So another story that I have not updated in 364 days. This is a bad trend that I have gotten into, but for some reason this story is just not speaking to me like it once was, but no matter what I will finish it someday. Any who, I will shut up now and let you get to reading. Enjoy and leave me some love:)

I was shocked to say the very least. I didn't even know that type of hybrid was even possible. "How do you know this, um..."
"Preston Ma'am, Preston Pardloe."
"How do you know all of this Preston?"
"I've overheard the Prince ma'am. He doesn't approve of your husband no matter what he actually says. He has known all along about the contract that says you belong to Warlow. He wants you to get stronger from the vampire blood before he passes you off to Warlow even though he is extremely dangerous."
"Hold on just a second Buddy." I released my hold on him and motioned for him to stand. "Why would Niall want me charged with vamp blood then dropped with a crazy fairy/vamp? He knows how much I love Eric and I would never willingly leave him to be with this Warlow guy. How is he even possible?"
"He wants you to breed with Warlow Princess. He wants to start an army of powerful fairies even if they are hybrids."
"I don't fucking think so. The only vampire anything I plan on breeding with is my husband. This lunatic needs to find another fairy to knock up because this one is not available. And you can tell Niall to keep Warlow away from me and that he can also go and fuck himself."
"The Prince can't keep Warlow at bay even if he wanted to."
"An why is that?"
"Because Warlow is over five thousand years old."
Holy Shit! He's almost twice as old as Russell Edgington. This is so not good. "You said that he was extremely dangerous. How so?"
"Not only can he walk in the sun and wield fairy powers, he's also a murderer. He killed the Prince's entire clan over two thousand years ago as well as being the one who murdered your parents."
That was the last straw. I couldn't handle anymore of this shit being piled on me all at once. It was all just too much for me to take. The world quickly started spinning before everything went black.

I was changing the boys and getting them ready for their nap when I suddenly filled up with worry for Sookie. Everything around us was happening so fast and she hasn't had anytime to adjust to all of this. I know that she's still worried about the upcoming coronation even with all of the extra precautions that we have taken, then with discovering the boys can fly might just be the final straw that she can't handle. I personally couldn't help being incredibly proud of them for taking after me already.
The boys were just dozing off as I put them in their co-sleeper when I felt my bond with Sookie go completely silent. I knew that Sookie would never willingly shut down our bond with all the trouble that was around, so I knew that something was wrong.
I made sure that the boys were settled and the baby monitor was on, then I zipped downstairs following Sookie's scent out into the backyard.
What I saw there made me see red. My wife was unconscious in the arms of an unknown fairy. If this was the fairy that had been following our children, he was going to suffer greatly.
I was quick to take Sookie from his arms and send him flying across the yard. I zipped Sookie up to our room with the boys, then I was quickly back down in the yard with the unknown fairy dangling in mid-air with my grip tight around his neck. "Who the fuck are you and what were you doing with my wife? Were you trying to abduct her?"
"No Sire, I swear. She fainted and I was just trying to help her."
I clutched his neck tighter. "Why did she faint? What did you do to her?" I loosened my hold slightly so that he could speak. He quickly proceeded to tell me what he had told Sookie and I understood now why she had fainted. "You swear to me that you mean us no harm?"
"I swear Sire, I only wish to keep you and yours safe."
I looked at him for a moment before deciding to trust him hoping this wouldn't come back and bite me in the ass. "Alright." I set him down and turned back towards the house. "Follow me."

I slowly opened my eyes and noticed right away that I was not where I was suppose to be. I jumped to my feet in a defensive stance until I saw who was standing before me. "Freya."
"Hello my daughter."
"What am I doing here, wherever here is?"
"Your emotions are reaching a precipice and if something isn't done about it, you are going to be no good to yourself, my son, or my grandsons and I can't have that."
"I'm sorry, I am just feeling very overwhelmed right now. The boys are barely a month old and they can already fly. How am I suppose to protect them if they can fly anywhere they want?"
"Oh my Darling girl, right now they are just playing with the little magic they have. You don't give them or yourself enough credit. They may be young, but they understand that at home they are free to play. They would never fly away from you in public. You are their mother. they'll want to stay close to you for awhile."
"Really?"
"Of course, but you also need to remember that if for some reason you did get separated from them you can always call them to you. Your magic is a part of them just as their magic is a part of you. No matter the distance, you'll be able to call them to you through that connection."
Her words were actually a great comfort to me and I felt a weight lift off of my shoulders, but that comfort didn't last long. "What about when my other children are born? There are going to be so many of them. How will I be able to care for all of them?"
"You do remember that you have a husband now, right?"
"Of course, but he's as big a novice at raising children as I am."
"Sookie, the majority of taking care of a child is instinctive and both of you have incredible instincts. And you must realize that I would never let either of you flounder. You are slowly receiving the help that you are going to need to care for all of your children."
I thought about Octavia and Amelia helping us and somehow I knew that she was right, but thinking about help made remember Preston. "There's something else that I need to talk to you about."
"Anything Sweetling. I am here to help you."
"I met a fairy at the house today named Preston Pardloe. Is he trustworthy?"
"Oh yes. He serves Niall faithfully because he is still young, but he is loyal and very protective of the entire royal family. He will protect you and yours with his life."
"So, he wouldn't lie to me. would he?"
"No, why?"
"He told me there is another fairy out there who wants me, who apparently had a contract stating that I'm his."
"What is his name?" There was a different tone to her voice and an expression on her face that I couldn't read, but it didn't seem right.
"His name is Warlow." I could see instantly the recognition on her face. "You know who Warlow is, don't you?"
"I have known him for a very long time, but I haven't seen him in many years or heard from him."
"What connection could there possibly be between you a Norse Goddess and a fairy/vampire hybrid?"
"He's my son."
