CHAPTER 40
Everything was set Miss Maggie was cooking a special dinner for the Lycan King, and the pups were all asleep. Taylor and Marie watching them. Nella, Carmon, and I put on fancy dresses and did up our hair and I added a touch of makeup. I hoped I would be presentable enough to greet another king.
Quin and Lucas were dressed in suits. We waited impatiently for them to arrive. I started to pace. What if something happened. Barton excused himself saying there was a matter he had to attend to. And to give his apologies to the King. I was very confused as to why all of a sudden he had to leave. Quin now had a worried look on his face as did Lucas. I was just about to ask Quin what was wrong when the fog rolled in, and the limo appeared from the same way as the pack. I thought it odd until Alpha Colt and Robert got out as well. They both bowed to the Lycan King and Kissed each of us girls on the cheek. Then he put his hand on Quin's shoulder. Quin nodded and both Alpha Colt and Robert ran into the castle. I did not have time to say anything Grandmother was introducing us to the Lycan King. He did in fact bring an entourage with him. Please just call me Sebastian all of you we need not be so formal. This is my Beta Tanner. Grandmother herded us into the castle.
"I have your room ready," I told him.
"Perfect, how about we get freshened up then we will join you all for coffee and tea.
I showed them their rooms and Sebastian pulled me aside.
"You look beautiful Sasha, thank you for being so proper but I will be here a while so dress as you normally do."
"Thank you!" That was all I could think to say.
I left him and went looking for Quin. I found him talking with Lucas in the hall.
"Quin, what the hell is going on, Barton disappears, and Alpha Colt and Robert are here."
"Quin grabs me into his arms and pulls me close. Everything is ok Sasha, you have nothing to worry about." I struggle to get out of his embrace he knows better than to hide things from me. I can feel Bell coming forward she is growing and sniffing, I start to do the same, and my hands begin to glow.
"Sasha, stop," Quin says to me.
"No Bell grows". At him.
"Lucas find Grandmother, I will try and control her."
"Get out of my way Quin, or you will get hurt, "Bella, stop!" Quin yells. But I'm not listening.
We smell the blood, we smell rouge my eyes are dark, my claws are out. The ribbons of gold and mist start to surround my body.
"Bell, Sasha stop. Please, this is not helping."
I told you to move Quin, or you will get hurt, now move. We scream at him.
Suddenly two large furry arms wrap around me, I can not move, and I struggle to get free. Quin has a relief written all over his face. I hear a voice say.
"Queen Sasha, you need to relax and calm down, only then will I let you go." Bell sniffs the air, and Quin comes closer rubbing my hand to soothe us. Slowly Bell retreats into me. My hands stop glowing and the mist dissipates. My energy is drained. Whoever is holding me releases me to Quin and goes up the stairs, I did not see who it was. Quin walks me to our room and lays down with me on the bed. You need to sleep now, Sasha.
"Quin, what did I do?"
"We will talk later, you need to rest I will lay here with you, Spade is soothing Bell."
I sit up frantically "the pups"
"The pups are fine; nothing has happened to them" After a few minutes Quin gets me to lay back down. I cuddle close to him.
"Quin, who....." I never finished; I passed out.
QUIN'S POV
There was a knock at our suite door. I slipped out of the bedroom to answer it leaving the door open a little so I could hear Sasha.
"Sebastian, please come in," I told him.
"How is she?" He asked.
"Sleeping, I have never seen her get like that before. She had no control."
"She is very strong it was all my Lycan could do to hold her"
"I have to find out how the guards are, but I told her I would stay with her."
"They will heal, but it taught them a lesson not to try and rush her."
"Sebastian, I don't even think she knows she hurt anyone. That is scary to even think about"
"Quin, you have to remember she has pups now; Sasha and her wolf will do everything and anything to protect them."
"Have they got any answers from the rouges that got through security"
"No, not that I have heard of, but they are still down in the dungeon dealing with it."
Sasha came to the bedroom door.
"Oh, I'm sorry," she went to go back in.
"Sasha, come let me look at you, I want to make sure my Lycan did not hurt you."
"That was you?" Sasha questioned as she came out."
"Yes, Quin check to see that her ribs are not sore." Sebastian turned his back, and I checked Sasha's ribs they had bruises on them from her struggling."
"They are bruised but that will heal," I told him.
"Forgive me, Sasha it was all my Lycan could do to hold you."
"I don't know what happened, I don't remember anything other than someone holding me and then Quin bringing me here."
"Are, you up to having coffee in the parlor," Sebastian asked. I laughed
"Sasha never says no to coffee" Sasha playfully hit me.
"We, will meet you in the parlor in ten minutes I want to peek in on the pups," Sasha told him.
"See you both downstairs then"
Sebastian turned and left giving us a bow on his way out.
Sasha changed her clothes and told me to change into something more comfortable.
Then we went and checked on the pups before heading to the parlor.
SASHA'S POV
When Quin and I entered the sitting room, there was a man I had never seen before talking with Barton. My back went up. Bell growled.
"Sasha, calm yourself," Quin said.
"Who is this man? Why is he here?" I asked.
"This is Alpha Rollin he has traveled a long way for our help." Alpha Rollin heard his name and turned to see Quin and me. He came over and bowed.
"My Queen, congratulations on the arrival of your pups. I hope you are doing well."
"Thank you, and yes, I'm recovering well." I said. Trying not to sound aggressive as I felt .
"Sasha, would you honor me and come and sit and chat with me?" Sebastian the Lycan King asked. I looked at Quin, who smiled and nodded.
He walked me over to a large, overstuffed chair and helped me to sit.
