Chapter 563 - Reece – Gathering The Council (VOLU 3)
~~
Reece
~~
After my Little Bunny had summoned all of the guards to join us for breakfast in our room, we went to see Gloriana and Valerian in the usual study. There was a lot more that all of us needed to talk about, but we didn't want to keep having the sa talk over and over again. To save us so ti and possibly so headaches, we decided to call for all of the council mbers to join us.
The last ti that we brought so of the council with us, they had all stayed in our residence. This ti, however, the entire council was here so they were sort of spread out all over the place. This made things a little easier on them and us. I didn't really want them all staying at our place, even if we could have made it biggesr at will.
The truth of it was, I just didn't want to have to deal with them, talk to them on a regular basis. I liked the mbers of the council, I really did, but I didn't know them all that well. They were fine to have a eting with, but I didn't want to live with them. Who knows what kind of weird habits they might have. There is no telling what they might be like when they were in the 'off' mode and no longer 'working' for us. Sorry but that was not an appealing thought to . They can go and be who they wanted to be when I wasn't around soplace else. And I was going to be myself with my wife and mate while we had our place mostly to ourselves.
Yeah, yeah, I know I am rambling. I just got out of a war, so I think I am allowed to have a few rambling monts. All I can think about right now is my wife and kids. My family was the most precious thing in the world for and that is why I didn't shy away from these battles at all. I needed to protect them, to keep the world safe for them.
I was thinking about this while we prepared for and headed to the eting. I knew that this was going to be a long, boring eting. That was going to be a little torturous for , but as long as my Little Bunny was there with that would be fine. I could handle anything with her next to . That was what I always told myself, though. Usually it worked, sotis though, not even her presence was enough to make these etings bearable.
Once we left the residence and we were walking down the hall to the eting, I saw Landon. I hadn't actually seen him since he was fighting in the battle yesterday. I had been so preoccupied with my mate that I hadn't even thought about checking on everyone else.
"Landon." I said as I sped up just a little to walk next to him, this left my Little Bunny walking behind , but I don't think she cared all that much.
"Hey, Reece." He smiled at .
"I am glad to see that you're unhurt." This wasn't exactly an apology word for word, but I know that he understood that I was saying sothing along the lines of 'hey, sorry for not checking to see if you were even alive yesterday'. Yeah, I had been a bit hyper focused and wasn't able to stop myself. Sorry buddy.
"Nah, it's fine. I was busy anyway." That piqued my interest.
"Busy? With what?"
I was just looking at him with a dumbfounded expression. He was looking back at but unlike , he looked happy. Really happy.
"What is up with you?" His dopey grin was kind of unnerving, and I didn't know why.
"I am just really happy, that's all." He almost looked like he was about to start skipping down the hallway.
"Dude, stop, you're creeping out." I wanted to laugh at him, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
Behind there was a soft and sweet laugh that interrupted us. I recognized it imdiately, but I didn't know why my Little Bunny was laughing right now. Maybe she laughed at Landon in my place.
"What is so funny, Trinity?" I asked her without taking my eyes off of Landon's creepily happy face.
"I am surprised you can't tell what has made him so happy, Reece." She was still giggling. "Congratulations, Landon. I am very happy for you."
For so reason, when my Little Bunny said that Landon's smile got even wider before he laughed embarrassedly.
"Thanks, Trinity. I am truly happy about it."
"Happy about what?" I was still missing sothing here and I didn't even realize it.
"Fido, you dolt, he found his mate. I am guessing he t her much like Rhinum found his mate in the battle from before. Am I right?" She said that last part directly to Landon who was nodding happily.
"Yeah, when I was out on the battlefield, I slled her. She had scented too and we searched each other out and worked together to fight every enemy that ca our way. It was intense and amazing to say the least. But I loved it. During that entire ti I didn't leave her side once I found her. We fought together and rested together."
"Really?" Now that I finally knew what was going on, I was able to be happy for my friend.
"Yeah, really."
"Congrats man. What's her na?"
"Her na is Ava, she is an eagle shifter from Noir's clan."
"Haha, that's funny." I couldn't stop the laughter from coming from .
"Well, at least they won't be fighting like cats and dogs." My Little Bunny knew why I had laughed.
"Yeah, he'll just eat her." At that Landon blushed bright red and turned away from .
"Dumbass." He started to walk a little faster to hide his embarrassnt. I could still tell that he was smiling, though, so he wasn't that upset about it. That was good.
I was happy for him. He was one of my best friends and I knew that he had been lonely for a long ti. I was glad that he was able to find soone to be with, soone to help ease the pain of loneliness that he has been feeling.
We all continued onward toward the study that the eting was going to be in. my Little Bunny and Gloriana were going to be sitting at the head of the eting like they had done last ti we got so of the council together here.
I was sitting next to my wife and mate while Trevor was next to Gloriana. The rest of the council mbers all sat around the large table that had been put into the magically expanded room. It was a little unnerving to see all of them here in one place following the battle that had just occurred. Part of wanted to wait a day or two, or twenty, before we had to start hashing everything out. Oh well, this was the life of those that were in charge of others.. We were always busy.
