“Conference room” he replies.
“Ok, bye guys” I say to them as we leave.
“Laurence try get Jax to relax, I’m worried about him” I link him without looking.
“Will do Luna” he replies understandingly.
Jax POV:
“Everybody here?” I check as I step into the conference room with Alex close behind me. Looking around I see my ma and siblings sat by my Gammas, Luca and Axton already on the screen and Laurence sat with Kingsley and Johnathon.
“Just me sorry” I hear Nova say as she steps in behind us. “Naomi and Alice are both taking a nap, I assured them their mates would update them but they need their rest.”
“Mila when do you go to Axtons?” I ask quietly.
“I was planning on two days time, I wanted to be here for ma” she explains. “But I will be back by Saturday as I have the visit with the council planned.”
“No need to explain I understand it’s just so I can plan that’s all” I reply with a smile before turning to Kingsley. “Kingsley..how are you?” I ask as I sit down with Nova squeezing his shoulder as she passes.
“Better” he says, “I’m sorry I haven’t checked in Nova. I’ve been a bit..”
“Preoccupied?” She finishes for him. “I get it, I know you were at the hospital I’ve been told.”
“Yes” he sighs.
“Stop worrying, I am perfectly fine” she says shooting him a stern look.
“So this meeting is about everything that has taken place over the last few days in particular. Obviously with the incident after the hunters meeting you are all aware of what happened. But what we haven’t disclosed with everyone here is that Axel and Evan found 5 listening devices around the packhouse which I believe my father placed” I explain as my mother bolts upright with a growl.
“I’m sorry your father left them?!” She snarls.
Nodding my head I motion for her to calm down as Mila grasps her arm, “yes ma. Nova can sense lies, she has a very high ability to detect deception and she is certain that no one else who we have been around has lied to us. The only person who has been in this pack acting suspicious is him.”
“Arsehole” she hisses her eyes flashing with that of her wolf’s. “When will it stop?” She moans taking her seat again.
“I know ma” I sigh. “We have had no indication of where he may be after leaving Alpha Henry’s pack, nor have any other packs contacted us saying they have come across him or been approached by him. It’s very suspicious. So..we can’t confirm exactly what was picked up by the listening devices but I think it’s best we assume almost everything at the point.”
“So we have no way of being ahead of them?” Theo asks in annoyance.
“Well..kind of” I admit. “However Laurence, Alex, Ophelia, Nova and I did have a conversation in our room yesterday where there was no listening device when we agreed that we would have to involve other witches. With the hunters having a dark witch working with them it puts us at a serious disadvantage even with two Guardian Wolves. So I believe it necessary to involve those witches who can help us.”
“Can we trust them?” Axton asks from his video link.
“They’re my personal pack witches so I would confirm we can yes” Alex says speaking up. “They have also been screened by the council before joining my pack..I would trust them with my life” he admits as a few show shocked faces around the table.
“I know we don’t normally work with witches but this is no normal situation” I explain to everyone. “So are we all comfortable with that?” I check looking around. Seeing everyone agree I take a breath as I motion to Alex.
“Good because they’re here” I say quietly as Alex opens the door and 4 ladies walk in. 3 elderly ones who have white hair and another younger one who I would guess at about 30 years old.
“Esmerelda, ?” I hear Kingsley ask slowly as the second witches eyes fall on him.
“My boy” she says her voice calm and soothing as he stands and rushes to her. Pulling him into her she hugs him like a parent would their own and rubs soothing circles on his back. “Life has been so cruel to you” she whispers softly as I look to Nova who is staring wide eyed at the scene infront of them.
Clearing my throat slightly I feel bad for interrupting momentarily before shaking my head knowing I need answers. “Kingsley..?” I ask.
Turning to the room we can all see the emotion he is trying to control before he speaks, “I told you I was taken in by a witch..this is her. Esmerelda.”
“You looked after my dad” Nova says quietly.
“I did child” the lady says looking at Kingsley with fondness. “He needed some light in his world and I was going to make sure he got that at some point or other.”
Seeing the questioning look in our eyes she continues as Alex motions for them to take a seat. “I knew I needed to be there for that boy at the time, I brought him up and guided him as best I could whilst protecting him from the world around him.”
“You knew what he was?” I ask her with interest.
“I had a vision” she admits. “It’s one of my particular gifts, 3 days later I met Kingsley and I took him in. It was the best decision I made.” Seeing the warm smile she directs to Kingsley I can see the genuine care this woman has for him which makes me relax slightly.
“So you’re Esmerelda..it’s a pleasure to meet you” I say politely. “May we all be introduced?” I ask looking at the others.
“Aunty Corina and Aunty Michaela” Kingsley says motioning to the two other ladies who he stands and hugs gently as they cup his cheek. Looking at them in surprise I cock my head noticing the similarities in their features, the same cheekbones and eye shape, as well as their hair.
“We are sisters Alpha” Esmerelda says with a laugh, “I am the eldest and these are my younger twin sisters.”
“Understood” I say with a chuckle as Kingsley looks relieved to have them near. “And you are?” I ask politely turning to the younger witch.
“I am Kara” she says. “I am Corina’s daughter” she explains.
“I’ve heard a lot about you” she admits to Kingsley.
“I wish I could say the same for you” he says with sadness, “I missed out on so much when I had to leave.”
“You did son, but we were always watching you” Esmerelda says her voice quivering slightly.
“Why didn’t you do anything to help him when he left you?” Johnathon asks leaning forward.
