Chapter 57


    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 Michaele to stand next to me and Lincoln. There are thirty


    warlocks kneeling in front of us and Lnd 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. Lnd,


    please step forward. Before hees 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 movesing to stand in


    front of Pheobe. “I, Pheobe Brin Williams, decree that from this day forward you, Lnd Stone and


    your beloved Teresa Stone will be the leaders of the Blue Rose Coven. This coven that was once the


    ck Rose and the Blue Star will now be one under your leadership. Lnd Stone, do you ept this


    responsibility of the coven and its members?” He smiles and I’m happy that the coven will have the


    leaders it deserves.


    “I, Lnd Stone, ept 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 Lnd. 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.” Lnd 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.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    The balls are ck swirling clouds above their hands. They are the warlocks that didn’t look happy


    about what Lnd 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 Iugh. “You really have to be stupid


    after what you just witnessed.” “You could have been the strongest ck 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.


    Lnd rushes over wrapping my mother in his arms. “Teresa, you should be resting.” “Lnd 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 youter.” 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 ck 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


    d to see them make peace. I love my mother and Iris has be 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.


    Lincoln POV


    As we watch Michael and Pheobe disappear, I wrap my arm around my beautiful mate. The remaining


    warlocks, Teresa, and Lnd 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 likest time with As. They wait till they know we are dealing with another a**hole. I


    just don’t understand how they could know. We assumed that As had a hand in thest 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 givemand 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 woulde for her.” I hear a growl and Maureen is gripping Penny tightly.


    I link a warrior toe 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 wee up with n 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 ept our mate” rice says.
