My Fated Alpha's Cruel Game (Elena and Marcus) novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Chapter 203 Council Falls

Elena’s POV

The commotion in the middle of the night jolted Asher and me from our sleep. I scrambled for my clothes while Asher did the same beside me.

We hurried downstairs to find Miller barking orders in the living room, his expression grim and focused.

"What’s happening?" I demanded, my heart racing.

Miller turned to us, his face etched with concern. "Just got word from Damien and Elena. They tracked down Holloway and secured all the evidence they needed against him."

Asher stepped closer, tension radiating from his body. "What about the werewolf council?"

"They put up a fight. Turns out they knew exactly what Holloway was doing and chose to protect him." Miller’s jaw clenched. "It escalated into violence."

My stomach dropped. Everyone knew crossing the council meant serious trouble.

"Don’t panic. Damien and Elena made it out safely. But the werewolf council is finished. Completely disbanded." Miller’s words hung heavy in the air.

"What does that mean for everyone?" I asked, trying to process the magnitude of what had happened.

Caleb strode into the room, his presence commanding immediate attention. "It means the Alphas will have to convene and vote on new council members. And they need to do it fast."

Relief flooded through me. "Are they coming back now?"

"Already on their way home. Stop worrying." Caleb’s tone softened slightly. "They have solid proof that the council was abusing their authority against their own people. No one’s going to blame mom or dad for what happened tonight."

I felt some of the tension leave my shoulders, though the shock remained. They had actually taken down the werewolf council, the governing body of their entire species.

This world continued to baffle me. Growing up human meant following established laws and court systems. But werewolves seemed to handle justice through direct action, with Alphas and Lunas acting as judge and jury for their packs. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Sleep became impossible after that revelation. I made coffee and retreated to the front veranda, needing space to think.
