I stood before over twenty Alphas, many of whom had frowns on their faces. I had to tell them the truth and try to make peace with them.
"Thank you all for coming. I am glad to see you all well.
I had gathered you here to address an issue, in which sof you had no clue about." I went ahead to inform them that there had indeed been a demon ruling in my place; I didn't go deep into that.

"I hear I am indebted to you?" "I was only being a loyal soldier." I smiled at that. "Thank you, Trent. And I will never forget this, I promise." "My pleasure, Alpha." He bowed before walking away.
Riley's hand circled around mine. Those fragile hands. I brought them to my lips and placed a kiss on her cold skin.

"What does the message say?" "She'll be getting married to Gabriel next week." "We will be there." I said to her, and she nodded, a smile on her face. She had the most beautiful smile.

"I want to show you something." She said, She checked to make sure we were alone, and then she... disappeared.

"Mom, you don't need to callthat." I said to her, "You might be my daughter, but you are still my queen." "You look beautiful." I complimented her, also an attempt to change the topic.
