“Athena is agreeable-”
“Then why ask my permission? You’re an Elder and she’s … somewhere even higher so that she doesn’t even have a Council! You … two can do what you want.” I snapped.
Alexis stared at me. “I never mentioned love.”
I shrugged. “So? You don’t love her but you’re going to bond-?!”
“Because she is unpredictable and too powerful to allow to bond with someone equally as powerful as I. What would happen if she formed a bond with … Malarias or Feris or any of the others? It is only a matter of time before they seek her out--when they discover that she is like you, when she intrigues them the way you intrigued me.”
“Alexis between you, me and Athena we are already more powerful than they know what to do with!”
“Listen! Your Wolf had a good plan. But do you really think that will be the end of it? Don’t you see that once the threat of the Rogue Wolves have been removed that someone will seek to get rid of you, your Council, your family?! Don’t you know who you are up against? This is not a gang war, Kim! You have made enemies on the highest of Councils!
My simple jealousy began to fade and I looked at Monica, not liking her nearly as much as I had before I stepped foot into her home.
Even though I knew what had to be done, the words felt like broken glass on my tongue.
“Monica, I give my permission for you to bond with Alexis.”
She looked from me to Alexis seeming unsure of what we had communicated with each other and if she could trust my words. I watched her and decided that I didn’t like her at all. I decided that Paul was right when he said keep your friends close but your enemies closer.
