/Zion’s POV/
“My king please spare her and have mercy on her, we can have this conversation after the meeting my lord.” Silas Wolfe said to me which was what brought me back to the current situation I am in.
I nodded my head at him and he took the cue to take his daughter out of the hall, I cleared my throat and got back to the situation at hand.
“Thank you, this spell can only last for twenty years and we’ll have a meeting every year to renew the protection spell, any other information will be passed on to every one of you in your respective covens and packs,” I muttered.
After saying this I nodded for Adelaide to come over and cast the protection spell on them. All powerful spells come with a prize after being cast. I would have done it by myself but my witch side is not as strong as Adeleide’s own. I wonder what the prize of this spell will be, I hope she doesn’t go unconscious for more than two days.
“No word concerning my little mate will be discussed or disclosed outside of this hall, the moment any of you opens your mouth to discuss it, the person shall experience a very slow and painful death with his mouth being sealed together.” I and Fenrir convey the command together making the building shake and the command effective.
“A spell of safety here I cast
A word of might to hold me fast
A shield before us and behind
To the right and left, protection bind
To us May no harm or Illness will come
By the power of thee, my magic is from
With the sacred light around us
As above-So below, Blessed be
Salt of earth guard these people
While we’re here or while we roam
Keep us safe, and all within
For the good of all, this bond begins
By my will, with harm to none
By Earth power, This spell is done.”
Adelaide recited the spell and she started coughing out blood, my Beta went to check and immediately he had her back turned to his chest she covered her eyes.
“Now that the spell has been cast, this signifies the end of the meeting. Thank you once again the citizens of Mystic Falls, I appreciate your turn-ups on such very short notice. I wish you all a safe trip to your respective and humble abode and I hope the next time we’ll gather here, it will be for a joyous celebration not a sorrowful one like today.” I said with a tone of finality which meant everybody could take their leave as it’s already morning and the day is getting bright.
“Adelaide is being taken away by the gammas to one of the guest houses and she will be surrounded by half of the gammas all the time,” Alexander reported to me of my sister’s situation and I thanked him for doing the needful.
“Zion, concerning your mate now what are you going to do and how will you go about the situation, if I’m to be very honest with you, you can’t take her away now because she’s still very small and she hasn’t learnt anything about mating yet.”Alexander confided in me and I exhaled because I’m quite disturbed and disrupted right now.
“Alexander I don’t know what to do, to be honest, I don’t think I can live without her, she already has me wrapped around her little fingers.” I confide in Alexander because he’s not just a friend to me, he’s my brother.
“Lycan king, I’m ready for the meeting if you are ready sir.” Silas Wolfe says to me with his head down, I motion him over to come and sit let’s have the discussion I’m dreading to have.
“With all due respect, you can’t take my daughter Ashina away from me, she’s my only child and she’s only three years old. She has not even been taught anything about mate and she’s still very young to be taught that, and how are we even sure that she’s your mate?” Silas Wolfe inquired with a bit of irritation in his voice.
“Are you insinuating that your king is wrong or mistaken? Or worse are you calling your king a liar?” I and Fenrir converge together stating the sentence with fury making our voices echo and the buildings tremble. Everyone present in the hall falls immediately on their knees because of Fenrir’s presence which is very overbearing for them.
Alexander knew he needed to do something before Fenrir lost his temper, so he called me forth and asked him to follow him outside to discuss privately about the matter.
“Zion don’t be irrational, you can’t take her away till she reaches the mating age, you know the rules.” Alexander tries to persuade me.
“Apache, you will not talk to me like that. Beta or not I’m still your king, I’m Fenrir, not Zion your best friend.” Alexander bared his neck immediately to Fenrir as a sign of respect and he gave me back the control.
“Alexander I don’t know if I can leave her alone for fifteen years, I don’t think Fenrir will agree and be on the same page with me,” I explain to Alexander what I’m feeling.
“Zion we have to come up with a plan, I think you should give her the space and let her live a normal life without knowing she has a mate who is the king of the lycans but the condition will be that once she clocks the age of eighteen, she’ll be given to you without long discussions or hesitation or else she’ll be taken away forcefully,” Alexander suggests, the plan is not really sitting well with me if I’m to be honest but I think that’s the wisest and best plan we can come up with for now.
“Thank you so much, Alexander I don’t know what I’d do without you by my side. To be honest, thank you for being a brother to me.” I convey my gratitude to Alex and he smirks at me while wiggling his eyebrows.
“I know I’m the best friend you’ll ever make,” Alexander affirms making me nod my head at his stupidity. I’m about to go and face my future right now y’all should wish me good luck.
“Silas Wolfe, concerning my little mate, I’ve come to a decision that I’ll not take her away as she’s still very small and not yet of age, but when the time comes for me to come and retrieve my bride I’d retrieve her whether willingly or by force,” I say to my little mate’s father with a hint of threat making him know how far I’d go to retrieve my mate.
“Thank you so much, Lycan King, Thank you for allowing me to spend more time with my only child and by the time you come for your mate, she’d have been taught all the things she’s supposed to know,” Silas shoulder dropped slightly as a puff of breath escaped his lips.
“Make sure no harm comes to your future queen, you’re promising me that you will protect her with your life as she is the one destined to rule beside me,” I inform Silas Wolfe and his Gamma, since they’re are specifically trained as guardians to the royals.
“Command registered. I’ll be with her in every step she goes and make sure she’s my priority, my king.” The Gamma proclaims and I’d take his word because I can always watch and get information about my little mate.
