He shook his head. “No.”
“Aiden!” she yelled.
Her mate immediately popped back in the room. “Yes?”
“Is Dad still on the line?”
“Yes.”
“Can you ask him to ask Lucius Mandrake if he would like to take over as witch elder in Lycaonia?”
“You heard?” he asked, speaking into his phone. “He said, he’s calling him now on his office phone.”
“Pip, can you call Zoe and see if she’s with her brother?”
“Roger!” Pip said, putting down her shirt and pulling out his phone. Seconds later, Pip was talking. “Hey Zoe! I’m fine, how are you? Is your brother with you, by chance? He is?” Pip walked over to Meryn and put the phone down on speaker.
“Hey Flamethrower!”
“Hey Menace!”
“I take it your brother is listening in.”
Zoe laughed. “He is now.”
“Hello Mr. Appleblossom Jeans, can you take over as witch elder in Éire Danu?”
“Are you serious?”
“Yup.”
“Aren’t there supposed to be proper channels for this?” he asked.
“Probably, but that shit takes too long and I’m about to head to Storm Keep. I need support at council level.”
“What about Lucius?”
“I’m moving him to act as Elder in Lycaonia.”
“That’s actually a damn good move.”
“I know.”
“That leaves a vacancy in Storm Keep. Technically, I was a unit leader for Sigma.”
“Fuck, I’ll work on that, but for the record, yes or no for you?”
“I’m in,” he replied.
“You’ll live in Éire Danu of course, but be on standby to come to Storm Keep,” she advised.
“I was already planning on going,” he said, darkly.
“Cool. Catch you later.”
She handed the phone back to Pip. “Can you get Heath?”
He brightened. “Yes.” He took the phone and started calling.
