Conclave Novels & Stories

He then frown. " The person that the chairman is trying to make the best is only Nathaniel. You cannot be Nathaniel. No matter how hard you try, you will only be a well trained dog." He adjusted his glasses. I smile. I can't let my guard down. " Please take care of me." I said. " I'm different from the chairman. Those who so throw away their convictions cannot be trusted even more." He then step out of my way. " I'll take care of you. Goodbye."

"Learn anything interesting?" "Kind of," Nuri said as they walked in together. "The bylaws didn’t explain much. They just made things more confusing." She smiled politely at the waiter who led them to a booth, but Kalmin's expression soured when the guy handed her the menu a little too eagerly. “She can read it on her own. Why don’t you go get her a cola—and I’ll take a beer,” Kalmin said sharply. Nuri didn’t seem to notice. “It said there are two paths to joining the conclave—descendant or ascendant. Descendant means one of the founding five, right?"

"Tonight you're not. The second your wolf fully surfaced, in front of a Council trial no less, you became something the Conclave can't ignore anymore. I've spent fifteen years staying exactly one step ahead of people who wanted me erased. I know what it looks like when that kind of attention turns toward someone. And I'm telling you, it's already turning toward you." "How long do we have?" Kael asked. "Days. Maybe less." My father's gaze moved between Kael and me, something calculating behind the exhaustion. "The Conclave moves slow by design. It's part of what makes them dangerous. They don't panic, they don't rush, they gather

We have become so close we are talking in the direction of asking permission so we can be each others 2nd chance mates. Shawn's mate died when they were 6. Car accident out in town, she was human but that doesn't make it anymore sad then it already is. We have to ask permission from the Alpha and Luna. Then the council. I knew Jackson's parents would agree but now with Alpha dead we would have to wait until a new Alpha, meaning Jackson would come in to power. I turned to grab my basket full of bags of seeds when I saw a limo pass by us as they slammed on their brakes and came to a halt at the end of my property.

I didn't see the conversation going like this. "I can and I will... " He said. "No! I propose a conclaid..." I said. "No, that hasn't been done in decades..." He said. "So is my punishment for defiance." I said. A conclaid is an age old tradition that happens when someone challenges the Alpha for the right to take over the pack as a leader. This hasn't been done in years because no one has ever challenged my father before. It's a fight to the end. If I win this fight then I get to state my terms and if I lose, I will either be dead or I will have to submit to him. I will have to accept him as my Alpha which will also feel like a death sentence.

"What's on the cards today?" "Let's see," Isabella began, her voice steady and precise amid the organized chaos. "You are going with Peeta to a high stakes meeting with the Japanese in about thirty minutes, followed by negotiations with the Chinese at noon. Alberto's eager for a follow-up, ready to put our plans into motion. Alessandro's email unveiled a tantalizing new menu for the restaurant. Shipments are prepped, eagerly awaiting your green light, and Mr. Casino's pushing for your nod on expanding our delivery routes. However, silence from the security firm today," the urgency in her tone mirroring how important the decisions I make would be.

It was a tactical, cold-blooded discussion, but underneath it all, I could feel the electricity between us growing—a tension fueled by the knowledge that we were walking toward a cliff edge together. Around midnight, a messenger arrived with a sealed scroll. Eryx broke the wax seal, his eyes scanning the contents, his face going pale. "What is it?" I asked, my heart skipping a beat. "The Conclave has officially met," he said, handing me the scroll. "They’ve issued a formal challenge. They’re calling for a trial by combat at the base of the sacred peaks in three days' time. If we don't show, they claim the crown by right of heritage. If we do..."

Guards in uniform, bearing the emblem of the High Council of Vampires, immediately approached. "It's her," a young guard pointed at me, "She defiled the sacred spring and refuses to leave." The captain's face turned stern. "There is a distinguished guest at the Blood Covenant today," he announced, "His Majesty the Sovereign of the Midnight Court, along with his consort and heir, are in attendance. Their arrival marks the first time the Court has appeared outside the Inner Domain." A ripple of unease spread through the hall. "No one is allowed to cause a disturbance," the captain continued coldly. His gaze was fixed on me. "Especially a human. Your very existence is almost blasphemous."

“They’ll try to split you. Put you on trial separately. Divide and conquer.” Kael nodded. “Then we don’t give them the chance.” Aria looked up at him. “We go together?” “Together,” he said. No hesitation. --- The Conclave Hall sat on neutral ground, halfway between Mooncrest and Blackthorn territory. A fortress of white stone and old magic, built before cars existed. Inside, twelve elders sat in a half-circle on raised thrones. Their faces were hidden behind silver masks. Tradition. Or cowardice. Aria couldn’t decide which.
