Shreya got out of the airport with Pranay, Vishakha and Aditya. She looked calm and had a commanding aura around her. The other three followed behind her. They hailed a cab and got in.
"How did it go?" she asked.
Aditya gulped in fear, he was aware of her temper. He looked at both his sides as Vishakha and Pranay both looked out of the windows ignoring his silent plea. He knew he was on his own now.
"We failed."
"The man?" she asked calmly and that scared them even more.
"He didn't make it." he uttered as he lowered his head in shame.
"Any trace backs?"
"Not possible. I made sure of that."
"At least you did one thing right."
Shreya sighed in disappointment and looked out of the window at the busy roads, the hustling markets, the tall buildings. This was the capital of the country, and thus was under the control of the most powerful coven. She sighed and thought, 'What a waste'. Devdoots were the oldest witch coven and were still treated like nobles everywhere. They were also the strongest till the Bhairavi house recruited a very powerful witch few decades ago. They had been on top after that even after she left. Their new master was more powerful than their madam too. This had lead to their way to be the second strongest coven. And now Dhira was more powerful than her, she hated that.
The ride was eerily quiet after that. They got off outside the huge iron gates and before they could pay, the gates opened and a man in a suit came out to pay.
He then turned around and bowed to greet them, "Young mistress sends her apologies for not being able to have welcomed you herself. She was busy with some coven affairs."
Shreya scoffed at that. As if Dhira would have came out, that b*tch was too proud. She looked down on everyone just because she was a little more powerful. Shreya walked past the man ignoring him and sat inside the car to be taken to the main house. The others sat in a different car behind her. Another man was waiting at the mansion's gate to welcome them.
"Young mistress has requested you to enjoy our hospitality. She will be here any moment."
Shreya got off and ignored his greeting as well. She was of much higher status and didn't bother with lowlifes. But Aditya was truly angered, How dare Dhira insult her like that. She may be the next heir of this coven but Shreya too was the next heir to a coven. He rushed inside angrily and left others stunned. They couldn't afford a scene right now. They had just came here. Vishakha ran and stopped him from doing anything, "Now is not the time." she whispered. He let out a grunt and stopped reluctantly. Shreya came in with Pranay and looked at Aditya. He could tell she was furious.
"Right now, your actions represent me." she said. Aditya nodded and apologized.
Dhira came downstairs in a wine coloured dress to see all four of them talking in a circle. She cleared her throat and they fell quiet. Their attention was now on the beautiful Dhira staring at them with a smile. Shreya smiled back and came forward, "Greetings, from Devdoots. We are really thankful."
"Bhairavi House welcomes you all. You can stay as long as you require. You will have our full assistance in everything." Dhira then gestured them to sit and sat down with them.
"Our Madam has sent her wishes for the coven master. May he be in his best health soon." Shreya said with a smile. On surface it looked like she was just being polite. But Dhira knew this was a way of warning her. She didn't let the news of his health even inside the coven yet. Only people in the mansion knew about it. She was showing off her intel quality.
Dhira smiled back, "Thank her for the concern. How is her heart condition nowadays?" Shreya's smile grew wider when she heard that, she was impressed. The reports of her Madam's heart condition had came just yesterday. Dhira was saying that Shreya had old news while she had the latest.
"She is taking cautions now. Thank you."
After that they continued normal conversation and talked about each others covens. Shreya told her intentions in coming to the capital. She was the next heir and had to have the best education in the country. That was the same college Dhira and others were attending. All of the Devdoot witches will be going there too. That would make it easier to keep an eye on them but that was the case for both sides. At that time a sweet voice interrupted their conversation and distracted everyone. Visha came running down the stairs and handed a book to Dhira completely ignoring Shreya and others. Shreya felt offended as a girl of no status had not only interrupted her but not greeted her either. Dhira saw the expression on her face and smiled politely, "She's new." she explained and then turned to Visha.
"This is Shreya, she is also the next heir to the coven Devdoot."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was too distracted and didn't see you. Hello." Visha extended her hand towards Shreya. But Shreya was shocked to see this new witch withstanding her. She should have been supressed like everyone else. Not just humans but normal witches cannot stand straight with her around. Dhira could see the shock and confusion on her face. She was like that too not long ago. Visha on the other hand was unable to understand why her greetings had been left hanging.
"There was another book with a black leather jacket beside this one. Go and read that one too." Visha nodded at Dhira and went back upstairs.
Dhira let out a hearty laugh as they all gawked at Visha leaving.
"She has been around a much more powerful witch than any of us since birth. She won't be suppressed by your aura." she explained to them.
Shreya looked away awkwardly while the other three were still trying to wrap their head around the fact that someone like Visha existed.
