The Last Royal Luna
(Book 2) – Chapter 14

‘Ryder…Ryder…RYDER!’ Blue yelled but before I could respond my body heated up to where it felt like needles were being shoved under my skin. Oh no… This must be the heat. I could hear Blue panting and whining in my head as my knees hit the ground. My vision went blurry from the heat my body was producing. I could feel my need growing and it wasn’t even for just my mates. I just needed someone to touch me or maybe hope into someone’s deep freezer for a bit. My mates surrounded me worried before they get hit with the scent first and their eyes start to glow. We can’t do this here. Please realize the same thing guys.

“f**k. Ryder. Your heat! We have to get out of here.” Asher yelled looking at Roger. He nodded and starting to shift as he ran at the vampires with Trevor to give us time to get out of here but I was not leaving them behind.

I took a few deep breaths before focusing on the section where the vampires who were preparing to attack us were standing. I could hear their heart beating and the b***d running their veins. I shove my powers toward them all shoving the b***d out through any hole it can reach like their eyes, nose, and ears. They start screaming but I am in so much pain that I can barely process what they are saying.

I look up to see everyone staring at the vampires before smiling feeling b***d running down from my nose. “They were on my f*****g nerves. I have several days of pain in my future and I would like to do that in private.” I growl out which makes everyone’s head turn toward me almost quick enough to break their necks. “What? Oh.. so b***d manipulation is one of my powers. We can deal with it later. Roger I need these vampires to come back with us. No dungeon but protective housing that goes both ways until we can vet the rest of them. Charles and Edgar excluded. Edgar will have to be with us since he is a mate accepted or not. Charles can help with keeping other males out.” I pant out gasping every few words. I glare at him when he tries to get closer. With his eyes glowing and knowing he was unmated I knew he would jump me in a heartbeat. Trevor was holding him back and just nodded at him before shoving him back toward where they parked their car. Good decision, Beta.

“Send the rest of your clan with the Alpha. They will make it there. They are parked about half a mile that way.” Andrew told Edgar as he picked me up bridal style. “You and Charles follow us to our car.” He didn’t wait for an answer before carrying me toward our car.

I could feel Andrew’s body touching mine and it helped in just those spots. “Please someone help. Melissa, please.” I g*****d out.

“I am right here, Ryder. As soon as we get to the car I will do the spell.” She yelled from behind us.

“No one is doing a spell on my mate!” Edgar growled out. Geez that was hot. Stop it. It is the heat talking.

“It’s a spell to make sure Ryder doesn’t get pregnant, and you don’t get to claim her until she wants you too. It may be a while since you acted like such an a*s tonight.” Melissa argued. Somebody was getting better at letting the anger out and defending herself.

The spell has Melissa holding onto Alistair who had stayed back with the cars in case we needed back up or a quick getaway. She is taking some of his strength to use with the spell to make it strong enough to deal with multiple mates and my royal b***d. Great thinking on her part but I hate that it will leave both of them drained. The guys have Charles driving with Edgar in the front passenger seat. I am in the very back with three of my mates while I am laying on top of their legs. The other two are squished in beside Melissa. All their eyes are glowing and I am doing my best to hold back my scent but it seems like I am failing.

“Ryder this is going to hurt. I know your are already in pain but this will bring it to the next level so be prepared to pass out.” Melissa said this as a statement but I knew it was a question on if I wanted to proceed. I nodded at her and closed my eyes.

I heard her start to speak in another language and before long I could feel what she was talking about. It felt like someone was taking a knife to my ovaries while sucker punching me in my v****a. s**t. I felt my body tensing up and I heard my guys yelling at Melissa. She was holding her own when I passed out. I was ok with it because the pain went away.

I woke up a few times on the drive back home but was only up for a few minutes before the pain took me back out. I could feel hands all over me when I woke up and that helped so much with the pain. I felt bad for the girls with one mate if this is how they felt. I did wonder though if my pain was worse since I had more mates. I hoped that it didn’t last longer for that same reason and I prayed the spell worked. I would love a kid right now but I can’t be out of this fight.

At one point when I woke up I heard Melissa talking to Alistair about how she felt when her heat had happened. I forgot she went through it. She mentioned they took precautions against getting pregnant. I wonder if it worked for her and I need to ask how often these damn heat spells happen. One day we would have little pups running around together while we sat and talked crap on our mates. Thinking of the future helped keep my mind busy when I was up. I knew as soon as we hit our room all bets were off. I wonder how Edgar was going to handle it. I could feel the black pushing back so I let it take me back to nothingness.
