The Return Of Queen Cheyenne

chapter 30 caveman

Mercury’s P.O.V

When we got to Ace and Cheyenne’s pack we got out of the car and Holly grabbed the tray’s from the back seat. She had made Jalapeno poppers, which I’d eaten a few on the way there and damn, this woman could cook, they were so f*****g good. We were greeted by Ace and Cheyenne, then led out back to where the BBQ was being done. Holly placed the tray’s down and then we walked hand in hand over to them.

“Thanks for inviting us. I hope you both like the poppers, Holly made them.” I said and watched Cheyenne smile.

“I’m sure we will love them. I made cabbage rolls and coleslaw, while Ace over here is trying not to burn the hamburgers and hotdogs.” Cheyenne replied and both her and Holy started laughing as Ace pulled a face at them. Cheyenne and Holly went to sit down at the table, while Ace and I got stuck into the cooking, well, tried to cook without burning the food. The kids went off to do their own thing in the house and that left Holly and Cheyenne alone.

Holly’s P.O.V

“Holly, let me show you the gardens, I think the guys have got this.” Cheyenne said and I nodded, wondering what she needed from me. We walked over to the flower gardens and I looked at the many beautiful flowers, then I turned to face her. I needed to know one way or another, so here goes nothing.

“Cheyenne, when did you start to remember your kids and Mercury? Why did it take you so long to come forward?” I asked and she went silent as she just stared at the flowers. I knew that she was thinking long and hard about what I had asked her and then she looked at me.

“It was weird, at first I started to remember things in my dreams and it would be flashes of something that happened in the past, they seemed so real, like I could reach out and touch them. The dreams went on for a while and each time I would wake up startled and sweating, but I just put it down to being really vivid dreams, then Ace had a meeting with an asshole of a wolf that was trying to hurt his sister. He was trying to break up the bond between her and her mate, Victor and although Ace warned him to stay away he just wouldn’t and then he tried to kill Courtney. Ace lost it and got ahold of him, ripping his head right off and that’s when I had a flash of a man doing the same thing. I didn’t know what was happening to me at first because I had no memory of any of this, but the flashes kept coming to me for days after that and because Ace was aggressive and sometimes uncontrollable it triggered more flashes. I had to put him in his place a few times and I even punched him because he acted like he was about to hit me once and then it was like boom. I had flashes of Mercury doing the same thing and everything came at me all at once, like full force. Everything that I ever did in my past life, my kids, Mercury and the force of all my memories hitting me at once was so strong that it caused me to fall to my knees and hold my head. I felt like I was going to pass out from all this new information and it took me a week to sort everything out in my head because I had an entire lifetime of memories to go through, but once I had I knew that I had to tell Ace. I told him everything and that’s when I asked him to call you. I wanted to see my kids, I missed them all and I didn’t want to think that I didn’t want to see them because I did. I had to see them and Mercury, to explain everything to them.” Cheyenne replied and I nodded, sighing.

“And what about Mercury? How do you think he feels after seeing you after all these years? Did you want to see him as well?” I asked and Cheyenne looked at the flowers again before looking at me.

“Come on, let’s walk a little further away, you know how these men are, they love to listen to anything about themselves and I refuse to rub their egos.” Cheyenne replied, making me nod and giggle because I knew that she was right. We walked for a while until we were far enough away from the back of the pack house so that Mercury and Ace wouldn’t be able to hear anything and then we stopped.

Cheyenne’s P.O.V

I knew that this was going to happen sooner or later and I knew that I would have to talk to Holly about all of this. If we didn’t have this conversation then there was going to be tension between us and I didn't want that to happen, so I asked her to look at the gardens with me. I didn’t think that she would be the one to start talking and asking questions first, but she blew my mind away with how straightforward she is and I liked it. I liked her and didn’t want to see her hurt, but I think we are going to be alright after this. She asked me questions and I explained to her how I got my memories back, how long it took me and how it all happened, but then she asked me about Mercury. This was it, this was what I was dreading and it could hurt or heal her, but I knew that I needed to answer her truthfully.

“Holly, I don’t want to hurt you, but I also want you to know the truth, so I’m going to be honest with you. Yes, I wanted to see him, I wanted to see how he was doing, but I promise that I didn’t want to come between you and him. Was it hard seeing you and him together, yes, it was, but I was also happy for the two of you. When I hugged Mercury, I heard your sobs and I told him to go to you. I have Ace and Mercury has you, maybe we have some unfinished business, but that will come in time. Maybe right now isn’t our time and maybe that will happen later on down the road, but not right now. Mercury loves you, Holly. I can tell, but please don’t come at me thinking that I want Mercury back because I don’t. Don’t get me wrong, I still love him and I always will, but if I wanted him then I would have told him by now, so stop with all the insecurities because that is a big turn off for him.” I replied and saw that Holly was a little taken back by my answer.

Holly’s P.O.V

What the f**k? What right does this woman have to tell me what to do? Who the f**k does she think she is? I thought to myself, angry at her answer and how she had spoken to me. I knew that we were at least a couple miles away from the pack house, so I decided that I was going to let Cheyenne have it once and for all.

“Alright, I have had enough of your s**t. Do you realise that for years I have had to deal with all this s**t. All the Cheyenne this and Cheyenne that, blah blah, blah. I was there for Mercury when a f*****g witch tried to kill him. I was there for him when he was mourning you. I have two children with him and yeah, I know that you’ve had four, but I will not let him go without a f*****g fight. Cheyenne, don’t ever come at me like your trying to be a bad b***h because guess what, you’re not the only one thats a bad b***h and I will f**k anyone up that tries to take my man away. Is that clear? I love all of the kids, not just the ones I gave birth to, so if you’re trying to scare me off then sorry, it's not working. Now back the f**k off, b***h because I am the wrong b***h to f**k with.” I said, but all of a sudden she started laughing. Out of everything that I had just said, which part did she find funny? Me threatening her or me getting angry?

“Now that's more like it, feel better now? Holly, I can tell you one thing, you and I are going to be great friends. You just told me off, not even caring that I could kill you right now and that shows me that you’re one bad ass b***h that’s not scared of anything. Welcome to the family, woman.” Cheyenne said, making me smirk.

“Yes, a lot better, thank you and I was already welcomed into the family, but thank you.” I replied, knowing that she had just helped me get back to myself instead of the insecure little wolf I was when she came back. We walked back up to the pack house and saw that all eyes were on us, but then Ace and Mercury came over to us.

“I’m glad you both are back, we thought that you either killed each other or had run off together.” Mercury said, hugging Holly as Ace did the same to me. Everyone started laughing as we sat down at the table and began digging into our food, but the whole time I felt like we were being watched and then the feeling just went away.
