Filed To Story: The Guardian Wolf and her Alpha Mate
“Ah..the elder brother” Corina says with a smile. “As much as we wanted to help, we can’t change fate. Life is not meant to be easy and we cannot change things that have to happen despite how much we want to at time.”
Sitting back in his chair he looks down as he takes in her words, “I should have been there for my brother” he says pained.
“No..Kingsley had to experience this life, it’s what made him who he is today. I cannot explain it in a way that makes it alright because it’s not, but I can just say this is how it had to happen” Corina tells him as understanding crosses his face.
“You’re willing to help us?” I ask interrupting their conversation slightly to remind them why we are gathered.
“We are” they reply in unison.
“How do you propose helping us? Has Alex filled you in completely?” I ask quietly.
“Yes I have..everything” he assures me.
“We need to kill the witch who is using dark magic, or as you know them..the dark witch. He has broken many mage laws and has brought upset to the balance of life as we know it. Dark magic was ruled out because it was unnatural” Esmerelda starts.
“Everything about us and you is unnatural” Florence says with a little laugh before throwing us an apologetic look, “sorry that was rude.”
“But true” Esmerelda says with a smile, “but dark magic draws on people’s life forms and can overwhelm the host so much so that they become consumed by the dark magic and no longer make decisions that protect people’s lives. It screams danger and it needs to be ridded from this world.”
“Will it ever be gone entirely?” Alex asks.
“Most likely not but we can continue to try” Michaela says her voice quiet and strained as if she doesn’t use it much.
“Can you kill him?” I ask.
“Yes” Esmerelda says as a look crosses his face so fleeting I’m unsure if I imagined it before I see Kingsley lean forward.
“At what price?” He whispers.
With that Esmerelda simply smiles at him sadly but doesn’t answer. “Es what price? You know don’t you” he probes.
“I have seen 4 possible futures because in this there are many factors which could change the outcome” she admits. “We can kill him and that’s what matters.”
“Es tell me” Kingsley says his voice breaking.
“At the price of one of us” Michaela speaks again as Esmerelda shoots her a glare for telling him.
“No..no” Kingsley says, “we cannot ask that of you.”
“You’re right you cant” Corina says with a chuckle, “but it’s a good thing we didn’t ask.”
“Why would you do that for us?” I ask in shock as everyone else simply listens their faces showing the surprise they are feeling.
“Because Guardian Wolves are the answer to balancing life for everyone, our ancestors served them and even worshipped them. What is one life to save those of many” Corina points out.
“Save many?” Nova asks quietly.
“The world would be a much worse place to be in, in the future especially, if you and your father were not around young lady” Esmerelda says with an unreadable expression in her eyes.
“So how do we do this?” I ask broaching the subject.
With that the witches look between one another before Esmerelda leans forward, “well..”
Nova POV:
“Well..there is a way we can locate the use of dark magic. There is a spell we are strong enough to do together that will give us the location of where it is being used, but it will leave us drained” Esmerelda explains.
“We would need rest after that so we wouldn’t be able to go to them immediately” Corina adds.
“Laurence have you managed to get anything from the rogue in the cells?” Jax asks suddenly.
“No, he’s pretty banged up as well” he admits. Turning his eyes to me he speaks quietly, “I was going to ask you to speak to him but I needed you to regain your energy Luna.”
“I understand” I say with a smile. “I’ll go there after, I’m strong enough now.”
“Kara” I hear Corina whisper making me spin to see her sat stiffly upright her eyes milky as she stares blankly at the space in front of her.
“What’s happening?” Jax asks moving to stand before Alex’s hand shoots out to stop him.
“She gets visions of a kind” Alex mutters so everyone can hear in the room. “They’re not as clear as Esmereldas nor as they as informative but they are always definite. If we can understand them.”
“Just wait and see what she saw” Alex says quietly as we stay still for a moment.
With a deep gasp Kara slumps as his mother and aunty hold her arms from either side of her keeping her straight as she regains her bearings.
“You need to speak to the rogue” she says turning her eyes to me, “you are the only one who will get the information from him that we need.”
“What did you see Kara?” Alex asks.
“I saw a full moon and I felt pain, an unimaginable amount of pain” she shudders.
“That’s it?” Luca asks through the video link.
“Luca” I hiss throwing him a look which immediately has him looking embarrassed.
