Chapter 115
“We need to talk, Jason.”
He sighed and invited them in. All five seemed oddly uneasy.
“Alone,” Omar said. “This is a private conversation.”
“You entered my son’s house in the middle of the night,” he accused. “You stole blood from our future Pack Mother. I can only assume you wish to discuss the results of such actions. There is nothing you will say that will not be taken back to my pack, so please, speak freely.”
Man, Jason sounded pissed, and as scary as the Grand Council was, I could have sworn each of them squirmed slightly under his accusations.
“I agree, our methods were perhaps out of line. But Jason, the results are not something we wish to broadcast publicly for fear of the outrage and fear that could result.”
Cole stepped up as Kyle’s arm possessively tightened around me.
“Kelsey is an Alpha Female, hidden by her parents from the executioners and shouldn’t be alive today.” He said frankly.
Their eyes grew wide and their faces reddened in anger
“You knew? And yet you harbored her all this time?” He paused and looked around at the Westin Pack Council in shock. “Jason, do you realize the predicament you have put us all in? Do you realize how dangerous this all is?”
“Kelsey Adams is no danger to us, nor you. And I know this to be true because I have tested her powers personally, and if even an ounce of that strength showed up in your little test then you know that she willingly gave it because otherwise there would be absolutely nothing you could do to stop her. Yes, I agree, she is powerful, even more so than you realize now that her bond has sealed with Kyle’s. I do not say that as a threat, I say that for you to consider that with so much power, how is she able to control it? Afterall, isn’t that the real reason the Old Council placed a death sentence on children like her? Because females are too emotionally unstable to actually control the power? That is what the old books say, and I dare challenge you to test her level of control. It is unlike anything I
have ever seen.”
The Grand Council was furious. Vou could
Chapter 115
“The penalty for harboring such an atrocity against nature, is death. You have just willingly admitted that you and your Council have done just that. And now you make threat against your Grand
Council?”
“I’ve made no such threats, Titus. Do not put words into my mouth. I have simply invited you to test her for yourself and see that she is no threat to you.”
I hated that they were speaking about me as if I weren’t standing right there.
“Jason, there’s more to it,” Callum spoke softly. “I’m afraid the Bulgarians were the ones to raise the alarm and demand inquiry. We honestly took the sample of her blood only to try and identify her pack line. Nothing more. So forgive us, as we are all in shock over this discovery even if you do not seem to be.”
“And was it?” I asked softly. “Was my pack line discovered?”
He looked at me sadly and nodded. “I’m afraid it will not bring you peace. Quite the opposite actually. May we sit?”
I started to shake. I didn’t like the sudden softness of his voice. I could deal better with the fury and outrage than whatever this was.
“Kelsey, how much do you remember of your childhood?”
I looked to Kyle, then to Jason. Both nodded their heads encouraging me to tell my story. They already knew what I was, so what harm could possibly come of it now?
I took a deep breath and launched into the story of my childhood, what little I remembered and the dreadful night of my parents‘ murder, how I got away, how I changed that night, and a little about how I survived afterwards prior to coming to San Marco.
They were quiet for a few moments after I completed my story. I wasn’t sure what to do or say. They just sort of looked at each other knowingly.
“Kelsey,” Victor began slowly. “We were able to not only determine your pack line, but we are 100% positive we know your identity. We have not shared this information with Kamen yet, but he will insist on hearing it and he will explode when he finds out.”
I took a sharp breath and felt Kyle’s arm wrap around my waist. He was standing just behind me. I was grateful for his presence.
