The rest of the week had passed like a speeding bullet taking its shot. It was the weekend finally and Anastasia was excited because she was leaving to go to the dragon castle with Phillips and Charles. Riley wanted to go, but Anastasia told him to stay there and work with the other elves to get stronger. He was hurt but he got it.
Her parents, didn't want her to go but as long as her guardians were with her it was fine. She was becoming a big girl, a woman and she needed to go out in the world to see life. To see it for herself on how everything is going. They knew she was strong and if something happened, she could defend for herself let alone have a whole dragon kingdom.
As Anastasia was packing a small bag, because they didn't know how long they were staying there, Riley was in there with her talking to her.
"Babe, I wish you'd let me go. I'm gonna miss you, especially if your gonna be gone for more than a day."
"I know, Ri. But its my duty, as future queen, I have to do this. They are our allies to this kingdome. Just like I'll have to visit the vampire kingdom soon, even the werewolves pack that's close to town. Even the werebears and the elves. All of the creatures that we are with, I have to make sure they are doing a great job and keeping everything in line. That's my job."
"No, its your parents job. Its your job to live and be with me right now." Riley said with a few water crystals in his eye's.
He knew he was about to tear up because he was getting frustrated at his mate. He didn't want her to go, he just wanted her there with him. Laying in a bed, cuddling, holding onto one another making love but that wasn't happening.
"If you leave, don't expect me to be here." Riley said as he was walking away.
"Riley, are you kidding me?"
"Does it look like I'm kidding. Your my mate, for christ sakes!" Riley spoke a little loud.
Anastasia looked at him for a moment. She wasn't ready to fight with him on this. She grabbed her bag and walked to her door. As she opened it, Riley grabbed her arm and jerked her back. She hissed a little when he did that.
She looked at him for a moment staring into his gorgeous eyes. She loved his eyes. It melted her in place since the moment she met him. She placed a hand on his face then leaned over to kiss him before walking out her room.
As she was walking down the stairs, he ran to the rail that looked down to the first floor.
"ANASTASIA!" He yelled at her.
Anastasia stopped and looked at him. As she was, everyone was walking into that area. She felt a little embarrassed but she didn't show it. Phillips and Charles walked towards her and Charles grab her bag.
"DO NOT WALK OUT THAT DOOR, PLEASE!" He yelled down to her.
"OR WHAT RILEY?!" She yelled back.
"I'LL LEAVE, YOU WONT SEE ME. I'LL REJECT THE MATE BOND!" He yelled back.
When he had said that, something in her chest had pinged from being hurt. As she stared at him thinking what to do, her parents walked into the room. The queen watched what was going on since she heard what was going on. Everyone did but no one said a word. Anastasia looked over at her parents then her guardians. She didn't know what to do.
"THEN DO IT, I DON'T CARE!" Anastasia said then walked away. "MY PEOPLE COME FIRST!" As she yelled back when she got to the door.
"ANASTASIA!" Riley yelled once again.
But this time she did not stop. She kept her head held up high and got to the the car where Charles and Phillips had parked it.
When she got into the car, she shredded a tear but whipped it quick so her guardians didn't see her hurt.
Riley looked all around at the people. They were murmuring at what just happened until his eyes landed on the queen and king. He swallowed the lump that was in his throat when he saw them. He thought he was toasted with them that's when he felt a hand on his back. When he looked it was Frank. Riley jumped from the sight of him. Because he knew this was it. He was told if he ever hurt the princess in any way, Frank would know.
Frank had that look in his eyes that he was pissed. But didn't do anything. He just kept staring at him.
"Frank, leave it." The queen saying making everyone jump to the sound of her voice. You could hear she wasn't happy. But she wasn't pissed either. She knew what going on, she didn't want her daughter to leave either but got what her daughter was saying as well. "Riley, I get your her mate. But as my daughter, don't ever stop her for doing her job. She saved you once don't make me regret having to stop Frank there."
"I know my queen. I'm sorry."
"Don't," the queen was going to say but the king interrupted her. "Don't say your sorry to us. Say sorry to Frank and pur daughter. Your mate. She'll be back in a few days unless your going to do what you told her you were gonna do. That's all on you but don't ever threaten it again. DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN A SECOND TIME!" The king said then grabbed his queen and left the room.
Frank looked at his queen and king then looked at his people down below. "Go back to what you were doing, before this i***t interrupted it." Frank said then looked back at Riley. "You should be happy you have a mate like Anastasia. No, you should be privilege to have someone like her, because I would die to have someone like her. And I'd kill someone over her too. So don't ever pull that again. So go to your room and think what just happened. And don't ever catch me hearing anything like that again to my princess." Frank said pushed Riley against the wall with a growl then walked away.
Riley shaking like he was, speed walk to his room and did what Frank said.
When Anastasia and her guardians arrived at the dragon kingdom, after their couple hour drive. They would have been there sooner if they flown but they brought their bags, just in case if they were there a little longer than they expected.
When they pulled up, the queen and her guards were standing there waiting for her son to get out of the car. When they got out, he put his arm on Anastasia talking to her about the past when the last time they were there. Getting a few giggles out of her which was making the dragon queen smile.
"Anastasia, my darling, you came." The dragon queen had said walking towards her.
"Yes, I had asked if I could come. Its been so long since I've been here."
"Yes, indeed it has." The queen agreed. "Let's walk to my office so we can talk." She has said then looked at one other guards. "Tell Kevin to meet us there."
"Yes, my queen."
"Kevin's here?" Phillips said.
"Yes, he just got back from his long mission trip."
"Who's Kevin?"
"Oh he's my eldest son. He's just a few years older than Phillips here."
"I don't remember seeing or hearing a Kevin when I was here."
"That's because mother here had sent him off to another kingdom to train to take her place."
"That is why I called you here." His mother had said as they were walking towards her office.
As they were walking and talking, they were about half way there when they had heard a loud growl. It echoed everywhere, making Anastasia look all around her until she saw someone marching towards her fast then pushed her against the wall, making her scared for once in her life.
"Kevin, what the hell get off my princess." Phillips had said pushing his brother off of Anastasia.
Kevin growled at his brother then saying one word that no one expected to hear it since they've heard it already from someone else. "MINE!" He growled out once again.
"What!?" Everyone had said all confused.
"Kevin, son. Let her go, your scaring her." His mother told him.
"Mate, don't be scared." He said rubbing his head under her chin to get a good sniff of her neck.
That's when Anastasia had used her hand and placed it on his chest and sent a low settings of ice to freeze him a little to get him off of her. When she done that, he growled then backed away.
"Mate, why did you do that? How did you do that." Then he looked at Charles. "You gave her ice powers?"
"I am here summons, so I gave her all my powers. She's the fairy princess, she can handle everything." Charles smirked.
"Damn, my mate is bad ass."
"I'm not your mate. I have a mate, that's," she started to say then looked at Phillips. "Philly, he did it." She started to tear up some then pushed away from the wall. "That f*****g elf did it. He rejected the mate bond because I left."
"What?" Both the queen and Kevin had said.
"Phillips is that true?" The queen asked.
"Well, he said he was gonna reject the bond of she left to come here. He didn't want her to go if he wasn't coming along." Phillips said.
"Well screw that elf. I'm a much better mate than him. I'm about to be king soon." He said grabbing a hold of her hand and placing it on his chest.
"I, I can't." She said pulling back her hand.
"Let's talk about this in the office please." The queen said.
As they walked towards the queens office, Phillips wrapped his arm around his princess, getting a few growls from his brother, that was walking behind them. Anastasia was all confused on how this could be. Riley didn't say; he rejected her right there so maybe they were still mates. But she couldn't tell because she wasn't 16 yet. This was really hard for the princess. She didn't know what to do.
When they got to the office, Phillips walked her over to the couch and sat down next to her. Charles, stood by the window, looking out as the queen went to her chair and Kevin stood in the corner watching his mate.
Kevin was trying to think how his mate had another mate. He's heard of someone having more than one mate but never saw it before. Not until now. But what he didn't know was that she couldn't tell if he was ber mate just yet nor did they know that she has 4 mates total.
"So mother why did you bring me out here for?" Phillips asked.
"Well, as that I have two sons, and I'm retiring soon. I wanted you here when I placed my crown onto your brother. Its time."
"And by that, my mate can stay here with me as my queen."
"NO!" The princess said. "I am the future queen of my kingdom. I am the fairy princess, for crying out loud." Anastasia said getting up.
"But I am the dragon prince. I need my queen/mate by my side."
"I'm not your mate!" Ana had yelled sending ice out from her then passed out.
"Princess!" Both Charles and Phillips called out as she fell.
Kevin was the first to grab her. "What's going on?"
"We need to get her to a room. She hasn't done this since she was a kid when she first got her summons." Charles had said.
"What's wrong with her?" Kevin asked with concern.
"Its cost from stress." Charles said.
"Why would see be stressing about?" The queen has asked.
"Mother, before we left. Her and her mate got into it kinda bad."
"Son, I know. Y'all said that."
"Just think about it mother. Her mate threatened to reject their bond to her finding out she has another mate."
"She's not processing it all." The queen said.
"Or at all." Phillips said.
"Let's take her to my room." Kevin said lifting her up. "Call the doctor to meet us there to make sure she's okay." He had said then walked out of the office. "Its going to be okay my mate. I will never hurt or even reject you for leaving to do your job."
As Kevin was carrying his mate to his room, the queen had paged for their doctor to come check her out.
While Ciri and Geralt was chatting to Frank about what was going on and how it went. Frank felt a small pain in his chest. But didn't think of it. He just kept listening to his queen and king talk.
"That elf is gonna be the death of our princess." The king had said.
"Dear, just let him be. He's just doing his job as a mate to make sure his mate is going to be fine. Would you do that to me?" The queen asked him.
"No," he said at first. Ciri gave Geralt a look. "Yes, but I wouldn't say I reject you." He had said.
As they spoke Frank was starting feeling weird. He felt dizzy that's when Adam and Oliver came running in then looked at Frank.
"What's wrong with y'all? Why are y'all running in here like that." Geralt asked.
"Frank." Both the guardians had said.
Making both the queen and king look at him. "What's going on? What's wrong?" The queen asked walking over to the vampire.
"Its Ana, my queen." Frank said. "She's in distressed. It hurts."
"What's going on with my daughter?" Geralt hissed.
"We've only felt this before this bad when she was a kid." Adam brought up.
"She's stressing about something. We have to get to her now." Oliver said.
"Go, get to my daughter." Ciri hissed out.
"Frank can you teleport us to her?" Adam asked just as Riley had walked into the office.
"What's going on?" The elf asked.
"Something's wrong with Anastasia." The queen said.
"What's going on with my mate?" The elf hissed out.
"We don't know, we were about to teleport to her if Frank can do it." Oliver said.
"I can help him teleport."
"You can't go to the dragon kingdom. Your kind isn't allowed."
"I don't care, that's my mate. And the looks of it, he don't look strong enough to do so."
"Do it." Ciri said worried.
They all nodded. Riley grabbed ahold of Frank and the others grabbed ahold of them. When Riley saw they had a hand on both of him and Frank, he used his power on Frank then they were off.
While Kevin was sitting on the floor next to his bed waiting for the doctor to come. Phillips was pacing back and forth. The queen was watching how his eldest son was watching his mate. She was hoping her baby was her mate since they were close but with Kevin being the fairy's mate was even better. A dragon king with a fairy queen.
A few moments later a doctor came in at the same time a flash then a noise was made like something had fallen. When the light went away, everyone looked and saw Riley and Frank were on the ground. Adam and Oliver helped them up and looked where they were and saw their princess laying in a bed, passed out.
"Get me to Ana." Frank said weakly.
Phillips helped Adam get Frank over to their princess. As he placed his hands on their princess Kevin growled and went to attack Frank but his brother had grabbed him.
"What are you doing? Get your hands off my mate." Kevin growled.
When Riley heard that, he hissed. "Your mate?! That's my mate!"
"So your the f*****g elf, didn't you already reject her and hurt her."
"No, I didn't reject her." Riley said.
"You didn't?" Phillips asked.
"No, I only said that so she could stay. Look how that went. I love her to much to reject her even if she called feel the mate bond just yet." Riley said.
"Wait, she can't feel the mate bond?" Kevin asked shrugging off his brother. "How old is she?"
"15, she wont turn 16 until two weeks." Oliver said.
"Wait a minute she has two mates?" Adam said.
"I guess so." Charles said.
"Frank, how's it going?" Phillips asked.
"She's there. I'm trying to break her shell. Its taking a lot out of me this time." Frank said.
"Let me help?" Riley said stepping close to the bed making Kevin grab ahold of him.
Riley summoned a dagger and had it at Kevin's throat. The queen roared a little at the elf.
"Get your dagger away from my son!"
"Tell your son get his hands off of me!" Riley hissed. "I'm just trying to help my mate."
"My mate." Kevin growled.
"Look, both of y'all are here mates but we don't need this right now." Adam said trying to push the mates apart.
"Brother, let him help Frank." Phillips told Kevin. "He has powers that could help her."
Kevin growled then let go of the elf. The elf put the dagger away then went over to Frank and Anastasia. He put his hands on both of them and started saying some words in elfish language. Rumes and symbols were appearing in the room, on the walls. Both Frank and Anastasia were glowing from the power.
After a few moments, the princess had opened her eyes and looked at her mate, Riley and smiled. Then she looked over at Kevin and smiled as well. But they didn't know that she was feeling different, she was feeling both their mate bonds and it was doing things to her. It was making her weak but in a good way. The only reason she had passed out and had a hard shell was because she was panicking that she had two mates.
