I watched as all five men stood and nodded at Wyatt and Reed. They left the room without saying a word. Reed followed them out and showed them the front door. I just sat there in silence, not sure what to say or do. I almost felt numb by it all.
Wyatt pulled the chair out beside me and sat down. Gripping my chair, he rotated it in one forceful motion, so I was looking straight at him. He pulled the chair close to him. This caused my knees to touch his chair as his legs were spread apart.
“We will not let them have you! You are safe here and we will protect you!” Wyatt declared as either hand was holding my face. Reed walked in and slammed the door shut. I turned to look at him as he punched a hole in the wall.
“We have one week to prepare for them. We need to get ahead of these accusations. Damage control. We can’t lose allies. If they believe she is actually guilty, then they will side against us.” Reed said as he gripped the chair. Blood was dripping down his hand, on the chair.
“A statement” I said quietly.
“What?” Reed asked, looking at me.
“We need to make a statement. Like do something to prove who I am, and I am here to take my place as their queen. Almost forces people to decide against their rightful queen and power-hungry men.”
“She is right.” Wyatt said, looking at Reed. He nodded his head in agreement.
“We have less than one week to figure out what that play is and execute it.” I said, leaning back in my chair. I started racking my brains to figure out what exactly I could do.
“How about an Alpha meeting?” Wyatt said, looking at Reed.
“That is short notice though. They may not all be able to attend…” Reed said.
“Teleconference then. Video them so they will see and hear all that is said. I will need to prove my abilities and take my stance once and for all for the world to see.” I said, looking at Reed.
“We have the capabilities here for that. Everyone who cannot attend in 5 days will video in and watch from their office. I will let everyone know.” Reed said and walked out of the room, leaving Wyatt and I.
“We need to figure out the rest of my abilities” I said. I am starting to get anxious about this.
“You need to change”, Wyatt stood up and I followed him as we made our way to our bedroom.
Shit, I forgot about Kelly! Opening the door, I walked in and was ready to say hi when I was met with an empty room. “I bet she went to Reed’s room already”, Wyatt said as he walked to the closet. Frowning, I followed him in there. He had already stripped off his shirt and was holding a pair of shorts. I found a sports bra and leggings that were all black. Grabbing some socks, I put my shoes on and walked out of the closet.
I found Wyatt staring out the window into the forest. “You, okay?” I asked.
“Of course, I am, let’s go!” He said, clearly annoyed, but I let it go. He will tell me when he feels like it, I guess.
I continued to follow him silently as we wandered around the house till we came to a room that was full of concrete. A concrete box to be exact. He walked in the middle of it and turned to look at me. All I could think about was how damn sexy he looked without a shirt on.
“Focus Nina”, Wyatt sighed “We have got to figure this out. You already know you can feel emotions, electrocute people and send a blast.”
