Maureen POV
I need to get up and get organized. The injury and poison has been more severe than I originally thought; therefore, its taken me longer to heal and recuperate than I had hoped. Wyatt, with Brutus's guidance, has been working with Jax and brownie officials to oversee the end of the invasion, contain any prisoners, supply medical treatment, secure borders and portal access points.
Damn, it seems I missed a lot!!
I'm now dressed, sitting in a cushioned chair inside my room, and am pulling on my black boots so Wyatt and I can tour the brownie grounds. We need to speak with brownie officials and begin to make arrangements to return to our realm and pack lands.
Last night I received word on Chieftain Ioane Mahoe's condition, which was extremely serious yet has improved.
Well, one piece of good news to come out of this insanity, this attack and one which I'm sure will help Chieftain Mahoe's recovery is that he found his queen!!
Ebony!!
Ms. Debbie's niece!!
His QUEEN!!!
Her mate is the Chieftain of the Brownies!!!
Who would have thought.....a brownie and a wolf!!
I'm so happy for them!! I believe they will be a good fit together. Both are intelligent, caring, compassionate, protective. I wish only the best for their journey together.
"Ready love?" I hear Wyatt's soothing voice as he quietly enters my recovery room.
"Yes, ready. Let's go" I honestly answer as I gradually stand and slowly walk toward him, grabbing onto his outreached hand, lacing our fingers together. I may be up and moving about yet I'm not 100%.
Slowly...
Surely...
Along side my irreplaceable mate, we make our way to check the security issues then meet with Chieftain Mahoe with plans to head home afterward.

Meeting with Chieftain Mahoe
Wyatt and I carefully enter the Chieftain's personal bedroom, which is where he was placed as soon as he received the green light from the doctors of being out of danger. I was informed he insisted on freeing up a bed for others who were in need of medical attention. So, he moved to his private chambers while continuing his healing process. Now, that includes the company of his queen, Ebony!
When we enter his room after knocking, we immediately notice Ebony sitting at his bedside, holding his hand while he lays down, resting. She instantly turns her head, inspecting the new arrivals.
"Alphas" she respectfully states while carefully standing, never letting go of the Chieftain's hand.
A mate's closeness, touch accelerates the recovery advancement so hopefully he will be back on his feet soon with her by his side.
"Good afternoon to you both. How are you doing?" I gently ask them, looking from one to another.
Ebony carefully sits back down, still grasping his hand in hers, then leaning over to deliberately wipe Chieftain Mahoe's forehead with a damp cloth.
"We're both hanging in there. Taking it day by day. Worse than some, Better than others" he softly replies, closing his eyes, and taking a deep breath.
"He has a long road ahead but he will recover. We will of course continue to keep up with the kingdom while he heals, together."
She pauses and talks a shaky breath before continuing.
"Thank you so much for your assistance Alpha Maureen and Alpha Wyatt in this attack and its aftermath. I know when I originally arrived into this realm to fight I did not know about my mate. Now that I've found him and know just how close I came to losing him I am.....I am so grateful for you providing aid to him and his, well our, people" she genuinely conveys while tears slowly trickle down her cheeks.
Chieftain Mahoe gently gazing at her with a sad expression creasing his facial features, his own eyes misty with tears. Although his hand is tightly gripping onto hers, he gingerly brings her hand to his lips, lightly kissing it.
We stay for awhile longer, discussing the events leading up to him alerting us, specific individuals & groups involved, how we wish to handle prisoners, exit strategies, our strengthened alliance while keeping in mind Chieftain Mahoe's need to rest, hoping to not overexert him.
Wyatt and I purposely stand together to leave. I move toward Ebony for a hug while Wyatt approaches the chieftain to shake hands.
"We will be transporting back to our pack shortly. As discussed, we will be leaving some wolves here and will be regularly checking in. If at anytime you need anything do not hesitate to contact us. We wish you a speedy recovery. Goodbye Ebony, Chieftain Mahoe" I sincerely tell them.
**********
Wyatt and I quickly step through the portal, ready to be home!!
I am so relieved to be back!!
HOME!!
The familiar surroundings and scents calm me, especially after being away fighting then getting injured on top of everything!!
WAIT!!
I know that scent....
"Hello sweetheart! Glad to see you're home. We've been waiting for you. So.......this must be the mate I've heard so much about!"
"Dad!"
