White Wolf Hybrid

Blake’s POV~

Alexis and I have been working in the office, for the last couple hours. Boring things that need doing. She’s staying on top of provisions and supplies. The bills are being paid.. We have decided to have a Christmas Ball. Our people are getting restless…and everyone needs focus. Alexis has ordered Christmas trees for every pack. Huge ones. We had made sure every pack had an enormous communal tent so tbey still had together time.. and a place for pack meetings, in private. The amenities may not be five-star but everyone assures me they are comfortable.

Damon comes in.. sulking.. Alexis smiles up at him “Why so glum, chum?” He sighs.. “Just wanting to meet my mate! Dude! This is ridiculous. Cody found his! I guess the holidays are making me feel lonely” … She says “I get it! I do! The Christmas Ball is on the full moon… next Saturday. You will find her there. It’s a feeling “ And he jumped up and grabbed her.. swinging her in a circle.

Loren and Charles come in… handing me a phone. Okay? Loren tells them it must have occurred to Juliet she can call them…and she’s opted to try and reach Charles. We wanted to be with you when he picks up. I said “Let’s take this to the conference room.. I’m curious to see Jeremiah’s reaction” and Alexis chimes in “ I have to be able to have visual on the area, if I want to strike lightning. Wish all my magic worked like that! I would turn him into a pig, too!” And we all laugh.

Damon already has the screen up and making sure the cameras we are going to need are running. As he sits he turns to Alexis “I’ve been meaning to ask you about the lightning thing..the pig thing… hell, even the freeze thing” She busted out laughing “So, you’ve been meaning to ask me about….magic?” And then everyone laughs as he nods. “ Magic is only temporary. Like when I freeze someone.. it’s only ten minutes until it wears off…if a body remains motionless for even a 24 hour period, things can go wrong. If a person had to stay in a permanently altered state of existence, like a bunny.. or a pig their own body would begin to die. That is not permitted. A witch should never try and alter a soul. The lightning? That’s mostly smoke and mirrors. It makes a lot of noise.. can cause static in the air.. relatively harmless, but annoying as fuck! A witch can never use her magic to kill.. or deliberately cause harm. Each time she does, a black mark appears on her soul. It’s why there are hardly any dark witches. Virginia is on her way to being a dark witch..but she isn’t powerful enough. I guess in summation, magic is fleeting..and temporary… but fun!”

Charles phone rings again…and we laugh as he looks at Loren with such a “do I have to?” look, we couldn’t help it! He pushes speaker “Juliet! What a plea…no.. scratch that, I can’t even fake it! What the fuck do you want?” We hear sputters and cursing, she comes back with “Do Not speak to me like that! I am the dowager and I can have you beheaded!” And Charles guffawed “ You are not the rightful queen… Loren’s true mate is.. and pleaseee tell me you Did Not allude to the queen of hearts in Alice! Now that’s a rabbit hole you don’t want to go down! Off with his head! Yeah..that’s not going to happen. Again, what the fuck do you want!?” She spits “You have always been disrespectful! I need to speak to Loren! Our son is lost without his guidance.. and there are some Alphas that need reprimanded. They’ve deserted their packs and are derelict in their duty. They need to be stripped of their titles!” Charles broke out laughing and told her “You really are stupid! You practically kill the King. Juliet! You were poisoning your husband of 22 years! And you know Loren doesn’t consider Jeremiah his son. So before you go threatening the lives of his parents..and siblings, remember.. he doesn’t care….they’re actually poor bargaining chips! But, here’s a question, why are you calling me? You don’t like me. I have never pretended to care about you… call Loren. He had to pretend to at least like you.. hell! Everyone knows he fucked you.. probably forced it.. at least… once, right!?” She screams “BECAUSE HE BLOCKED ME..YOU FUCK!” and hung up the phone. Loren fell out of his chair laughing when Charles punched him. Even I had a hard time.. my sides were hurting. The King had set up his best friend and it was epic!

The door swings open and Cynthia storms in “Blake! We need to talk!” and I hear Alexis mumble “put lipstick on it..still a pig!” The room erupts in laughter.. especially when Damon put the photo Alexis had taken of her, on the screen. I looked at her and demanded she sat down “You are right, Cynthia! It’s past time to talk! I am not sure how you reached a point that you think it is perfectly all right to barge into any room, with a closed door.. that I am in. I am in a meeting, you useless twit! I am the Alpha! You will never address me again…as anything other than my title! I have allowed your disrespect to go on too long. If you ever… Ever… enter a room like that again.. you will be lashed.. five lashes with a silver tipped whip! You are hereby banished from the pack house, unless accompanied by your parents. This is your last warning!”

And what’s this fool do? She lunges at Alexa..who grabs her by the hair and drags her outside. “You want to jump me? You want a fight? You think you deserve my mate.. when you shattered yours? Well, bitch! You bought yourself that fight.. best hope your mouth ain’t writing checks your ass can’t cash!” And she dropped into fight stance… holding her hand up, curling her fingers in a ‘come on’ fashion. And Cynthia ran. She hauled ass towards her parents house. Alexis looks at me “What the fuck just happened?” And we all laughed!

Damon linked we needed to see Jeremiah, now! And we all run back to conference. Getting seated, we hear him screaming “You have to get him back here, Mother! I know the Alphas are uniting against me! Only Father can get them back under control.. and with him being in the wind, if he finds out what we did..and where the money is going.. he is going to kill us both! Why didn’t the poison work on him? It worked on Her!” Juliet tried calming him down.. telling him she will contact Prudence and Gloria..

Alexis looks at me… She says “I am going to that coven! Helena is too far in her pregnancy. Daddy… you and Blake get ready! Something is not sitting right!”
