When Odessa and I walked into the throne room with Layla leading the way, we were met with three witches, including high priestess Althea, sitting on a rectangular table facing my throne.
I glanced at Odessa, tightening my grip on her hand ever so slightly in a way that would be reassuring before we continued walking.
"Alpha King Kaelos." The witch sitting at the center of the others was the first to speak.
Althea and the other witch remained silent.
This witch at the center was Coven Head Arachne, one of the oldest and possibly the most powerful witches on the continent currently.
She had long grey hair and wore a black robe with intricate designs of blooming white flowers printed on it, as well as the golden star of the coven behind her. Her piercing blue eyes showed the centuries of wisdom she had and the staff she held with her right hand showed her power and prestige among witches.
