Chapter 270: Meeting 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 me 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. Messing with magic is a deadly game. 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 come if I am the next leader.

You never wanted this.

My wolf reminds me.

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 me. The two people that give me 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 immediately. Levine walks into the room "They want to see you,’’ she tells me.

I knew it would come to this. I mean, they will make the decision on their own but they will seek advice from me. 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 time and his eyes are still closed. I have been praying that the next time I would see him—he would be looking right back at me. 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 me.

I don’t know what truth she is talking about but I feel like the truth is relative. A lot about me makes me 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 meeting room. Once in front of the door, I take a deep breath to gather my thoughts. This is the moment I will decide what to do. No matter the outcome of this, there is one thing that is sure. I will get them out of this situation, no matter what.

Levine lets go of me 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 women and two men.

The elders of the coven.

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

I have only been in the same room with the three of them once in my life. The initiation ceremony. The day I finally became one of them. That was the worst day of my life. The fact that some people were telling me I was one of them when it didn’t feel like I was, just made me even feel like more of an outcast.

"Come closer Blue,’’ Magnus says as he pulls his glasses up his nose to get a clearer view of me. 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 blame this all on my mother. I blame her relaxed attitude towards everything. I blame her for not listening to me. Not being prepared for what happened.

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

"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 mess knowing they all know about me?

How will they accept me now?

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

I have to do this for Rex and Gyles.
