Chapter 23: Home Coming
(Kenzi's Pov – Few Miles From Dyson's Loft – 4:00 PM)
As I traveled back home, I could feel that something was changing. Although I didn't know what was happening, I knew I needed to find my pups. I knew that Dyson would be with Mikael and Ali although I couldn't help but worry. There was a pain in my chest that had started not long ago. In fact it only took me about 5 hours to get from where I ended up to where I was now. Rounding the corner, I spotted Dyson's loft yet they lights were off. I narrowed my eyes as I tried to understand what was going on. Stopping not to far from the entrance of the loft, I took a deep breathe and tried to sort out the scents. It was then that I realized Dyson had left. Bo and Lauren were also here and I could also smell a scent close to the Morrigan's. I snarled spinning on my heel, only to see that a weird looking man was standing in front of me.
"Are you Mackenzi?" He asked in a mono tone voice, which caused a cold chill to run up my spine.
I narrowed my eyes as I tried to get a lock on this dude's scent. "Who wants ta know?"
"The Una Mens require your presence." He took a step forward but I was a lot faster then he was.
"Sorry bud." I snapped as I whirled around kicking the dude in the gut sending him flying backwards. "I gotta see my pups and mate. You're Una Mens can wait."
With that I didn't stick around as I bolted and prayed he wasn't some kind of tracker. As I traveled I could smell that Dyson was heading into the dark territory. I could only assume Bo and Lauren were also here because of the fact I could barely smell their scents as well. It was as if they were being protected by the Morrigan. When I heard a scream, I was suddenly bursting through one of the windows. I ended up in a crouch as I spotted Dyson lying on the ground with a severe wound. Bo was kneeling beside him as Lauren was trying to move her. Lucia and Zombie were holding Mikael and Ali while I spotted the Morrigan and Lochlyn off to the left. My eyes and body moved towards my mate who was dying in front of me.
Fix him! Nezi whimpered as she howled in pain. We can not lose our mate!
"Dyson." I whispered dropping to my knees beside him. "Why?" I could feel tears gathering in my eyes as I dropped my head down on his stomach.
"He was protecting me." Bo whispered as she stood with her eyes closed, her head was bowed slightly as her fist were clenched at her side. I could see that she was hurting. "I'm so sorry, Kenz..." Her eyes snapped open, glowing a bright blue. "But I will not let him die."
I was about to say something when I felt my energy start to be drained. I watched as Bo drew in our 'chi' and then held it as her eyes glowed brighter. A hand appeared on her chest as she did this along with mine. I frowned as she leaned down and looked into Dyson's dead eyes. I cringed when she leaned forward, kissed him then forced his body to take the chi it was given. In a few seconds, Bo collapsed, Zombie was able to grab her before she fell on Dyson. I was looking into his face as Mikael and Ali whined as I heard them trying to get out of Lucia and Lauren's arms.
"Come on Dyson." I heard from someone in the room.
I could see where the tears were staining his shirt but at this time I didn't care. I leaned down pressing my own mouth to his and whimpered, rather pathetically. It wasn't until I felt his arms wrap around me and he started to kiss me back that my heart leap for joy. When I pulled back I could see his stormy blue gray eyes. He smiled at me as I pulled away and helped him stand.
"Are you ok?" I whispered trying to make sure he was fine.
Dyson nodded as he turned his head to Bo. "Thank you for bring me back."
"I had to." Bo whispered as she sat on the end of the bed. Lauren was checking her over.
"You were not suppose to bring him back." The Morrigan popped up. "That wasn't part of the test."
Lochlyn chuckled as he looked at the Morrigan. "Does Bo ever do anything by our laws? I believe that if anyone could stop the Una Mens from running rapid, it would be Bo." He turned to Bo. "No other succubus has ever brought a person back to life. They take lives but they do not give lives. You are truly unique."
"What was with the glowing hand print?" Lucia asked as she looked between Kenzi and Bo.
"Let me see." The Morrigan said as she moved over to Bo and moved her shirt aside. "Kenzi?"
I pulled my shirt to the side and revealed the same glowing hand print as was on Bo. I could see the wheels in the Morrigan's head turning which could only leave me with one question, who is this Rainer?
(3rd Person Pov – Una Mens Chamber In The Dal – 6:00 PM)
Trick stood in front of the Una Mens, along with the monks that worked for them, since their birth into this world. His eyes narrowed as he tried to figure out a way he could survive this ordeal. Yes, he knew that they wished him to be the Light Ash but he didn't want it. Lochlyn was well respected and did his job the best he could. He had known each of these Fae before they turned themselves into this.
"Do you know why we have called on you?" The female asked as she looked at Trick.
Trick nodded his head. "You wish me to become the Light Ash."
The female smirked then her face returned to normal. "That is one reason but we have information that the Wander is coming." She turned and pulled out a card with a black figure with a walking cane. It was like a tarot card. "Do you know why he is coming?"
"No." Trick said as he tried to keep his cool.
"Bo's father is dead, is he not?" She asked as she placed the card back on the table. "Did you know he and Gabe were working together? They were the ones that took the one called Kenzi. We sent for her yet she denied her invite." The woman looked into Trick's eyes. "I can tell if you are lying to us and you are. Speak the truth Blood King."
"Yes Bo's father, Gabe, is dead." Trick answered them. "As for the Wander and Gabe working together, I did not know of that."
"Do you know what he is after?" The woman spoke as if Trick did know.
Trick shook his head. "No, I do not."
"I do not believe you." The woman stepped forward. "We had sent someone to get the 'shoes' yet they were hurt before they could grab them by a wolf shifter. The very one in your command. If you do not know, then another will."
"You wont find them." Trick hissed as he turned, about to walk out the door when he stopped and turned. "I can promise you that. The day you all gave up your lives for this, was my gravest mistake. That was the reason I fled. I pray that you come to your senses before your lives end for good."
Everyone in the room stood there for a moment after Trick walked out of the room. There was silence until the female spoke as she kept her eyes locked on the door, where the Blood King had walked out.
"Remind Dyson that he is required to come tomorrow along with his mate and pups." She said quietly as her eyes darkened. "There are things that we must do. Also bring me the Book of Names and Relations, since the Blood King is hiding something, I shall find it out myself."
(3rd Person Pov – Dark Manor, Spare Room – 7:00 PM)
The Morrigan had lead Kenzi, Dyson and the pups to their own room that was beside Lauren and Bo's. There was a door that attached the two rooms yet it was locked for now. Lochlyn helped as he moved the crib into Kenzi and Dyson's new room. As soon as the Morrigan saw that they were taken care of her and Lochlyn went on their own way, leaving Kenzi and Dyson alone for the time being. Kenzi's breast were hurting her thus she pulled off her bra, with drew her arms only leaving her head through yet the shirt was big enough that she could cover her feeding pups if anyone wanted to enter. Dyson helped Kenzi situate Mikael then Ali. He sat back and watched his pups nurse at his mate's breast. Yes it was arousing but not in a disgusting way. Something he created was getting nutrients from the partner in their creation. Even his wolf was quiet for the moment as he stared in awe at his small pack, which was only growing.
"Are you ok?" Dyson decided it was time to break the silence between them. "You seems a little drained then you normally would."
Kenzi sighed as she leaned against the headboard and closed her eyes as she held her pups. "I am drained." She whispered as she pried her eyes open to look at her mate. "I fed but not well. All I could think about was getting back here to you guys."
Dyson nodded as he listened to Mikael and Ali, wanting to help Kenzi once they were finished. "Then I want you to feed as soon as their feed." He nodded to Mikael and Ali. "Also there is something we need to talk about."
"Alright." She looked down in awe that she was a mother. "I still cant believe I'm a mother." Kenzi smiled as she pressed a kiss to each of their heads as they finished and she handed them to Dyson, allowing him to lay them down in their crib.
"I'll get someone to get you some blood." Dyson said as he took Ali, lying her down by her brother. "The pups have also drank before you arrived. Bo didn't know that they would need blood as well as food." He chuckled along with Kenzi, who was fixing her shirt.
"Thanks D man." She winked at him, using her old nickname.
Dyson shook his head as he headed out the door to hunt someone down, in order to get some blood for Kenzi. Kenzi smiled as she stayed in the bed, lying on her back with her arms behind her head and ankles crossed. With her eyes closed, she didn't notice that the lights flickered before they went out completely. When Kenzi felt the bed shift, she bolted upright as her eyes scanned the darkened room for any kind of intruder. As lightening flickered outside the window, Kenzi caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. She shivered as she went to reach for the flash light by the table yet as soon as she felt it at the tip of her fingers, a sharp pain went up her arm along with the fact both her pups started to wail. Their blood and her's was in the air and in a flash the lights came back on. Kenzi forgot about her wound and rushed to her pups side. Picking them both up, she noticed that around their wrist was a bite mark of some kind. Just as she got Mikael and Ali to settle down, Dyson rushed in along with Lauren Zombie, Lucia and Bo.
"Are you ok?" Dyson growled as his golden eyes locked on her, Mikael and Ali.
Kenzi didn't trust her voice thus she nodded as she crumpled to the bed. Lauren and Lucia took the pups from her as Dyson picked her up and placed her in his lap. She knew that he would want to look at her wrist where the same kind of bite mark was located. Kenzi growled as she tried to figure out who would attack her and her pups. She had already taken care of Gabe thus as far as she knew, no one else should be after her. Looking at Dyson, Kenzi knew that something was wrong by the look of panic spread across his features but were gone as soon as they appeared.
"Dyson, what's going on?" Kenzi asked her tone cool. "Who would attack me and the pups?"
"They attacked me, too." Bo said as she stood next to Lauren, Lucia and Zombie. "I healed as soon as... well...ya know." She smirked as Kenzi sighed and shook her head.
"Yeah, BoBo we know." Kenzi rolled her eyes as she looked from Bo back to Dyson. "Who are they?"
"The Una Mens." Dyson growled as he hugged Kenzi to him as tight as he could. "They want to speak with you, me and the pups." He pulled back and looked in her eyes. "I don't trust 'em Kenzi. Not as long as our pups are in danger."
Kenzi narrowed her eyes as she looked at Bo. "I think these Una Mens are pissing everyone off." She tilted her head to the side. "They also tried to take me to 'their leader' but I kicked the guys ass before I ran away." She growled deeply as her eyes flashed to black. "No one touches my pups and get's away with it!"
