Clearing her throat, she blinked rapidly. “That sounds like a favor to me, Yunez. Not to you.”
He bowed his head. “Regardless, I would do this. I would see our people safe and save a mother the hard task of condemning her son.”
She closed her eyes, shudders racking her body. “I consent.”
“What? No! I have supporters! I have men who follow me!” He screamed, kicking and punching until our Mannos subdued him with pathetic ease.
“Then consider this the favor Aamori, give Travon to this man.” Aamori gasped.
“He’s one of the leaders in my Iron Guard.”
“He’s guilty,” Yunez returned. “I have seen his misdeeds and guilt with the sight, as I’m sure most Mannos or Zien members with the sight in this room can attest to. If you need proof, we are happy to stand in testimony. You need only ask.”
Aamori glanced around the room, searching for any nay sayers. At least, that was what I thought she was doing.
“Is there anyone here that would stand witness for Travon?”
No one spoke. The equivalent of Fennin crickets.
“Aamori,” I spoke up. “I have had visions of Travon, before this day, and involving that man.” I nodded toward the platform. “Travon is not a good man. He has exploited his power and tore this man away from his home as a young child. He is guilty.”
Murmurs of assent rumbled through the people.
“Very well then. Guards! Find Travon and deliver him to this man.” Several men and one woman snapped to attention. As they left to search for Travon, Brody walked over to me, caution filling every inch of his body.
He glanced hesitantly at my LL then back at me. “A moment, Isolde?”
Egan growled and Sage sneered. My other mates, they looked on with mild curiosity.
I nodded, but I made no move to leave with him. Whatever he needed to say, he could say it here, with my men.
“I’m sorry. I just want you to know, I’m sorry.” He started to turn away but I caught his forearm.
“Brody,” I said, and waited for him to turn back. “You have nothing to be sorry for. I hope you find happiness.”
He dropped his gaze and nodded, then he walked toward Shadow and an unconscious Travon on the platform. The Waesaris had lost its power and Shadow wasted no time to fire it up again.
Then in a blink, they were gone.
I glanced around at the confused faces of almost everyone. The only one who wasn’t confused was Yunez. He had a soft smirk on his face, as if all was right in the world.
If he was good, I was good.
Because really, who was I to question his super squirrelly old man ways?
EPILOGUE
“Not excitedto take part in the new council?” Wade sat down next to me on the bench.
I was mid process of tearing up a blade of grass, and now that I wasn’t alone, it felt silly. “No. Actually, that’s a hell no.” I glanced over at the Levan member who had become something of an uncle to me over the last couple months.
“That will be hard when Yunez has offered up his home for meetings and resides as head of the council.” He smirked.
I frowned.
“You were wrong, you know,” I said, happy to change to the subject. Although this wasn’t a much better topic.
“How so?”
