Chapter 16

Raphael and Daniel left soon after Sophia's little announcement. The mothers rounded up the kids and headed home. Will and I spent a quiet evening and a restless night's sleep. With the shadow of Charles punishment coming.

We arrived early for the gathering. The punishment is set to take place at noon. Word is that Andre is already here with his escort of guards. No one under the age of sixteen is present in the gathering hall. Dad decided that they didn't need to see what's going to happen.

All the alpha's are seated up on the stage with there seconds standing behind them. Mom, dad, and Shawn are on stage with the alpha's. Will and I get front row seat's. For the punishment as the injured parties. Goddess please help me.

Andre stalk's on to the stage. His brown hair white at his temples. Instead of making him look old. It make's him look regal and a little mysterious. Off setting his slim build. His brown eyes are snapping with malice. He scan's the crowd and turn's to dad snarling.

“Not everyone is here Alpha River.” I can see my brother's tense ready to charge.

“Everyone sixteen or older is here.” Dad tells him calmly.

“Everyone must see this.” Andre hiss at dad.

The mood in the room is growing ugly fast. I look for Raphael. Hoping he will come forward to calm his coven master. Fear grips me as I can't find Raphael among the vampire escort. He didn't bring the one man who can keep him calm. I look out at the pack and into a sea of yellow gold eye's. Dear goddess help us. Amen. Not helping.

Will stands slowly. He turn's to my dad. Dad nods his head. He turn's to Alex and he nods as well. He is a quick thinker. Yes he is. Making it clear he's is asking not only dad but Alex to. For permission to speak.

“Coven Master my name is William Hawkins.” Will clasp's his hand's in front of him.

“I know who you are Mutt.” He say's mutt like it's a curse.

A cold fear grips me as growls erupt from the crowd. I can also hear wood creak. From where the alpha's sit as they grip the arm's of their chair's. Will just smile's at Andre. As if to say is that the best you got.

“Master Andre I was expecting better manner's from you. Seeing as you are the coven master and all. I was lead to believe. That a vampire of your age and station where cultured and refined.”

He say's this with the air of a monk lecturing a single novice. In a meeting hall filled with hundred's. You could hear a pin drop. I watched as Andre master's himself and pushes back his anger.

“You are correct Mr. Hawkins. I'm in a very unpleasant position right now. My anger has gotten the better of me. My apologies Mr. Hawkins Alpha River.” He nods to both dad and Will.

“You've had to choose between the lesser of two evil's Master Andre. Brianna and I requested that no one under sixteen be present. Enough of us will have nightmare's about what is about to take place here today.”

As he speaks he reaches a hand back for me to hold. I can feel him tremble through his hand. How many do you think knows he this close to the edge. Very few I would guess. The doc, the oldest alpha's, and our alpha and lupa through the link. Ya they do have an edge on everyone else.
