Novel & Cerita Phantom Menace Jedi Council

"I love you, James." "I—Love you too," he said, his voice rough with fear. "Both of you. So much." He dropped the phone and with force rubbed all of his eyes. Deeply shaking his head, he turned back into the warehouse and toward his team, toward the work that was still to be done. The Shadow Council had been eliminated, but it was only a piece of cake from there. A better world was never easy, and in the faces of his gaffe friends, James knew they were heading in the right direction.

Lillie walks to me and sits down in my lap, and I kiss her cheek. “Good job, Luna.” I whisper to her, and she blushes so adorably. When Richard is sure his family is safe, Ilisa brings them with her, and closes the door. Cass stays with us and I call up Kendrick for a conference call, looping in Maddie and Lian in the vampire Court as well. This is huge, and we need them to be informed immediately and make decisions. HC Dorian presents the young pale looking man as Josin, scribe at the Council HQ. I gesture at them to sit after Lillie summons more chairs. They do, and we are under way.

“The execution shall take place. I don't want you to be a weak queen or luna. The people will only take you for granted.” A knock rapped on the door. Retracting his hand from my face, Calix turned to the door. “Come in,” he beckoned. The portal came open and Han walked into the room. “The council is here,” he announced. My heart began to thud, each thump keying me into anxiety—perspiration prickling my skin. Footsteps inched into the room and it was Leia. Calix gazed back at me. “Would you come with me to the meeting, bella?”

"It's alright, Joe. He's with me, you have my permission to let him pass through." "As you wish, Prime Alpha." He stuck his back into his compartment. A second later, the black iron gate opened up slowly which only led to my nerves building up. Kayden returned to his seat and turned to me. "Are you feeling nervous?" Jonas stepped on the gas as he drove into the estate. "You ask very weird questions sometimes, cousin. Of course, she's nervous. You're making me drive her to her death." "I am the leader of the Council, she has nothing to fear." Nothing to fear except for death and whatever monsters they had in the Council.

I snapped back. "We have an eyewitness," the council head responded. Francis stepped forward, showing me footage of Kai killing Alpha Nesser. I looked at Kai, whose eyes conveyed his innocence. A hand wrapped around my arm, and I saw it was Leia, looking terrified as she saw Francis's presence. No, the look in Leia's eyes made it look like this was a mate-bonding moment between Francis and Leia. Do they still share a mate's bond? How is that even possible? The situation has become incredibly complicated.

🚨 ALERT: INTRUSION DETECTED IN SECTOR ZERO. A glowing crimson holographic projection burst into life above the table, overriding our data files. It was a live broadcast from the White Mane home territory. Standing in the center of my pack's council chambers was Uncle Gideon. He was dressed in the heavy, silver-plated robes of a High Council diplomat, surrounded by an entire battalion of elite Vanguard executioners.

James protested as the guards detained him immediately he came back into the pack. “James, you have some questions to answer about your whereabouts. Alpha Grayson and the council of elders are waiting for you,” Beta Luke informed him and signaled to the guards to lead him to the hall. James was ushered into the council’s hall by two guards, his expression was unexpectedly calm as he stood in the midst of the council. The council of elders—Elder Robert, Elder Demas, and Elder Gaius—sat in their usual seats, their faces a mix of curiosity and suspicion.

I see pack members looking around frantically, unsure of what to do. “Not by Mother. Summoned by the Menae.” Justice’s voice is hollow now, as if she can’t believe it’s true. “When the lamp is lit, they have to convene. They only have the power to summon the other Leaders when the lamp is lit. That’s the legend, anyway. I’ve never seen it happen.” “And you think this lamp could make Codi disappear, too?” “With the Menae, anything is possible.” She warns. “Milo, we need to check on Codi.”

My father’s ghost refused to stay buried. Elena leaned forward, tapping the screen. “They call themselves The Phantom Council. Not a new faction, an ancient one that’s been operating in the shadows for decades, controlling governments, corporations, and criminal empires from behind the curtain. They see our merger as a threat to their balance. But here’s the twist…” She pulled up a photo. A woman in her late fifties, elegant, silver-streaked hair, eyes that looked hauntingly familiar. My breath caught. “That’s… Elena? No. That’s *my mother*.”

“We’ll be there.” The council room was small and dimly lit, with a large holographic display in the center. Five resistance leaders , hardened veterans, witches, and former hunters, sat around the table. Sable, Liora, and I took seats across from them. Since Jax couldn't attend in person, he joined via video from the medical wing. One of the leaders, a woman with sharp eyes named Captain Reyes, activated the hologram. It showed a map of the region with several red markers.
