All Chapters of The Pack's Emissary: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Havermouth, Present Time"Whilst we're all here," Father Isaiah spoke up as the Mer stepped out of the shop. "And before these gentlemen disconnect," he nodded to the screen. "I have a proposition from The Order of the Phoenix that I would like to discuss with you all.""Someone has forgotten that they are a prisoner it seems," Aislen commented. There was something... Different about the man, she noticed and frowned as she studied him closer. He had come in bruised and bloody, with broken fingers and a swollen lip."Am I a prisoner though?" Father Isaiah arched an eyebrow. "Or an ally? You heard that Merman. Even if you give him what he wants he won't promise peace. He only promises to talk to those above him. They'll probably just wait until you hand your friend over and then attack. On the other hand, we can unify our efforts against them. The Order of Nexsis has the armies of the world at our beck and call as well as our own. You have your people, and your supernatural abilities. U

Havermouth, Present Time“Well?” Phillip asked half an hour and three destroyed apples later as he showed them to the door again, leaving Toby with Lauren, Anne, and a delighted Jessica, picking mashed apple up from around the room. “He’s something supernatural. No human is that strong.”“No,” Talen agreed. “But there’s no blood lust, and so far, no shifting, correct?”“I guess we’ll have to wait for the full moon to see if he has to shift,” Phillip agreed.“There is another possibility,” Aislen said slowly. It was obvious that the blood given to Toby had done something, but she didn’t think that he was vampire, werewolf, or hybrid, which really only left one other option considering the blood that he’d been given. “I asked Samuel to give Toby his blood.”“There goes the décor if he shifts,” Rhett joked.“Where is Samuel?” Phillip wondered looking up automatically. “Perhaps he could tell?”“He’ll be somewhere up there,” Aislen stepped through the calf-length grass until she was in a c

Havermouth, Present Time“Why in all that’s hellish?” Rhett complained into his pillow when Cameron crawled over him, seeking freedom from the bed.“Shhh,” Cameron whispered. “I’m just going to get some work done.”“Just go,” Rhett’s mutters were slurred as he slipped back into slumber.Aislen was warmly tucked into Talen’s chest and felt as if she registered the exchange from a deep, soft cocoon of sleep that was not yet ready to release her. She drifted off into dream. In it she watched from one side of the river as a young woman began to undress. The dream was so vivid that she could feel the bark of the tree that she leaned against under her palm, she could smell the leaves crushed beneath her boots and feel the wet heat of the afternoon on her skin.The woman removed the cap that covered her hair, and then unwound the coronet of braids, weaving her fingers through the strands until she was cloaked in gold. As she waded into the water, her hair spreading over the surface and the

Havermouth, Present TimeNiarthen’s meeting took place within the vehicle that they had travelled in. A portion of the dashboard functioned as a screen, and showed an ornate meeting room, the walls curved and smooth but layered like the inside of a shell, and softly iridescent. The seats were stepped into the floor, and male and female Mer in beautifully draped cloth and elaborate jewellery, sat solemnly as Niarthen began to speak.Although she did not understand much of the conversation between Niarthen and the panel of serious-looking Mer that he spoke to, she could pick out the names of Aislen, her mates, and Leighton when they were spoken. From the frequency of their names, she guessed that Niarthen was relaying the events of the previous day, and the story regarding the origin of the water pollution.As the meeting progressed and the Mer on the other side of the screen began to speak more and more, and mostly amongst themselves, with Niarthen occasionally interjecting, Lyric coul

Havermouth, Present TimeSigrid heard from Talen that he and his mates were making their way from the house by the river and steeled herself for her next move. She left Abigail and her mates attempting to prepare for the Mer arrival and went to begin their betrayal.To her surprise, as she reached the hospital, Greg caught up with her. “You did not think we would leave this to you alone?” He asked mildly as he fell into step, and they walked together to the doors. “We all know that he is dangerous.”“I am not sure yet how to play this,” she admitted. “I am hoping that inspiration will strike in the moment.”“I am sure that you will handle it magnificently,” he put his hand on her waist, connecting them, and preventing them from becoming separated as the hallway was busy with people preparing for the casualties of battle.They were greeted as they passed through, and Sigrid was stopped several times to give direction and updates.“Soon,” she answered when asked when the Mer would arriv
