Chapter 799
Trinity
“Well, Trinity, as lovely as this conversation has been, where are the boys? How come Zaley is the only one in here?” David was the second most baby obsessed among the group. His daughter was just a little younger than Reagan and Rika and they had yet to have another baby. I had a feeling that these little babies of mine were going to push him over the edge and make him talk Rawlynne into having another one. He was a good dad too, so I didn’t see a problem with him having as many kids as he and Rawlynne would want.
“Oh, they had some things that needed to get done. They will be back soon. And later today, Zaley will be going for some more tests. They were all small and needed extra care compared to other newborn babies, but they are still healthy. They will make it through it all. Right now, based on the time, I would estimate that the boys are in the nursery being fed and changed before they are brought back. Speaking of, they weren’t the only ones that were hungry.” I chuckled to myself a little as I stabbed a bite of my food and put it in my mouth.
“Ahh, yes, we did interrupt your lunch, didn’t we? I am so sorry, Queen Trinity.” Listening to Rudy, you would think that he had just personally done something wrong.
“It’s fine, it was just the timing. So, if none of you mind, I am going to eat during this little visit of ours. I need to keep up my strength after all.”
.....
“No, of course not, Trinity. You need to eat. We all understand.” Vincent encouraged me as he made a gesture like he was pushing something toward me through the air. It was almost like he was telling me that he was going to move the food closer, but it was already in position for me to eat. Well, I guess it was the thought, or gesture, that counts here.
“Good.” I grinned as I shoved another bite into my mouth.
For the next little bit, we talked about last night. How the delivery of the babies went. Our shock and excitement about the surprise baby. How we came up with the name. They were curious about it all. Which I found surprising, considering that they were men. But hey, they were like family so maybe it transcends gender and all that.
After I was done eating and the conversation was dwindling, I could smell the nurses coming back toward the room with the boys.
“Looks like your wait is over.” Reece spoke before I could. “The boys are almost back.”
“You already have their scents memorized.” Vincent smiled at Reece’s words. “That is good. You will no doubt be using that to tell them apart.”
“Yes, that is true. But I doubt many people will be memorizing their scents as much as us. And the scents are so similar that it’s hard to tell them apart. They will still trick people, I am sure of that.” Reece laughed mischievously. I could tell that he was going to help the boys with their future pranks.
A moment later, the door to my room opened up and a nurse named Ashely came in. She was followed by Grace and finally May, who had seemed to sleep here at the hospital and picked up an extra shift to care for us all.
“We’re back, I hope your happy to see the-..” May cut off mid sentence and was looking at the men in the room with a shocked look on her face.
This wasn’t a shocked look that said ‘oh no there are a bunch of scary people here’. No, this was an excitedly shocked face that told me two things.
“Yes, I am very happy to see them. However, May, I need to talk to you for a moment. Can you two give us a moment?” I spoke to the ladies that had helped bring the boys back to the room. They were human and needed to be away from the room for this next part of the conversation.
“Certainly, Mrs. Gray. Grace smiled at me and left the room with Ashley. I waited a moment for them to get further away from the room before I started to speak to May in a quiet voice. She was a wolf, so I knew that she would be able to hear me.
“So, May, I see that it happened.” I grinned. Reece and I had both spoken about love following me around. Last night and today. It had been something that I hadn’t expected to have happen right now, but I guess I knew that it was possible anyway.
“M..m..my Queen. I..I don’t know what is truly going on. I..I mean, th..this is such a shock.” I could understand that she was in shock. I mean, who would have thought that just over twelve hours after I talked to her about love she would find the mate that she had been waiting for. The only thing for me to figure out now was which of them it was.
“You know what is going on, May. Do not try to fool yourself or anyone else.” I grinned at her as I spoke, trying to sound regal and not be all giddy at the same time was not easy.
“Use your nose May. What is it telling you? What are you feeling? What do you think is happening right now?” Reece was trying to help her through this shock as well.
“W..w..well, my nose is saying that it has detected the most amazing scent in the world. It is a contradictory sort of smell, but it is calling out to me.”
“What is that smell? What are the components of it?” I had a feeling that Dietrich was just asking to sate his curiosity more than anything. He wanted to know what one of these two smelled like to their mate since to the rest of us, Rudy and Alexio smell of ashes, fire, and other things that reminded us all of Hell.
“Well, the person that my nose is detecting has something that smells like a match that had just been struck. That slight sulfurous scent that comes with it. However, along with the sulfur smell, there is incense. I can smell vetiver, clove, cypress and white fir. They’re all subtle though, so they aren’t overpowering. And there is also a slight scent of ashes, like these were all burned in some sort of campfire.”
“That is excellent, May. Now, who do you think this person is to you? I know that you know. You just need to stop lying to yourself.”
“I..I know that it’s my mate. B..but, Queen Trinity, how is this possible? H..how did I find him like this? How is he here now?” She was still in utter shock.
“Fate is a mysterious thing, May. Let us not question it too much, lest we anger it and incur its wrath rather than its bounty.”
“Y..yes, Queen Trinity, I think you are right. I should not question fate. I am just happy that you have blessed me so much, Queen Trinity. I know that if it weren’t for you, I would not have this opportunity.” She was praising me for this when it was fate that had caused it.
“She’s right, Trinity. They wouldn’t be in the same place at the same time if it weren’t for you.” Vincent looked at me, obviously knowing that I was denying that I had any part of it.
“Yeah, so stop those thoughts already.” Dietrich gave me a hard glare for a moment before instantly laughing.
“You truly are the reason we are here together, Queen Trinity. B..but, there is one thing that I would like to know.” May was still looking around the room as she spoke.
“And what is that?” I was confused for a moment since I didn’t know what else she wanted right now.
“I don’t know which man in this room is mine.” She blushed and smiled in her embarrassment just then.
“Ha ha ha. Yeah, that’s true. Well, it is one of two. Alexio, Rudy, please step forward.”
The two men did as they were told. I could tell right away which one of them it was. For one thing, Alexio was still looking like his grumpy self and seemed to be uninterested. Rudy on the other hand, he was staring at May like she was the answer to his prayers. Rudy was clearly May’s mate, and they were both very happy about it.
Now that there were only two men before her instead of seven, she was more easily able to see which man was hers. Her eyes were glued to Rudy as she smiled happily.
“May I take my seat again, Queen Trinity?” Alexio asked me in his disinterested voice.
“Yes, Alexio, go ahead.”
“H..hello there.” Rudy was walking closer to the woman in question. “My name is Rudy. A..and you are May, right? That’s what Queen Trinity said.”
“Yes, I am May. I..I am so happy to be meeting you.” They had gravitated toward each other and were even acting like they wanted to hold hands. This, here, looked like it was a pure and innocent romance budding between them. I can’t wait to see this relationship of theirs grow into something truly special. Though I couldn’t help but notice that Alexio was looking a little jealous. While the new couple spoke with each other for a moment, I spoke inside my head so that Alexio was the only one to hear me.
‘Do not lose hope, Alexio. Your day will come soon. I promise you that. Just be patient. They were fated to be together, and that means that there is someone out there fated to be with you too.’
‘I hope so, Queen Trinity. I really hope so.’ He answered me telepathically and hung his head. I could hear his sigh even though it was only internal. Just hold on, Alexio. I know that love is coming for you.
Rudy and May spoke for a little while longer and exchanged contact information. They made plans to go see each other soon, something that I knew would most likely happen sooner rather than later. And after all of that was done, the men got ready to leave. It was a good thing too, since the babies were getting fussy and Reece and I needed to take care of them.
“We will see you soon, Trinity. All of us will be back to escort you back home.” Vincent called out to me.
“That is too many people. We don’t need that.” I immediately vetoed his words.
“You will be traveling with four royal babies. It is actually not enough. However, I will let it slide with just us. See you soon.” He smiled and left the room before I could argue anymore. Well, he was a lot like Reece and Noah, wasn’t he? So overprotective.
