The Witch and the Three Kings

Council Meeting

Wyatt

Leaving my little moonbeam behind felt I was leaving my heart behind, because I was leaving my heart behind. I now known her for a full 24 hours but it felt like longer. I don't know how I will sleep without her. Without her body tangled in mine, without being able to run my hand up and down her curves.

I hated crawling out of bed with her asking me not to go. I'm still in awe of our bond, as a human, she shouldn't be feeling it as much as she it. If I didn't know any better, I'd think she wasn't human at all, "hmm" Black give his unwanted opinion.

We are driving to the airport, I need to be at the King Council. All Kings of different species come together once every two years to touch base, make sure wars are not started over simple misunderstandings. Even though three years ago was not a misunderstanding, we just didn't have prove it was him.

I know I'm technically still not the Alpha King, but I had to attend since the actual King could not attend, so I have to attend. Never thought I'd hate going more than now.

It's really nothing super urgent, just a bunch of rulers drinking and showing face so others would uphold the peace treaty.

First day is usually a mixer, big men, strong drinks and business talk. Second day is a welcome dinner and day three is the actual council meeting. Just a long drawn out week for no reason.

Arriving at the airport and Black just wanted to go back to where we just came from, he didn't want to leave our Khaia, especially unprotected. She may not be marked, but she is still my mate.

"Send a couple of deltas after me, you stay here and look after your charge" I leave instructions for my beta. "Logan will be handling business while we off pack"

Usually, Jaime would be taking care of the pack and Logan would travel with me, but Jaime as the beta he needs to protect his Luna when the Alpha can not and I can not right now. Leaving my moonbeam alone is out of the question.

"I'll be with Luna for as long as you are gone and she is off pack. As for the deltas they left before you, you'll meet them at the airport. Head delta is doing a sweep of the private airport and route to the hotel" my beta is so efficient, I don't know what I'd do without him.

As I step up to the plane I turn to Jaime "protect her" I say to my beta. "With my life, Alpha" the is so much conviction in his voice I knew he would protect my Beam.

Arriving at the council and I really don't need to mingle, I'd rather go up to my room and talk to Khaia. I'm about to go up when my name is called, I turn around and see King Eric make his way towards me. Eric is the King of Dragons, high tempered guy, but good King.

"I thought you weren't coming, how are you man?" he holds out his hand for me to shake, and I do. "I have to be here, but I could definitely be somewhere else right now" I talk out a humourless chuckle.

"What have I missed?" I ask as he ushers me to the bar. Eric is five years older and has become somewhat of a friend since I unofficially took over the Kingdom.

"Apparently, King Marcus will be in attendance this time" I looked at him in shock. Marcus, King of the Demons and a notorious heartless king, he never attends the council, though he is always invited. Him being here is definitely a shock.

Eric and I have a few drinks and discuss possible business collaborations, we both have businesses in the tech space. We hang out a bit until I just need my own space.

The next few days are uneventful and I'm beginning to think I didn't really need to be here for this. All we have been doing is drinking and waiting for the late comers since no treaty can be signed without all the original signees.

I went into the council meeting thinking it would be the same as always. We all filled in and set in our designated spots. King Eric, of the Dragons. Queen Rain, of the Fae. King Azriel, of the Werebears. King Marcus, of the Demons and little old me, Alpha Prince Wyatt, of the Werewolves, sitting in for King William.

The meeting begins as usual and the formalities of talking over the different treaties we have on the agenda. Through out the meeting, Azriel kept his eyes on me, like he was looking for something. It definitely kept me on edge and more so Black.

We don't like this man, if it was up to us, he'd be dead. He is the sole reason for my mother's death, he may have hidden behind witches, but he called for the attack. Even then, it felt as though they were looking for something.

Black let's out a low growl, and they gets the attention of of the attendees. The bastard smirks and looks directly at me this time.

"Something is different about you, little Alpha" he says that like he's much older the me, when he is the same age as Eric. "You found her, haven't you? I can smell her power off you all the way here."

I'm shoved so quickly to the back of my conciousness as a power growl rips through me from Black. "DON'T YOU DARE MENTION HER!" he growls out, "you have no business with her and I will make sure you never even so much as see her, let alone breathe the same air as her" Black is pissed and I am confused.

He give me back control, "THE MEETING IS OVER WYATT, TIME TO LEAVE!" I'm disoriented and confused about what is happening. Azriel looks happy about something and Black is pissed.

"Is she back?" it's Marcus this time, I'm not even sure what the question is. Everyone is shocked at the development and my wolf wants to leave.

"If you two are here" Marcus says that as he is looking between Azriel and I, "of course she is back. Hanman, time to go home" Marcus stands up and leaves.

"HUMAN! MEETING IS OVER. GET TO MATE NOW!" my wolf yells. I start getting scared for Khaia at this point. All the missing hole will have to be filled later.

I bow respectfully to the attendees still present and leave. "Landon, get the plane ready, we leaving" I link my head delta.

"Are you going to tell me what happened in there?" I ask Black as I make my way through the venue. "Mate is in trouble, we have to be with her" he responds, I can feel his agitation, I can feel his fear. My wolf is never scared, he's an Alpha King, fear is never a feeling he possesses, until now.

"What kind of trouble?" I ask. "Just go"

We make quick work of the journey to the private airport and we are in the air in ten minutes flat. "Is she safe?" I link Jaime. "Yes, Alpha, Luna is in the City, she was busy with meetings earlier, now she is going to gym" Jaime responded. "Don't lose her, I'm on my way home"

"We have to be honest with her, Wyatt. For her to trust us, we need to trust her. she has to know" Black is very firm about this. "It's only been a few days, she's not ready" i tell him.

"She's stronger than you think"

two and a half hours and were landing. Made it to the car and called Beam "love, where are you?I asked her. "I'm at Mike's estate" her voice came through "is everything okay?". "Don't go anywhere, I'm coming to get you" and I hang up.
