The Unknown Lycan Princess - Chapter 151: Chapter 151

Third Person POV
After hearing Timberlink’s call for help Felix rushed back to where he had left the pups. Arthur and Roman were on his heels hoping they could get to their grandpups in time. Arthur was especially worried since he knew none of the rogues had followed them. What other dangers still lurked within these stone walls. Roman could feel the evil in the caves. It was almost overwhelming to him.
They reached where Felix had hidden the pups just as a bright light flashed through the space momentarily blinding them. As their sight came back to them they saw a bright orb surrounding the pups. As they rushed to the pups’ aid the bubble disappeared, leaving the two pups unharmed. There was a collective sigh of relief amongst the men knowing that the pups were safe.
“Timberlink! Esmerelda!” Arthur and Roman said in unison. They rushed to their grandpups each grabbing one. Arthur grabbed Esmerelda as Roman grabbed Timberlink.
“Are you alright? What happened?” Roman asked Timberlink.
“There were bad people here, grandpa. They were trying to hurt Esmerelda, but mama came and made them all go away. She disappeared though when she touched the shield Esme put around us to protect us from the bad people. Where did she go? Did you see her too?” Timberlink explained.
Roman and Arthur exchanged glances at each other. They didn’t know how to feel about that. Beth was in the middle of the battle raging outside. “No kiddo. We didn’t see your mom. I’m sure she is proud of you though for taking such good care of your sister. Why don’t we get out of here before those bad people come back hmmm?” Roman said. He did not like the way the cavern made him feel like his skin was crawling. Like little bugs were crawling all over him.
Arthur agreed. He didn’t want his grandpups anywhere near this place anymore. He could still feel the evil intentions of the witches that were killed here. The men carried the children out of the caverns with Felix in the lead to scout out for any danger. Felix ran ahead once they made it to the entrance of the cavern.
Felix ran all the way back to the clearing where the battle was taking place. The quietness of the surroundings was eerie, but also calming in a strange way. As he made it to the clearing the battle had ended and the remaining rogues were being gathered up by the lycans and vampires while the witches were administering truth potions and the wolves of the Blue Moon Pack were interviewing the rogues to determine if they were redeemable or not. Those who were redeemable were placed in the gathering hall to receive medical attention and fresh clothes and a hot meal.
Those who are not redeemable are placed in the dungeons to later determine what punishment they will receive. As Felix approached Lupus and a group of his fellow lycans surrounded him to cage him in. They did not know if he was friend or foe. They recognized him from before the battle being with the Rogue leader so they weren’t taking their chances. “Stay where you are, rogue!” Lupus bellowed out.
Felix didn’t move. He didn’t appreciate being held up, but he knew they were only doing a job in protecting the people of this pack. “I mean no harm. I am scouting ahead for Alpha Arthur and King Roman who have the two pups with them, Timberlink and Esmerelda.” Felix stated clearly and loud enough for everyone to hear him.
Lupus looked to be in thought before he said, “Tell me where they are and I will send some men to get them. If this is a trap I will have your head.” The menacing stare from Lupus left Felix feeling agitated. He was an Alpha wolf himself and being disrespected like he was wasn’t sitting well with him at all, but he knew engaging this wolf was not in his best interest so he let it go. For now.
Felix explained where he had left the men and pups. Lupus sent a squadron of 15 wolves and lycans to investigate and retrieve them. It didn’t take long before the group returned with Arthur and Roman with the pups. Arthur approached Lupus and said, “Lupus, why are you detaining my brother. He is a hero. He saved our grandpups from witnessing this horrible battle. Release him at once!”
Arthur was tired of this whole mess. He just wanted to get his grandpups back in the safety of the packhouse and see for himself that his family is alright. He was worried about what Timberlink had said about Beth being in the cavern. “I want a report of what happened on the field. How many casualties, prisoners, and injured.” Roman went straight into leader mode as soon as he stepped foot back on the battlefield.
“Sir, we are still gathering that information. As far as we have seen there haven’t been any casualties on our side as of yet. There are several wounded in critical condition, but they have all been transported to the nearest hospitals. There are healers among the warriors caring for the minor injured. We are still assessing the prisoners. We estimate that should be done within the next few hours. As soon as their leader was killed the fighting stopped. Some surrendered. Others tried to flee. Those who tried to flee were taken out quickly sir.” A vampire replied to his king.
“Very well. Keep me informed. I am going to take my grandchildren to their parents.” Roman said as he turned to head towards the packhouse. Arthur and Felix followed behind him. As soon as they reached the packhouse Martha, Jessica, and Piper ran out to the men. Martha and Jessica surrounded Arthur giving him hugs while thanking the moon goddess that he was alive and unharmed. The moment they were done they took the pups and started to fuss over them. Forgetting all about the men. Piper was inspecting Roman for any injuries. When she was satisfied that he was unharmed she wrapped her arms around him and started to sob while Roman soothed her as best he could.
Arthur and Felix left Roman outside with his mate as they followed the women and children into the packhouse. “Martha I know having the pups home is a wonderful thing, but did you miss something before you took off with our grandpups?” Arthur said in a teasing tone.
Martha turned back to him while saying, “What exactly did I miss…” She stopped talking mid sentence when she noticed Felix standing beside Arthur with a brilliant smile on his face.
“Marty I am hurt that you forgot all about me. I thought I was your favorite?” Felix teased her.
Martha quickly handed Jessica the baby while she rushed over to Felix to give him a hug and said, “Felix, oh my goddess! We have missed you!” After Martha was done giving him the longest hug he had ever had she started to smack him saying, “Don’t you ever die again! Arthur was a mess without his baby brother all these years.”
Felix couldn’t help but chuckle especially as Arthur begins to protest. Martha quickly silences him though. “Come on. We need to get these pups back to their dads. It will help calm them down some. They are going crazy right now.” Martha said sadly.
That got the men’s attention. Arthur was afraid to ask, but he did anyway, “Is Beth?” He couldn’t finish his sentence. He knew she was in that barrier with Baxter on her own. He had exited the battle before he could ever spot her in that madness.
“She’s alive. Though I don’t know how, those boys have been going crazy ever since they brought her in. Marcy said that she would be completely fine and just needed to rest, but those boys won’t believe anything until she wakes up. Come on. The pups will cheer them up.” Jessica said.
Timberlink ran ahead once they made it to the alpha floor. He entered his home and the moment he ran into the door Ethan scooped him up and started to inspect him for any injuries. Then Alexi grabbed him once Ethan was done with his inspection. Ethan zeroed into Esmerelda in Jessica’s arms and snatched her right out of them. He also inspected her as he did Timberlink and Alexi did the same.
Martha grabbed Esmerelda back from Alexi and said, “Come on Timberlink. I think we need to get you and Esmerelda cleaned up and fed. What do you think?”
Timberlink looked offended at the suggestion of getting cleaned up. So he said, “But grandma I have battle dirt on me. I’m a warrior and dirt never hurts anyone.” He was proud of his little speech, and he hoped that it would stop him from getting in a bath. He had no such luck as he received the look from all the adults in the room. He hung his head down and said, ” Fine.”
“I’m going to check back in on Beth again and see if she is awake yet.” Jessica said. Leaving the men to discuss what had happened. It wasn’t long until Jessica was mindlinking everyone telling them that Beth was awake.
