Chapter 9:

Pythia POV:
It's been almost a month since everything happened. I have split our group so we can help grow the surrounding trees how they once were. We all needed to stay shielded from the humans, not that I think they would do anything but still. We liked our privacy. I started making pathways for all of us to take so that the kids could walk in the woods without being lost if they ever wanted to go for a walk or whatever it is they do. I guess I will be finding out in eight short months when our little bundle of joy decides to enter the world. That was a shock of a lifetime finding out not only was I pregnant but so were the others. I left Tye with the other alphas so they can have their little meeting while I tended to the elders, ever since word broke out that I was mated to a wolf and was now carrying a child of that wolf the elders have had a huge stick up their asses about it. I wore his mark with pride because for the first time I wasn't looked at like I was some object that could be owned. I could see the love in his eyes and he constantly told me what I meant to him. A smile crept to my lips just thinking about it all. "What are you thinking?" Ambrosia said as she walked towards me. "Just about these damn elders. I swear they will never be happy with anything that I do." I replied, which honestly it was the truth. "Would you like for me to come with you? I don't have anything else to do since Jackson is with the others." Ambrosia said.
It was odd that after all of this she was one of the closest people to me other than Alley and the other girls. Ambrosia was always by my side. "It might get a little heated in there, but I would love to have some company.'' I replied, smiling at her. "If it gets heated then so be it, you won't have to face them alone." Ambrosia said, taking my hand. I don't know what I did to deserve such good people in my life but I am thankful for it. "You're the best, you know that? I honestly am kind of glad that I am not going in alone though." I said taking a deep breath, we walked in and down the long hallway. "You will never be alone again sister, that I can promise you." Ambrosia said as she straightened her back and squared her shoulders. As soon as I opened the door three pairs of eyes locked on Ambrosia. I'm starting to miss the old elders we had before they went on their little suicide mission and got themselves killed to turn a wolf in to a seer. "What is that thing doing here?" Damien asked, narrowing his eyes. Ambrosia chuckled next to me. "It must be hard being a little man among strong women, and no I'm not talking about you two bitches either. Mind your tone or lose your tongue." Ambrosia said cheerfully. I covered my laughter with a cough and cleared my throat. "How dare you speak to us that way! Do you know who we are?" Jessica snapped. "Oh shut up, y'all are the second hand offs of elders, what did you call me here for?" I asked, rolling my eyes.
Storm cleared her throat, "It is bad enough you ran off and mated with a mutt but now you are pregnant?! Do you not see the issue with this?" I narrowed my eyes. Did she just call Tye and Rex a mutt? "You will not speak of either of them in that manner, the moon goddess pairs us all with someone and it is not my problem you old asses were not blessed to have a mate. Maybe you should rethink how you treat others." I replied, with each word I spoke the more upset I got. "Speaking ill of our mates will not get you anywhere, she may not kill you but I will with no hesitation." Ambrosia spoke with venom in her voice. If I didn't know her I would be very afraid of her. "You are supposed to lead the dark witches and now you are keeping the peace? For what? Your precious mate?" Jessica spat clearly ignoring Ambrosias warning. "I would listen to her warning. I am the queen and yes I am keeping the peace because I think we all deserve that. Or are each of you saying we don't deserve peace?" I replied looking at each of them. "We do want peace but we believe it should stay within our coven." Damien said. "That will never happen. We will keep the peace among us all and if anyone goes against it they will die. This is not a conversation I am willing to negotiate on." I replied, crossing my arms across my chest.
Jessica let out a gross laugh, "You are choosing others over your own?" I wonder how much trouble I would get in if I killed her. "I am choosing everyone, if you don't like it then I suggest you step down and let another take your place." I replied. I can not believe they are being so stubborn about change. This is a good thing for our coven, we won't have to hide anymore. We won't be hated anymore, people will see a united front among us all. Why do they refuse to see that? "How are we supposed to mingle with dogs? How are we supposed to mingle with them?" Jessica shouted pointing at Ambrosia. "My people are fully willing to be peaceful, unlike you three walking death sticks who are so unwilling to change, and why is that?" Ambrosia asked. I really need to learn her snappy comebacks. "We shouldn't have to change to make others happy! We have always been the dominant race!" Jessica shouted. "I am doing this to make our coven happy! We were dominant long ago before all you elders fucked everything up! We have been hunted and killed because of the choices you elders made. I am taking us back to where we were. Carry ourselves with pride and aid when we are needed." I roared. She is really starting to piss me off.
