"Where the hell is she?!
" I yelled at the shining rectangle that was the door. It had closed behind my Little Bunny after she left us here. How could she just leave like that? How could she do this to me?
"Trinity!
" I yelled at the door.
"Trinity!
"
nI had tried to follow her several times after she disappeared, only to be thrown back several times until the door shut. I was frantic, scared and lost without her here with me. Right now, I was on my knees in front of the door, hoping and praying that she was going to come back to me sometime soon.
n
"Trinity.
" I pounded the floor with my fist as I said her name.
"Trinity. Trinity.. Trinity.
"
n
"Reece!
" I heard Vincent's voice call out to me, but I ignored him.
n
"Trinity.
"
n
"REECE!
" He yelled at me again but this time he grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back.
n
"What?!
" I shouted at him.
n
"Pull yourself together, Reece.
"
n
"How can I? She's gone. She disappeared.
"
n
"You're a King! You're too smart and strong to let yourself become like this!
" He was yelling at me still, telling me that I needed to stop my blubbering. That made me angry.
n
"Really, Vincent? Really? You're the captain of her guard and you let her disappear like that.
" I threw the words at him, trying to hurt him, even though I knew it was childish behavior.
n
"Yeah? You want to go there? You're the great Warrior King that she praised so much. You're her mate and her number one defender. How could you let her disappear like that?
" I could clearly see that he was a wreck as well, doing his best to hold it all together.
n
"Oh, no you-.
"
n
"Shut up! Both of you.
" Trevor yelled at us, cutting me off and breaking up our bickering.
n
"Who the hell do you think you are?
" I asked him with an angry expression.
n
"I'm the future King of the Fae. That's who the ** I think I am. And since this is the land of the Fae, that means that I outrank you. So shut up, Odie.
" I felt the fight start to slip away from me and a hint of laughter tried to creep up in me. He just **ing called me a dog. Damn him.
n
"Haha, that's funny. They were fighting like two stupid dogs. It even fits the show, big dog and little dog.
" Landon, who felt like he needed to join in on the fun.
n
"Shut up, Garfield.
" I snapped at him, making Landon the opposite of what Trevor called me.
"You and Yogi here need to stop with this bull**.
" It was a lost cause now though. I was laughing even though I really shouldn't be.
n
"No, Dino, you need to stop with the bull**.
" Trevor snapped at me, a smile on his face as well.
"Yeah, I get that you're worried, but Trinity is the most powerful person that any of us know. If she can't handle herself over there, then we would all be doomed. I for one, have faith in my Queen.
"
nHis words hit me hard. I knew he was right. As hard as it was, I needed to admit that my wife, my tiny little fragile looking wife, was stronger than me. The only person who could go through that door was her because of the power that she wields. I had to accept that and just wait for her.
nBut it was hard waiting, dammit. I wanted her to come back right now. I needed to see her and know that she was OK. I didn't like having to wait like this.
n
"Have you calmed down now?
" Vincent asked me when I was quiet for a little bit.
n
"Yeah, I think I am.
" I looked him in the eyes and thought about what it was that I had said to him.
"I'm sorry, Vincent. I know that it wasn't your fault that she disappeared.
"
n
"I am sorry as well. I guess we are both just a little bit stressed from this situation.
" He grimaced as he thought about the way that we were fighting.
n
"More than a little stressed.
" I chuckled but the sound died out too quickly.
"We just need to wait here for her. I am sure that she will be back soon. And when I get her alone, I'm going to-.
"
n
"None of us need to know about your kinky pleasures. So, please spare us the details.
" Trevor laughed at me as he spoke.
n
"I don't know, I think I might want some details. Being unmated is lonely.
"
n
"Well tough, I won't be giving any of you intimate details that have to do with my sex life.
" I snapped at them.
n
"Enough, all of you, please.
" Rahim cut across the bickering.
"I believe that the door is opening again.
" He was pointing at the door that was indeed changing.
n
"Is she coming back?
" Vincent asked.
n
"I hope so.
"
nWe all stepped back away from the door to allow Trinity to come out easily. I watched with bated breath as the door seemed to swing open with nothing more than light creating the substance. When the door was finally opened, I could see shadows on the other side. There were three shadows.
nEither Trinity was on her way back with more people, or this wasn't my wife and mate coming back to me. I hoped it was the former because if it wasn't my Little Bunny then that would mean that something bad had happened to her.
nI waited with bated breath for the people on the other side of the door to come through to this side. Slowly, the three figures, two small and one taller, made their way through the door.
nThe first thing that I saw was my Trinity, she was safe and sound, and didn't look like she was hurt at all. I started to move toward her, but I wasn't quick enough, someone else beat me to her side.
n
"Oh, thank the Goddess! Trinity, I am so glad you're safe.
"
nVincent had his arms wrapped around my wife as he hugged her in relief.
n
"Ahem.
" I cleared my throat behind him, kindly asking him without words if I could hug my mate now.
n
"Sorry.
" He stepped away and gave me access to her.
n
"Trinity.
" I said my Little Bunny's name as I wrapped my arms around her for a hug and lifted her off her feet.
"I was so **ing worried about you. Please don't ever do that again.
"
n
"I was fine, Reece. And I might have solved the case.
"
nHer words threw me for a loop. She might have solved the case? Did that mean that she had found the men that we were looking for?
nI sat her down and looked at the men that were behind her. One of them was covered in so much blood that if it was his he would be dead. I didn't see a wound though, so that was confusing for me.
n
"Who are these two?
" I asked her, feeling the need to protect her but she wouldn't let me push her behind me.
n
"Well, these are Alloy and Sterling, and they have an interesting story about what has happened recently.
"
nTrinity began to tell us everything that happened while she was on the other side of the door. I knew that she never trusted Hibiscus and I didn't want her to be taken in by a story just because of that. I decided to have Vincent listen to them speak their side of it all so that he could judge them for me.
n
"They are not lying to us.
" He clearly looked relieved. He had been unable to get a read on Hibiscus, so I know that he was glad to not have that problem this time.
n
"That means she was lying to us.
" I couldn't believe it. I had been taken in because Queen Gloriana fully believed in Hibiscus's innocence.
n
"There is a lot that we need to figure out back in the city, Reece. I say we leave immediately.
