“Do you know why I wanted to talk to you?” her question has me shaking my head in response. “Why haven’t you claimed my daughter?” her question has my head snaping around to face her. “Don’t be surprised, I have known that you two are mates from the moment you entered our home.”
“I had no idea,” I reply, not sure what the Queen is leading to.
“I am still waiting for a reply,” she says raising a brow in question.
“Hope is still young, I wasn’t sure that is what you wanted for her,” the Queen shakes her head in amusement.
“What I want for my daughter is for her to be happy, and I know that you will make her happy. Not just that, but I need you to keep her safe in this time of unrest.”
“I will protect her with my life your majesty,” I promise.
“I know you will Trek, my girls are the most important part of my life, but they are also our salvation.” Her statement has me frowning in question, “my girls are more powerful than anyone knows, we need them to have time to grow stronger.” I tense when the Queen suddenly takes my hand in hers, a smile on her face.
“We will be very lucky to have you in our family.” Her statement has a knot growing in my stomach, when I woke up this morning, I had no idea that I would be getting the blessing of my mates mother, had no idea that after all this time I was going to get her blessing and could finally take my woman as my mate.
“Thank you, your majesty,” I say lowering my head.
We are on the road for about an hour when we finally turn into the driveway to the house where we are now residing, until the threat is found and we can all return to Eternity Fae. The Werewolves don’t all live in Eternity Fae, a few have found their place here with the humans. I have come into this realm a few times to check on what they are up to, now I have to live here until we find the evil that is trying to destroy all of us.
When the vehicles stop, I am about to open the door when Love comes charging out of the house, rushing towards the vehicle. “Something has happened,” the Queen says in a concerned voice.
My heart starts to beat in concern, has something happened to Hope? Before I can think better, I am rushing out of the vehicle to stop Love and ask her what has her in such a fluster. I am about to grab her upper arms to stop her when I hear a growl coming from behind me. Grunting in irritation at Beast’s warning I hold my arms out to stop her.
Love is the only one that doesn’t have a guard. Well, that is not true as she has Beast and an appropriate name at that. I have never seen his breed before as Beast is as tall as me when he stands normally on all fours. “Love, what’s wrong?” the Queen her mother asks, a concerned look on her face as she takes her daughter in her arms.
“Dad is in a trance,” her words have the Queen visibly tensing, it is well known that the Queen and King married for love and continue deeply in love.
“He was getting better, what happened?” The Queen asks as she starts making her way inside the house. I follow closely wanting to make sure that Hope is fine.
“It’s the stone, but we can’t get close to it,” Love explains as she hurries after her mother.
“What stone Love?” I ask when it doesn’t seem like the Queen is going to enquire.
“That huge Onix that is sitting on one of the shelves, there is very dark energy emanating from it.” At her explanation the Queen stops and turns to face Love.
“You mean the Onix that was given to us by Toron?” her question has Love nodding in reply. Toron is a warlock; he was the head of the witches and warlocks. I tense when I think of Toron and the bad blood between the witches and the werewolves.
“I thought Toron was no longer the head of the Covenant?” my question has the Queens eyes turning to me as she shakes her head.
“He isn’t, Jinx took over the reins.” The Queen explains, “that Semi Precious stone was given to us many years ago as protection.” With that she turns continuing on her way towards the room. We hurry up the staircase until we are entering the room where we see the King sitting up in bed staring into space with a blank look on his face.
“Darling” the Queen calls as she hurries towards where he is, taking his hand in hers. “Oh, my Darling, what has been done to you?” she cry’s.
I take in a breath as I see Hope approaching from where she was standing by the window. Our eyes meet, which has my very core relaxing in peace when I see that no harm has come to her. Looking away from her eyes I cast my gaze around the room until I see a mound that is covered by a pillow. “Is that the Onix?” I ask as I point at where the covered mound is, I take a step towards it, suddenly stopped when Hope hurriedly comes to stand between me and the stone.
“Stop” she cries placing her hand on my chest, “that stone is dangerous, the dark energy emanating from it is evil and wedon’t know what could happen if anyone touches it.” I raise my hand placing it over hers on my chest.
“Well, I guess the only way we will know is if I go and touch it.” I say trying to step around Hope which turns out to be more difficult than I thought as she stubbornly stops my advance.
“Enough, Hope is right” the Queen orders, “no one touch the Onix until we know what it does.”
“Stubborn minx,” I mutter as I take a step back frowning at Hope’s smiling face.
“Did you forget?” She asks with a raised brow. Instead of answering I glare at her, warning her to behave.
“Stand back,” the Queen orders as she raises her hands which has the pillow falling away from the semi-precious stone. The stone looks harmless when I gaze upon it, but if Love, Hope and Dream say that the stone has evil energy, that is enough to make me believe in what they say, and I will do everything in my power to keep everyone that is under my protection safe.
“Hope, Love send good energy into the stone while I hold back its evil,” the Queen orders, “Dream come and stand next to me and help me hold back its evil.” I stand behind Hope keeping a close eye on her as she raises her hands facing them towards the Onix.
