Chapter 91

I walked into the hall and looked around the room. The silence was deafening. Heads snapped in my direction as everyone's eyes were glued to me. As I passed by our warriors, they bowed their heads to me, only standing after I passed by. I approached Everest and moved into his arms as they wrapped them around my waist. His lips pressed against mine softly as I smiled into his kiss. I pulled away and turned around and faced our crowd of head warriors.

"Good morning everyone. Thank you for gathering here on such short notice. We have some news on the recent activity and we are coming up with a plan on how we are handling the situation. Every station will need to have double the number of warriors. One group at each station will need to stand guard at their posts while the remainder do a perimeter run in their designated areas. Swap every few hours until the shift is over. Meanwhile, we are coming up with a plan to assist the Southern Kingdom. We have good reason to believe that our neighbors will be under attack next. They were here for us, so we shall be there for them." I looked around the room after I spoke to them. Mumbles and whispers could be heard as the warriors exchanged thoughts.

Everest's arm brushed against mine as he stepped forward to speak, "Everyone will be expected to pick up their new posting assignments and then hand them out to your current teams you will be stationed with. I will have a special team to lead our people out to our bunk houses outside of the Kingdom." People erupted in discussion.

"Wait, we are moving out of the Kingdom?" One asked us.

My eyes glanced at Everest as another shouted "This place will protect us." My teeth clenched, my blood began to boil.

I could see him getting angry and when he went to talk, another asked "This for the south? Maybe we should hold the witches here accountable!" I let out a small growl of frustration at the outbursts.

Everest let out a thundering growl that sent shivers down my spine. His growl masked my very own and I watched as everyone immediately kneeled before us and had their necks bare to us. Order was restored promptly throughout the group as Everest cleared his throat.

"There will be absolutely no more outbursts of that nature. Anyone who threatens the thirty witches that are now living among us will be outcast and no longer a part of this Kingdom. With that you will only have twenty-four hours to leave these lands. If you choose not to, you will cease to exist. Does everyone understand?" Everest's voice boomed across the room.

In unison, everyone responded, " Yes, my King." Just like that, we were back on track.

"There will be a group of warriors who will be assigned to the movement detail along with four witches. These witches will place a cloaking and protection spell over the group to keep everyone hidden. Two hours, gather what you need. We will be moving our people in two days. Disperse." Everest let out a sigh as he turned to look at me.

I offered him a subtle smile as he appeared to be pleased with himself. "Come, my love, let us discuss the plan together." His arm extended out towards me.

I glanced down at his hand and took it happily with my own. Our fingers laced together as he led me to his office. We walked in and we sat down at his desk. "So, we need to go south. I think Sebastian is after Miranda."

"Yes, we will help them as they have aided us in the past. We need to make a list also of the warriors who will be staying behind with our people. Jameson needs to be with us. The boys.."

I cut him off. "They stay," I said firmly.
