“A true leader accepts their mistakes,” Delsanra said confidently. She had been fairly quiet, observing and listening, but she stared at the men on the screen firmly. “The thing is, you let it slide; surely there were red flags… Elder Dylan, I personally remember pleading with you at one point not to send me home with Samson. A lot needs to be changed within your system. Make those changes, accept your wrongs and either take control, or I’m sure there are many that can take the position as leaders and actually do good for their people,” she said, frowning slightly. The man on the left clenched his jaw, and the one in the middle raised an eyebrow.
“We will conduct a clear out here too… Magdalene, Edward, I will leave the rest to you. When you find Reginald and the others, they will be trialled-”
“They won’t be alive to be trialled. When I get my hands on them, they’re dead,” I said coldly. My eyes flashed green as, once again, anger flared inside of me.
A Walk through the Trees
Rayhan
Aslight tense silence fell until the men nodded.
“Very well, if he is found alive then…”
They soon signed off, and we were getting ready to leave after finishing off the discussions about the planned attack.
“You have our word; we will not attack. What Reginald was planning was regarding the dead witches. However, like you said, the witch hunters are a small part. If we are attacked, we will attack too.”
“Yeah, attack those who attack you, not fucking innocents,” Uncle growled.
“Moreover, if you do find anything on the hunters, let us know. We will also keep you updated on anything we find, whether it’s the escaped witches or the werewolf group,” I said quietly. Magdalene nodded as Janaina gave a few suggestions before we finally got up to leave.
“So, we won’t see you again?” Raihana asked Janaina.
“Of course, we shall. However, there’s a lot of work here that needs doing, so no one suffers again,” Janaina said, her eyes flicking to Delsanra, and I realised that no matter how uncaring she acted, there was definitely a bond there.
“So, is our teaching done?” Raihana asked, arms crossed. It was obvious she had grown attached.
“A witch’s teaching is never complete. We will still arrange rendezvous, and I’m sure the Coven can lend you both some spell books,” Janaina said, looking at Magdalene, who nodded.
“Perhaps you can come for some summer camps to learn too... you are both witches from high houses,”she said. “You both have a legac-”
“Our only legacy is the one we will create for our own future. Not one that we have inherited or are expected to,” Delsanra said, her eyes flashing confidently. “We will consider the lessons… however, we won’t be tied to this Coven.”
“Let Serafina speak for herself, dear,” Edward said, looking disappointed at Delsanra’s statement. I pulled her into my arms, smirking slightly as Raihana raised an eyebrow.
“My girl has said what I was thinking. We shall see, and yeah, any place that has tortured my brother’s mate to such an extreme extent is not somewhere that I would ever want to be part of,” she said haughtily. Chris smirked.
“Guess that gave you your answer,” he remarked. Lola simply shook her head, satisfied with the girl’s comments.
“Maybe one day this place will be different, and I truly hope it is… but until then…” Delsanra left her words hanging as she turned to Janaina. “Thank you for everything.”
“No need to thank me,” Janaina said curtly.
Delsanra smiled before both women gave each other a smile, and she turned to me. Our eyes met, and I realised it was finally time to go home. I held my hand out to her, and she smiled, taking it as I led her out of there. Things were not over, but we were getting there.
“Well, I’m fucking done with this shit right now. I’m missing my nympho,” Uncle said as we walked through the woods, heading out of the witches’ territory.
The sun was setting, casting soft hues through the trees, a soft breeze blew, and one would never imagine that something had happened around here only hours earlier.
“And the babies! Honestly, I am still mad there was an entire baby bash, and I didn’t get to go…” Raihana said with a pout.
“You didn’t miss shit, just annoying women cooing over those two hoodwinkers,” Uncle Al said.
“Already bullying them, Uncle? Or just scared knowing they will have you wrapped around their thumb?” I remarked, smirking.
“That shit ain’t happening,” Uncle Al growled. Oh, I was sure it was happening…
“They are Rossi princesses, I’m sure they will definitely have the upper hand,” Chris added, making Raihana’s heart race, something everyone clicked on. The King’s sharp eyes went to hers calculatingly.
