Chapter 67

ARIEL’S POV

I was mostly grumpy on the days leading to the day of the meeting in the capital with the court of the Alpha King.

They were also annoyingly slow too.

I couldn’t wait for the day to arrive sooner. I wanted to know what the so-called meeting was going to be about.

The day finally arrived and I set out with my squad. Ikea also tagged along with us. Mostly at her insistence for the need to be present to be able to protect me, although I strongly believed I would fare just fine on my own.

But I couldn’t turn her down when she also mentioned that she had a good friend on the council. Apparently, this friend of hers just got his appointment to the court less than a year ago.

I couldn’t care less about the time of his appointment though but I now understood the importance and necessity for alliances more than I did four years ago and so Ikea having a friend on the council worked out well in my favor. It would do me good to have a trusted and loyal ally in that court.
