The Female Marine

Chapter 11

Ava's P.O.V

"Who are you exactly?" I ask the man. He smiles and gently laughs. He glides down the big marble staircase and stands directly in front of us. "I am Royal Carmon" he tells me. Cade leans close to my ear, "He seems a little cocky". I nod and return to the man. "And, what exactly do you want with us?" Mason asks. The man called Royal rolls his eyes and gives an irritated sigh. "Tsk,Tsk,Tsk, no no no, that's boring, let me give you a tour". I look at the boys and they give me a "I guess" look. I sigh and agree. "Great" he says and claps his hands together. He beckons us to follow him down the hall.

After about an hour we've made a full circle back to the first room we were in. "So, did you like it?" he asks. I roll my eyes, "Yeah, so much fun". He laughs, "Oh come on, you loved it". I shake my head, "Look, can you please tell us why we're here?" Ace says, annoyed. Royal sighs and nods, beckoning us to follow him once again. "What's up with all the following people around here?" Justin says. I snort, "I know, it's like twitter headquarters". They laugh as we turn the corner into a big room filled with old books and scrolls. Royal stand in the middle of the room and thrusts his arms out, "This," he gestures to the big room, "is The Keep.The place were we store all of history ever recorded, from the beginning of time to the end. We know everything about everything..........or so we thought". I shake my head, "What do you mean?". He gives us a grim look, "A long time ago, even before the dinosaurs, there was the Ethereal Source. The power to create mankind. Somewhat like God but was more present. It......experimented, if you will, with different species by mixing their genes together to create hybrids. And one of those experiments succeeded. It was of course, the Lycan. The Lycan was the current most dominate species. Even when the dinosaurs were created, the Lycan went into hiding, their presence unknown" he paused for breath. "Then, around the times of King Arthur, a prediction came to be. It was made by the most trusted witch in all of the Kingdoms, Greta. She said that there would be a time when the true would fall to the false, but rise with the help of the hated. She said that there would be the chosen three, two of a Lycan, one of a hated. They would unite after many hardships, that they could be our saviors. But......there was a catch.........sadly I can not tell you that part, but be warned, be ready for anything" He stops and looks at us. Silence fills the room for a big period of time. Finally I speak, "What the, excuse my language, fuck does that mean?". He shakes his head, "The prediction won't happen for at least 2 years, but............we all know who they are, the chosen three" he looks at me. I nod my head. "Where are they?" he asks. "Jackson, the silver rouges, they should be here soon" I say. I'm not entirely sure how I know that but I just have a gut feeling about it. "Very well" he says and starts pacing around the room.

After a few minutes the doors burst open and two loud growls fill the room. The brown and black wolves run over to me and practically knock me over. They lick and nuzzle me, whining to be pet. "Okay guys, shift back now okay?" I tell them wiping the slobber off my face. I look back and standing there are my two lovely mates. Kathe runs forward and embraces me into a very passionate kiss, and after him so does Athan. "Okay guys, we're done with the make-out show" Cade says. I laugh and punch him playfully. "Great, now the chosen three are here. I'm afraid I have bad news" He tells us, looking directly at me and my mates. "Go on" Kathe says as if he knows what's going on. "The prediction, like I said, won't happen for at least two years, and in the meanwhile, we will have to protect you" he says, beginning to look nervous. "Yeah" I say, signaling for him to continue. He sighs, "Boys, this will hurt, and you won't want to agree but you must understand that this is for the best" they brace for impact as he takes a deep breath, "I suggest that it would be best for Ms.Ava to stay here with me for the time being". The boys growl and grip me very protectively. "Fuck no" Athan says. "We have the best security in all the land, and I promise that we will protect her. I'll protect her with everything that I have, I promise" he pleads. Kathe gives Athan a look that suggests he agrees with Royal. Athan shakes his head, "This is crazy, we're leaving her? Do you know how crazy that sound?". He starts shaking and I pull him into a tight embrace. "I know this hurts, I know it does a lot. But you have to understand that he's right, no matter how you think, I'll be safe here. I love you both so much,and boys, take care of my boys okay?" I laugh. They all nod and gather into a big group hug. "I love you" we whisper and then they leave. An aching pain inside my chest grows stronger with every second their gone. I feel a hand on my shoulder and the pain slightly subsides. "It'll be okay" Royal tells me, pulling me to his chest. I wrap my hands around him and cry. I cry for a long time, it could've been hours, I don't know. But there is one thing that I'm sure of. He stayed there the whole time. Royal stayed there with me, letting me cry my eyes out in his white silk shirt and was probably one of my best friends.
