“Sure.” The word was pushed out by my wolf, and I mentally glared at him.
“You’ll thank me later,”my wolf said with pride.
"I’ll need to start training her magic-wise,” Viktor revealed. “She’ll be okay for a few days of recovery, max a few weeks, but I’ll need to teach her how to control her newly awakened magic and tame her aura. There are also ceremonies that need to be done when one ascends onto the chair. I don’t know the details regarding that, but we’ll need to work on it.”
“Makes sense,” Neo approved. “We obviously have to get with opening Forbidden Enterprise, appease the media, secure some deals, and make sure we remind our partnerships that we’ve gained another level of assets that can be used against them. If the news about Willow is spreading through the grapevine, we should leave people quivering in worry about fucking up.”
“Good idea,” I agreed then noticed Milo’s worried expression. “Milo?”
“I know we’re busy,” he began. “But I feel it won’t be long before I have to return my daughter to the fae lands. With the circumstances and the potential of our enemies being threatened by the connections you now have in your domain with my presence, I’ll happily stay a little longer till things calm down, but I’ll have to get someone to pick her up and guide them to the proper path.”
“Would you have enough power?” Neo stressed.
“I’ll find a pool of fae energy by then,” Milo assured him. “Thanks for your concern.”
Neo bobbed his head and added, “We can accompany you when the time happens. Our resources are yours to use.”
“I appreciate it,” Milo replied with a small smile. “Likewise.”
“Then after that, we’ll figure out what to do with the Coven?”
“I’m sure once we explain things to Dimitris, he’ll figure out a plan,” Neo summed up.
“True,” I replied and sighed. “Then I guess all we can do now is wait.”
“Odd, but that’s exactly what we should do,” Viktor stressed. "What about Aurelia?”
“Should we keep tabs on her?” Milo brought up which got everyone’s attention, including the bickering brothers. “I only suggest it because she could be a risk to Willow.”
“Aurelia would never betray Willow,” Onyx declared, standing up for the witch hybrid. “She’s loyal.”
“I’d agree with you,” Neo began. “But loyalty only bends to a certain extent when there’s a risk of a supernatural war upon the horizon.”
“Aurelia wouldn’t-” Onyx tried to repeat but Loki lifted his hand to silence him.
“You think the Coven will force her to switch sides?”
“Maybe,” Neo casually said which told me he knew far more than he was implying. “What better way to redemption than turning against your best friend and comrades to prove to the Coven your worth.”
“She’d never do that!” Onyx pressed.
“Onyx,” Viktor actually spoke up. “I agree with you, and I’m sure if Willow were awake, she would too, but we need to be smart about this.”
Viktor’s face projected his obvious concern about the conflicting topic.
“At the end of the day, regardless of Willow’s and Aurelia’s friendship, what’s brewing is beyond that. This is a battle between hierarchies and where we stand on the ladder. Right now, we’re a threat to the Coven, and we can’t ignore that they’ve proven to be a threat to Willow in the past,” he explained and looked into Onyx’s eyes. “You can’t deny the fact that between the two of them, you’d stand at Willow’s side.”
Onyx bit his lip, but the answer was obvious. He was loyal to Willow no matter what, and even Aurelia surely knew that.
Which may not be good in as tense a situation as what we were potentially dealing with.
“Aurelia may need the added help against the Coven if they decide to use her for whatever scheme they’re participating in. Even if it’s half of their organization meddling in the dark side, it still brings Aurelia into their bullshit. By keeping tabs on her, we’ll ensure she doesn’t fall into a trap the Coven may set for her as payback for her losing the position.”
That made more sense and frankly, none of us had even thought about that potential problem.
The Coven pushing Aurelia down to use her as a cover-up for their obvious failures.
“Fine,” Onyx muttered. “As long as Willow knows.”
“Good.” Neo looked around. “I guess we should get planning for a potential war.”
As horrid as it sounds, I felt a flicker of excitement at the idea of making a move that would hurt the enemy.
