Chapter 497: Find A Witch

Griffin swallowed hard. "She’s right. I have something desperate to ask of you and you might not approve of it."

Mother Thessara didn’t blink. "What is it?"

For a moment, Griffin’s lips parted, but no words came out. He sucked in his bottom lip, hesitated, then finally said it.

"I need a witch."

The shift in Thessara’s expression was instant. Whatever peace had rested on her face vanished.

And for good reason.

Yes, the wolves believed Selene created them just as she created most of the supernaturals walking the realm. But witches? That was where things got messy. Most wolves didn’t believe witches came from Selene. Witches, with their grimoires and circles and ancient chants, were often lumped in with demons.

Their history didn’t help either. Witches had spilled a lot of blood. They’d cursed packs, bent laws of life and death, and nearly brought down kingdoms. Even though some wolves acknowledged rare seers and healers in their own ranks, they refused to admit witches might share the same source of power. A werewolf’s magic was their wolf. Period.

Sure, the same wolves secretly used witches when it benefited them like the Alpha King, who had a custom-made necklace from a witch to shield his mind from mental attacks. But publicly Witches were still outcasts.
