I try to mingle with the witches while they are eating their pizza. Considering that I am the only one that is not full witch and that eats meat I got a supreme pizza for just me but for some reason some pieces keep coming up missing. Seems odd when I am surrounded by witches but I guess that it is possible that one of them likes meat. After all, Elle did have some jerky hiding in her closet at her old cottage.I walk over to the group that has the pond that I have been eyeballing the most. It is the group with Rosa's granddaughter in it. I still have not officially met her and the others do not know that we have any history at all so I make sure that I do not give anything away as I walk up to her group."Hello, is the pizza okay for everyone? I did not get to ask everybody what they wanted so I just went ahead and ordered pizza." I tell them all. They all nod to me with their mouths full instead of replying. "I hope you are all enjoying this little competition that we have going on
Moving on to the other three ponds. They all have some aspects that I am looking for but are missing others. One is the perfect picture of functionality. It has the right plant life and room for plent of fish. The water is crystal clear and perfect as well. This one is just missing the majestic, picturesque aspect that I would like to see as well. The next one would by all means favor wildlife but the plant life is not quite where I would hope it to be. It is decent to look at as it has some boulders that are placed rather strategically but it is definitely not as pretty as I would like. The last one has this gorgeous black sand that makes the water look darker. There is a decent amount of plant life and a few small boulders surrounding it but still missing something. Overall each team seems to have done a decent job but none of them have quite gotten to the mark. It is going to be difficult to pick a winner as none of them have fulfilled all of the tasks that I set before them. On
"What do you mean I can claim a room? I am staying with Kevin now." She tells me like I have offended her."I know you are but you never know when you either want some time apart or you might find yourself craving the company of some witches. You are a member of my family and you are always welcome here. Even if you only use the room once a year it is yours." I tell her. "I will think on it if you don't mind. I definitely had not planned on staying a single night here ever. I understand what you are saying. It is just that after everything that happened between the witches and me I do not see myself spending much time here ever. There were a few witches that were in training with me that I thought were rather decent though." She tells me.After thinking for a moment I ask, "Those witches that were decent, they don't happen to be Hazel, Jade and Sage do they?"Looking bewildered at my comment she says, "Yes, actually, they are. How did you know that though?""Just had a feeling after
The witches are all distracted with gossip when I leave the kitchen again. I have no idea what else I could do with the witches to keep them busy for the rest of the day so I guess it is time to head back to the pack for a while. I smile and wave to a few of the witches as I pass by. Some of them seem to actually want me to stay while I can tell that Rosa and her crew are more than happy to see me leave for the afternoon.Rushing back to the packhouse, I realize that it is already about dinner time. I slept in so late after my night that the day is just flying by. I am really excited to see Dante after spending the night apart and practically the entire day today as well. I have so many things to tell him after the day that I had today.All of the boys will be done with training tomorrow except for the one that has to stay an extra day. So far, they are all doing well besides the two that are still behind. The one that got caught sneaking around last night is actually doing better tha
"What do you mean, witch's council? I did not realize that they had one." I tell her in shock."Of course we do. Somebody has to be able to make sure that all of the Covens are falling the rules that keep us witches safe. They must have learned that you took over the Coven. Hopefully they do not know of your other heritage yet." She tells me."I take it that that would be bad?" I say to her."Yes, very. They will try to determine if you are a threat or not or if you really are blessed by the Moon Goddess. You will not be able to take them all on the way that you did with Morden. They are much stronger than the entire Coven combined. "That sounds rather ominous. I guess that would explain how it got into my bathroom without anybody noticing. I thought it was rather strange but now I know how it happened." I tell her.She nods her head at me and motions for me to sit at one of the chairs that she created for her room. She sits in one right next to me and I create a small light to hover
"You seemed pretty distracted all throughout dinner. Everything okay?" Dante asks me later on as we are getting into bed."More bad news. More possible threats. Just another day at this point I guess." I say tiredly."What happened this time?" He asks hesitantly."Did you know that there is such a thing as a witch's council?" I ask. When he shakes his head no I continue, "Well there is. It is a governing body of witches that keeps track of all of the witch Covens. Apparently they have heard of me." "What do you mean, they have heard of you?" He asks sounding more nervous."I mean that they have heard about me taking over the Coven and they would like to come and meet me. We have no idea how they learned this information but it seems like somebody has informed them of me taking over. Now, they said that they will be here in the next week sometime to meet me. They made a comment about my heritage but at this point it is unknown if they know that I am a werewolf or not." I tell him."O
Preparing for the Witch Council to visit is not an easy task. I have to make sure that they have accomodations, a private kitchen and I have to make sure that the witches are all ready for their visit as well. We want to prove that we are a completely competent Coven so we also want to make sure that we have classrooms ready for our novice witches to practice in. There is a huge list of things to get done before they show up. It would be nice if we had a more set time than a week's window. Elle is working on making the classrooms with some of the girls while I am working on the quarters for the council. Seeing as how I have never been in a tradition witch's classroom it makes more sense for me to work on their living quarters. Plus, I can make all of their rooms in the same amount of time that it takes the others to make the classrooms.Not wanting to offend them by making too simple of bedrooms, I follow the pattern that we used through the rest of the house into their rooms. Everyt
Even though we went to the store with every intention of getting stuff for the Witch Council we somehow managed to spend just as much money on the baby. He might have all of the essentials but I definitely went on a spending spree for him. He has an entire wardrobe to grow into as well as tons of toys that he cannot even play with yet. Luckily Dante is loaded or else there is no way that this would have worked otherwise. Since the witches regard children differently than they do grown ups, I take Scarlett and Ulfred with me to unload all of the supplies. When I pull up Hazel and her group of friends walk out to help me but stop short when they see Scarlett get out and walk over to Ulfred. None of them move as she slings a wrap around her and places him in it gently. After she gets him situated Hazel approaches slowly. "Um...you are the one that we ambushed right?" She asks hesitantly. When Scarlett nods Hazel hangs her head and says, "I wanted to apologize for my part in it. I did n
