The Hidden King and I Chapter 54
Ash's point of viewI carry my girl through the doors of the hospital before sitting her down in one of the chairs in the waiting room, kissing the top of her head as I say."I'm just going to go and sign you in, baby."She leans her head back against the chair as she nods her head.I head over to the desk where I give her name and a brief description of what's been going on with her, minus the Vampire part; of course, if they need to know, I will speak to a doctor, not a receptionist.When a bed is found in a maternity ward, I find a wheelchair and help her to sit down before we follow the nurse down a long corridor.The nurse on the ward checks her in before she shows us to a room; she places a hospital gown on the empty bed as she says."If you want to get changed into a gown, one of the doctors will be here to see you soon."She closes the door before leaving the room, and I help Anna out of the wheelchair; she is so weak that she doesn't even try to stand up as I lift her out of
The Hidden King and I Chapter 55
Ash's point of view.After Dr Fallon leaves the room, one of the the nurses comes in to get Anna prepared for her scan. Thankfully she is already wearing a hospital gown, so it's mainly just transferring her onto a trolley to take her down to the scan room.When we get there, Anna doesn't have the energy to get up onto the table, and I lift her up as she puts her head on my shoulder, her eyes wide as she looks around the room.I Whisper quietly to her. "Everything will be okay, baby."The nurse pulls me behind a screen as the scanner moves over Anna; she looks so tiny lying on that table, so small and so helpless as the massive scanner passes over her.And all I can do is watch from behind a screen; I can't even hold her hand.When the scan is over, I carry Anna back to her room, she is clearly exhausted, and I don't want to wait around for a hospital porter to get her back to her room.I kiss the top of her head as I lay her down on the bed before covering her up and pulling a chair
The Hidden King and I Chapter 56
Ash’s point of view.I hold her in my arms as we make the journey back to Eden Forest, once again praying that the high Witch can save Anna’s life. I think back to our last visit and how the Witches sacrificed The Vampire King’s life to reverse the Vampire curse.I will give my life for this woman if I have to; I will sacrifice myself for my woman and child, The child that Anna has so desperately longed for, for so many years, I will do whatever it takes to keep them both alive.The journey seems to take forever, even though it's barely a couple of hours. I spent the trip looking at her pale face and my thumb placed on her wrist so that I could keep checking her pulse.I've never been so frightened in all of my life. If I thought the last journey we made to the forest was terrible, it's nothing compared to this one, at least the last time she was conscious and talking.This is terrifying….We finally pull over at the boundary of the forest, Bear opens the door for me, and I climb out
The Hidden King and I Chapter 57
Ash’s point of view.We walk towards the clearing in the dense forest, where the Eden stone sits in the middle lit up by the gentle glow of the moonlight; I place Anna down on the rock kissing her forehead as I whisper.“Don't you dare leave me, baby? You have to come back to me. We are meant to be you and I and this baby. We were meant to be a family.”Ophelia nods her head as I step away from Anna; she looks up to the sky as she begins to chant; before the rest of the Witches join in and Darius’s pack of wolves' howl into the night sky.I look up to the moon as I whisper. “Please help us, moon Goddess.”The wind begins to pick up around the clearing, whipping past our face as the swirls of light join with the wind. Maybe one day I could come here and appreciate just how beautiful this sight is, but right now, I'm too worried over Anna and our baby to truly appreciate anything. The moonlight travels around us before it begins swirling around Anna, and the moon Goddess in all her be
The Hidden King and I Chapter 58
Ash's point of view.Bear pulls me away, and we walk towards the door; turning around one last time as I take a look at my sleeping beauty. It goes against all my instinct to leave her behind, and It takes all my strength to walk away from her. But I have to to save her and our unborn child.I feel as though my heart is being pulled apart; I've only just found her, and now here I am, about to leave her behind.It's the hardest thing that I've ever had to do…..I take a deep breath when we get outside. Bear puts his arms around me as he says."You can do this, lad; just think of that sweet woman of yours and that precious child that she carries; this is not forever Son."I sigh, nodding my head as I reply. "I know it's just so fucking hard."Bear looks down at me as he says."I know, Son, but we have to find that Gem and save them both; come on, let's get back to the jeep so that we can make our way to the bunker. Darius and his pack will protect them; it's the safest place for them he
The Hidden King and I Chapter 59
Ash's point of view.I have no idea what time I finally crawl into bed, but I do manage a few hours of restless sleep; it's amazing what a bottle of whisky can do.When I wake up in the morning, Bear, of course, is already up. I honestly don't think this man sleeps at all, but then again, after last night, I can imagine his nights are filled with his own nightmares.You don't realise how much losing someone close to you can affect you until it happens to you. I've always respected Bear for being the man he is, but last night that respect grew much further. To pick yourself up and carry on after such a devastating loss shows you the kind of man he is. I couldn't do it.He looks up when I walk into the kitchen."Morning, Son, how's the head?"I half-heartedly chuckle as I reply. "Surprisingly well, considering the amount we drank last night."Bear grins as he says. "Yeah, but at least we both managed to get a couple of hours of sleep in."I laugh. "Yeah, I guess that's a bonus."He pus
The Hidden King and I Chapter 60
Ash’s point of viewFuck! Where do I start…I clear my throat before I say. “I know I've told you that we need to find this dragon heart stone, but there's a bit more to it than just that.”Dylan nods his head. “Yeah, I know, we need to find the stone so that we can save Anna and the baby"I put my hand on his shoulder as I say. “Yeah, but the reason we need to get that stone is because Anna is carrying a Dragon Shifter heir, and for her to be able to continue her pregnancy safely, then we need the blessing of the stone.”Dylan's chin drops to the floor, and he goes to speak, but no words come out; I chuckle as I say.“Yeah, I know it's kind of crazy. I met the Moon Goddess today, and I found out that I am a Dragon Shifter.”“A What?” Dylan asks as Bear mumbles. “A Royal Dragon shifter.”I Laugh. “Yeah, A Royal Dragon Shifter, and today I also found out that my parents gave me away when I was born to keep me safe as the Kingdom of the Dragons was under threat from the Underworld. I wa
The Hidden King and I Chapter 61
Ash’s Point of view. My little brother is far too mature for his age; I smile as I watch him with Bear, the man who I will always think of as a father figure, the same man that has now taken my younger brother under his wings, just as he did with me all those years ago. I smile as I wonder If I’ll ever get used to saying that—my Little Brother. This also leads me to another dilemma, though. Do I take my younger brother to war with me? It's so easy to forget that this lad is only twelve years old. The strength and power that he holds more than rivals any man. Damn, the lad gave me the toughest fight of my life. I could undoubtedly use his strength as we take down the underworld, but he's just a child, and who knows what horrors we will face? God, I wish I could talk to Anna right now; she would know what to do. My heart breaks as I think of her. I miss her so much. I know that it's only been a couple of days, but it feels as though a part of me is missing, and it hurts so mu
