"I'm going to be okay. They'll figure this out. Take the kids home. I love you." He choked out as he was escorted from the room. As soon as he was out, the rest of the pack cleared the area, and the guards surrounded Natalie and me, taking us back to our respective rooms. Killian sent me a glare on
Charlie's P.O.V.I was up and ready to go before the sun rose the next morning. My adrenaline and anger fueled me to keep moving forward. "You're still here," Killian's voice called out from across the foyer, and I glanced past him to see a team of warriors geared up and ready to go. He sounded sur

Charlie's P.O.V.Damien found me on the steps a few minutes later, and I immediately grabbed his hand and dragged him back upstairs. I already wasn't planning on being there when the council arrived. I despised them. But now, even after seeing how distressed Natalie was at having to face them witho
