LOGINStephanie's POV:Comtinued...I felt a fire rage shoot through my body. My eyes landed on Councilman Gaines. His smug look did something in my chest. My fire simmering to a cold steel, one that is aimed at him. My hands fell from the podium, my back straight. "Why?"I asked, eyes directed to him alone."Let me answer that. I don't want there to be anymore doubt."Heather said from beside me, her hand resting against my shoulder. Her eyes were set on him as well. She usually kept a composed face, but for the first time in my life, I saw that composure slip. "The research I did when I looked into Cimone, I came upon a dead end. I knew there had to be something in the records. If not for the people, than for the King. I was right. No one but the Alpha King's have been privy to this system. I won't disclose too much on that, but within it, I found out many things. I found out about Cimone's relationship with us wolves, and how she greatly disagreed with many of the things we did as a pe
Stephanie's POV:The doors thumped then moved opened. The lights of the hall cascaded a glow against my skin. The guards that ushered the doors to open to me, guided me in with a wave of their hand. I took a deep breath in, then stepped forward. The room was in absolute silence. I moved without urgency, deliberate in where I placed my steps. Heather locked eyes with me, and I could tell she could see the turmoil that has nested comfortably inside me. As I stood there, my mind was scattered with the knowledge of not knowing. I have no clue as to where my daughter is, or if she's even still alive. Yet, here I am, standing before people who is ready to condemn my grandchild. A girl who I've come to know and understand a bit more. Who, purposely or not, slithered her way into my heart. Her story has caused the casing around my heart to shift, and has been slowly dissolving. My heart aches, knowing as she fights for her life, there are many who only wishes to destroy it. I stepped up on th
Heather's POV: Stephanie and her party must've all been on their way because they pulled up ahead of us to the council building. Blackcresent was closer to the building than the royal pack. I saw the many people within her party, and a few of them confused me. I stepped out, along with Yanell and her mate, Jason. Andrew, the king's beta was already in the building, just not allowed within the council room. All second in commands stood just outside the door of their royal counterpart. It left the room feeling less... hostile?? Besides that, I saw Stephanie with her daughter, Jordan. I wasn't expecting to see Jordan here. Tori climbed out the car with her mate, and as expected, she looked both furious and scared. I then see a man and two women. They are not a part of Blackcresent or RisenMoon pack. I frowned as I took a step closer to them all. I turned to Stephanie first. "It seems you brought the calvary with you." She didn't display any hint of humor. Her eyes looked heavy. "Wha
Edward's POV:I felt a smile tug on my lips, as I watched the great Alpha Prince leave in a huff. The royal family gathered themselves before taking their seats once more."I do hope you can keep yourselves in order. We can not afford another outburst."King Carric spoke, amusement all throughout his words. King Marcus glared at him, falling still."Do not take my calmness for weakness, Carric. Do not push."King Carric frowned."It is King to you.""But you are not MY king."King Marcus replied, swiftly. King Carric looked offended."Don't play victim, Elf King. You poked the bear. Now you're upset at them poking back? I'm more impressed at the prince's self restraint, giving the knowledge of how protective wolves are of their mates. The fact that you're still breathing is mercy."Queen Vespera said, looking directly at King Marcus and his family. Queen Iris nodded her thanks with a soft smile."I've done no such thing. I simply stated the truth. I will let the outburst slide, this t
Cersai's POV:continued..."Well, now I need to meet this girl. If she was able to bring closer together the tumultuous dynamic duo of wolves and vampires, I liked to see what makes her so special."Vespera spoke with a smile."That's the thing. That child is not a wolf. She's human."Edward spoke, interrupting. The room fell into silence, shocked at the revelation. Carric scoffed."You've got to be joking? There's no way any of you would allow a mere human to come into our world! You know it's against our laws!"Carric shouted. I frowned, feeling my anger getting the best of me."Not only that, she is said to be fated to our Alpha Prince "Edward continued, looking up at us. Gasp rung out around us. King Carric slammed his long, golden scepter down, silencing the room."Unbelievable! Not only have you allowed a human to know about wolves, you've invited it into your bed."My eyes widened at the words he choose to use. This time, I wasn't the only one controlling my anger. Kera tensed
Cersai's POV:Many bodies filled the hall, finding their seats. My face was stone as I scrapped my gaze over every face. Every piece of cloth, nail, hair, creature... I would remember. If any dared to cause harm to what was mine, death would be their only reward. I watched the Elf King, carefully. His iridescent eyes glowed with rage. I had to fight a smirk. The almighty Elf King has been made a fool in front of us all. His hand came down hard against his throne."THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!! HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE??!"He shouted."King Carric, please, control yourself. If it was impossible, it wouldn't be happening. If it hadn't happened, we wouldn't be here."The Fairy Queen spoke. Though her words and voice were gentle, the impact behind her words were not. The Fairy Queen sat with her mate and her two children. She was a tall, gorgeous woman with long, silvery-white hair and glowy yellow eyes. She looked very young, no more than a few years older than me. But I know she was at least 15
Cersai's POV:It's been a hard couple of weeks. Since Kwen has come back from her mystery adventure, where she brought back Miza and Melody, and James's parents have returned, Kwen has been preoccupied with training. I've barely been able to see her. It's beginning to affect Reign and I. She trains
Miza's POV:I felt her energy shift once the words fell from my lips. I had to finish all of what I was saying, before I wouldn't get the chance. I raised my hands up."WAIT! Before you criticize me, please let me explain."I begged. Her eyes sparkled a golden color that let me know that she was on
King Marcus's POV:Back in the states: In the Royal Kingdom...My shoes clacked on the marble floors, as I made my way to the throne room. I was meeting with an old acquaintance that I haven't seen for some time. It took about a week before I was able to reach her. She hasn't shown her face here si
Flashback: At The Lounge...I smiled the moment I finally made it face to face with Sebastian. I saw two other new comers at the table and assumed they were with him."Nice to see you again, Sebastian."He said nothing at first. All he did was stare. I tilted my head, confused as to why he said not
