Chapter 57

Present Day

I made the phone call to the Council secretary, requesting a conference over the video system as soon as possible. While I waited for a reply, I called my other Coven members together. Marceline was flying back from Denver now that those Alphas had been taken care of. We gathered in the gardens behind the home, enjoying the warm night and the scent of the moonflowers and gardenias, and I caught them up.

"Nisha's coming here soon, and she and Randall will need our help. Prepare a room down here for them, they will need constant supervision until he's stabilized from the change," I said.

"The Council forbid the change," Eduardo said. "It would be more merciful to kill him for her. Watching her mate wither and die may drive her insane, and I don't want to see her put down like an animal. The bond is still new, maybe it won't be as bad if it is done quickly?"
