Love Conquers All

chapter Twenty two

George's POV

I gulp and back up another step,Philip places his hand on the bottom of my back reassuringly.  He gives a soft smile and kisses my cheek.

"It's okay, I'm right here ."He says softly. I take a deep breath, smile and nod.

"I know mini freckles." I return the kiss happily and my arm wraps around his waist protectively.  If they angel chose to attack I'm not sure how far she'd make it with Thomas snarling and pacing behind me like a caged dog. Or how'd Alex would react, he's the chosen one.

"I thought I was curly. "He cocks an eyebrow .

"You're everything. "I smile give a soft squeeze. He purrs and sinks into my side.  My smile melts as I look back at the angel , she's no more then a few feet infront of me. Her grip is on Charles and John like a scolding mother's, tight but not bruising.

"I belive these are yours Alex." Her eyes settle on Alex,they sheen at him and he goes still as a rock.

"Maria." He breaths out. Thomas' shoulders tense up and the tempature spikes. Alex takes his hand and gives a soothing hush." I thought that witch damned you?"

"I crawled my way to the top." She smirks and drops her two old friends.  They slap her hand away with curses and sneers. As soon as she steps back they're in eachothers arms happily, their eyes close and they slowly sink to the ground. "Now I'm here."

"Fantastic. We need your help despertly. " Alex sighs and takes a step forward, Thomas snarls and hugs him tighter .

"Does he want my help?" She puts a hand on her hip and cocks an eyebrow. Thomas' eyes narrow and teeth grind.

"He's a little.... on edge today." Alex says softly and presses a kiss to Thomas'  ring, a proposal ring.

"High Fae." She scoffs and rolls her eyes." Always so protective when it comes to their mates."

"Mmhmm..." Alex looks a little less unsure now, his feet shift and eyes scan around the street. The find John and Charles, he grins. "Are you two okay?"

"Im going to be sick." Philip gags and Charles curls around John tighter.

"Imagen how we feel about you two." Thomas manages a dry smile, but his eyes don't leave Maria.

"Is everyone okay?" I roll my eyes and shake my head.

"Define okay." Philip deadpans and cocks an eyebrow at me.

"Breathing. "I smirk. He takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly.

"Yep, perfectly normal." He nods firmly.

"Normal?" I raise my eyebrows." You?" He smiles and nudges me in the rubs, his hand lands on the large scar on my stomach.  He knows that scar,he's studied it amd traced it hundreds of times.

"We're not a normal bunch. " Alex chuckles and helps Charles and John up.

"No. Defiantly not. "Thomas agrees. I frown and cock my head.

"I hate  to burst everyones bubbles, but we have a bigger issuem" Alex sighs and nods.

"Aaron." He mutters. The mood drops and everyone glances around nervously.

Man, aren't we just a jolly bunch of magical beings?

"We need a council meeting. " Thomas says gravely, John and Maria shift uneasily.

"Dont you remember how well the last one went?" John sighs.  Thomas sets his jaw.

"If I recall correctly , George almost destroyed the castle." Maria looks at Thomas and cocks an eyebrow.

"We were suggesting to merge his and Aaron's courts.  He  had a fit." Thomas sighs.  "And I almost let... it out."

Philip,Alex, and I exchange glances and Thomas makes a motion to ask later.

"God, when was that?" John gives a grave smile.

"Before the first war." It goes oddly silent. Maria looks up and sets her jaw." But we need to make a uniformed decision."

"Looks like we have some work to do then." I give a grave smile.

"I might be off some assistance. " Laf smiles and places a hand on Thomas' shoulder.
