The Unknown Lycan Princess - Chapter 119: Chapter 119

Beth’s POV
Watching Mable rip out her own human’s throat was almost too much for me to watch. I knew something was coming by what Harmony had said to Mable, but I was not expecting that to happen. I didn’t realize I was shaking until I felt arms wrap around me. I looked up to see the concern for me in Alexi’s eyes. I laid my head on his chest for a moment and breathed in his scent. Soon I had another set of arms wrapped around me as Ethan’s scent enveloped me. I allowed a moment for the bond to work its magic and help me to relax.
“I did not expect to see that. Mable was a very strong wolf to be able to do that to herself to stop her human. I feel sorry for the poor dear.” Martha said with emotion.
“The moon goddess will take very good care of Mable. I have a feeling that Mable is about to be given a new and better life.” I said. Now that the initial shock of the whole is over I can think more clearly.
“Before we talk anymore I think we should take a small break. This needs to be cleaned up and it is almost time for our first arrivals from the Lycans to show up. I don’t think it would be such a great first impression for them to walk in here to see a dead woman with her throat ripped out.” Arthur said.
Before anyone could react though Ares popped into the middle of the room almost standing on top of the dead body of Nancy. Beside him were Lupus and roughly six other lycan males and two lycan females. Ares looks around the room before looking at his feet and then he chuckles and says, “Cleaning house I see. Hades is going to have fun with that one. She was a real piece of work that one.”
Lupus looks at the dead woman on the floor and c***s his head to the side then he speaks and said, “Is it customary to command your people to kill themselves as punishment?” He honestly sounded confused and a little awed by the fact.
I jumped in quickly before Ares could say something stupid. I could see it in the twinkle of his eye. “No, Lupus. It is not customary. Mable asked permission to give her human the punishment she felt she deserved for harming her pup. Mable, Nancy’s wolf chose to end their life to protect her pup from further hurt.”
The disappointment was evident in his face. Seriously what the hell is wrong with people. “Ares. You are early. I thought you were going to be bringing them AFTER lunch time.” I pointedly say, letting him know that I was not impressed with his lack of time keeping.
“Ah about that. I was visited by a very pesky moon goddess who said and I quote ‘quit lollygagging around and get those first lycans to the pack now you i***t’, and so here we are. As promised, the first batch of lycans.” Ares says in a flourish of hand gestures and making his voice a higher pitch to try to emulate Selene’s voice. If I weren’t in a mood at the moment from just watching someone kill themselves I would have found it funny. However, I am not amused by it at all.
Before anyone else could say anything I could hear my pups’ cries and they were getting louder. I rushed to the door and noticed that Jessica was looking like a hot mess right now with baby vomit all over her. She looks like she is about to be in tears as she is holding a crying Dimitri and Ares. Timberlink doesn’t look much better. He too is covered in baby puke and is holding Esmerelda as close and as far away as possible.
“I can’t do this. I can’t be a mom. How am I going to handle my own baby if I can’t even take care of my niece and nephews. I can’t do this. Please I can’t. I…I am going… I am going to be a terrible mom!” Jessica just starts to wail. I couldn’t help but chuckle to myself. I remember when my body was riddled with hormones too. Poor thing.
I quickly grabbed up the pups from Jessica and passed them on to their daddies. Sandra quickly came over and grabbed Esmerelda from Timberlink while Martha pulled Jessica into a comforting hug only a mother could give while trying to soothe her. I sent my mom a mindlink asking her to meet Sandra in the nursery to help clean them up. I opened up a portal straight to the nursery and Sandra walked in followed by Ethan and Alexi. I stayed behind knowing that between the four of them they should be able to get the pups cleaned up.
“Timberlink sweetie, why don’t you go into grandpa’s office bathroom and wash up ok. Then you and grandpa Alexander can go find some mischief to get into for now while Grandma Sandra and Grandma Erica help your daddies clean up your siblings.” I said to him.
Alexander was quick to step in and say, “Now before you go arguing with your mama I could use your help. Grandma Sandra is having a birthday soon and I need your help to find her the perfect gift. She doesn’t like the store bought stuff so we will have to go exploring to see if we can find something she really likes. What do you say? Help an old man out?”
Timberlink looks to be in thought before he agrees. I mouth “thank you” to Alexander and watch as they leave the office opting to use a restroom closer to the exit of the packhouse instead. Martha finally has Jessica calmed down enough for me to ask her what had happened.
“They were fine until about ten minutes ago. They all started to fuss badly and then before I could get them to settle the exorcist puking started. At first it was just Dimitri, but then Ares and Esme started too. It was awful. I don’t even know what caused it. They didn’t have a fever or anything because that was the first thing I checked.” Jessica said in a rush.
“You said ten minutes ago?” I ask. I wanted to make sure it was exactly ten minutes ago. Her nod confirmed it. Hmmm that is odd. ‘Harmony, is there any way that our pups felt Mable taking her life. The timeline fits.’
‘Our pups are very special. It is possible they felt her connection to them snap. It makes sense, but it also doesn’t make sense.’ Harmony replied back.
“That is about the same time that Mable took Nancy’s life. Harmony seems to think the pups may have felt her life force snap away.” I say to everyone to let them know where we are at.
“They have royal lycan blood running through their veins. Of course they felt the life of a pack member leave. Do they not teach anything to you young pups anymore?” Lupus said, sounding as if this was common knowledge. Granted it probably was back in his time.
“It is a little hard to know about royal lycans when I am the first one seen since you pulled the s**t you did and got all of our people trapped for over a thousand years.” I snapped at him. I probably could have done that better, but I swear he has only been here for a few minutes and already I want to send him back where he came from.
“You are right. I am sorry. Being a lycan royal they are already connected with their pack the moment they were born. Just be thankful that they have not been born during warring times. That is not a fun time for anyone let alone young ones such as that.” Lupus said trying to help make me feel better in his own twisted way. However that did not ease my comfort knowing that soon we will be in a war. My poor babies are going to be the ones that suffer for this.
“Well that is just great. We are in the middle of a bloody war because of all of this. Is there a way to block that from the pups? They are so young. They shouldn’t have to go through that type of pain.” Martha said. I agree with her.
I will have to see what I can find in some of the older magical tomes Sandra had brought with her for me to look over. Ethan and Alexi walked in shortly after with a change of clothes and looking freshly showered. I went to open my mouth when alarms started to blare and the mindlink was flooded with links from the patrol stating they saw a group of rogues coming fast chasing a young she-wolf.
I open a portal right away to the border and watch in horror as the young she-wolf loses her footing and falls to the ground. Soon the rogues were on her and trying to tear her apart. Just as one of the rogues were about to lunge at her throat I opened up a small portal large enough for the rogue’s head to go through and it came out at the throat of one of his comrades. Before he could stop himself he had already latched onto the rogue’s neck and pulled back fast, ripping it out in just a matter of seconds.
That startled the rogues for a moment and they all stopped and stared, trying to figure out what had happened. Before they could register anything Alexi and Ethan charge in and start to decimate their ranks. Soon there weren’t any left and the she-wolf was unconscious. Alexi grabbed the girl off of the ground and I opened up a portal straight into the hospital waiting room.
“We need help!” Alexi yells out as doctors and nurses rush in to help take care of our mysterious guest.
