chapter 16- coven meeting
the witch and her beta mate
Sienna p.o.v.
I sighed once sarah left and looked around what once was mine and my moms house. I sighed to myself and tears came to my eyes.
It doesn't even feel like home. I guess it never really has. When I think about it this was never my home it was just where I lived with my mom. I only realised that when I went to Sarah's pack. The pack feels more like home.
I blinked the tears away and sighed. Just then a knock appeared on my door. I walked to the door and put on an cold face.
Once I opened the door I realised it was one of the witches who was my moms assistant.
"Hello our new head coven." She said bowing.
I dont even know her name.
"What is your name?" I asked.
"Rachel." She said softly.
"I'm sorry to disturb you and we know that you have only just returned but everyone is going mad wondering what is going on. The only thing we know is that our old head coven has been banned from our head coven and there are rumours about a death. We also heard you are our new head coven." Rachel started rambling on almost making me laugh.
"I know. I would like you to set a coven meeting with everyone to attend including the children please. I will explain everything. No children under the age of 10." I said firmly.
"Yes head coven." Rachel said.
"You can call me sienna." I said more softly.
She looked suprised but smiled.
With that she went ahead to let everyone know and I prepared myself for the meeting.
I'm not fully sure what to do or say. What I do know however is that I am not fit to be head coven. I have never even wanted it In the first place. I knew mom would kill me however if I turned the position down.
My mind keeps wandering back to jayden. Is he okay? Is he thinking about me? Does he know I have left? Does he even care?
I groaned and got changed before heading out and straight for the meeting.
As I stepped inside the room I could instantly see so many people. My heart started pounding out my chest but I stopped in my tracks and took a deep breathe.
I walked on stage and instantly everyone went silent waiting for me to speak. They all bowed there heads down at me making me feel a little uncomfortable to be honest. Most of them are older then me.
"Hello my coven. I know that there are rumours going around about a lot of things. I am here to clear up all the rumours. As most of, if not all of you have heard that my mother,your head coven has been banished from being your head coven and is actually going to be punished by death for her crimes." I spoke loudly and clear. Everyone gasped at hearing what I said
"What did she do that is so bad?" One off the witches asked shocked.
And that's when I told them all from top to bottom of what happened.
"I can not believe she did that. I'm ashamed to even call her our head coven. Or that she was our head coven." I heard someone say.
"I'm disgusted "I heard someone else.
"What happens now?" I heard someone shout.
I sighed because this was the bit I was dreading even more.
"I will be your head coven for now." I spoke.
"For now?" I heard someone ask. I looked over and noticed it was one of my friends I had been friends with here for a while. She looked angry that I said for now but it does not suprise me. I know she was only friends with me because of my position in our coven.
"I will be your head coven until my mother is punished for her crimes. I will be having a meeting with the council soon for what will be happening after that. " I spoke clearly.
I will not be telling them I do not want to be head coven. I'm not sure how all of them will take it. But for now I will wait and have a meeting with the head council.
"When will she be punished." My "friend" asked me.
"In just 2 days." I spoke.
Before anyone else could say anything I spoke.
"Tonight I would like you all to rest and take this information in. Everyone will continue with there roles in this coven and once I find more information on what will be happening I will set another meeting for us all to talk. Good night everyone." I said loudly making sure everyone can hear me.
I walked of stage and started to head straight back to my house. I could feel rachel walking behind me.
"Can I help you rachel." I asked.
She cleared her throat before speaking.
"I- I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for what has happened. You did a really good speech there." Rachel stuttered out.
"Thank you." I said.
"Your welcome." She said before walking away.
I frowned not really understanding rachel. Something was strange. Not in a way where I see her as a threat but more like she is afraid of me and feels she has to please me and do everything perfect.
Saying that she was my mothers assistant. She most likely got treat so badly of my mom that she expects the same off me. I need to speak to her tomorrow morning, I dont want her to think I am the exact same as my mom because I am not. I am far from the same as my mom.
I got back into the house and got ready for bed. Finally I climbed into bed and closed my eyes wishing for darkness to hurry and take over, ready for a stressful day tomorrow.
I will have to get hold of our council tomorrow so that we can start putting something into place. I care about a lot of people in this coven but I just know being head coven is not for me. It never has been.
