~Godfrey’s Point of View~ Who did this dog think he was? No one escapes me, no one … escapes the justice of the council. I would hunt this piece of shit shifter to the end of the earth if that’s what it took. The very idea that Gunner could keep escaping us was the most infuriating thing. I dashed to where the she-wolves were being held and demanded that two be brought to me. “Tell me about your pack, why are they housing Alpha Gunner,” I said to the two women. They looked at me and growled, and I didn’t have time for this nonsense. Pat the she-wolf from headquarters stepped forward, sensing my anger. “It’s okay he’s not going to hurt you, you have to tell him what you know,” Pat said. They continued to scowl but knew what Pat said was true. “My name is Olivia, I’m mated to a warrior named Colin, please don’t kill him,” she begged. “I can’t promise anything, if he fights for Gunner,” I said plainly. “Alpha Gunner came to us promising to expand the pack, which we desperately n
~Hunter’s Point of View~ “Baby, are you okay, where are you hurt,” I said, picking up my Lilly and holding her. “Mostly just scratches, Gunner wouldn’t let them really hurt me but I was still trying to get a few swipes in,” she said, with a smile. “Even though I told her ass to run,” Chance said, wincing as Angel began assessing his wounds. “They would have just loved the chase, I didn’t see the point,” she defended herself. “Chance man, we owe you the biggest favor imaginable, thank you so much,” River said, kissing Lilly’s cheek. Lilly pulled back from River and threw her hands in the air. “Oh no! Mom, Grammy, Daisy and Sunny were left back at the house ... are they okay,” Lilly said, panting and out of breath. My heart stopped, not even realizing that we did leave them there. Surely someone had checked on them, or the fairy stayed with them? “What happened to Max,” I demanded. “The Beta snapped his neck, nothing I could do. I couldn’t help anyone else, Lilly was my only c
~Lilly’s Point of View~ I hugged everyone and said good night. I knew everyone was just as exhausted and desperate to sleep as I was. I had no idea where they were putting everyone up but I just couldn’t think about it right now. I felt horribly selfish about that but I just needed some time to myself, and a shower. I wanted to say thank you to Max for his bravery and sacrifice, but they’d already taken his body away. I decided I would pray about it later. I did check on Chance and between getting some vampire blood and Katrina taking care of him, he was already more than half healed. Apparently he’d really fought about taking the vampire blood but he had internal bleeding, a shattered collarbone and a dislocated shoulder just to name a few injuries. I felt like anything else just had to wait until tomorrow. “The shower is all yours baby,” Hunter said, as he walked out of the bathroom. “Need any help,” Skyler asked, already clean as well. I laughed. “No, I’m good but I’ll see
~Lilly's Point of View~ I was dressed in one of my most conservative dresses, which wasn't saying much since it still looked like Sunny was in full control of my closet. Now that I had my mates I wanted my body to only be for their eyes and I was going to need an entirely new wardrobe. Skyler was already chomping at the bit to take me to the mall and I knew he’d make me visit the lingerie store. Dusk constantly flirted with Violet and it was like a war going on in my head. I couldn’t believe what a horny toad Violet was and she didn’t give up easily. Even if I could convince Dusk to behave a bit, she’d just start up with Hawk or Buck. I had no idea what all to expect from today’s proceedings, but I overheard someone say they were knocking out all kinds of issues in court today since they’d been tied up too long with Gunner. The guys were all working so they weren’t in here, but I was sitting with their parents, my parents and Ridge. Godfrey appeared in some silly and ridiculou
~Lilly's Point of View~ “Next is the matter of Alpha Evan and Beta William from the Black Creek Pack,” Fiona the council witch said. I didn’t really know her at all, and I wondered what she even did, it didn’t seem like they gave her very much responsibility. I stared at the two men, they were very rough looking and they were definitely wolves you didn’t want to run into alone out in the woods. “Alpha Evan and Beta William, you are accused of aiding and abetting war crimes, harboring a known fugitive, and open treason for defying the council during wartime, what say you,” Fiona asked. “You all can fuck right off,” the Beta said. Godfrey snorted and I clenched Ridge’s hand. This was bad. This would end badly. “Alpha Evan, do you share your friend’s sentiments,” Dina asked. “Yeah fuck you, old ass bitch,” he said. In what can only be described as a burst of light and energy, a flash left Dina’s hand and hit the Alpha right in the heart, setting him ablaze. The Alpha let out a
~Lilly's Point of View~ “Next I wish to address Fiona,” Godfrey said. All eyes turned to the witch, who looked surprised, or maybe she was just pretending to be. “Godfrey,” she asked, in a questioning manner. “I hear everything that goes on in my house eventually Fiona. There are far too many rumors for my liking. There are many who believe you were aiding Kai. Once he went missing there was still information getting out that could only have been leaked by someone still here. I’ve also had various telepaths following you for a while and I am not at all pleased with what they have reported,” Godfrey accused. I grasped Skyler’s hand hard and I involuntarily shook. What would they do to her? A door opened and every single head in the room turned to see warlock Ben. I looked back at Fiona and she was completely expressionless, and almost as if in a frozen state. “I have no choice but to immediately suspend your seat on the council. Ben is already in the process of putting a removal
~Lilly's Point of View~ “This one, try this one for me,” Skyler said, holding up a scrap piece of lace fabric that probably wouldn’t even cover one of my huge boobs. “It’s already a piece of scrap and you would just claw it off me and have it shredded in a second anyhow,” I said, quite seriously. “The thrill is in the chase, come on pllllease,” he said, whining. We had been in the mall shopping for over two hours and I was beat. I was coming up on nearly three months pregnant, which in human terms was nearly half way there. “Baby, I love your growing body so fucking much, huge boobs and a perfect ass, obviously you know I can’t get enough,” Skyler said, bending down to kiss my belly. I quickly looked around to make sure no one heard him, he had no filter no matter where we were. A foot kicked just where his mouth had been and I instinctively put my hand over it and smiled. “See! He agrees with daddy, mommy is hot stuff,” Skyler said, wiggling his eyebrows. Violet growled a
~Godfrey’s Point of View~ It was soon the day of Fiona’s trial and I was not taking any chances. While we said we were closing her trial to the public, that was just what we needed everyone to believe. We would have reinforcements. All Shadow witches and fairies were either in the room or in the room just off the back. The council damn well knew she was guilty, the evidence was overwhelming. But we had to beg the question, what exactly would be done with her? Luckily, warlock Ben had some ideas. Death was the obvious option but it was too good. In my rage, I had killed Kai. I should have stripped him of his powers and tortured him. There are far more reaching torture options at the ready and that’s where Quinn and Dina came in. I wasn’t sure how Ash would feel, werewolves don’t handle things with magic and are rightfully skeptical. They don’t fully understand how far reaching it is and how infinite the possibilities could be. Angel, being a witch herself, may find it hard to be
