Chapter 61

Asher's POV

My life had been long and the things I'd seen and experienced vast, but nothing could have prepared me for the past 48hr within the Northman Nest. It all started when my brother and I asked to be assigned a task, the vampire Godric directed us to the werewolf Dartagnan. He put us with the Saxon vampires on patrol, we had moved a lot in the last 100 years and in that time been a part of 6 nests but never once had I seen Wolves commanding Vampires and Vampires befriending Fae and Angles. Hell I'd actually not even known of the existence of some on the creatures that lived within these walls, we stayed quiet and listened. The Wraths Mara and Lix and 2 wolves named Mika and Jasper joined the Saxon as we walked the perimeter, the comfortable nature of their interaction was remarkable. The wolf Mika asked Saxon Sigbert if he'd seen what was left of the human the Sins had apparently played with, that was meet with laughter and jealousy that they didn't get to join in.

"I'm not shitting you, the body came out in four different bags." Laughed Jasper

"Bastian is vibrating, apparently he got to have some fun with the human while the Sin watched, kinky shit." Snickered Mika.

"Aurora says we hunt bad humans with Bastian soon and get to play." Said Wybert.

"You excited man?" asked Jasper nudging the Saxon

Wybert growled with a devilish smile on his face as he extended his fangs to the wolf, there was no animosity, no fear, just family and friends enjoying each other's company. The wolves braced forearms with the Saxons and Wraths before excusing themselves, I watched them walk off as the Angel Celine dropped from the sky next to the Wraths. Everyone seemed so finely Intune with each other, almost as if they were one entity. The Angel gave each Wrath a quick embrace before Armie and I were asked to return to the main house, we did as asked happy to be of service. As we rounded the southern corner I froze mid stride.

Gerard, Kellan and Bastian stood behind a wall of water leaning into it, across the drive Stark, Preston and the 3 male Angels that had only returned that night hit the wall of water with a blinding white light. Grunts could be heard from behind the wall as the Angels, which I'd learned where Matthew, Ralph and Paul and The Fae Preston stepped forward, it seemed as if the fairy was increasing the strength of the Angels lumen. Armie nudged my shoulder as Aurora and Yannick came into view, one behind each battling group or at least we thought it was them. Gone was their human façades, both held large burning wings of fire and their skin was glowing with an enteral light, Yannick seemed larger and more predatory as he watched Aurora. The battle in front of us seemed too turned from one team to the other, as a feral growl emanated from Kellan and his Demon pushed forward and they pushed the water wall two stride towards the Angels. Hisses and growls rained down as vampires and wolves moved behind their respective teams. The air started to whip around us as the shadows at Aurora feet clawed at the ground as if awaiting her command. I became extremely uneasy, my skin started to prickle as I rested my hand on the butt of my gun.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you." Said the Viking appearing with his Mate

"How are you going to stop team?" asked Armie as the death dealers levitated into the sky. It was unnatural, their wings lay at their backs as they floated higher and higher.

"Why would we want to stop them?" said Pam joining us.

The next 20 seconds raced forward like dream, the demon let out a sonic doom as the water wall fell, pushing Stark and the Angels back a stride. The fairy Preston shifted into a massive Polar bear ready to charge, how a fucking fairy was able to shift was beyond us, but there it was. The Merman Gerard and Bastian extended their fangs, rolling their shoulders apparently excited at the prospect of fighting with the Polar Bear. Michael and Swan, the Angels we knew joined in from the sidelines extended their wings, calling their spears as they braced for impact. The ground shook and split as the Gate keepers stepped forward, the night sky lit up as if the sun was shining down, the cause two burning orbs of fire growing around Yannick and Aurora. With each second that past they seemed to release more and more of their true natures. The Fae, Wolves and Panthers vibrated with anticipation, yelling and cheering to their nest mates.

"Why" I asked unable to comprehend what I was seeing, where they going to attack each other, why the excitement? What where we witnessing?

"Quiet or you'll miss it." Said Sookie as she stepped up behind me and turned my head towards a small group just at the edge of the mayhem.

There next to Godric was the Vikings twin sons and the youngest son of Godric, Boston. The powerful vampire looked down at his son as the young child seemed transfixed on each and every member of the powerful nest as they flexed their powers. My breath caught as the shadows at the child's feet started to swirl and dance as they'd done to Aurora, Godric's gaze shot up into the sky and there where Yannick and Aurora. The death dealers had changed into something else, they were no longer just death dealer, but true gods and they saw nothing but Boston. Armie and I were not the only ones to notice the connection, the four royal guards of Kaius studied the child, memorising everything to report back. Everything seemed to slow as Yannick and Aurora floated towards each other, the shadows at Boston's feet grew as he stepped forward, answering the call of the gods, Boston was staring up into the sky calling to them as much as they called to him. The nest mates, which only moments ago battled in front of us, now stood quite watching the trio, The Fae Preston still in the form of a Polar Bear, huffed and pawed at the ground, watching Boston.

"I thought I had him for a moment." said the demon Kellan, catching me of guard.

"So did I, but look at him. He's magnificent." Said Gerard giving the Viking a nod, as they moved towards us.

The twins started to move Godric back from the child as the shadows started to form a staircase at his feet, it was miraculous. On his fourth or fifth step the shadows faltered and the child stumbled, I don't know what came over me but I went to run to his aid. A firm hand gripped my arm and I turned to see my captor, looking deep into my eyes was the vampire Bastian.

"He is safe, I assure you friend."

I turned back to see the Angel Stark move alongside Boston, the two smiled to each other and yet again I was shown this nest was so much more. Right before my eye I watched the Angel turn into something beyond ethereal, as the seconds ticked by he became more and more like the two death dealers floating high in the sky above us. Armie took my hand and I knew he was thinking the same as myself, this family had to be protected, anything as breathe takingly beautiful as this had to be keep from those who would attempt to twist this power into something ugly.

"Do you really see my brother and I as friends?" I asked the vampire Bastian.

"We do, I'm sure you have seen that not much can be kept hidden if my mate Aurora or my brothers mate Sookie." Replied Bastian

"I know your concerns and don't worry, Eric was onto our intruders the moment you arrived." Replied Sookie giving me a wink and turning to her mate.

The Viking brushed his hand down his mates face before he locked eyes with me.

"My father has known Kaius a very long time and he does not doubt his loyalty to our nest, but the question needed to be asked, what would our enemies have been doing to ensure a victory before my nest become a thorn in anyone's side. A smart move would be to put in place allies close to the monarchs you wished to destroy if they didn't fall in line." Said the Viking as he turned towards Kaius's royal guards.

"Then why show your enemy the powers of your most valuable warriors?" asked Armie

"Please, that little push and shove a few minutes ago was maybe 30% of what these guys have in their back pockets. Tonight was about letting Boston feel and play with the powers at his disposal and if you'd taken the time to look closely, your friends haven't taken a step we haven't know about." said Pam looking bored.

The four guards stood maybe 7 metres to our left. They seemed content watching the show the Vikings nest was putting on, but as they watched, they were being watched. The Mailmen as well as the fairies Echo and Greyson stood off in the distance watching every twitch and gesture the vampires made.

"And what of us?" asked Armie

"Do you remember the first day you arrived and Aurora leaned in close and called you a good boy?" joked Sookie.

"Yes, she insinuated she was going to drain me dry." I replied with a shiver.

"We knew all we needed to know about you and your brother in that moment." Stated Godric as he and the twins joined us.

"How are you doing?" asked Sookie, changing the subject and showing concern for Godric.

"Well enough, did you see the shadows? I have concerns if that is a Hades gift and not one of Aurora's talents. But look at him, he's doing the unthinkable." Replied Godric.

"How much further does Gerard what to push this?" asked Eric.

"This is all just play now, I think he is also trying to burn of some of Aurora's heat energy, before Sookie yells at us again." Said Bastian.

"What was I meant to do, I was about to sexually assault your brother in front of the family." Replied Sookie stomping her foot.

"I don't believe you would have had any complaints." Replied Bastian giving Sookie a wink.

"Valliant and Leif why don't you go tell Gerard it time to shake the tree." Said Eric.

"You have to decide if you're with us or is it time to pack your bags and move on." Asked the Viking

"We are with you as long as you'll have us." I replied and my brother seconded my response.

With a nod from Godric the wolves and Fae attacked and within seconds the four vampires of the royal guard where no more, it was unsettling at how easy it was for them. We had trained with the vampires in question and they were more than capable, but it was becoming very clear to me that even the wolves and fairies in this nest where more than meets the eye.

Armie and I stood silent as we watched Yannick descend, arms wrapped around a very excited Boston. The second Aurora and Stark hit the ground the nest proceeded to fall into some sort of raiding party. Aurora and Stark, joined Jasper and the wolf was covered in the same tactical gear we had been wearing on arrival.

"How long will they need?" asked Godric.

"How many do you want them to kill?" asked Gerard, raising his eyebrows.

"As many as you can in 20 minutes, any longer and we are asking for trouble, hit them hard, fast and leave no evidence. We can't risk any backlash, while we are at the conference." replied Eric

My mouth actually dropped open as the Polar Bear walked up to Aurora, the pair studied each other for a moment but instead of turning back into his normal fairy form, the Fae Preston turn into a replica of Aurora and there in front of us was now 2 female death dealers. It wasn't until the pair turned towards Godric that a difference could be seen, as perfect as his duplication was the fairy still held one green eye and one blue.

"May I ask what you're planning on doing?"

"The German has been sending raiding parties to the kingdoms we are aligned with, I have no doubt he has people watching us, but a response is needed. We are going to hit him but not give him the proof he needs to prove it was us." Replied Eric

"But you're sending the Angel? You may be able to fool him that the death dealers were not involved but the Angel is more than capable of leaving a path of destruction that'll lead back to your nest."

"What are you suggesting Asher?" asked Godric

"Send Aurora in but ensure she is as covered as possible and the wolf but allow Armie and myself to assist, then the attack will be seen as more vampire related than your nest pacifically. If you can move a large portion of the nest out in public when we attack that will be even better, The German will never believe you'd leave that attack up to vampires and a wolf, when you have death dealers at your disposal." I replied.

"Jasper this is your call." Asked Eric.

"If you want to tag along fine, but stay on our six and if you think of shotting us in the back, get ready for a fight. Aurora and I will be ready." Said Jasper pulling a black cap out of his back pocket and putting it on his head while bending the peak, the action was something that I shouldn't have noticed but it was the eye connection between the wolf and the death dealer that brought something to light.

"Your whole nest is telepathically connected." I blurted out.

"What makes to say that?" asked Sookie with a smile.

"I suggest the Angel leave his mate in our and the wolfs hands and he say nothing, the Alpha males say nothing, we are going into battle and the wolf and the death dealer say nothing, you all watch each other, move as one, react to each another's needs before words are spoken, it remarkable and only possible if a sire bond was in place or a telepathic connection." I replied.

No one answered my suspicions, but we got a few small smiles and the odd nod, Godric told us to get ready and in the five minutes it took us to suit up, the nest had started to move. Aurora was now dressed in a similar outfit to Jasper her hair pulled up and hidden under a cap, Gerard was giving the wolf and Aurora stern orders when we moved to their sides.

"15 minutes do you hear me? No shifting, no wings and any sign of trouble you shimmer out or where coming after you. Don't make me come after you Aurora, Jasper keep a tight line and don't fuck this up."

The pair nodded and the four of us stood quietly as the nest climbed into cars and straddled bikes heading to Fangtasia so they could be seen by anyone that maybe looking, not more than 2 minutes after the last engine could be heard Jasper addressed us.

"This is your last chance to pull out."

"Where with you, you can trust us." I replied

"I fucking hope so, because we're hitting the Vampire council at their biggest compound, get ready boy. Los Angeles here we come."

Armie and I said nothing, we'd made our decision and we were ready. The wolf pulled out a tether line and clipped it to the back of the death dealer's vest, it hadn't past my notice that she didn't have a single weapon on her but I'm sure they knew what they were doing. We stepped forward and placed our hands on Aurora's shoulders as ordered and three bewildering seconds later we stood off to the side of one of the vampire council security stations. Jasper readied his riffle, we watched as Aurora gave him a wink and raised her hand to his mouth. With a nod from the death dealer the wolf's mouth shifted into a muzzle and he bit down, lapping at the blood. My fangs elongated at the scent of the blood, and my body was a buzz with excitement to charge into battle at Aurora side. As soon as the wolf took his last swipe of blood, he turned to us.

"Stay close, but be careful of the heat, we've only ever practiced this with Stark or Preston. Kill anything that moves, we are trusting you to have our backs don't let us down." Said Jasper giving the tether one more tug.

He pulled a couple of ear buds out putting them in Aurora's ears hit play and pointed her towards the gates, he pulled the peak of his hat down, made sure his safely was off, tapping Aurora's shoulder. My brother and I will remember this moment for as long as we live, right before our eyes the beautiful death dealer transformed into a burning ball of destruction. The blood taking became obvious as Armie and I took four strides back from the death defying heat screaming off of Aurora's body, the ground beneath her feet melted but the wolf seemed protected. He gave us a smile and moved the pair forward, trees ignited, wood burst into flames and then the fun started. We moved into a jog as Aurora lifted her arms and the fire shot forward decimating anything in its path, Armie and I gave each other an excited growl, dropping our visors and went to work.

Godric's POV

We hadn't been in Fangtasia more than 20 minutes when the Germans spies made themselves known, 3 groups of 2 vampires each positioned in different areas of the club shot to their feet phones to their ears. All six of them had their sights locked on Yannick and Aurora, little did they know it was Preston in the form of Aurora. When both Eric and my phones went off we knew it was time. What I hadn't been expecting was for my call not to be from someone on the vampire council.

"Godric, it's Armie."

"Why are you calling?"

"We've come across something we weren't expecting and we need the demon."

"Is anyone harmed?"

"Not exactly, all that challenged us have been eliminated, even some that didn't. Aurora was hit, but still functions, she assures us she is fine. We've come across 30 plus females and males, possible Fae, Elf and Humans locked in cells."

"So release them and return to the compound."

"Some are in really bad shape and the others we don't know what to do with, its weird science shit. It appears someone has created a breeding farm. Aurora wants Kellan to teleport them back to the compound, Niall will need to be called. "

Aurora must have been communicating with Sookie and Kellan, because in the next second my sons mate and the demon stood and raced out the back of the club. I ended my call with Armie and turned to address a pair of vampires storming towards us.

"We are ambassadors of the council, we have just been informed of an attack."

"Well as you can see, it was not us. As a matter of fact, I've just had to send two from our nest to ensure our home is safe, heavily armed vampires have been seem surveying the grounds. Are they yours?"

Eric had ended his call and was now staring at the pair with the same accusatory stare, we watched them look over to the other four vampires now standing together.

"I can assure you it was not us."

"Well how about you tell me who you are and why you're in my fucking territory." Roared Eric standing, this in turn making the rest of our nest stand and silence fell over the club.

"As I was advising your maker,…"

The vampire was cut off as Gerard and Stark started to growl in a feral manor, Eric gave them one look and new something was happening with Aurora, without a second thought for the vampires standing in front of him, my son started barking orders.

"Yannick and Dartagnan your with us, the rest of you back to the compound, lock it down. "I watched our nest mate's race out of the club without looking back.

"Pam get on the phone with our King and confirm all is well." Ordered Eric, it was part for show but we also wanted to ensure the German hadn't moved against DeCastro

"Chow, Rai, start closing the club. I want us all lock down and in the cars in 10 minutes." Yannick stayed with Eric and I, but Dartagnan started herding patrons towards the exits.

"You've got 5 minutes make it good. "Said Eric, looking at the six vampires now standing in front of us.

"It seems you are aware someone has attacked our Los Angeles compound?"

"Well since you've been here all night spying, you've seen for yourself that a large portion, as well as the most powerful potion of our nest was here at the bar. Are you trying to accuse us of this attack" barked Eric.

"It was suspected, but as we have seen with our own eyes that is not the case, we will take our leave and see you at the summit next week, be safe." Replied the ambassador, before turning and racing out of the now empty club.

We were in the cars and heading to the compound within 10 minutes, Yannick was on edge and twitching like the car was making him claustrophobic.

"You ok Yannick? You're looking a little on edge, big man." Asked Chow from the driver's seat.

"Aurora's pulling at our connection, she's in pain and it's causing her emotions to race all over the place, rage, lust, fear." Replied Yannick as his eyes rolled back in his head.

Chow and I fell silent as we watched Dartagnan pull Yannick into an embrace, ahead Pam and Eric had taken the last turn towards the compound and we readied ourselves for what was to come.

I truly had no words, before us spread out on the lawn of the compound where close to 20 men and women of different species draped in medical gowns, Yannick and Dartaganan burst from the car before it even stop. I didn't know what the council was thinking, but this had to stop, I was about to help Adele whom was walking around with Sookie and Piper glued to her side handing out blankets and offering drinks to the people Aurora and the boys rescued, when Chow grabbed my arm and pulled me towards a group in the middle of a heated discussion.

"We can't just fucking rip them out, there barbed. One has penetrated her lung." Spat Gerard at Bastian, running his hands through his hair, almost ripping it out as he paced in frustration.

"I've had enough of this place, you tell Eric to get his shit together and work out a plan, because were out of here the first chance we can get." Spat Kellan storming past

I was about to ask what was going on, but then I saw it. Our beautiful Aurora, eyes hooded as she struggled to stand begin held up by one of her mates, I couldn't see who because they were hold 90% of her weight, angling her body against theirs, and what little I could see was being blocked by a very upset little brother. Aurora wheezed and coughed up a little blood, while she still kept smiling as she tried to comfort Boston. What scared me the most was the three large harpoons sticking out of her back? I spun around and grabbed Armie demanding answers.

"I want to rip you limb from limb, start talking now?"

"Hey it wasn't his fault, he and Asher put themselves it the line of fire, while I was trying to cut Aurora free." Said Jasper stepping up to stand side by side with Armie.

"Cut her free?" I asked confused.

"Those fucking harpoons where hooked up to hydraulics anchor line, after they realised they couldn't pull her down with two, a third almost took Asher's head off while they started pulling her in, but we were able to hack through the wire cabling and set her free." Replied Jasper.

"Where is Asher?" I asked calming down slightly.

The pair nodded towards Aurora and then I realised it was him that was holding her up, I took a breath trying to calm myself and scanned my surroundings. Where were the rest of her mates? and why was Asher holding Aurora. I noticed movement just around the corner of the garage, and there was Preston, Stark and Yannick with the mail men holding back 8 male supes all in the same hospital gowns as the creatures in the front yard. From the scent in the air I was looking at Fae, Elf, and Demon.

"Are they going to be a problem?" I asked

"Maybe, maybe not. At the moment they just want to protect their saviour, but with Aurora being on heat and her male mates on edge, Gerard wants them kept back and there's also the mater of your son trying to attack everyone." Replied Grayson as he appeared behind me.

"Where have you been?"

"Preston sent me to advise Prince Niall, he has returned with carers and is currently helping with the females." replied Grayson.

"How bad is it?"

"It looks as if someone has been mixing and matching breeding partners and create cross breeds. The last I heard there are nine pregnant females and three child already born."

"I didn't see any children?"

"Erebus and Marigold have them with the twins, they are in age range of 5 and 7, so this has been going on longer than any of us can comprehend. One of the Elven females told Kai, fourteen chid have been born, only three survived. More than half of the females are of the Fae, some are full bloods while others half lings but Fae all the same. There's even a Nephilim, half human half Angel female." Said Grayson shaking his head in disbelief.

"What is to happen to them?"

"Niall wishes to take the Faae back to the homeland."

"Ralph and Paul are to take the Nephilim and one of the children back to their realm."

I was about to ask about the others when Gerard started barking orders.

"Grayson, I need you and Echo with me. Doulas, Lilac, Michael and Kai, I need you to move the males over to the front of the house. Celine, Mara and Lix, get the Saxton's and patrol the perimeter. We are about to put Aurora, Yannick and Stark out of commission, the rest of us will be trying to get those fucking thing out of her back, so I need you to keeps us safe. Godric, I'll need you and Bastian on Boston, we don't know how he is going to react to what we are about to do."

As soon as the rescued males had been moved off, Stark, Preston and Yannick moved towards Aurora, the venomous snarl coming from Boston was other worldly, there looking back at us was my darling little son transforming into something like Kellan's demon. I went to calm him but the air around us shifted and my skin prickled as Kellan transformed and roared at my son, Bastian quickly gripped my shoulders to stop me from going to Boston's aid.

"You cannot interfere father. Boston must heal to Kellan authority as alpha"

"He is just a child and Gerard is your Alpha." I spat back as my blood ran cold for my youngest son.

"Within out mating yes Gerard is our Alpha, but look at them father, all my male mates are alphas within their species." Replied Bastian.

And it was true, I'd noticed the Angels and Fae following every command from Stark and Preston, I'd even noticed the wolves looking to Gerard for leadership, but Boston was a child, my child. Kellan's wings had transformed and the ground at his feet smouldered and turned to ash, Boston gripped onto Aurora making her catch her breath and this pushed Kellan's demon to assert more dominance. He learned forward and hissed at Boston, I watched as the weight of the Kellan's alpha authority pushed down on Boston, it almost looked like the matcher child control we vampires had. Boston whimpered letting go of Aurora and lowered his head walking to Kellan, I was about to rip free of Bastian hold to get between Boston and Kellan but the Demon lowered to his knees once Boston was on front of him and the two put their foreheads together, Boston demeanour broke and he threw his arms around Kellan and started to cry. The Demon returned the embrace raising to his feet keeping Boston wrapped in his arms.

Gerard walked up to the pair patted Kellan's demon on the shoulder and leant in to kiss Boston's head, the beautiful moment was broken by Asher grunt as Aurora legs gave out from under her. Gerard sprinted forward and grabbed Aurora waste, the silence was broken by the growl coming from Asher.

"It ok my friend, you have done well. She will be safe soon within her mates." Said Gerard to Asher, the vampire slowly nodded and stepped away.

Stark raced forward, Gerard lowered Aurora to her knees and Stark knelt down in front of her, with Gerard keeping her upright, I watched as Stark reached forward and stroked her check, Aurora's eyes fluttered from the contact.

"Hello my beautiful Angel, can we lay down for a moment, I'm so very tired."

"I know you are my love, but I need you to stay awake, how would you like to got to our special place." Whispered Stark lifting her chin so they had eye contact.

"Gerard doesn't like it when we do that." Chuckled Aurora coughing up more blood.

"It ok baby girl, Yannick going to come with us and Gerard will stay with our bodies. Do you want to go?" asked the Angel again leaning forward and kiss Aurora gently.

Everyone seemed to hold their breaths as she nodded yes, Stark moved forward as close as he could wrapping Aurora in his arms, being careful not to bump the harpoons, he rested his forehead against hers. Once she was pressed against his body Gerard moved back and Yannick knelt down next to them resting his forehead against theirs. Gerard signalled Preston, Echo and Grayson forward and they circled the trio laying their hands on them. Silence fell as everyone watched a white light trickled from Starks chest and slowly cocooned the trio and just before they clasped Preston, Echo and Grayson took their weight keeping them upright. I had been so focused on Aurora I hadn't notice Eric had arrived until Bastian moved passed me bumping my shoulder as Kellan passed Boston to him.

"What's happening?" asked Eric

"The harpoons tips have poison on them, Aurora's body is becoming septic but we can't get the harpoons out without cutting them out and we can't put Aurora to sleep so Stark has taken her subconscious to Folkvangr it's a plain next to Valhalla. The heavenly fields of the goddess Freya." Replied Bastian.

"Yannick?" I asked.

"Gerard asked him to go with them, apparently Aurora and Stark and get lost in there pleasure and refuse to return when called." Said Bastian forcing a smile on his face as he kissed Boston forehead.

Bastian turned Boston so he was unable to watch Gerard and Kellan rip open Aurora's shirt, Gerard pulled a small blade from the back of his jeans and started cutting into Aurora flesh trying to dislodge the barbs as Kellan's demon would lean in and lick at the wounds burning them closed.

"Kellan wants to take Aurora and Boston away from here, she will recover but he's at breaking point that she keeps putting herself in danger to save others, Jasper confirmed they only started firing once the broken the prisoners out, Aurora used her body to block the harpoons while she blanketed everyone else with her shield. The steel could never have penetrated her flesh if she'd shielded herself." Said Bastian rubbing soothing circles on Boston back.

"I can't blame him, I don't want them to leave, but his demon already has an issue with half breeds and Aurora keeps damaging herself to protect us and them. If Adele wasn't here to calm Sookie and Blaesus down, they'd be on a burning rampage and I be at their side. This goes way beyond us, some of those creatures had been held prisoner before Sookie and I even knew of each other." Said Eric

"You have to know Gerard spoke with us before and he going to take control of our future attacks, he's going to assemble teams to work together. A little like tonight, a pure blood will be paired with a Vampire, a Wolf, a Fae and an Angle. The teams will allow us to cover just about every situation, he is still full of rage that Aurora was hurt but he is also grateful the Jasper, Asher and Armie held their ground and they brought everyone home." Said Bastian.

Whilst we had been talking Gerard and Kellan had removed the harpoons from Aurora's back Kellan's demon had returned to where ever he goes now the Aurora's wounds had be cauterised. We watched as the pair brushed the faces of their mates calling them to return, Boston stirred in Bastian arms looking over to his beloved sister and brothers.

"Can you hear me my heart, I need you to come back to me." Purred Gerard brushing kisses over Aurora's face.

Yannick's eyes fluttered like he was attempting to return, But the muscles in Stark arms rippled as he pulled Aurora closer and the pair seemed to fall deeper into where ever they were. Gerard open and closed his fists, trying to get his rage under control, Kellan seemed to find the situation slightly amusing now that Aurora's body was healing.

"I swear to the gods, I'm going to kick Starks arse if he does return to my call." Growled Gerard

"We really haven't given him some one on one time with Aurora, he's just taking every second he can." Replied Kellan

"And what about my one on one time, I'm her alpha." Snapped Gerard.

"But Stark is her first, he will be her last. She chose him over killing Yannick and she will chose him over her own life every time. Don't look at him as one of her male mates, look at him for what he truly is, her other half." Said Preston as he smiled leaning down and kissing the side of Stark's face.

Gerard smiled and leant into Preston kissing him, after taking a moment and nodding. He asked Echo and Grayson to pull back, braking the energy shield they'd been holding around Aurora, Stark and Yannick. Gerard knelt down next to the trio but this time instead of addressing Aurora he brushed Stark hair back, nipping his ear.

"Bring her back to us Angel and we'll spend the night playing with Kellan's demon." Purred Gerard.

Kellan burst into laughter as all three moaned and started sway back and forth returning to their bodies, Gerard scooped up Aurora, nodding to Grayson and Eco, with a smirk of his face Gerard turned and started towards there bed room, The Fairies each grabbed one of Yannick's arms as Kellan pick up Stark with Preston's help. Bastian passed Boston off to me and I relaxed for the first time since returning to the compound, but before Bastian followed his mates he called out to Asher and Armie.

"You coming or not, this isn't an invitation you'll get again."

I don't know who was more shocked, Eric and I or the two A sexual vampires, but they just looked at each other for a moment and followed Bastian.

"Well this is going to be fucking interesting." Said Eric ruffing up Boston hair before we both chuckled and went to help with the creatures now spread all over the compound.
