Chapter 12 - Meredith

I’m on the way back, Hakeem links to me and Gael.

How are they? I ask.

They were…busy when I left. Hakeem responds.

Busy? Or getting busy? Gael chuckles.

I smack him lightly on the arm and roll my eyes.

Yes to both. Hakeem says, a smile in his voice. I’ll see you both in about 10 minutes.

Hakeem stops talking, though the link doesn’t cut out. We never turn it off, preferring to share everything.

“So, when are you going to tell Zak and Charlie about what Mother Selene said?” Gael asks me. We’re sitting together at the kitchen table, having just finished ladling out lunch for all of us. Chili from the crock pot. One of my favorite meals for a cold day and, since this is the beginning of December, it’s starting to get that way.

“I was going to call an Alpha Council when Devin and Arya got back. I think that we all need to hear this information, plus everything that Zak and Charlie have learned from Brandon,” I say. I sigh before dumping a handful of cheese into my bowl.
