Kael POV“The Council?” Selena asked immediately. “You’re going?”I folded the letter slowly and placed it on my desk without answering her. I could smell the fear rising in her scent already.Beta Bastien stood quietly near the door, watching us both with crossed arms.“Kael,” Selena pressed again. “Are you going to attend the meeting?”“The Council’s summons cannot be ignored,” I said calmly.Her face tightened immediately. “So you are going.”“I said it cannot be ignored.”“That means yes.” She said again.I leaned back in my chair and studied her. She looked genuinely terrified now, and annoyingly enough, my wolf reacted violently to it. Wanting me to protect her.The instinct clawed through me immediately. ‘Claim her.’ I ignored it ruthlessly.“If my father tells them I’m here…” she began quietly.“He won’t.”I cut in immediately.Her brows furrowed. “How can you be sure?”“Because he has no proof.”“I’m sure he suspects.”“Suspicion is not enough inside the Council chamber.”Sele

Selena POVI could barely focus on scrubbing the wooden counters in front of me as my thoughts had been trapped in the Council meeting since morning.Every possible outcome kept replaying in my mind over and over again until I felt like screaming.“What if Father discovered I was in Blackbourne? What if Alpha Kael decided to provoke him and revealed it himself?”The man was unpredictable enough to do something reckless simply because his pride demanded it and worse— “What if they fought?”I gritted my teeth as different thoughts kept replaying in my head and I dipped the cloth back into the bucket of water.I hated the fact that I was worried about Alpha Kael. I truly hated it but no matter how much he irritated me, I still knew one thing.My father was dangerous. Very dangerous.People spoke of Alpha William’s strength like legends around fires.Even when I was little, I remembered seeing warriors tremble after training sessions with him. I remembered hearing stories of how he subdue

Kael POVThe moment Alpha William walked into the antechamber, I felt my mood worsen.Wonderful! Just when I thought my day could not become any more irritating.The familiar scent reached me before the man himself did. He stepped into the room with four warriors behind him, carrying himself with that same confidence that had made lesser Alphas fear him and made me want to punch him in the throat.For a few moments, neither of us spoke. We simply glared at each other and the room seemed to grow quieter around us.Even Councilman Cedric, who never seemed capable of shutting his mouth for more than a minute, wisely remained silent.Alpha William’s gaze settled on me as mine settled on him.The old bastard smiled first and called out, “Alpha Kael.”His voice was smooth and pleasant to others who didn’t know him. But it’s mainly a lie. Everything about that man was a lie.I leaned back in my chair and reciprocated by calling out too, “Alpha William.”His smile widened slightly. “I must ad

Selena POV“Stop right there.” My voice came out sharper than I expected.Grengy only smiled but not a normal smile. It was the kind that made my skin crawl. The kind that told me he was enjoying every second of this.The lantern hanging from the wall cast strange shadows across his bruised face, making him look even uglier than usual.“You still don’t know when to keep that mouth shut, do you, kid?” he asked and I took a step backward while my eyes darted around the room.The Three men, one holding Sally with a knife pressed against her throat while the other two stood near the door and Grengy slowly advancing toward me.Marqee suddenly stirred from her bed as she sat upright sleepily. “What is all this noise—”The moment she saw the knife against Sally’s throat, she gasped. “Oh Moon Goddess—”“Quiet!” The man holding Sally snarled as his blade dug slightly into Sally’s neck making her flinched.Marqee immediately covered her mouth as the room fell silent while My heart hammered insi
