Chapter 160
“Your grace, please take a seat.” One of the new faces, a man, spoke and stood up, he gestured to a single chair
sat directly opposite the long table of people. “We have much to discuss,”
I took my seat in front of the small audience and waited for them to begin. Both Lewis and Elias also quickly took
a seat at the table too and instantly | felt every single set of eyes turn to me. It was almost as if | was about to
be interrogated, however the conversation quickly turned to V.
“V, the van is too damaged to send back across the borders, we need a new way to ensure our safety.” One of

something and no one else seemed to be having any ideas.
“We have other vans, we could always just send one of them out, with someone who matches the drivers
description.” Lewis suggested but that wouldn't work, because every ta border was crossed the license plate
was taken down to
monitor comings and goings.
“You'll have to swap the license plates over. On the entry into this sector, the plate was taken. If it’s not the
sthat crosses again then suspicion will only rise.” | stated to the room who in turn went incredibly silent.
Was | not supposed to say anything? | just assumed it was an open discussion.
“We wouldn't even have to worry about any of this if you weren't here.” One of the women stated as she
sneered at me. | knew | wasn’t welcby everyone.
“We should just kill her, if she does the king will dig too.” Again with that stupid idea? | couldn't believe this was
the rebellion that was so revered by humans and feared by the lycans. So far since arriving the only thing they
have done was get rid of my restraints and then threaten me.

“No one will lay a finger on her.” Lewis growled out, his eyes flashing slightly with the dominance of his wolf. It
nice to see he was still sticking up fordespite it being my fault he lost his friend. Still, | knew | couldn't rely
on him to fight my battles forever, and so instead | stood up, everyone in front ofallowed their heads to turn

getting so frustrated with these people, So concerned over their own well-being that they didn’t care about

“His grace will promise you the world and the second you handover, he'd kill you in a heartbeat.” | sighed
standing up and walking to the entrance of the tent and leaning against one of the bars holding it up, my sight
firmly on the open view outside. “And, if you think for one second the king will feel anything because of my

greenery outside back to the audience of new people. “Look, If you genuinely think he’ll die when he’s

| couldn’t believe | even had to state that. | could tell what | had entered and it wasn’t equality, it was kill or be
