With everything that happened, I’d forgotten about the council, but now, the pit in my stomach had grown wider.There was nothing more terrifying than the idea of standing in front of a bunch of old lycans and waiting for them to make a decision on your mating.“The council will not refuse. I have never heard of them ever saying no to a mated pair. They value the mating bond more than anything.”“There’s a first time for everything,” I mumbled and he frowned. “Relax, it was a joke.”He rolled his eyes. “You have a weird sense of humor.”“Have you heard anything from Ethan yet?” I decided to swiftly change the subject.I didn’t want to spend any more time talking about the council, because that would mean facing the fact that I was nervous about the whole thing and that wasn’t something I wanted to deal with.“No. He’s been suspiciously quiet, but I know he’s heard the rumors.”“I got a call from my father.”Elias went deathly quiet.I probably should have told him earlier, but the cal

Carlos stayed with me all day, and by the time we went back in for dinner, I felt weirdly relaxed and less stressed about the upcoming meeting with the council.I never expected that I’d find solace in his company, but I was quickly learning that he wasn’t as tough as he liked to portray himself.No one said a thing about the grass in our hair or the water on our feet when we arrived for dinner. Elias just smiled at me as I took the spot next to him and Erina filled dinner with chatter about her day.Felicity didn’t show up, and it truly was the most beautiful dinner I had in a while. It felt… domestic. I could almost see us doing it for more years to come and that scared me a little.After dinner, I retired to my room immediately, not waiting to see if anyone wanted to speak to me. I knew it was dismissive, and a part of me felt bad about it, but there were too many things on my mind for me to focus on that.I wasn’t sure what time I managed to fall asleep, but when I woke up, it was

It took me a moment to realize what had just happened, and once I did, I let out a breath of relief.I didn’t know what to do or how to respond to their bow, so I tipped my head forward a little. “Thank you.”They rose as one and I watched in shock as they simultaneously took down their hoods. I was right about their ages, these men were old and they looked like clones of each other—bald heads and narrow eyes. They looked to be closer to the end of their lives than the beginning.“Our appearance shocks you, doesn’t it?” one of them asked with a small smile.“How long have you lived?”“Too long. You will soon enjoy the curse that is long life.”The answer was vague, and I knew that was the best I’d get. Elias must’ve realized it too because he nodded and stood to his feet, gently guiding me to mine as well.“Thank you for having us. We must leave.”“Of course, Allow us to walk you out.”The council moved like a well oiled unit. They walked with the same feet, their steps so silent on t

I didn’t go back to my room.It was probably the first place Elias would look for me if he wanted to find me.Instead, I went down a random hallway. I had no idea where I was going, but I kept my head high like I knew the halls well and kept moving.Every few minutes, I’d pass an unassuming guard or maid who would bow to me and walk past. Still, I didn’t stop or ask for directions. I just kept walking until I found myself at the end of a hallway.There was a pair of wooden double doors with a sigil branded on it in front of me.It should’ve been my sign to turn back, but instead, I found myself heading towards the doors. I reached for the handle and surprisingly, it was open.I wasn’t sure what I was expecting, but a dark room was not the case. It took me a second to find the light switch, and once I did, my mouth fell open.It was some sort of shrine or memorial to the past Alphas, and I knew that because right in front of me was the picture of a man who as the splitting image of Eli

“You wouldn’t happen to know anything about why I saw Felicity packing her stuff out of the pack house, would you?” Carlos drawled as he made his way into the kitchen.I was in the middle of slicing up some fruits for myself.The maids had offered to do it for me, but I wanted to use my hands for a bit. Being waited on hand and foot was nice, but sometimes, I wanted to do things for myself.“She left?” I asked and he nodded.“A few minutes ago. She was fuming.” He took a slice of apple from my plate and I narrowed my eyes at him. “You didn’t answer my question, Isadora.”“Leave her alone, you’re such a pest,” Erina said as she made her way into the kitchen. “Maybe Elias just had a change of heart.”Carlos snorted. “I doubt it. He’s a good Alpha, but he’s so fucking clueless.”I let them squabble for a few minutes because it took the attention away from me.I finished with my fruits and cleaned up before they even remembered that I was in the room.When they finally turned to me, Erina
