Dark Heart: fay war.
Chapter Twenty.
Lord Dean was feeling a lot better, his injuries had healed quickly once he was home with his mate and their harem. He had no desire what so ever to leave Castiel's side so the fact that his mate wouldn't leave his didn't bother him at all. They were snuggled up in front of the fire place talking softly to each other when Miss Ellen knocked on the door.
"Come in" calls Lord Castiel.
"My Lord… two Alpha's are here looking for Alpha Lucien" says Miss Ellen as she enters the room.
"That's odd… come on my love let's go and see what they want with Lucien" replies the vampire as he gets up and holds out a hand to Dean.
Lord Dean takes it and rises, slips an arm around his Sire and they head outside to see the alpha's.
"Good afternoon… my house keeper informs me that you are looking for the Alpha Lucien ?" says Lord Castiel as they reach the small group of wolves.
Both James and William step forward with a nod.
"Yes we do… she says he is not here, is that correct ?" says William.
Lord Castiel nods "It is… he is away for a few days but will be back soon. May I ask what you wish to see him for ?".
The alpha's glance at each other before James replies "We have an urgent wolf matter to discuss with him".
Lord Castiel glances at Rasputin who nods then asks "What exactly is this business you have with my Alpha ?" he says.
"We have been hearing tales about Vincent… that he plans to try taking over all the packs of Midian… we wish to see if your Alpha will fight with us against him" answers William.
Ras laughs, both Alpha's raise an eyebrow.
"Join you… no but you can clear him a path to that sick bastard so he can put him down" replies Ras. The alpha's look at each other then nod.
"So he hates him just as much as I remember ?" asks William.
Rasputin nods "Oh yes… more so since we learned he's murdered Adain".
James gasps "No… that bastard… did any of the pack survive ?".
Ras nods "A few… his Alpha female and five others".
James looks horrified and turns to William "It must be true… Adain had over forty wolves in his pack… if only six survived…" he trailed off.
William sighed deeply "We need to see your Alpha… can word be sent to him ?" he asks.
Rasputin nods then looks to the vampire lord "That's if Lord Castiel does not mind sending his rider…".
Castiel dips his head slightly "Of course not… I shall send him at once".
"Thank you Lord Castiel… we appreciate this greatly" says James.
Lord Castiel turns to Miss Ellen "See to it please" he says.
She nods "Yes, my lord at once" then she bows and heads to the servant quarters to get the rider.
"They may as well wait here for him…" muses Lord Dean.
His Sire nods "Yes if you would like to stay with us until he gets back… I'm sure we have room".
"Thank you Lord's but my territory isn't far from here… we will wait for him there" replies James.
Lord Castiel nods "As you please… which territory so we know where to send him ?".
"I am James Blake" replies the Alpha.
"Ahhh… I knew your grandfather Alpha Blake, I know where to send him when he gets home" smiles the vampire lord.
"Thank you Lord Castiel" nods James.
After the wolves leave the rider comes to his lord "What message do I take to the Alpha Lucien, my lord ?" he asks.
"Tell him the Vincent situation is worse and he is needed as soon as he can get back" replies the vampire knowing he need not say much more than the mad wolf's name to get Lucien back there.
"As you wish my lord… the Vincent situation is worse and he is needed back at once" repeats the rider.
Lord Castiel nods "Very good, now ride".
A quick nod and a "Yes my lord" and the rider is mounted and off to the fay city.
"This sounds bad" mumbles Lord Dean.
"Yes it does" nods his mate "But no matter what I will keep you safe My Love… no one will ever hurt you again" vows Lord Castiel.
Dean snuggles closer to his love and smiles "I know you will Cas".
Castiel tightens his arm around Dean and leads him back inside, kissing his temple as he did.
"Are you worried about Lucien ?" asks Dean.
Lord Castiel shrugs lightly "He can take care of himself… I have seen that with my own eyes but by all accounts this Vincent is mad… power hungry and cruel so yes I am a little worried I guess".
"He won't be alone… Kale would die protecting him and those other alpha's want to fight him so he has them to help…" says Lord Dean trying to be of comfort.
Castiel nods "Yes… you are right and not just Kale his whole pack would die for him… the older members anyway".
"See nothing to worry about… he hasn't lived this long just to let some nut of an alpha kill him" adds Dean.
Lord Castiel chuckles at how right his mate is… Lucien had survived hundreds of years and would not go down easily. He hugs his love and kisses his temple again "Thank you My Love… you always make me feel better".
"Just doing my job" grins Dean.
Lord Castiel chuckles and nuzzles his neck.
"Taking me to bed are you Cas ?" husks Lord Dean.
"If I must" teases Castiel.
Dean pretends to pout until his mate lightly nips his earlobe and husks "And I always must".
"Yes you must" husks Lord Dean as he snuggles closer to Castiel.
The vampires head straight to their room when they get back inside which is where they had spent most of their time since returning from the fay city.
She rides for The Vale, stopping only when she must. She must make it in time… the Blood of the Moon must flow forth and anoint the Alpha king before the black pack crosses the Dannath. The southern packs must be united… Vincent must die… she had seen it all, was racing against time and wished she could fly like a bird. She rides as fast as she dare push the horse so he will get her all the way there. She has no time to waste now… things move fast from here on out… she has seen it. She rides on.
