Rescuing His Captive Mate: Saving The Future Luna

After we had made all of our greetings, we were taken to a door along the side of the castle. It was just like the doors that were in the Fae castle and apparently function the same, according to Dad.

"I did not expect to see Fae magic here."

"Fae magic?" Mom asked him. "What makes you think that this is Fae magic?"

"These doors, they are not leading to actual rooms. Instead they will lead to a magical home like the ones back at the Fae compound."

"That they will." Gabriel smiled at his response. "Just go on inside, and it will make itself into a home that will suit you all whenever you are here. This is your personal residence for when you are here."

"We get our own residence here?" I was a little shocked to hear that.

"There will be other times that you are called here for visits, and we would like for you to be comfortable when you are here."

"OK." I was confused by Gabriel's wording, but I opened the door and entered the home we had been given.

As soon as I passed through the door, I felt the magic that was in the room. And the moment we went inside, I saw that we were in a house that was like a smaller version of our pack house back home.

As we walked through the space, I saw that there was more than enough space for us all. We took a little tour of the space with Uncle Griffin and Gabriel with us. There were twenty bedrooms and a nursery that was set up for both Brayden and Joden. There was a kitchen where we could prepare food, but we were invited to eat in the dining hall with everyone else as well. All in all, this place was perfect, and we were told that it would grow with us as we needed it to.

We didn't get to see Trinity and Reece that first night because they were busy, and there was a meeting with them right after breakfast the next day. Only Artem was allowed to go to that meeting though, which was a little sad for me. It would be fine though since Uncle Griffin was spending time with Doc, Leelin, Mom, Dad, me, and all of the kids.

We explored the castle and talked about different things while we waited for the meeting to be over. It was winter time here, and the kids had only ever seen snow that one time when Dad made magical snow fall for us all at home. They were enjoying it now though, running through the garden that was in the middle of the castle behind the throne room and towers. It was really nice, and we were all enjoying our time there.

After the group meeting that Artem attended, he came to see us with a shocked look on his face. I could tell that something had happened during the meeting that he hadn't expected.

"Artem, what's wrong?" I asked him with a worried tone to my voice.

"Trinity said that all Alphas are now nobles." He was shocked when he heard the words. "And she is part Fae as well."

"She is?" Dad was surprised to hear that. "No wonder there is Fae magic here." He was smiling. "I wonder who her lineage comes from?"

"I guess we will find that out later." I smiled. "This is just another thing that is connecting us."

Later that afternoon, actually it was almost evening time, we were called for the 'private' meeting with the Queen. She had been having these meetings with all of the nobles, but we were being called up last so that we could spend more time with her than the others. We were also supposed to be having dinner with them in the Royal Tower. That was going to be interesting as well.

As soon as we entered Trinity's office, I saw someone I didn't expect. Apparently so did Dad because we both said the same thing at the same time.

"Uncle Valerian?"

"Welcome." He smiled at us.

"What are you doing here?" Dad asked him with bewilderment.

"Can't I be here with my Gariníon?" [1]

"So Star, I see that you have met my Athair mòr." [2] Trinity smiled at me.

"I met him when I went to the Fae compound. He is Aunt Glory's brother."

"Yes, indeed he is our aunt's brother." I was so confused by her words right now.

"Wait a minute." I looked at Trinity with wide eyes. "Aunt Glory is your aunt as well? Does that mean that we're family?"

"Yes. Valerian here is my great great great grandfather." She looked at him and smiled after she spoke.

"I found out that my son fathered a child of his own before he passed away. A son that he didn't even know about. And now, I have a family of my own." Uncle Valerian was smiling so happily. I couldn't believe my eyes; when I had met him before he had seemed so angry and sad.

"I'm so happy for you guys." I could feel the love bubbling up within me.

"Uncle Valerian, this is amazing. It looks like we both found our long lost family." Dad was grinning as he went to his uncle and hugged him.

We now had something more to talk about with Trinity and Reece. We were related, we were cousins, and that meant that our children were family as well.

"I can't believe that I have family in your pack twice over." I laughed at the craziness of it all. "Oh, doesn't this mean that Acacia is related to both of us as well?" I smiled at Trinity.

"It does. And that makes one of my best friends family to me because of it."

"This is amazing. So much family, so much love to go around. We should visit Acacia while we're here. She needs to meet my mom since she is here now."

"Yes, I saw that. Griffin must be so happy to learn that his sister is alive. It is wonderful to meet you, Vivian. I would have considered you family just because of Griffin, but you are also the mother of my cousin so that makes you even more a part of my family."

"Oh, uhm, th..th..thank you Q..Qu..Qu..Queen Trinity." Mom's nervousness caused us all to laugh.

"It's OK Mom, Trinity is a friend as well as the Queen. You don't need to be so nervous." I tried to calm her.

"No, Star, you can't be too familiar." Her face was pale, but her cheeks were bright red with embarrassment. It was like she was scared and embarrassed at the same time.

"She's right, Vivian. When we're here alone like this, it's OK to treat me like a friend. There is no one else around to see how we treat each other."

"O..o..oh O..OK." Mom looked even more nervous now, if that were even possible.

While we were talking and discussing what was going on, Brayden began to show just how tired he was of this situation.

"Mama play." His words cut through all of the talking that was going on around him.

"I know honey; you're bored." I took him from Artem who had been carrying him.

"I see you have two now as well. Congrats on the new little boy." Trinity got to her feet and walked toward me. "Would you like to meet my twins now." She smiled at me. "Do you want to play with your cousins?" She reached a hand toward Brayden who grabbed onto it with a smile.

"Play."

After that, we were taken to the Royal Tower, and the main living room and sitting room combination. Trinity's mom and mother-in-law brought the twins in, and I set Brayden down. Mom also set Sage down who was able to walk now as well. The four little ones looked at each other with smiles while the very large group of us watched on. Reagan and Rika, Trinity and Reece's twins, made the first move by walking toward the others.

I was happy to see that all of the little ones were getting along. We were able to enjoy a nice evening together and talk about everything that had happened over the past year and a half since we last saw each other. Uncle Valerian was even very excited to learn about all the new nephews he had. He enjoyed talking to all of my boys from the seventeen year old, Julian, down to eight year old, Dalton.

It was such an amazing visit that I wished it could have lasted longer; however, we would be back. Artem, even though our pack was small, had been made into a High Noble because of the dedication he had shown to his people. This meant we were responsible for governing all the other wolf packs in our area and coming back to the castle every three months to deliver information and get the new royal orders. This also meant we would have plenty of opportunities to see our family, and the kids would all get to know each other. That was such an amazing thing.

After just two nights in the castle, it was time for us to go home. We flew back on the private plane Reece had lent to us and were back in time to throw Brayden's first birthday party. I admit, we might have gone overboard on the party just a little bit.. Oh well, it was hard to stop Artem sometimes, and I was really excited as well.
