Chapter 343

Blue
I walk down the halls and down the stairs. The room where mother probably had all her important meetings with the elders. This is not the life I want for myself. This will never be the life I want for myself. I have never seen myself as a leader. Someone that tells people what to do. I just want a quiet life. Maybe I am a lot more like my father. I mean, most times I wondered why he was so secluded. I wondered how he could have lived the life he had lived all those years. I always looked at him and prayed for a life in a different direction. I guess wanting a family was important to me.
I think it is important to him too. When he found me, I could tell that he didn’t want to let me go. he was upset that he missed all those years without me. He wanted to make up for it and I didn’t treat him the way he deserved. Even now. I don’t call him dad. I call him Jules. I was being rebellious. I mean, he wasn’t a father to me. I grew up without one, all thanks to my mother. She kept me away from him and even with her death, I still haven’t let go of that. I want to forgive her, but I cant. I don’t know how to.
I stop in front of the door and take a long deep breath. I hear their voices on the other end of the door.
Very loud and clear.
They don’t know that I am here yet. I want the upper hand right now and maybe this is eavesdropping but this is really the only way I will know what they are thinking. This is the only way I will be able to give them the answers that they want.
“Levine is dead. he is the only one in the family left,’’ Magnus speaks up. I hold unto the handle of the door. They are talking about me. I need to know what they are thinking.
“he cannot rule the coven. He is not cut out for it,’’ Helena interjects. She is the one that doesn’t like me. Not like I like anyone here. They are all selfish and they only care about their asses.
“He is the next in line. It has to be him,’’ Magnus responds. It almost seems like he has made up his mind. He wants me to take over when I don’t even want to. This should be up to me but in the end, they think it is their call to make decisions for other people.
“He is weak, he is a half breed. Do you think the chief of the coven should be a weakling who doesn’t even know how to conjure spells?’’
It is not like they are lying. I am weak, I am a half breed and I am not the best at magic. All those years of being in denial, all those years of not accepting who I am. It is all showing right now and they are all right.
“He will learn. He is still young. he should be given the opportunity.”
I take this as my opportunity to knock on the door. Listening to them talk about me wasn’t really a good idea but at least now I know that they all don’t think it is a good idea to let me take over. that could be a good thing for me. I mean, I don’t even want what they are arguing about. If they would just talk to me, they will see that this is not really something I want. They will know my plans of leaving. At the end of it all, these people only care about themselves and their precious coven. It doesn’t matter that I just lose my mother and aunt. At the same time, in the span of one week. They don’t think that I will be affected by this. they asked me to execute Levine, even though it hits too close to home.
“Come in Blue’’ I hear Magnus’s voice through the door. Slowly turning the handle, I walk into the room. They are all seated in the same places they were the last time. all eyes on me again. I am not as nervous as I was the last time. last time, I had so much to lose. I didn’t know where Rex was, he was still tethered to Levine. I needed them to help me, now I don’t need anything from them.
“We meet you again, young one,’’ he breathes out. He is dressed in the same clothes as the last time. nothing has changed about him. Is this the life they live in this place? to me, it seems very pathetic. I could never survive in such a sedentary life.
“Yes,’’ I manage.
He smiles “So, we hear that Levine is dead?’’
I nod.
He smiles “From our information, she escaped and you found her dead in the woods.’’
He says it like he is so sure that is what happened. I furrow my brows in confusion because I don’t know where he got his information from. that is so far from what happened “Where did you get that from?’’ I ask him.
“Isn’t that what happened?’’
I shake my head. He hasn’t answered my question “We never had her in our custody. She used a cloaking spell. It was my mate all along but we just couldn’t see it.”
“So are you saying your mate was the one that killed Analise?’’
That is what he took from all I said?
What the fuck?
“No, this has nothing to my mate. this is not about him. Levine wasn’t working alone. Badger was in on it all along.’’
This has been the plan all along. I need them to know he is a threat. He wants the power, just as much as my mother. She had this thirst for power and being the chief calmed her down but there was always someone that wanted it from her and it ended up being her confidant.
“He said you were going to say that,” Magnus reveals and then he looks away from me and to the door “Come in Badger,’’ he says loudly and I hear the creak of the door and footsteps. I already know who it is, but the confusion and anger are not hidden in my expression.
He had the guts to come here.
“Hello Blue,’’ he smiles widely.
Fuck.
