FORBIDDEN

Ch 93 Sted fast!

The direction our paths faced had taken a different turn after the l Sebastian and I received the letter from Luke Seb's old Beta. We couldn't yet be sure of his old beta's real intention just, however, But the fact that we now knew where my father had run off to made it pretty clear we needed to get things under control and out in the open once and for all.

The moment we arrived in the dining hall that night with the news Nick and the rest stood in total surprise, revealing in the fact that all of our checkpoints never reported my father in passing so either we have shit for checkpoints or someone let him pass. Then again River had pointed out he has been around old magic most of his existence so there is a fine chance he knows a little magic.

regardless we needed to act fast, my mother knew of his ill plot, but did he know she was alive or at least here, would he have gone so far had he of know. Only one way to tell and that meant I'd be meeting her a lot sooner then I wanted.

my kids heavily guarded in a new room of the castle for safe measure, as I and the boys gathered again early this morning to send out three men to replay our message to Luka.

two wolves would accompany a vampire loyal to Victor deliver the message we had prepared and then return back, keeping there guard up for anyone following them.

if this was a trap we needed to find out the weak points in their plans and fast.

The letter had shaken some things up for us for sure. If this in fact was a truce then well we had no reason to fight anyone other then my father and the plan was pretty solid. let him come back here escorted of course reveal my mother to him and see what happens from that point on. maybe knowing we are all alive and there is no reason to fight or have a war then perhaps it was over.

but the worse case still played out in my head. no matter what we told or showed my father his haterade for me was still there that maybe not even my mother could cure. Perhaps she was in on it too. or she was the one who began this whole thing at this point what I knew to be true was changing at every turn.

Victor once wanted me dead now he is my lover, this war that was so massive to bring down was somehow a small misunderstanding and a battle of broken hearts or sore egos.

I was gaining friends over foes with each breath, yet I didn't feel relieved in the matter.

who else wanted to lay claim to our lands or homes or reading. After all, Victor has been a long-lived vampire and some are still out there thinking he is a terror vs a lord who is loving and kind. well at least to me he is.

The guys all have a part to play in all this now and I stand here staring out into the lands that surround us I imagine the fun freedom we can all have to a better life if this so-called "war" was to stop all at once magically.

Where does that leave me am I still the one who saves us all, and what the hell am I saving us all from exactly. I never knew really and now I sure as heck can't quite make heads or tails of it.

I watch the grassy fields blowing with the slightest of breeze standing waiting for the messengers to return with news. the wind never felts so sweet as the changing of summer slowly into fall. Here is never winter, but this season we might allow a small moment for everyone to enjoy.

"What are you thinking about, sweetheart" Peter's voice breaks my thoughts.

"Nothing really, just hoping our plan works."

"It shouldn't fail if that's of any comfort to you," his voice soft and sweet with a little chuckle.

"How so."

"well, for what it is worth, things are going to be revealed, truces made and the evil taken down regardless of what or who that installs in the end it will all be over with and hopefully then we can get back to just living our lives the way we wish it" his sweet voice whispering in my ear with the last words as his hands rest along my arms embracing me to him. His lips finding the sweet spots of my skin as he kisses me.

"but there is something else, isn't there" he mumbles kissing the back of my head

"yes, there always is," I smirked.

"what is it"

"meeting her; it wasn't what I expected."

"no, how so, sweetheart."

"she was colder then I thought, and I don't mean in body temp I mean the moment she knew it was me from the cave it was like, I,... I don't know like she hated that I didn't tell her or something, but I didn't even know."

"I see," is all he said listening to me explain the night before encounter with my mother.

"Peter, you didn't feel it even River linked me feeling her distance for me," I told him

"Darling, we all felt something different, yes, but we couldn't say with that was, seeing as it has been a long time since any of us had seen her, perhaps it was the sudden shock of it all or what to make of it," he said making it seem like I should giver her more time.

"Peter, what if my father comes back to see her, what if they are in it together, how in the world can I have two shitty parents."

"darling, I think you are jumping the gun on that one, lets see what plays out first we will handle whatever it is that comes," reassuring me, his face finds the crease of my neck where my shoulders meet hidding his face into me he kisses me again his arms fully around me holding me against in as we stand together in front of the window, peering out I continue my dazzling off into the fields.

Peters's comfort is welcomed at this moment. it has been far too long since I have had his embrace hold me. Our bond is beyond words not even the bonds of the others can compare to his. But each of them holds me differently, loves me differently and even stands with me differently all of which I value and have come to love differently.

"What are we going to do if it works" I whisper

"Well then, I guess Christmas will be a thing to remember."

I laugh making light of his words, yes if in fact, things work out our family holidays will be quite the reunion. I grin feeling his gentle lips hovering over my delicate skin warming it with each breath only to cool it again with his touch.

"perhaps, love, we shouldn't stand around worrying over things we can't control; perhaps we should enjoy each other's company instead," his lips caressing my shoulders, kissing me delicately as he links those very words to me.

my head leaning back a slight sigh leaving my lips as I feel his hands caress me lower pressing me into him, letting his hard body press right back into me. I sigh again with his caresses.

"its been far too long, my love!! I miss you," linking me again he tells me

" I miss you too, Peter," I whisper back

a slight grow leaving his lips as his teeth nip my right shoulder.
