Page 147 of His Sunshine Baby

It’s the first time the King has spoken, but everyone immediately turns to him. Only the Alphas present don’t seem intimidated.

“Witches are elemental creatures. If a Water Witch was helping them…”

“It would explain how they got past the first defenses so easily,” whispers Nate.

“Then what drove her off? Did anyone get her?” asks Jones.

“We didn’t even see one. Only vampires. But she could have attacked from farther away. I don’t know how their magic works.”

“Send some people to look at the bodies,” suddenly orders the King. “See if they find a witch among them.”

Some wolves depart immediately, and I realize there are a lot more Blood Moon wolves than I thought, too. Moreover, a lot of them look perfectly fine. What are these monsters?

“What about what happened in the south, then? That time, the trees helped the packs. I don’t think a witch would have changed her mind.”

Wait a minute, trees helped the packs? I exchange a glance with Danny. As far as we know, there’s only one Earth Witch in the area! Don’t tell me…

And they can't change their elements, either. What if there is another Witch left in the South?' asks the Sea Wolf Alpha.

“If there is, she helped us. She was on our side,” I suddenly blurt out.

Fuck, everyone’s eyes are on me now. Why did I even open my damn mouth? I was suddenly worried they would turn on Sylviana, and it just happened. Even Danny is giving me the are-you-crazy look. Are they going to overlook this?

This time, I can’t help but glance Nate’s way, and of course, he’s looking at me too, as surprised as the others. Damn it.

“I don’t like the idea of a remnant witch here,” finally says the Sea Moon Alpha.

“Me neither.”

Great, they decided to ignore me, but they are still after Sylviana. What do we do now? I exchange a glance with Daniel again, wondering what to do.

“I will take care of it! Let me look for the witch!”

All the Alphas suddenly look at the youngest Black brother, Liam, who’s still in his wolf form next to Nora. Him? Don’t tell me…

“Elena. Do you think Sylviana might have a thing for younger guys?”

“That kid? He’s just a teenager! How old is Sylviana anyway?”

“No idea.”

I’m still dumbfounded while Liam Black is convincing his brothers and the others to let him take care of the witch. Now that I think about it, Sylviana did say she had some sort of spy close to Nora. Could it be that kid? Seriously?

A long silence follows Liam Black’s words, but it’s obvious Nate and his brothers are mind-linking between themselves. Damn, if our theory is right, I hope that Liam kid can get the last word.

“If you want, Liam, you take care of it,” suddenly says Nate. “We have our hands full as it is with this mess anyway... Just ask if you need help. Don’t take on a witch by yourself.”

I guess the kid won, then. The Alphas start talking about what to do with the corpses, and I understand there has been a lot of damage throughout the whole city. Fuck, I didn’t even think of checking in with them! With all that mind-linking, I kind of shut them out.

Once again, I ignore my uncle’s voice, trying to find a friendlier tone. I guess Daniel is doing the same because I can feel his wolf too.

“Elena?”

“Levi. How are things there?”

“It’s bad. You should come back, quickly.”

“What? What happened? Is everyone okay?”
