Athens stepped closer to us. He eyed Adele as she placed her stuff down. Then sat down on the ground and began stretching. "You have managed to find another like you and your sister. She has fae blood but on the scale of elf." He looked down to her and back to us. "She will be an elite warrior. Spy class even." He chuckled. "I am going to head down and see where she is at in her training. Fun, Fun, fun!" Athens clapped his hands and giggled a happy dance. Then walked down the hill.
"Elite spy warrior?" Mortou looked at me with what I guessed was the same amount of uh? As I did.
"Perhaps they will be needed?" I shrugged.
My sister Jewel and Tau had noticed her and were heading up to us. "Who is that?" Jewel asked looking back down to Adele with Athens and Amber.
"Adele Calvo," I answer following her gaze.
"She was being bullied in more than just one spot. So Hawk went ahead and took her under the wing. " Mortou added as he stepped up next to us. "Seems Athens says she will be excellent Elite Spy material." Which made my sister look up at him curiously.
"Elite Spy?" She asked with a glance back to Mortou. "Why would we need one?"
"Who knows but we will have one." I shrugged. I saw Jakarta come in and make a beeline for me. "Angel," I hummed when she slammed into my chest and I twirled her around.
Jakarta kissed me all over my face and giggled. "You ready to practice?" I looked at Jakarta. The grin she had lit up her face. I loved that twinkle she got her brown eyes.
"Always" I grinned picking her up and twirling her around. We all walked back down to the bottom of the small hill. There we squared off and got ready to battle.
We flirted and fought for the next hour. I would glance up to see Athens and Adele doing different things. My guess is he was still assessing her. I was curious to see if he was right in his thought that she would be an elite spy.
Why do we need elite spies? I asked Tys my wolf.
You are gonna be leading a lot of things and knowing where things are coming for Jewel will be helpful in the future. Tys responded. He was not as talkative about things had he had been. Hell, we had normally just had visions.
"Jewel and I are going to the stables." Jakarta kissed my cheek. "I shall see you before dinner in our rooms." Jakarta kissed my other cheek just before she brushed her lips across mine and winked. There was A huge smile on her lips as she and my sister linked arms going back to the castle. Tau nodded to me, I knew that Jakarta would be safe with them.
"Young Beefy Boi!" I heard Athens holler. Lord knew he was like an uncle to me but this was just so different from anything I was used to.
"Yes Athens," I sighed turning to look at him. Mortou I notice came up too. He glanced my way and softly added, "he has no self-preservation." Mortou winked before turning his attention to Athens as well.
I chuckled a little, we all knew it to be true. But when there was violence to unleash Athens and my uncle Hawk were there in heartbeat to do what bloody deeds were needed to be done. "You rang?" I used my sauce as Athens put it. It was still awkward in my delivery but the effort Athens appreciated.
"Miss Adele here is very good at the use of knives and her fighting skill is not bad given her lack of instruction based on what she told me." Athens turned to look at Adele and grin exposing his fangs to her.
"You're, You're the eldest vampire Athens aren't you?" Her voice was a mix of awe and shock.
"You're an adorable little pup." Athens giggled. Another bow with flare and he spun her again. "I am." They waltzed Around a minute just before he spun her out and back to their first position. "The one the only Athens." He did a weird little boogie and burst out laughing too.
I shook my head. "So what is the plan?" I had a smirk but also wanted to finish up and get to my desk. I needed to catch up on filing and paperwork I was just stacking and not looking at things. I knew it had been a week. I probably should.
"Such a prude." Athens shook his head. "We need to get you to let that sexy hair down." Athens sighed then started. "I was right in thinking that Adele has Elf, as well as pack wolf and southern wolf. She can do illusions but not very well at the moment. We will work on that and her hand-to-hand skills to start. Then she will go to weapons training and We can work on languages. I want her to learn at least five. She knows two currently." Athens spoke of Adele like she was his fledgling vampire.
"What schedule would you like for her?" I asked him.
"I will write it out and send copies." Athens shook his head. "We need to get you out and shed some of this stress." Athens looked at Mortou and then back to me.
"I have a desk full of paperwork that I need to get to." I groaned a little. It was not my thing at all to be in an office.
"Sounds like you need a secretary to help." Athens wiggled his hips and grinned again. I think I know someone who could be helpful and needs a job." There was a glimmer of something in his eyes.
"Who?" I countered.
"Rachel. She isn't a warrior class wolf but her skills in reading and writing are on par with an expert." Athens seemed distant about something.
"I have no issue with her helping. She and Jewel are good friends." I shrugged. "Plus she is mated so I don't have to worry about her chasing me around the desk." I laughed remembering the day I had seen an Alpha I knew being chased in that manner by a very forward she-wolf. "Is her mate, Isaiah going to be ok with it?"
"He was the one to ask me to keep an eye out." Athens blew out his breath like it was old news.
"Good deal, send her to me whenever she is available and I can show her what I need." I nodded that business is done. "I will wait for the schedule. Adele do you want to walk with me or hang out here?" I eyed the girl closely.
"Athens said he would take me, and Mortou also said he would stick around too." Her voice was a quiet strength. I enjoyed that difference. It reminded me of my sister at her age.
