The Return Of Queen Cheyenne

chapter 11 is Cheyenne really alive?

Edited.

Mercury’s P.O.V

I woke up in the middle of the night and I was shocked to see that Holly wasn’t lying in bed next to me. It was a little weird, so I got out of bed and put on my boxers, then went to the bathroom, but she wasn’t in there. I walked to the bedroom door, but stopped when I heard her talking to someone in hushed voices. I couldn’t make out what they were saying, so I let my wolf come forward and that’s when I heard she was talking to Shane, but what they were saying made me feel like I was going to have a heart attack.

“Are you f*****g serious? Are you sure that it was her?” Holly whispered, raising her voice slightly.

“Yes, I’m f*****g serious, she looks just like her. I mean right down to her hair and eyes. Holly, if this is really her then how in the hell are we going to tell Mercury?” Shane asked and I heard Holly sigh.

“I don’t know, Shane, I really don’t know, but I can’t hide this from him. If this is really her then how come she hasn’t come to him? How come she hasn’t come to see her children and grandchildren? It might not be her, but keep an eye on her just to make sure. I want to know if it really is her before I tell Mercury about her and if it is true and it really is her then this is going to be really hard. Just keep this information on the down low for now and I’ll go see for myself in a few days. I need to know one way or another, no matter how hard it's going to be. I mean if this is really her then how is she back and how come she hasn’t come straight here to see her family and Mercury? Even if it's just to say goodbye to them and tell them that she has a new life or something, she would still come back here, wouldn’t she? I swear if it really is her and she hurts him or the family then I’ll f*****g kill her myself. Do you realise how long he has been mourning for her, how long they have all been mourning for her and now she could be back. I mean come on, I’m here and I love him, but he still won’t let her go.” Holly said and then they stopped talking. I backed away from the door and got back into bed after I heard what she had said. I knew that Holly had seemed distant lately, but I didn’t know that she felt this way. Maybe I do need to let Cheyenne go, but if she is still alive then how am I going to do that. Holly’s right, if she is alive then how come she hasn’t come here to see me and the kids? This was going to be difficult and awkward, but I would have to keep my cool until Holly tells me, unless she wants to see for herself. I heard the door creek open and Holly walk into the room, closing the door behind her, so I pretended to be asleep.

Holly’s P.O.V

I got a link from Shane, begging to see me and it sounded urgent, so I carefully got out of bed without waking Mercury up and met him outside our room. Shane looked like he had seen a ghost and then he told me something that I really didn’t want to hear, that he had seen Cheyenne or someone that he thought was her. He said that it looked just like her, right down to the hair and eyes, but how could it be when she was dead and had been for the last twenty one years? It was impossible, wasn’t it? If it was her then why hasn’t she come here to see him and their kids? What the hell has she been doing all this time and where did Shane see her? He didn’t tell me much and I was in shock with what he did tell me, worrying about all of this and the huge mess it could cause. Shane and I said goodnight, then I went back into the bedroom where Mercury was still asleep, but I had a weird feeling that he wasn’t really asleep. It made me wonder how much, if anything, of our conversation he had just heard, but I wasn’t going to ask him and instead pretended to play along like he was still asleep. I got back into bed and pulled the blankets over me, covering up. Mercury rolled over and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer to him. I felt so many mixed emotions about the news I had just heard because if it was really her and she was back then I was really going to miss all of this, I was going to miss him. I knew that Mercury would want her back, after all she was his first mate and his first love, who wouldn’t want that back given the chance? I heard my wolf, Mila, whimper in my head at the thoughts I was having and knew that just the thought of letting our mate go was hurting her.

“I’m sorry, Mila, but they were mates first and if she is alive then you know he’s going to want her back. I think I need to slowly back away from him and keep our relationship at a distance, so that it won’t be as hard when he goes back to her. I just can’t do it, I can’t go through the pain of losing a mate again, but if I pull away now it won’t hurt as much.” I said, but my wolf huffed.

“He is our mate and you don’t even know if it's her or not.” Mila replied and I sighed. I knew that she was right, but something in the pit of my stomach was telling me that it was all true, that she was really back.

“Yes, I know, so tomorrow I’ll ask Shane where he saw her and I will go there and see for myself. I need to know if it’s really her and if it is then I’m going to need to tell him. That’s going to be the hardest thing I’m going to have to do and the second hardest is when he rejects me for her. I need to slowly plan all of this out so that he won’t suspect a thing.” I said and heard her whimper again at the thought of us being rejected.
