“Now, please Sheila, I know that you are talking from a place of anger, and I am sorry that we failed your expectations, but please don’t forget the goal for all these discussions; that we know the next step to take concerning the stuff going around in the supernatural world right now. Please, I plead that you be lenient with us.” Peter advocated, obviously not at peace with his wife bearing the brunt of Sheila's anger and pain.“Lenient? Were you being lenient when you ousted my daughter from the pack? When you convinced your son, whom I can see has no mind of his own even though he is a Lycan, to reject his mate for reasons best known to you? Now, we are on that, now that I have known why a phantom was after my daughter, can you tell me why you ousted my daughter from her pack?” Sheila asked, her hands still folded across her chest, her eyes blazing with anger, such that a few tremors were beginning to upset the floors of the halls; a happening that didn’t go unnoticed by the people

“Sheila, that’s enough. I am aware that you are angry and frustrated with my family and my pack, which is yours, but please remember that Melvina isn’t just your friend, but also the luna of this pack.” Peter started, standing up from his mighty chair, sighing when he heard the soft unbelieving gasps from a few from the group of seven. Probably Sheila's daughters. He hadn’t meant to lord his authority over them, but he couldn’t afford to let them trample over his mate because of one mistake. No, he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if that happened. He felt Melvina’s touch on his hand, and turned aside to stare at her. It’s okay my love. Please sit down. Let's not make this meeting turn out for the worse. If anything, I deserve this. She said through their mind path, and he calmed down, choosing to sit down. “I know that my family and I messed up, I know that I shouldn’t have let my brother trample on this pack, but can we focus more on the dire important issues than insulting

Melvina perked up at Derek’s question. The prophecy. What is it? She was glad that her son had asked this question for it has been ringing in her mind for a while.She had been hearing about the prophecy since this meeting started, but truthfully, she had no idea what it was. She had only known in the passing, from Agrip, during one of the times she had walked in on him reading one of those his large history books, that it talked about a saviour that would save the entire universe from demise. She wasn’t aware of the details. So, it was understandable that she was curious. She was also of the opinion that they should work together with the ancients for now, and not worry about the future consequences, because if they don’t, there might not be any future. She had already communicated her thoughts to her mate, and he agreed with her on this. Their pack needed all the help they could get. And about where Emma would go after all this, they would let the redhead decide. She hoped that by

At first, there was no visible change in the portrait. It was just as normal, until five minutes later.The people in the hall first noticed that the painted family now had a scowl on their faces that had been absent before that time. As a matter of fact, the portraits had been smiling. But now, the smiles were off.“Did you see that? Derek’s face has a frown now. It’s like he is pouting,’‘Yes, I am seeing that. Do you think it is as a result of the magic the ancient is spurting…hey look! Little Eva's mouth. She is angry!”“Yes, I see that. What is happening? Why is the painting getting hostile?”“Could it be that the pregnant ancient was right? Could there be magic spyware in the painting that is reacting with the magic?”“Probably so! Omg! Look! What is that black smoke erupting from the painting?”A black smokey figure emanated from behind the painting, and immediately the painting disintegrated into ashes. The hall erupted in screams. Some people ran back, as the black ghouly c

“Another painting before the pack split?”“She saw the painting move? How? Did the painting talk?”“She spent the night at the alpha’s palace at one time? Were they that close?”“She had dreams too? Like little Eva? Were they visions too or mere dreams?”“After all this, they still sent her away? Will she ever come back? I will understand if she doesn’t. There is no higher betrayal than this.”“Do you think our warriors are safe? Did they put these demons inside them? You know, when they exchanged them.”When Sheila heard the last part, she couldn’t help but ask herself the reason why Arnold had suggested a change in warriors. Could it be that they had been used somehow to propagate Arnold’s plan?Maya thought the same too. She was wondering if it had been the reason why Leo had betrayed her. Could it be that he had been possessed by a demon that had taken the reins of his mind at the last moment?Kane sighed. They would have to check the warriors too. He said that too. ”We will check
