Book 3: The Love Of A Beta - Ch. 49 Council Of War

Avril's Point of View

We followed Mother into the large Council Chambers. Tyler and I walked hand-in-hand, much the same as the other couples with us. Although the threat to Tyler and my relationship was effectively over, I felt vulnerable, especially after my first heat.

"What are you ruminating about, my love?" asked Tyler.

"I'm just feeling relieved that Neri and Duan, along with the Elders, are imprisoned and will not be coming out until they are sentenced."

"There is no way they will escape the death sentence, will they?" asked Tyler.

I shook my head as we neared our destination.

The Council Chambers room had seen many discussions, from setting laws to border skirmishes. Now, it was going to see the possibility of war. The last thing we wanted. The last time I had been in this room was just before Alise went to be an envoy to the Vampire King and Queen, and I went to take that position with the new Lycan monarchs.

The room was of a reasonable size, enough to seat sixty attendees.
