You couldn’t have f****d him on the bed? Or in the bathroom?”
“Uh … Well … Mmmm … f**k … I … didn’t … GOD DAMN! Want to … soil … the … bed … for … you … and our Queen … I’m about to come!” The flight attendant was mewling and moaning clearly enjoying the thorough f*****g my friend was giving him. Both men grunted and came together. I just chuckled and shook my head. “I couldn’t help myself or wait. Did you find anything out? Where is she?” He said in between heavy breathing. He slid his c**k out of the flight attendant's rear exit and started using a washcloth that was brought while I was in a trance talking to my Queen in order to clean himself off and then the flight attendant.
“I don’t know. She scared and panicked. She’s got a bag over her head and doesn’t know what is happening. I asked her to update me and if I don’t …”
“My love? Can you hear me?”
“Yes! Baby, I can hear you! Are you and the baby okay? Are you safe?”
“Yes. We’ve stopped moving. I can hear water splashing around and it smells like ocean air. Perhaps we’re on a boat?”
“f**k! If you are do not make an escape attempt unless your life is being threatened. Please. Promise me you will not get into the ocean unless absolutely necessary.”
“Um, okay. I promise.”
“You’re in the Atlantic and there are other triangles besides the Bermuda that are there. Ghost ships could appear or even sea monsters. Mermaids are definitely not far, but won’t approach unless lost at sea or heading to an island of treasure that they specifically guard. If you touch the water they will be alerted immediately and then you will be in peril. I don’t say this to scare you. I am telling you the absolute truth. Please be vigilant. I will see about coming to you by boat as well as find out who has left the port recently. If you land somewhere then reach out to me to let me know. I’ll be able to know exactly where you are.”
“Okay. Geez! I don’t know what to be more scared of now, the kidnappers or the ocean.”
“I’d be scared of the ocean because it can change at any moment. Keep in touch with me and I’ll do the same.”
“Clouse …”
“Yes, my Queen?”
“Is … it …. Ummmm … inappropriate to say that I really want to have s*x with you again like in my dream?”
“For all sakes and purposes, no it is not. Are we going to? I’d love nothing more, but if I did then whoever has kidnapped you especially if werewolves are involved can smell your arousal and therefore know you have a direct link to me. It could cause unnecessary trouble we don’t really need right now. I’m surprised they haven’t seen your marks yet or perhaps they have, but don’t realize we are already bonded together.”
“Okay. When this is all done I just want you to know how badly I really want you again. Even my wolf wants you just as bad.”
“My muse I have to go now. I can’t mess myself like last time and we will be landing shortly.”
“Okay. I’ll contain myself for now.”
She disconnected from me and I came back with Zach looking at me with a s**t-eating grin on his face. “She was talking dirty to you I can see.” He quirked up an eyebrow. “We really need to find her so you can stop playing in her head and make love to her again for reals.”
I laughed. “She wants me to have s*x with her wolf too.”
“Lucky son of a b***h!” Zach threw some almonds at me.
“Oh, come on! It’s bad enough I had to see you f*****g the life out of our flight attendant much less throwing nuts at me too!” I threw them back at him and he laughed hard.
“It was hot! You’ve never mind linked anyone before and I wanted to f**k in front of you.” Zach shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t really know why it appealed to me. I guess I thought I’d never get the opportunity to do it again. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing, Clouse. My bad if it made you feel uncomfortable. It won’t happen again. I mean it will happen again, but just not in front of you.” He gave me a crooked smile and readjusted himself in his seat.
“You’re such a man w***e, you know that right?” I smiled back at Zach and he just tossed some nuts in his mouth and chewed. “I’m just glad you and the flight attendant didn’t f**k with me while communicating with my Queen or teabag me.”
“Who’s to say we didn’t?” Zach flashed me his pearly whites with his fangs. The flight attendant came in at that moment. Zach spanked his ass and he yelped. The flight attendant swatted him away.
“We will be landing in a few moments. Oh, and your majesty? I highly value my life and would not ever dream of putting my balls on your face without your consent.” He humphed, turned, and walked out to clean up an area of the jet. I chuckled.
“Zach, what will happen if you ever meet ‘the one’ and your past catches up with you in the process?” I looked at him curiously. Zach sat there thinking about it and crossed his legs.
“Well, I’d definitely tell her the truth and let her decide if she really wants to be with me or not. I’d definitely be crushed if she didn’t want me. If it is a guy then the same would apply. One can only hope I get paired up with a hermaphrodite so I can have the best of both worlds.” Zach winked at me and laughed.
“You’re such a perv! How the hell did we ever become great friends?” I looked at him lovingly because despite his man w***e ways he’s always has been there for me no matter what.
“What? I can’t help it! I’m addicted to s*x! It helps me feel alive still when I’ve been dead for so long. Not to mention I’m packing a nice-sized d**k that will adjust to my partner so they get maximum pleasure. I’m my own built-in toy. I can go on for as long as they want me to because I can tap into their senses of what they want. I can project images of what they want to them in order to bring them to a higher climax thanks to your all-knowing teachings and that is why I have so many favors to call in. Plus, you know you love hearing my stories.” He smirked and threw more nuts my way. We laughed and it was minutes later we landed in Nova Scotia. Now back to finding my Queen, find who physically took her, and rip them limb from limb.
