Here Kitty, Kitty - 36. Chapter 15.2

While everyone was finding their seats, Simon leaned close to Kitryn. “If you two grew up together then how is she a grandmother already? Surely she would be in her thirties like you?”

Kitryn huffed out a low laugh. “She is. When she met her mate he already had children from a previous relationship. And he is fifteen years her senior. Once mated she took his children as her own and so his grandchildren are hers too. The mother of his children died before their mating so there was no one to challenge her rights as a parent. Shifters don’t worry about biology, rather who is best for the child’s interest.”

“We need a plan.” Elder Patrick’s voice quieted all conversation. “The High Council has sent Helen to aid us.” Helen nodded at the round of greetings sent her way. “And she has told us of more Seers going missing. We need to get ahead of this Cheryl. But, how do we do that when she’s using the powers of the seers she’s kidnapping?”

Helen cleared her throat. “I may have an idea. Since I arrived I’ve been hearing that you have another seer here. Maybe that seer can give us an advantage on Cheryl.”

Shouts erupted around the room.

“Who told you this?” Elder Patrick Demanded.

“No one is putting Fran in the middle of this,” Simon yelled.

“My daughter is off limits to this mess,” Kitryn growled.

“Silence!” Carl’s hissed command made everyone still, except the baby who had been disturbed by all the noise and was currently wailing her heart out.

Zion rose. “Helen, let me take her and I’m sure someone can find me somewhere to wait.

Kitryn seemed to shake himself. “You can take her to visit with my lot. Meg is there caring for them. Anyone will be able to point you in the right direction.”

Zion nodded and after scooping up his granddaughter and dropping a brief kiss on Helen’s lips, he exited the room.

Carl had sat but was still holding the gazes of the table’s occupants. “No one is going to endanger anyone. However, if Fran can help us maybe You, Simon, or you, Kitryn, can talk to her and see if she knows anything. From what I know about seers not many can control their visions. That is what is confusing me about Cheryl. I can understand that she’s stealing the powers of the seers she’s taking, but how is she using them? She must be using some other form of magic to get the visions she needs.”

Everyone looked at each other and each shook their heads.

“I may be able to help,” O’Connor sighed. “Angel had some control over their visions. It wasn’t perfect—obviously or they wouldn’t have been taken—but, they had developed some methods to try and see what was needed.” Rubbed at his red-rimmed eyes, and Simon winced. How the man was up and around was astounding. From what he’d learned so far, being without his mate should have had O’Connor unconscious in bed.

“I’d be happy to speak to Fran, but I make no promises. From what I understand, Fran is a seer, new to her powers. She may not have the power yet to gain the control needed.”

Kitryn and Simon shared a look and Kitryn let out a long sigh. “I agree O'Connor should speak to her. But, if at any time I feel she is being made uncomfortable, I will end it.”

After getting everyone’s agreement, Kitryn and Simon led O'Connor out of the room.
