many. Tess and her mate have lived there these past decades, and their children have come to mean so much to me. Draco can be found flying over the castle, and the unicorns are there as well. They have repopulated and we have a whole new generation of them.” Elizabeth grinned at the antics of the brownies as they chased after the wolves that were running through their work. “Most of the children that are of Aaron’s kiss have been there as well. Some have even decided to stay on to help with the magic there.”
“It will still be there.” Elizabeth nodded and felt a small nudge of something. It took her moments to realize it was Kim, the girl.
“She’s in trouble.” Looking at Rythen, she could see that he knew as well. “If I release you to go to her, what will you do?”
“Kill him.” Elizabeth looked out the window. “You’ll not release me to go to her? She is my mate.”
Elizabeth finished her conversation with Aaron before answering. “I’ve sent Aaron. He’ll make sure that she is all right. And he’ll take her back to his home to ensure that she has nothing else happen to her.”
“I need to see her. Not that I think Aaron won’t do as you wish, but I need to see her.” Elizabeth moved toward the door as Rythen yelled for her to stop. “You’re doing this as revenge, aren’t you? I have news for you, whether or not you let me go, you are still going to leave this life. I cannot change that.”
“I’m well aware of what you plan to do. But releasing you now would harm the balance between Molavonta and the humans. She will be safer, as will the others that would be close to her, if you are not released on them. Not yet at any rate. You will need to calm a good deal more before we can have you loose.” She moved out of the door and into the hallway with him still screaming at her. It had to be the hardest thing she’d ever done.
By the time she made it to the hospital, Kim was already in surgery. Elizabeth thought about going back to get Rythen, but decided that he’d still use his considerable magic, and it just couldn’t be done. Not with all the humans around. Aaron took her to the front desk.
“They need someone to be responsible for her.” Elizabeth nodded. “I know that you and she are close, but right now I’m not able to do this without harming a few people.”
His beast had risen , and Elizabeth put her hand to his heart to calm him. When he nodded to her, she turned to speak to the nurse. There were papers that needed to be signed and insurance information to be given. The doctor was coming toward her when Elizabeth was finishing that up.
“I’m sorry , but she’s had some extensive trauma done to her body. I’ve treated her before and she never let on that it was the boyfriend. A fall here or a mugging once. But this time he…well, he has hit her with something that I can only surmise to be more than his fists. The damage done to her….” He looked away, and Elizabeth was frightened. “If she makes it through the night, she will have a better chance, but….”
“Logan, I need for you go to the castle and bring Rythen here. Tell him to behave or I will not allow him to help Kim. She is dying.” Logan said he’d be there in seconds, and Elizabeth looked at the doctor. “The man who hit her isn’t a boyfriend but an ex-lover. She had left him for someone else a while ago, and I guess he didn’t take it as well as we’d hoped.”
“Where is she?” Elizabeth shook her head at Rythen when he stood just to her right. The doctor looked startled but said nothing. Rythen turned to him. “Where is she, and when can I see her?”
The doctor walked away when Elizabeth told him to with her mind. There was no point in everyone hearing what she had to say. When Rythen started to follow, she took his arm. “You’ll calm down or so help me I’ll have Aaron change her, and he’ll own your ass too. She will need you to be calm as well. Take some deep breaths
