Ares's POV
After a while, the witches settled down a bit and actually welcomed us in. We sat down in their main greeting room and one of the mistresses brought tea for everyone.
“It’s not much Alpha, but we do pride our coven in our generosity towards those in your territory and pack. We are loyalists after all.” One mistress stated while sipping her tea.
Something was bothering me and I knew what it was but I didn’t want to raise any alarms with Ari so I tried to be cautious in how I approached the subject.
“What’s wrong?” Ari whispers to me from behind me.
“Nothing. I was summoned to the council. I told Trace I couldn’t go right now, obviously.” I whisper back to her as she nods and relaxes back into her seat.
“You mentioned a name…Aurora,” I commented to the coven mother.
“Why, yes, Aurora is our most promising witch! She will take over as coven mother when I pass,” She smiled proudly.
