Chapter 51:

Pythia POV:

It's been a few weeks since we have been home and got settled. We fell into our new routine for now, both of the boys have been doing really good. Julie has been checking on all of the babies. The other girls went into labor literally a day apart. We haven't really seen anyone else since I have preferred to get us into a normal routine but Lillith and Phil came by and said that my dad and my aunt along with Kathrine will be coming by to pay me a visit. I'm not really worried about the grand council right now, they are the very least of my priorities. I healed up faster than I thought I would and I feel better than ever. Damien and Storm haven't come by to visit, I've been told they won't leave the house they are in. Others have come by to make sure we had what we needed and I couldn't thank them enough. "They are here." Tye said softly. We just got Apollo down for a nap and the last thing we wanted to do was wake him up. I grabbed one of the monitors and we quietly walked out of the room and cracked the door. The house was finished and it was beautiful, two stories, we didn't put too much in it because it will be Brandon and Leias house. 

Leia has been stuck to Ambrosia and I since they got back, she seems nervous like maybe she thinks people are mad at her for what happened when in truth she did nothing wrong. She was nothing more than a pawn in the sick and twisted game. "Hey Pythia, Tye how is Apollo?" Leia asked with a small smile. "He is good, just went down for a nap. Ambrosia will be down soon as well." I replied. I took in her features and I must say she looked a lot better than she did when I first met her. Her hair was more golden and she put weight back on her, her hazel eyes were much brighter and had life back in them. "I don't know who those people are at the front door though, do I need to get rid of them?" Leia asked. "No that is alright, please stay though and I will introduce you to them." I replied. I walked to the door and opened it with a smile. "Welcome, please come in." I said stepping back so that they could enter. "I filled Leia in on who they are." Tye said through our link. I nodded my head and hoped he had seen it.

I guided them towards the living room and gestured for them to sit down."So what brings you guys out this way?" I asked. "I brought some news from the elders." Kathrine replied. I tilted my head to the side not really caring what they have to say to me. "They recognize that you are half white witch and fall under their council but you are not part of a pack so you can't fall under a council for the wolves." Kathrine replied. "I am mated to a wolf so how do I not fall under that rule?" I asked. "Because he does not have a pack of his own, even though he is an alpha he is an alpha without a pack." Kathrine replied. Tye growled beside me and I rested my hand on his arm. "Is that all it would take?" Leia asked. I wasn't expecting her to say anything but either way I am fine with it. "What do you mean?" My dad asked. "Well what if he were to get a pack?" Leia asked. "Well I suppose she would fall under their council as well." My aunt replied with a small smile.

Does Tye even want a pack? We haven't had this conversation before. Ultimately it is his choice and I will support whatever he wants to do. "Pythia, I want to apologize for my behavior. I did a lot of soul searching and for a while I knew the others were too set in their ways. When the goddess showed up I knew it was time for a change." Kathrine stated. "There is no need to apologize, I am only doing what is right." I replied. I took in her features and she looked more sad than anything. "I do need to apologize, and I am truly sorry. I will do what I can to help reform our ways and to get you out of this mess." Kathrine replied and I could see the determination in her eyes. "I will start a pack then." Tye chimed in. I turned to look at him. "Are you sure? You do not have to." I replied. "I know I don't but I am going to. It will protect you better and our son. When he takes over he will be an alpha to a pack and the king of dark witches and that will continue to peace between the two races." Tye replied. 

My dad looked completely shocked. "It is something I have been thinking about lately. I already have people in mind." Tye stated. "Well then how can I help?" I asked. "You can help by relaxing. I will put things in to motion, Leia please come with me." Tye said, as he stood he kissed the top of my head. "I didn't know we were having visitors today." Ambrosia announced she walked in. "They brought news from the elders, I don't fall under the wolves council because Tye doesn't have a pack but, he is now working on getting his own.'' I told her quickly. "Good for him. What else have those grabby ass elders have to say?" Ambrosia replied as she sat down next to me. "So far that is it. They are trying to find ways around the other councils. Once they hear that you are apart of a pack it will upset them and make them try to look for another way." Olivia stated. Of course they will but that is fine. They can keep trying with their bullshit. "I must get back though. Adam and Olivia are staying to watch over things for you." Kathrine said as she stood up.

"I am on your side Pythia, I intend on proving that to you." Kathrine said before she disappeared. "Well I am happy to hear that she is on our side. Time will tell though." Ambrosia stated. "How is your son?" My dad asked, looking at Ambrosia. "Artemis is fantastic. Thank you for asking." Ambrosia replied easily. "Have you found anything out about my missing witch?" I asked. "We have found her, we have people coming to examine her to see if there was any foul play." Phil replied. "If it comes back that they are really behind it I will hold a public execution. Others need to know what will happen should they hurt one of their own." I replied bitterly. Dark witches are known for cruel behavior but this is not our way anymore. I will not allow such things to happen. "I have spoken with the grand elders, they will not step in to save them. This is one hundred percent your choice." My dad replied. "As it should be her choice. I understand the need of the grand elders but she shouldn't even need their permission." Ambrosia stated. 

I think she still made my dad and aunt nervous. They fidget a lot when she speaks the way she does but in truth she is right. It is my choice to make since I am the queen. "We should know something later today, when we find out I will let you know and we can go from there alright?" Phil said standing up. "I look forward to hearing what you guys find." I replied. A small cry sounded through the monitors and I knew Apollo was waking up. "We will show ourselves out." Olivia said with a smile. I didn't watch them exit, I stood on my feet and made my way upstairs to my son who was now awake and needed me....

Tye POV:

The grand elders are being so damn unreasonable but that is fine. I have had the thought of starting my own pack but I didn't know where to start. I had Brandon in my mind as Beta because the kid is strong as hell and would do a fantastic job. With Leia as his mate they will be a power couple for Betas. She is a warrior all on her own. She has beta blood that runs through her and I will not waste that away for her. Leia and Brandon will take that position as equals. As I walked towards Stephens office I knew the others were waiting. I could hear Leias heart racing. "Hey, don't worry about anything okay?" I said looking at her. "I'm just nervous. I did bad things Tye. I hurt people." Leia whispered. "We all know it wasn't truly you. You would never have done anything like that. You will see that no one holds anything against you." I replied back patting her shoulder. 

When we walked through the door all eyes fell on us. Jackson and Stephen had smiles on their faces. Brandon shot to his feet and practically ran to her. "Welcome Leia. It is good to see you." Stephen said with a smile. "It's good to see you too." Leia replied softly. "So what is going on ?" Jackson asked. "Well we got news from the elders. They  acknowledge Pythia as half white witch and will allow her to fall under their council but she won't fall under the wolves.'' I said quickly. "But she is your mate. What is the issue?" Stephen asked. "They are just being assholes but for her to fall under the council for the wolves I have to have my own pack.'" I was determined. No one batted an eye, "Well let's get started on that then. Who do you want as your Beta?" Stephen asked. "I want Brandon and Leia. They will take the roll as beta as equals." I replied. "Two betas?" Collin asked. 

I turned to look at him, "Yes, two betas. Leia is a warrior, she has beta blood that runs in her. We all know Brandon won't let me down. He is strong and has aided us all when we needed it most." I replied. "Fair enough, we will gather people that will want to join. You will need to come up with a pack name and we as well as the ladies will bless it." Stephen replied. "I'm proud of you little brother. This will be good for you." Jackson said ruffling my hair. "I think it will be. I want to hold auditions for five best warriors." I stated. "We will get the word out and have it this weekend. Let us know if you need help with anything else." Devin replied. "Thanks guys. I need to get busy with a pack name but I do need to barrow Brandon." I said. "Go ahead, let us know what you come up with." Stephen replied. As we walked out of the house the two didn't say anything. This was a pretty big bomb I just dropped on everyone. 

"I want to try out to lead the warriors." Leia announced. This didn't shock me at all. Her and Alley made sure they were the strongest of the women. "Are you sure?" Brandon asked. "Yes I am sure, if we are both to be betas we both need to train, I would like to oversee the warriors though if that is alright." Leia said, looking at me. "Actually, I think that is a great idea." I replied with a smile. "We will go over everything else throughout the week but I want you two to start training now. Don't go easy on each other because you are mates. If you want to lead the warriors you will need to be the best." I replied. "I won't let you down, alpha." Leia said as she bowed her head in respect. I walked back towards the house leaving them to begin their training, there was one person that I knew would help me with a name and it was my green eyed beauty.......
