Remy shrugged. " Like I said, I don't know. I am pretty sure every species was affected at one point or another, but it was mostly the Dragons on the island."
Kodi growled. "I don't understand, then. She was a good person. If she was a White witch, she was a good person, even with her magic. How can something so dark take control of her?"
Lykos raised his hand. "I think what Remy is trying to say is that it does not matter what kind of person you are. This dimension can take hold of all people, anyone and everyone, and it all seems to be for a certain reason, though that reason is unknown. You said Kaida was taken before all of her mates were bonded?"
Remy nodded. "She was only mated to Beckett then."
"Could it be something along those lines? Someone who is not mated?" Lykos asked.
"I could ask Kaida, but unfortunately, I know nothing on my own. I haven't heard from her since she became the Queen of the Dragons."
Kodi narrowed his eyes at her. "You are friends with the Dragon Queen?"
Remy rolled her eyes, "Why is everyone stuck on that? I am friends with someone of every species! The benefit of being on that island is that you can rub elbows with all kinds of people. I don't care if they are different from me. I am friends with whoever treats me with respect. Those girls can wipe the floor with anyone I know and would put their lives on the line for me if the situation deemed necessary! So shut the fuck up about that small fact. We have bigger problems than that right now."
Tala laughed and squeezed Remy's shoulder, "I am with Remy. Things are too up in the air right now with our kingdom to be worried about something so trivial. Remy, what else can we expect?"
Remy leaned her head back and groaned, "I have no damn clue. I wish I knew. This is getting to be so ridiculous. I have too much shit happening right now with myself!"
"Yeah, being mated to one person and rejected by another," Lykos said under his breath.
Remy growled. "Dad!"
"You were rejected by someone again?" Kodi asked with a hint of a growl in his voice.
She glared at him. "It was Myles who rejected me. Couldn't handle the fact he would have to share."
Tala gasped. "What do you mean to share? What the hell happened on this trip of yours? You two go away for a little while, and you come home with the child I presumed was dead, tell me there is a Dark Dimension infecting people of our kingdom, and now that Remy has multiple mates?!"
Remy smiled at her mother, "Welcome to our world, Mom. It was just as ridiculous to us as it sounds."
Remy and Lykos launched into a play-by-play of their trip. Tala and Kodi listened intently and didn't make a sound or try to ask questions. Remy felt her bond with Chase come alive, almost like he was near again. She wanted to leave the room to find him but didn't want to bring any attention to it. Lykos did most of the talking, and Remy filled in the gaps when he left something out or if the situation happened to her. Kodi and Tala snarled when she got to the part about Myles and then Levi. It was difficult for her to get through the discussion between all the growls and muttering from her father about wanting to go back and kill Levi with his bare hands.
When they were done filling them in, Tala had to sit on the floor, too. Remy wasn't sure what Tala was thinking, but Kodi was pacing in his cell. Remy started to clean underneath her nails as she waited for someone to say something about the information they were given. It was a lot, and Remy knew they would need to sort through their thoughts, but she was also growing bored. The bond between her and Chase was warm, making Remy want to figure out if he was on their property, so she could get her fix, or if she would need to travel to his territory. Then, her mother cleared her throat.
"First off, hearing of the dragons needing multiple mates was one thing. Your friend was a special breed, so she needed more mates than usual. Fine. I can understand that. But now I am wondering why you are having multiples."
Remy opened her mouth to say something, but her mother cut her off.
"I'm just saying. I know you are special as a Meta. The last one of your kind died out a couple of decades ago, but I don't remember hearing about her having multiple mates, so I don't know why you would. Second, do you mean to tell me Levi was the mate who took you away from us? That bastard was part of this, and none of us knew until now? How can that be?"
"Maybe I am more special than her." Tala looked at Remy. Remy laughed and continued. "The only thing I can think of with Levi is that he had a witch on his side."
Kodi growled. "It wasn't Morgana."
Remy growled back, knowing Kodi would take it as a challenge, but she wanted his attention. He looked at her with fire in his eyes, but Remy didn't budge. She kept her eyes on his, issuing a bit of a dominance battle, hoping hers would win out the mini battle and his Lycan recognized she was superior. The more Lycans that out-dominate Kodi right now, the better. That meant more people could keep his Lycan in check, and he wouldn't be as much of a threat to the pack.
"None of us said it was Morgana, you twit. Not every time we bring up a witch will it be about yours. Knock your shit off and pay attention to what is happening here. If Levi managed to get a witch on his payroll, we would be a bigger problem than we can account for. It's not like I can call up my witch friend and have an entire coven here to help protect us in the pack."
Kodi dropped his eyes first and growled at his admission of being less dominant than her. Through the pack bonds, she could feel the anger inside him was building, so she needed to change things up.
"None of us are saying that it was her. We are saying there are more witches inside this kingdom than we were led to believe. Somehow, they were able to come into our kingdom without us knowing. That's a scary thought, and we need to protect ourselves. A Lycan may not be able to win that kind of a fight," Remy told him.
"Do you really think there are more witches inside the Kingdom than Morgana?" Tala asked Remy.
"I do, and I think it would be easy to imagine multiple witches being able to waltz through the forests and trees and into our territory undetected. That would explain how Levi had a Witch in his back pocket and Morgana getting into the kingdom in the first place. Each kingdom has its barriers to keep other species out. Somehow, one got in, and I'm sure they are why the dark dimension was opened here. However, magic is a fickle thing; if you know how to use it, someone well-versed enough could knock down a barrier. Then we have the one that Kodi was mated to as well. Two witches inside of this kingdom when there are normally none? That seems more than enough reason to believe that a coven, somehow, snuck in. They would have a manager who can manipulate the barriers to get inside. I'm wondering if a coven is working with one or two of the other packs, and that is how they got in. It would also explain Levi having a witch that could curse me and forget who he was."
Tala and Lykos nodded.
