The Werewolf's Chapter 270: Meeting the elders

Chapter 270: eting the elders

Blue.

"Damn Gyles, I need you right now." I breathe out, squeezing his hand in mine tightly. I am a nervous wreck right now. In a couple of minutes, the elders will decide if I am fit enough to lead the coven and if Rex should be executed.

A part of

hopes that this all goes in my favour. I will gladly accept the title of chief, so I can protect Rex. I need the power to protect him right now. ssing with magic is a deadly ga. I don’t want us to have to run for the rest of our lives. If he is wanted, they will put a bounty on his head. They will make sure they find him.

I don’t want to live that kind of life with them. I want them to be protected, I don’t want him to have to look over his shoulders for the rest of his life. I need a plan to make all this happen and that will only co if I am the next leader.

You never wanted this.

My wolf reminds .

I didn’t want to be in this coven. I didn’t want to be part of this family. Now that is the only way I can save him.

Fuck.

My eyes stay on him. He is alive. I am grateful that he is but I just wish he would respond to . The two people that give

strength are both indisposed right now. What I would take to see Gyles smile right now. Even if he just wakes up to cause trouble—I will be happy. His hands are cold, the coldest they have ever been. He is basically dead right now.

The door to my room opens and I pull away from him imdiately. Levine walks into the room "They want to see you,’’ she tells .

I knew it would co to this. I an, they will make the decision on their own but they will seek advice from . They will want to know what I think. Get more information on everything that happened. I want to be able to convince them that I can handle this. Would they really give a hybrid the chance to rule the coven?

I want to be optimistic but it seems like the odds are not in my favour. I glance at Gyles one last ti and his eyes are still closed. I have been praying that the next ti I would see him—he would be looking right back at . All my wishes and silent prayers and nothing has happened. I stand up from the bed and walk over to the door.

"How is it looking?’’ I ask her because, at the end of it all, I need advice on what to say and do there. I know I have to be submissive. They are all elderly and they will demand utmost respect. I can’t even flare up in there. I have to show them that I am grown and more mature than in the past.

I haven’t really had a good track record with these people.

I wish that would change.

I wish I can win them over for Rex.

"Just tell them the truth. Do not leave anything out." She tells .

I don’t know what truth she is talking about but I feel like the truth is relative. A lot about

makes

the weakest contender. They know it, Levine knows it. I just have to convince them that all I am thinking of is the coven.

We walk to the eting room. Once in front of the door, I take a deep breath to gather my thoughts. This is the mont I will decide what to do. No matter the outco of this, there is one thing that is sure. I will get them out of this situation, no matter what.

Levine lets go of

and I open the door slowly. I am prolonging the inevitable. I don’t want to be in the middle of their stares but the minute I walk into the room, I see them at the round table. They are six. Four won and two n.

The elders of the coven.

Magnus, Rand, Willow, Helena, Minerva, Aggie.

I have only been in the sa room with the three of them once in my life. The initiation ceremony. The day I finally beca one of them. That was the worst day of my life. The fact that so people were telling

I was one of them when it didn’t feel like I was, just made

even feel like more of an outcast.

"Co closer Blue,’’ Magnus says as he pulls his glasses up his nose to get a clearer view of . Magnus is the oldest of them all. His skin is wrinkled and pale, his eyes are a brown shade of black, and his hair is long over his shoulders and as white as snow. I always thought he had a resemblance to the character Dumbledore from harry potter.

I take slow strides until I get to his front. He is the only one that has a gentle face amongst all of them.

"I still don’t see a reason why he is here,’’ Helena beseeches angrily.

She looks the angriest out of them all. I completely understand why she would be vexed right now but this is not my fault. I bla this all on my mother. I bla her relaxed attitude towards everything. I bla her for not listening to . Not being prepared for what happened.

"How are you holding up with everything that has happened?’’ Magnus asks

calmly. His voice is deep and father-like.

I want to trust him but I don’t trust anyone in this coven. I don’t belong here and I will never open up to them and relax on how I feel.

"I am okay sir,’’ I tell him even though I feel like shit right now. To them, I have to be strong, I can’t show weakness. They need to believe that I can handle anything. Including losing my mother.

"Your mother might not make it,’’ Magnus continues. He is trying to get a reaction out of .

"Your mate is responsible for that.’’

I open my eyes wide from the shock of his words. He knows about Rex. How does he know about that? How will I get out of this ss knowing they all know about ?

How will they accept

now?

I take a deep breath because right now is not the ti to panic and worry. I have to stand strong and make them believe in .

I have to do this for Rex and Gyles.
