57 New Coven

Amelia POV

I watch Lily and Pheobe end that pathetic f**ker quickly. I knew they were stronger than Lucas, but expected more from the warlocks. I know our pack is by no means weak, but we didn’t lose one warrior, which I’m so grateful for. Pheobe and Michael come to stand next to me and Lincoln. There are thirty warlocks kneeling in front of us and Leland is standing off to the side. Pheobe steps forward, “you have come here today to the Nightfire Pack under the orders of your coven leader, who is now dead. Leland, please step forward. Before he comes to stand in front of Pheobe, he stops in front of me and Lincoln. He bares his neck, showing us respect. I smile and Lincoln nods at him. He moves coming to stand in front of Pheobe. “I, Pheobe Brin Williams, decree that from this day forward you, Leland Stone and your beloved Teresa Stone will be the leaders of the Blue Rose Coven. This coven that was once the Black Rose and the Blue Star will now be one under your leadership. Leland Stone, do you accept this responsibility of the coven and its members?” He smiles and I’m happy that the coven will have the leaders it deserves.

“I, Leland Stone, accept the role of coven leader for the Blue Rose Coven. I will lead with my beloved Teresa Stone. We will lead with strength and kindness. All coven members will be shown respect by their leaders and peers.” He turns to the remaining warlocks. “Anyone of you that doesn’t agree with that will not remain part of the coven.” I see many of them nodding their heads while others stand stoically staring at Leland. Pheobe steps forward again. “This coven will be under my protection and anyone who goes against it will have the same fate Lucas did. So, you will each show me your energy signature now.” Leland looks confused and honestly, I am too. Lincoln looks like he knows exactly what’s happening. “What is she doing,” I link him. “Watch, she is about to weed out the bad seeds” he links me back with a smile on his face. I roll my eyes but do as he says. I turn back and the warlocks all have energy balls swirling above their hands. Most of them have swirling balls of light but five don’t.

The balls are black swirling clouds above their hands. They are the warlocks that didn’t look happy about what Leland was saying.

Pheobe POV

I had truly hoped that all the warlocks that didn’t perish would use this as an opportunity to have a better life, but unfortunately a small group of them haven’t. I raise my hand and push an energy ball knocking the five warlocks away from the group. The others gather off to the side. I’m sure realizing what is about to happen. As they get to their feet, a look of disgust and anger adorns their faces. “You f**king pathetic b**ch” the one to the front of the group says and I laugh. “You really have to be stupid after what you just witnessed.” “You could have been the strongest black magic witch that anyone has ever known but instead you chose light and mutts.” I’m just about to cast and turn them to ash when the one speaking is struck with an energy ball that came from behind us. I turn and smile “don’t you ever speak to my daughter that way again.” I turn back and between the three of us the remaining four are ashes in seconds.

Leland rushes over wrapping my mother in his arms. “Teresa, you should be resting.” “Leland don’t tell me what to do. I am fine.” I chuckle to myself, loving their exchange. Arms wrap around me from behind and I lean back into him. Feeling relief and grateful that Lucas and the others have been dealt with. Michael stiffens and I turn in his arms expecting to see concern on his face, but I see happiness. “What just happened” I ask. He leans in, whispering in my ear “I’ll tell you later.” I’m just about to demand he tells me now when my mother calls my name. “Pheobe, we will be returning to the coven to ensure all the black magic warlocks are dealt with. We also need to find out what happened to Lance.” I turn to Michael, Amelia, and Lincoln. They all nod at me even though no words are spoken between us. “Mom, Michael and I will be returning with you to ensure that they are all dealt with and the new coven is in order.” “Thank you, and all of you” my mother says. Neal, Lily, Iris, and Walker join us. I notice my mother’s smile fade. Iris must notice too. She walks until she is standing in front of my mother. Without a word, she pulls my mother into a hug. I know words pass between them but I can’t make out what

they say. I will have to ask Michael exactly what he heard. I know with his wolf hearing he knows what they said to each other. They pull back from each other and both of their faces are tear-stained. I’m glad to see them make peace. I love my mother and Iris has become part of my family. I hug Amelia and Lily before I wrap my arms around Michael. “We will be back soon”, I say before I teleport us to the coven. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Lincoln POV

As we watch Michael and Pheobe disappear, I wrap my arm around my beautiful mate. The remaining warlocks, Teresa, and Leland all disappear and the clearing is quiet. I lean down whispering into Amelia’s ear. “Are you ready to go get our little one?” “More than ready Lincoln.” I shake Neal’s hand and let go of Amelia as she goes to hug Lily. “I think its time for us all to get some rest”, I say to everyone. We start our walk back to the pack house when I get a link from John. “Alpha, I’m with Maureen outside her cottage and I have a rogue frozen that was going to attack her.” I growl “we are on our way.” “What’s wrong, Lincoln?” “A f**king rogue made it into the pack. Of all the nights for this bulls*t. It’s just like last time with Atlas. They wait till they know we are dealing with another a**hole. I just don’t understand how they could know. We assumed that Atlas had a hand in the last rogue attack but obviously he has nothing to do with this.” “We will figure it out Lincoln, let’s just go deal with the rogue.” I lean down, pressing my lips to hers before we head to the cottages.

As we approach, the wolf looks like a statue. John and Maureen are standing waiting for our arrival. John looks more pissed than I’ve ever seen before. “John” I say, and he focuses his attention off the wolf and on me. “He came here to attack my beloved.” Now that just pisses me off. I turn to the wolf. “You have made a grave mistake, but before I deal with you, you will tell us who sent you. John, release your hold on him.” John does as I ask. The wolf begins to back up, ready to take off. “Shift now”, I give command and despite being a rogue, his wolf gives in. He shifts and the man standing begins to plead for mercy. “Who sent you to our pack?” “I can’t tell you, please don’t kill me.” “What do you mean you can’t tell us?” “The man that sent me here has a witch and she gave me something that

won’t allow me to tell you anything about the collective or him. I can only tell you why I’m here. All I know is he wants her” he says, pointing at Maureen. I turn and Maureen is on the porch holding Penny in her arms with Judith standing next to her. I turn back to the man. “What were your orders from the collective’s leader?” “Please, he has my mate and he will kill her.” “We have ways to determine if you’re telling the truth and if you are we will help you save your mate but only if you tell me what he wanted you to do.” I can see the worry on his face and I actually believe his story. John will be able to tell us for sure if he is being truthful. “He wanted me to take the little girl back to the collective because he knew that Maureen would come for her.” I hear a growl and Maureen is gripping Penny tightly.

I link a warrior to come to take him to the cells for now. “How long did he give you to return with the Penny?” “Three days and if I’m not back he kills Jeanine.” “My warriors will take you to the cells, but I promise once we ensure you are telling the truth we will be dealing with the collective leader.” He nods a look of relief washing over him. He can only be eighteen years old. This ba**ard is another monster using a weaker wolf to do his bidding. Once the rogue is gone, I turn to Maureen. “Do you remember him, Maureen?” “I do, he was kind and I remember his mate too. They just found each other a few months ago. Damien is a coward sending that young man to take Penny.” John climbs the stairs and stands next to them. “That will never happen, I promise you” John says. “We all need to get some rest and tomorrow we come up with plan to deal with the f**king ba**ard.” John and Maureen both nod at me. “Bye Alpha” Penny says in her little voice. “Bye Penny” I say and we walk the rest of the way to my parent’s floor to get Eli.

Maureen POV

When I hear Ethan say that Damien sent him to take Penny, I feel sick to my stomach. “Maureen, I told you he wouldn’t stop no matter where we are” my mother says. “Mother” I say, but John stops me. “Judith, I understand that you are worried about your daughter and granddaughter but I promise you that this pack is exactly where you need to be. This pack will protect them with their lives. I will protect them at any cost.” For the first time, I see a smile on my mother’s face. She takes Penny out of my

arms before she leans into John’s space. “If you hurt my daughter, you will be very sorry, warlock or not.” She turns to go inside “you never have to worry about that Judith, she is my beloved.” The door closes and we are alone. He looks into my eyes and all the reasons I had to say no seem stupid. “They are stupid accept our mate” Clarice says.
