“Do you think we are doing the right thing?” I ask Luca and Jax as we pull away.
“I mean the hunters will know I am going to see the council with them having 3 feeding them information. They will know that they failed in taking Florence and I doubt they will just give up, they will be scheming surely” i worry. “What about the pack? What if they use this time as one to attack?”
“I understand your concerns. But i also know that despite you both not being there the pack is in good hands. You have a Beta with Alpha Blood leading, you have twin Alphas there for added strength, your dad is a Guardian Wolf. I’ve seen you fight Nova, if he’s anything like you then they will regret if they do attack. Plus you have Sophie who can fight like hell, as well as how many elite warriors? Not to mention the previous Alpha and Luna” Luca points out.
“Over 200 elite warriors including ex elite who are at the age to still fight, then we have almost 1200 others who can fight” Jax admits. “I had Evan call them all in so the pack is closer together, no one is staying remote or any further than 3 miles from the pack house. Theo is also returning this evening along with Florence. She is being escorted by warriors from my uncles pack and he has stated that he can be contacted to assist if any situation requires it.”
“I actually think we are more in danger than your pack” Luca admits. “If they have 150 hunters then they could easily be taken out by that many wolves, it would be idiotic of them to attack.”
“And what if they do have witches helping?” I ask nervously.
“Well I know Florence said she was certain only 2 took her and I believe her, but the extraction report states they killed 9 hunters, they must have been waiting in the vehicles. So I’m not ruling out witches being involved in actually taking Florence especially after the whole Rose fiasco. Maybe it was a need to know basis on your grandfathers end” Jax points out.
“Even then I doubt they would attack your pack, they wouldn’t have that many witches to help” Luca assures us. “Us on the other hand” he frets.
“We are walking into a situation that is not ideal” I admit.
“The council approves of using witches when necessary, it could even have been the traitors suggestion” Jax muses.
“True” I sigh. “Well we won’t know until we get to this shit show.”
Hearing a splutter of laughter from Jax and Luca I smirk, “what?” I ask innocently.
“Shit show” Laurence laughs.
“Would you have preferred me refer to it as a bonding experience?” I ask with a giggle.
“Fair enough sis” Luca chuckles grinning at me in the mirror.
Settling in we continue our journey for the next hour and a half talking comfortably amongst ourselves as we try to keep our nerves at bay. Pulling up to the gates to the council building I look at the two men who mean the world to me.
“Whatever happens in there, we are in it together” I say to them with a comforting smile which they both return.
“Always” they chorus.
Pulling up I see two elders waiting for us outside the doors with expressionless faces. Jax parks the car and jumps out before opening my door and offering me his hand. Walking up to the council men with Jax beside me and Luca close behind I ensure a relaxed smile is on my face.
“Hello gentlemen” I say politely bowing my head in respect.
“Nova” they say stiffly back to me.
“Luna Nova” Jax says with a light growl, his wolf offended for his mate.
“Our apologises..Luna Nova” Elder Frost corrects before welcoming Jax and Luca. “If you could all follow me I will show you to your rooms. Luna Nova you will be staying on the 2nd floor, Alpha Jax, Beta Luca you will both be in your respective rooms on the 3rd floor.”
With a laugh I look at them, “I will be staying with my mate councillors” I inform them.
