Ted ran in. He looked at Lexi before telling me, “She’ll be fine. just get her in bed.” I disagreed, “This is not fine.” Ted shrugged, “Full blooded fairies suck?” I snorted, “True.” I got Lexi in bed. I answered emails from my phone and made sure she was ok. I got into bed with her and closed my eyes.

When we woke up, she didn’t want to talk about it until our getaway. I agreed. It was driving me crazy because I wanted to know, but Lexi needed some time. We’d spent the night at her new apartment that I hated a few times. Neither of us were relaxed afterwards. It was not a good night's rest.

Matt despised the days we’d stayed there. He told me we needed to send a gift for Luna Emmaline’s birthday. On the day of said party Lexi disappeared for a bit. I knew she must have shown up there. They were friends. Ted told me she had a quick mission to complete. I wondered why she hadn’t mentioned it. Ted told me it came up after she’d left.

About a week after Luna Emmaline’s birthday, I took Lexi on a date. We were out at my restaurant that I'd closed down. We were halfway through dinner when my phone rang. I sighed and answered, “Matt, my link is blocked for a reason. I wanted to take Lexi out on a date before our getaway. We are leaving in a few days, and I’m going to be busy until then. I specifically told you not to bother me.”

Matt told me, “Alpha Lucas’ mate and his sister, Beta Dylan’s mate, have been kidnapped.” I yelled, “FUCK! Alright, where are we going?” Matt answered, “They are heading to California, I think. Beta Caleb wasn’t sure on the details yet. We need to send men to our allies to protect their borders.”

I agreed, “Done. Cameron will help as well….” I trailed off when Lexi’s phone made a horrible sound. She paled and pulled it out. She closed her eyes. She stood, “Chase, I have to go. I don’t know when I’ll be back.” I grabbed her hand, “What’s happening? Is that about Luna Emmaline?”

Lexi smiled, “How about I leave my phone here while I go to the restroom because I can’t answer that.” Lexi set her phone done and zipped away. I could just see there was a dot blinking in California.

I told my Beta, “Lexi has been called to California.” Matt pointed out, “You do realize we will know her moniker for sure then if that’s where Alpha Eric is going. Beta Dylan will have a detailed report out as soon as he gets back.” I did know that.

Lexi flashed back in the room. She kissed me. She said, “I’ll try to keep you updated. I don’t know when I’ll be back.” I assured her, “The plane won’t leave without you.” Lexi smiled, “I love you, Chase.” She took off.

I walked outside and got in my car feeling hollow. Everything hurt. I wouldn’t know if she was ok. I called Matt, “Tell Alpha Eric I’ll go with him.” Matt replied, “They are in Nashville.” I groaned, “I forgot they had that meeting.” Matt said, “We sent warriors out to Red Run, they were attacked. Cameron is waiting here.” I sighed.

Ted flashed out to my car, “She got a call, didn’t she? DAMN IT!” He ran back into the house before I’d even replied. I followed him in. He was already eating a tub of ice cream. Ted held out a spoon, “Do you want to stress eat with me? I knew she got a call. My mom said that someone called the Fairy liaison. I just KNEW it was Lexi.”

I shrugged, “It would appear she’s helping our allies out.” Ted frowned, “Allies….? She... oh god... she’s gone after Luna Emmaline? She’s going where that psycho warlock is?! I’ve heard about him, he's a maniac! I do not have enough ice cream!” He flashed off to the kitchen.

I stalked into my office. I yelled, “Psycho WARLOCK?!” Matt winced, “David Forrester.” I closed my eyes. I told my Gamma, “Derrick, get Sally over here. I want her and Ted here in the same place in case Lexi contacts one of us first.” Derrick nodded.

My dad said, “She’ll be alright, and she will come back.” I didn’t reply, Instead I said, “Matt, let’s get to work.” I barely slept, and I couldn’t eat. None of us had heard from Lexi. I asked, “Ted, have you heard from Heath?” Ted nodded, “He said everything is fine.”

Matt’s phone rang. He winced and walked away. He walked outside then came back. “Chase, we need to talk in your office.” Ted gasped, “Oh god! Is she hurt? She’s hurt, isn’t she? GOD, I HATE WARLOCKS! Let’s just agree with Haley. They have to go!” Matt assured him, “No, there were no injuries on our side. Luna Emmaline has not been recovered yet though.” Ted sighed in relief.

I walked into my office with Derrick behind me. Matt linked us both, “One of you shut the door.” Derrick closed the door. I asked, “Is she hurt?” Matt said, “No, and the group is on their way to Russia.” My eyes widened. I yelled, “RUSSIA? Lexi went to Russia?!” Matt nodded, “In a manner of speaking. I know what King Arthur and Robert were talking about when they were here; about keeping Haley on our side.”

I snarled, “How is that relevant?” Matt explained, “Through a very long explanation Luna Emmaline was holoported to Russia. Alpha Eric’s pups can get to her. Haley was very upset and called her Fairy King brother to send her to them.” I questioned, “She couldn't pop because?” Matt replied, “Iron based protection is guarding Emmaline.” Of course, it was.

Matt continued, “Apparently the Holloran family is some very powerful prophecy family the fairies have been waiting for. It includes all of them, but King Aiden and Haley are the keys. Luna Emmaline and Bexley are important too. Bexley was made royal by King Aiden.”

I agreed, “Ok, so we keep her as a friend which we already were going to do. Do we care about some fairy prophecy?” Matt nodded, “Since people will come for Haley and Luna Emmaline, and they are our allies Luna’s. We do.” I sighed, “And Lexi is friends with both of them.”

Matt grinned, “Which leads me to the Hood member that’s on the team trying to rescue Luna Emmaline.” I stiffened, “You know who she is?” Matt nodded, “I do.” He said nothing. I looked at Derrick then back to Matt.

I yelled, “Who is she?” Matt took a deep breath, “She’s the Black Arrow, Chase. You’ve been dreaming about your own damn mate and feeling guilty about it.” Derrick and Matt burst into laughter as I sat down in the chair trying to absorb that information.

More Questions

Lexi turned to Haley. I smiled at her, “Ok what are you doing to my apartment today?” Haley grinned, “Setting up fun fairy hijinks traps, but not too many. The goal is for them to be somewhat successful.” She walked into the kitchen and started speaking Fealish. She laughed when she was done. The room glowed yellow for a moment.

Kincade and Carry walked into the apartment as Haley turned to me. I asked, “What’s going to happen to them if they go into the kitchen?” Haley smiled, “They will get honey dropped on their head then flour will fly at them. It will get stuck anywhere the honey is, which will be from head to toe.”

I laughed, “That’s so you. Why not feathers?” Haley questioned, “Why would there be feathers in a kitchen? Flour makes more damn sense.” She skipped into the living room. Kincade and Kevin flew from the area. Haley frowned, “I wouldn’t do anything to you two.”

Kincade responded, “I appreciate that.” Haley shrugged, “Blade says it’s not fair to mess with the protection detail.” Kevin laughed, “That’s true.” Haley smiled, “It’s not as fun though.” Blade spoke, “Is fun. Job hard enough.”

Haley frowned, “Hey! I’m a fucking delight to guard. You are never bored, admit it!” Serion, Blade’s mate, stepped forward I had no idea when he showed up. Serion said, “He’s never bored, Princess.” Haley squealed and flung herself at Serion. He laughed and hugged her.

I greeted, “Hello, Serion.” Serion smiled, “Lexi Scott, it has been too long.” Blade crossed the room. “Is surprise.” Serion laughed and spoke to him in Latin. Haley let go of Serion and Blade yanked him into a kiss.

I guessed, “So, Serion surprised Blade?” Haley nodded, “Yes. Apparently, it’s the anniversary of when they first laid eyes on each other. How fucking cute is that?” I agreed, “It is pretty cute.” Haley told me, “I’m just waiting for someone to suggest Serion join my protection detail.”

I raised my eyebrows, “You think that’s going to happen?” Haley laughed, “Of course it is. Blade is with me all the time now. It’s the most logical thing for them to do so they can be together.” I asked, “Why don’t you suggest it?” Haley raised her eyebrows, “Are you under the impression people listen to me? They do not.”
