Chapter 160
“Your grace, please take a seat.” One of the new faces, a man, spoke and stood up, he gestured to a single chair sat directly opposite the long table of people. “We have much to discuss,”
I took my seat in front of the small audience and waited for them to begin. Both Lewis and Elias also quickly took a seat at the table too and instantly I felt every single set of eyes turn to me. It was almost as if I was about to be interrogated, however the conversation quickly turned to V.
“V, the van is too damaged to send back across the borders, we need a new way to ensure our safety.” One of the woman spoke as she looked at me clearly blaming me for the state of the van, she was right of course I drove it into a tree, but she didn’t have to look at me the way she was,
“Oh right, well, we will have a think today and then discuss our options on that regard,” Procrastinating wasn’t the way to go, that van needed to be sent back out as soon as possible if they didn’t want the wolves to discover their base,
“With all due respect V, this needs to be sorted. Our location is in jeopardy.” Elias made his views known to the council who instantly began agreeing with him. I knew me coming here would be a mistake. I had to do something and no one else seemed to be having any ideas.
“We have other vans, we could always just send one of them out, with someone who matches the drivers description.” Lewis suggested but that wouldn’t work, because every time a border was crossed the license plate was taken down to
monitor comings and goings.
“You’ll have to swap the license plates over. On the entry into this sector, the plate was taken. If it’s not the same that crosses again then suspicion will only rise.” I stated to the room who in turn went incredibly silent. Was I not supposed to say anything? I just assumed it was an open discussion.
“We wouldn’t even have to worry about any of this if you weren’t here.” One of the women stated as she sneered at me. I knew I wasn’t welcome by everyone.
“We should just kill her, if she does the king will dig too.” Again with that stupid idea? I couldn’t believe this was the rebellion that was so revered by humans and feared by the lycans. So far since arriving the only thing they have done was get rid of my restraints and then threaten me.

“No one will lay a finger on her.” Lewis growled out, his eyes flashing slightly with the dominance of his wolf. It nice to see he was still sticking up for me despite it being my fault he lost his friend. Still, I knew I couldn’t rely on him to fight my battles forever, and so instead I stood up, everyone in front of me allowed their heads to turn to regard my form.
“I say we send her back to the king. We might even be able to bargain with him for some new equipment.” I was getting so frustrated with these people, So concerned over their own well–being that they didn’t care about mine.
“His grace will promise you the world and the second you hand me over, he’d kill you in a heartbeat.” I sighed standing up and walking to the entrance of the tent and leaning against one of the bars holding it up, my sight firmly on the open view outside. “And, if you think for one second the king will feel anything because of my death, then you are completely delusional. The king holds no regard for anyone but himself. The entire world has seen me getting beaten within an inch of my life on his orders, and how much remorse has he shown? None!”
