I told Griffin we were going to bed to make a statement to Hannah. We both knew we wouldn’t be getting sleep anytime soon. Next up was talking to his parents, we needed to discuss how to welcome the Council of Elders. And of course, they wanted to know how I was feeling. If I had decided on the punishment I wanted to ask for.
“I don’t want her to be killed, especially since she really is pregnant. I don’t want her pup to die because of their parents. She thinks she knows what a good leader is, as far as I am concerned she can manage on her own let her be rogue. I know it affects her pup too but her being
pregnant doesn’t mean she does not have to face the consequences” Not even Griffin knew what I had decided.
Because I wasn’t sure when we walked out of the interrogation room, Isabella’s question forced me to think about what I wanted to do. The words just came out, and it felt like the right decision.
“Aren’t you afraid she is going out to find David when she is a rogue? Not to mention the fact that she might very well still be a part of his pack?” Rodrick asked.
It wasn’t something that crossed my mind, but he was right. Still, the chances of her finding David were slim. Even if she did, she could find him and leave the country behind like he did as far as I was concerned.
The chances of David coming back just to get his chosen mate and hist pup out were even smaller. Again if he did it wouldn’t be the worst thing either, he was the country’s number one enemy now. There was no way he would get in and out of the country sight unseen. So that is what I told Griffin and his parents.
I could tell Griffin was worried but they all agreed with me. I knew Griffin would not want me to go out with bodyguards for a few more months. Sometimes it was annoying to never be able to be alone anymore. But it was a small price to pay. Both for my safety and his peace of mind. We talked about the technicalities for a bit. We decided to have the kitchen staff on standby to prepare a welcoming lunch. Tomorrow we would let the Council of Elders just decide if they wanted a few hours or even a day to settle in. Or if they would want to start the trial right away. If the latter was the case we would have the kitchen staff make a quick lunch for everyone at the trial.
I was getting tired and I still needed to prepare my statement and write the letter to officially request a punishment. We also needed to let my parents know and ask if they still wanted to come to the trial to support me. With the amount of work I still had to do we said goodbye to Isabella and Roderick and then made our way to our chambers.

“Darling, I texted your parents they are coming over tomorrow and will be here around 10 AM too. I’ll arrange for the plane to pick them up” Griffin was done with his shower and I hadn’t even noticed him walk up behind me until he kissed the top of my head.

Nonetheless, I was super grateful he had managed to let my parents know. And had started on transport to get them here. I would never take the jet for granted. But in moments like this the fact that we had the jet made the distance between me and my family feel,not as big.
“I love you baby” I said stroking his cheek but without taking my eyes off the letter I had written. It was done I just wanted to read it again, to make sure it was right. That it said everything I wanted to tell the council.
