Avril's Point of View "You say you have the Council on your side. Is that all of the Council, or merely just a few members?" Mother questioned, her look partially bored, her tone steady and commanding. Duan's smirk widened, revealing a cunning confidence. "Your Majesty, I have the majority of the Council by my side. We share a common goal – the purity and strength of the Fae bloodline reigning supreme. Not only that. The Fae Realm will be closed to all non-Fae. We neither need business with them, nor do they benefit our way of life at all. If Prince Thorn does not put aside his mate, he will be declared a betrayer of our ideals. In deference to his sister, we will give him the choice of exile or death." His words hung ominously, and I exchanged glances with Tyler, silently affirming that we needed to tread carefully and continue our supposed rejection. There was just so much going on with Duan's declaration. There might still be information he would share with us. As the compulsi

Avril's Point of ViewWe followed Mother into the large Council Chambers. Tyler and I walked hand-in-hand, much the same as the other couples with us. Although the threat to Tyler and my relationship was effectively over, I felt vulnerable, especially after my first heat."What are you ruminating about, my love?" asked Tyler."I'm just feeling relieved that Neri and Duan, along with the Elders, are imprisoned and will not be coming out until they are sentenced.""There is no way they will escape the death sentence, will they?" asked Tyler.I shook my head as we neared our destination.The Council Chambers room had seen many discussions, from setting laws to border skirmishes. Now, it was going to see the possibility of war. The last thing we wanted. The last time I had been in this room was just before Alise went to be an envoy to the Vampire King and Queen, and I went to take that position with the new Lycan monarchs.The room was of a reasonable size, enough to seat sixty attendees.

Tyler's Point of View As I stalked through the forest, my senses heightened as my wolf instincts guided me. There was a significant amount of vegetation, trees, and foliage, yet there was still some space between individual trees and plants, creating rays of light from the sun above the canopy. I was pleased to be outside. Although Daemon and Adam usually went out on adventures, leaving me to run the pack, now it was my turn. Leading the party were Captains Aeon and Lysandros, with a squad of six Fae warriors. Our destination was based on information given by one of the ex-Elders. I wasn't sure if torture had been used, but if it saved innocent Fae's lives, then I had no problem with it. They were traitors. Beside me, my incredibly sexy mate, Avril, moved gracefully, her chainmail blending with the shadows. The metal was shimmering with ethereal hues of blue and silver when light filtering through the canopy hit it. She said it was made from Phaikón Árgyron, which translated to Fae

Tylers's Point of ViewWhile Daemon, Thorn, Alastair, Lysandros, Aeon and I were observing the interrogation, if you could call it that, of the two Dark Fae, I was missing Avril. She had come with us to capture them but wanted to have no part in any interrogation or torture. I was pleased, as I would have argued with her if she had wanted to be here.Now, we were heading back to inform Queen Aurora of our findings. I doubt she was going to be very happy with it. I know that we weren't. Echo was still pissed and wanted us to hunt down Lord Umbra right now to make sure our mate and her family were safe. I didn't blame him.A heavy silence draped the room as we gathered in Queen Aurora's chambers to share our grim findings. The revelation that the Dark Fae remained resilient under torture, conditioned by the sadistic Lord Umbra, sent a chill through everyone."How accurate is the information, Aeon," she asked."We have no way of genuinely telling since interrogation techniques weren't ef
