Delphine
For the next few days my phone was bombarded with calls and text messages from Leora, it was clear that when Varouk returned he filled her in on the Cillian situation. In the end I reluctantly answered what seem to be the millionth call from her “Hello” I answered “Delphine! Have you been ignoring me” Leora squawked at me, her frustration clear from her tone? “No, I have just had a lot of assignments due “I explained. “Anything you want to tell me” “Anything you want to ask” I retorted; I could hear her huff. “Well yes! I want you to tell me all about Cillian!” She said, I could hear her smile protruding across her face when she spoke. “Umm, well he is nice” is all I could really say “Nice?” She replied? “Yeah Nice, and I guess you could call him handsome” I added “Varouk said he is okay!” Leora added, which is odd as Varouk was not someone that was easily impressed. “Did he?” I asked, “Yes! It was strange, he didn’t even seem bothered about him. I would have sworn that the day you found your mate he would have become insufferable” Leora announced “Well, He was at the start, apparently they almost came to blows” I told her “as expected?” She remarked “What is he saying now?" I retorted “Nothing, he left to go visit the hunters” She stated in a very matter of fact way “About the Fae deaths?” I asked “I would assume so, how are you going anyway? Varouk said you got caught up in it” “Oh, that was nothing, I am all cool” I said, Downplaying my involvement. As strong as Leora was ever since our parents died, she has been a little more emotional about me. “He said you were stabbed and incapacitated” her stern voice echoed through the phone “Like I said it was nothing, I wasn’t even weak from the wolfbane, just the silver dagger” i responded “What do you mean wolfsbane?” Leora asked “Well before I was stabbed, he threw a few pouches of wolfbane at me, but it honestly didn’t affect me” I explained, Leora was silent, “Leora? You still there” “Oh yes, umm dad was I immune to Wolfsbane” she replied “What?” I asked, I had even heard of a wolf being I immune before I thought it was just my adrenaline at the time. “He was Immune, that is how he became such a good fighter” she explained “I didn’t know” I replied “Not many people did, just mom Varouk and a few Alphas. You were too young at the time” Leora said. “Have you told anyone about the wolfsbane” she asked “No, but Cillian saw it” I said “Just keep this to yourself for now” Leora said. To which I agreed, we spoke for a few moments and as she lectured me about forgiving Mae. It had been some days since I saw her, I assumed she was avoiding me and the others given what happen at the ball, Charlie was still furious with her as was Kayla. After speaking with Leora Charlie and Kayla met in my room, we were sitting listening to music and chatting, it felt odd not having Mae around I thought. “I forgive her” I said out loud, Charlie gazed over the magazine at me “Forgive who” he retorted glaring at me “I forgive Mae, she made a mistake, a foolish mistake where she didn’t think of the consequences, but she isn’t bad” I explained, Kayla sat I silence not indicating her thoughts on the matter. Charlie slammed the magazine down, “It is not just the actions of actually going through with the spell that I am upset about. It is the fact that she used me to do it” he exclaimed, Charlie was still very angry “She came to talk about mate blocks she learned in history and asked if witches still do them, fishing for information which I obliged by telling her the only way to get one would be from a Sorcerer. So, she took that information and went and got the spell and what for? To stop a guy who doesn’t even know who she is from being with his own mate??” Charlie was now standing and ranting, I understood more now about his frustration, it was not just about a spell for him it was her using his magical knowledge to get what she wanted. “He is right Delphine, what she did was so wrong not just because it has caused you and Cillian problems but also, she was trying to mess with a sacred mate bond for her own gain” Kayla replied adding to Charlie’s arguments. “I know! I agree what she did was incredibly wrong and selfish, but she is all alone now” I replied feeling torn between wanted to be so furious and guilt that she was alone. “Well, if this gets fixed, I’ll contemplate talking to her again” Charlie said pointing to me. Kayla rolled her eyes the jury was still out with Kayla I thought. It would be hard for Kayla when it came to Mae as they come from the same pack and families are very close, I thought. My phone buzzed Heading to black creek with Joanna, meeting the Sorcerers xx I smiled and replied Good luck “Any updates” Kayla asked as I put my phone down. “Yeah, he is heading to black creek with Joanna” I said with a smile “Black creek? Gross” Charlie remarked as he put the magazine back to his face, he was incredibly grumpy now a real sad sack I thought. “We should probably start planning your birthday Kayla” I remarked, the magazine flew out of Charlie’s hands as pure joy from party planning consumed him. “I told you guys no big party, last year almost killed me” Kayla remarked Charlie laughed “Sure! Sure!” he said “Thank gosh it is in 3 days, no time to plan anything” she smugly said picking up the magazine Charlie threw. Charlie and I both looked at each other and threw our heads back and laughed uncontrollably “Oh no what have you guys done” Kayla asked “We have hired a room at poison ivy’s” I exclaimed in a smug tone, “Everyone but you knew” Charlie stated still laughing uncontrollably “Guys! Like I almost died last year” Kayla protested. “Yeah, because you drank an entire bottle of jaeger and a tray of Jell-O shots” I reminded her. “I will not have an outfit by then” Kayla continues “Oh, it is a themed party -movie villains” Charlie smugly replied, Kayla’s eyes widen, I walked over to my closet and pulled out a large box and handed it to Kayla “We have you sorted” I explained. She opened the box and Squealed “Poison Ivy!” With a smile on her face “She’s your favourite, and Mae thought as it is going to be at the poison Ivy that you should dress up like her” I replied Kayla looked down at the costume then at Charlie and I “Mae’s idea” she said, both Charlie and I nodded “We should maybe make sure Mae is coming” Charlie reluctantly said, looking at me with a slight smile. “Yes “Kayla and I agreed. “I have not forgiven her” Charlie said as he helped Kayla pull out her outfit from the box
