The Return Of Queen Cheyenne

chapter 23 fighting with Cara

Ace’s P.O.V

Day after day passed by, soon turning into weeks and weeks, but Cheyenne was still in a coma, going through the change.her children had been calling every day to check on her and her daughters and son had even come by to see her, but there wasn’t much they could do beside sit next to her bed and talk to her in the hopes that she would wake up soon. They would tell her how much they missed her, how much they loved her and that they couldn’t wait to start spending time with her. They would stay for a few days and then they would head back to their own packs, but not without asking me to promise to call them the second that she woke up and I gave them my word each time they asked. I would sit next to her bed all day every day, only leaving to use the bathroom or when her kids were here. I would talk to her and clean her, then I would move her arms and legs to keep them strong. I would lay beside her at night, careful not to catch any of the wires or IVs that were coming out of her body and softly kiss her lips. I was missing her so much and my wolf, Spade, was howling for her to wake up.

“Hey man, the pack house and cabins are almost built. How is Cheyenne, is there any sign of her waking up, it's been months?” Mercury asked and I could hear the worry in his voice for her. I felt a pang of jealousy when he asked about her, but I quickly shook it off, knowing that it was natural for him to be. She was after all, the mother of his children and his first mate, how could he not worry about her?

“Thanks man, no, there is still no sign of her waking up.” I replied and shut off the link. Three months had gone by and she was still in a coma, but then I saw her hand move a little. It was just the slightest of movements, but I saw it and rushed over to her so that she could see me when she woke up. Her fingers started to move up and down, making me smile at the small sign that she was finally coming back to me. I was watching her every movement and I wanted to be the first one she saw when she opened her eyes, but I knew that she would need to be checked over by the doctor if she really was waking up. I held her hand and stroked her cheek, hoping the gesture would help bring her back to me and then her eyes started to flutter until she finally opened them.

“Doc, get in here now.” I said, mind-linking the pack doctor. Cheyenne blinked a few times, just as the doctor came rushing into the room.

“How is she doing? Is she waking up?” Doctor Lucian asked and I nodded. Cheyenne blinked a few more times and then she opened her beautiful eyes.

“A…Ace….” Cheyenne called out and I squeezed her hand.

“I’m here, honey. I haven’t left your side.” I replied and she squeezed my hand tighter. I helped her sit up in bed after the doctor had taken the IV out of her arm.

“How are you feeling?” Doctor Lucian asked, handing her a glass of water.

“I’m feeling alright, but my wolf, Nicole won’t stop talking. She keeps saying Ace’s name and that we are mates, which is something I already knew, but has now been confirmed. She says she can’t wait for me to have my first shift and blah blah blah.” Cheyenne replied, making me laugh.

“Yeah, Spade is going nuts in my head, wanting to see her as well. He keeps going on about how he is finally going to have his mate as well.” I said as we both shook our heads at the silly antics of our wolves.

“Listen, I know that you have only just woken up, but you need to call your kids. They have visited at least twice a week and I told them that you would call once you are awake.” I said, remembering my promise to them.

Cheyenne’s P.O.V

I didn’t know how long I was out for, but it felt like forever and I could tell that I wasn’t alone. I could feel myself getting stronger and then it was like a dam burst inside me as my wolf started talking to me.

“Hey Cheyenne, my name is Nicole and I am your wolf. You need to wake up now, your loved ones are waiting for you.” Nicole said, making me smile. I knew that my kids and Ace would be waiting for me to wake up and I knew that I needed to because there was a whole new world out there for me now. One that I had experienced before and would get to do so again, but this time it wouldn’t be with my previous wolf and lycan, Sheba or Lovell, it would be with my new wolf, Nicole. There was so much that I needed to do, so much that I had missed and I would be damned if I let a little sleep stop me. There were my children, Ace and there was also my restaurant, that even though I knew was being taken care of by Yara, was still mine and I wasn’t going to be giving up on that place any time soon. I struggled for a bit and when I finally managed to open my eyes I saw Ace sitting beside me on the bed, holding my hand. I squeezed his hand a little tighter, needing to feel his touch and wanting to be near him, but did he still love me after all, however long it had been, this time? Could I still feel the sparks that were once there? I needed to feel them and after a few seconds I felt the sparks flying all around my body and I knew that he felt them as well. The doctor took the IV out of my arm and Ace helped me to sit up, which I was grateful for because I was still a little out of it, but then I looked into his eyes and we began talking like nothing had happened, like no time had come between us. The doctor left us alone after giving me the once over, making sure that I was alright and closed the door behind him.

“I love you.” I said, turning to face Ace and he smiled from ear to ear.

“I love you too. How are you really feeling?” Ace asked and I knew that I couldn’t hide anything from him.

“Honestly, I’m feeling like my old self again and it’s a little weird. I had forgotten what it was like to be a werewolf and it feels good having one again. I can’t wait to see what she looks like, but damn I feel stronger and I can see and hear better as well.” I replied, moving so that I was sitting at the side of the bed. I needed to get up and walk around to get my footing once more. Ace held my hands and steadied me as he helped me to my feet, which were a bit wobbly at first, but after a few minutes I was able to walk on my own and the first place I was going was the bathroom, being asleep for that long could really make you need to go, I thought to myself and laughed. There was so much that I needed to catch up, training for starters, which shouldn’t be too hard because I already knew how to fight and I now remembered most of the training I did with Mercury, but it was so many years ago could I really do it now? There was only one way to find out for sure and that was to get stuck back into it, but not today or even tomorrow. I wanted to speak to my children first and spend time with Ace before I did anything.

One Week Later…..

The first few days I spent time with Ace and got my bearings back, knowing that now I was a werewolf again everything was going to be different. I spoke to my children and they had come to visit me, hugging me when they saw that I was alright. I started training a couple of days after their visit and to say those days were a little rough was an understatement. I had to try my hardest not to hurt other people when I trained with them, but there was this one girl, Cara, that was royally pissing me off. The trainer, Frost, told us all that we needed to pick our sparring partners, so Cara took it upon herself to make a beeline for me as she chose me as her sparring partner.

“I’ll take you.” Cara said, like I was beneath her and I rolled my eyes.

“Alright fine, but if we end up getting into a real fight then don’t blame me.” I replied and she nodded.

“Alright you two, get into the middle of the circle and into your fighting stances.” Frost said and we did as we were told. I saw Cara smirk at me before Frost stood to the side and began the countdown, then raised his hands and then brought them back down, signalling for us to begin. I turned to face Cara and the b***h punched me right in the face, breaking my nose. I put it back in place, making it crunch as I did so and then I smirked at her.

“My turn.” I said and before she could react I did a roundhouse kick, kicking her in the stomach and making her fly back, hitting the ground hard. She gasped and wheezed because I had winded her, but then she started growling at me and it only made me smirk even more. I had dealt with her kind before and it was the kind of b***h that wanted the Alpha of the pack, not because she loved him but because she wanted the power. Well f**k that s**t, Ace is mine and mine alone. Cara charged forward and knocked me down before getting on top of me, but I raised my hands and blocked her from hitting my face because that was what she wanted. My face. I raised my leg and thanked the Moon Goddess that I had long legs because I was able to kick her in the back of the head and knock her off me. I quickly got to my feet and saw that everyone was watching our fight. Huh, they must have all known what Cara was trying to do and now they were standing back and watching me hand her ass to her. I was distracted for a few seconds and Cara did a swing kick and kicked my legs from underneath me, but I got back up before she could do anything else. I back flipped a few times to put distance between us, but she was right there in my face and I wanted her gone, so I did the only thing I knew how to. I balled up my fist and punched her as hard as I could right in the face. She fell back hard on her ass, holding her nose and then she looked up at me growling, but when she took her hands away from her face I saw that not only had I broken her nose, I had also split her lip and made her mouth bleed.

“I know what you’re doing, b***h and it's not working. Ace is mine, so keep your f*****g nasty ass hands off him.” I said and made sure that it was loud enough for everyone to hear. I acted like I was going to turn and walk away, but instead I kicked her in the face and knocked a few of her teeth out.

“YOU f*****g b***h!!! YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!!!!” Cara screamed at me, but I just shook my head.

“Yeah really, well that's what you say, but if you f**k with me, my man or any of the pack members then you will end up dead, b***h, is that clear? I’m the motherfucking Luna here, so get that into your f*****g head.” I said, meaning every single word. If she even so much as looked at my mate in the wrong way I would f**k her up and then kill her.
