Semua Bab She's The Queen - Book 2 of Calypso's Story: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Zen was immediately intimidated by the men and women around him. He may be royalty, but he knew that the men and women he was in the room with, had the power to take that away from him. They all eyed him, not a single one speaking up.“The men and women before you come from the prestigious families that have kept the vampire kingdom running behind the scenes for all these years. They all have something to lose by betting on you, but before we get to them, I need to teach you the history of the order,” Frazier told him, leaving the room.He assumed it meant that he had to follow, and he looked back to check if the other men were coming along, but they weren’t. Instead, he could hear the silence break as they all discussed their first impressions of him. He was too far gone to hear what they were saying, and eventually, they were out of earshot.He and his uncle walked for a while, before coming to the dead-end of one of the hallways – or at least he assumed it was a dead-end, until the

Samantha was frozen, despite what had just been said to her. She was breathing, but she couldn’t believe that he was finally standing before her, that he’d finally revealed himself. He didn’t say anything either, taking her in.Killian was suspicious of what he could sense between the two of them, and when no one was speaking, Calypso took control. “Who are you?”He turned away from his mate to look at her. “My name is Hale.”“And what are you Hale?” Killian asked him.Hale raised an eyebrow at him. “If I ask you the same question, will you furnish me with an answer?”Killian was cornered. “How can we trust what you’re saying? Why not stop the attack? How do we know you’re not one of the people who were a part of the attack?”“I’m fast, but not that fast. You know the attack is fresh. When would I have had time to clean up and show myself to you? Besides, my people got attacked too,” Hale replied.“And you did nothing to stop the attack?” Nathan asked him.“I had to be smart. I watche

Cain, Eddy, Harlan, and Wyatt were in charge of leading the different teams that had been allocated to check the pack houses of the Alphas attending the conference. They knew that the teams had to be small, and that they had to get into onto each pack, and into each pack house undetected.They’d been given a list of things to look out for, and they’d also been given freedom to use their guts should they spot anything that isn’t on the provided lists. Everyone knew what was expected of them.“This would’ve been easier with the Lycans,” Harlan pointed out.“Maybe, but we don’t have them with us right now because they’re already on security. Luckily for us, Mrs Grey has made it possible for us to at least move undetected. With that much in place for us, we should be able to get in and out without any hassles,” Cain told them.Amaya had made them potions that would allow them to hide their scents. That part would allow them to move without their scents being detected. It was up to them to

The castle was quiet, with everyone having gone to sleep. All talks and planning had been put on hold for the night, with the agreement that they’d pick things up again after the conference. It was meant to be a peaceful night.Until Calypso shot up, her shoulder searing.“Nymph, what’s wrong?” Killian asked as she screamed out.“It hurts Lian,” she barely got out, clutching her shoulder.He pulled her top down and was amazed at how the shoulder was lighting up. There was nothing on it, but it looked like it a torch had been put underneath her skin. He reached out to touch it, and she only screamed out even louder.“What’s going on?” Samantha came running into the room. She shielded the room to keep anyone else from hearing Calypso.Though from how she’d heard her a couple of doors down, she knew that most people had heard her.“I don’t know what’s going on Sam, but you have to come see this,” Killian told her.She walked over to see what her brother was showing her, and when she reac

Everyone around her looked at her with pride. She was already one of their best members even before her mating, but now, after everything had gone down, they had her on the highest pedestal.They were proud of who she could potentially become at the other side of the war.Zen had stood before The Order of Light and stated his case. He was confident in everything he had to say to them, and from the smile his mate gave him, he knew that he’d stayed true to himself.The silence he’d experienced was uncomfortable, but he didn’t break it, letting them think over his words. He couldn’t tell if they were silently communicating or not from how silent they were.They all had poker faces on, and they kept their eyes on him the entire time.Vera was the one on the inside, so she could hear everything that they were saying about him. Her heart swelled with pride when she realized that he’d won them over, despite how nervous she could tell he was.They gave him their declaration, agreeing to not o
