“Thank you for coming forward, so we can find mates again,” the shifter elder says.
She sounds truly grateful and clearly excited about the possibility.
“You should know the whole council was not in agreement that the races should mix,” the dark fae elder says arrogantly, looking pointedly at Kiran and Jax.
I can feel their anger, most likely thinking about what their parents went through.
“But, it was undeniable what we saw in your memories. We were able to confirm four of your eyes changing, and we could deduce Jay’s from his wolf surging forward like it did, even if no one actually saw. We didn’t need to see all of yours once we had the needed information,” Monit says.
The guys are furious. I know we all hate them for the test they put us through, mostly me. I’m not sure there will be forgiveness any time soon.
“So, can we expect your help to convince the hunters of this truth?” Nic asks. He sounds so strong and confident, standing there with his shoulders back. Like there was never a doubt we were telling the truth.
“Yes,” Monit responds. His attitude has flipped. I guess he really just needed to know we were telling the truth before he sided with us.
I feel relief surge through our mate bond and my legs almost give out again. We have help, this is going to be over soon.
“We must spread word about this revelation. For our people and so the hunters start feeling doubt before they are confronted,” the demon elder says.
“Are we sure we want to include the hunters? If our races start mixing on their own, surely they will find more mates. They are our enemies,” Kia the light fae elder says.
She’s not malicious, only cautious but it hurts all the same.
Before one of us can speak up, Eve does.
“They won’t be our enemies if we are intermingled, this is a way to find peace!”
“Plus, their women outnumber ours, it is very likely that they are the missing piece. The reason bonds have not been randomly found on their own,” Roner the demon elder says.
Yes! Go Roner and Eve! I’m so glad they realized that on their own. It gives it more validity.
“This is true. We must include the hunters,” Monit says.
Kia nods like this is acceptable reasoning but Joka is still sitting there in silence, brooding.
“Then it is decided, we shall spread the news,” Roner says.
Nic speaks up, “it could be dangerous for us if our names are included. Would the council be willing to leave us anonymous? We have been through so much already.”
Roner and Kia look put out by this request. I’m sure they were hoping to spread our identities far and wide as proof. Eve and Monit look understanding so hopefully they advocate for us.
“I think that is acceptable. You have done a great service to us by coming forward, we will respect your wishes,” Eve announces.
They start talking about how best to approach the hunters, and we leave them to it. I know they have years more experience when it comes to this type of thing.
Once they have the beginnings of a plan, they turn their attention back to us.
“You will be summoned when it is time. Do not expect it to take long,” Roner announces.
“There is one more thing,” Nic says. When they don’t respond he forges ahead, “a three thousand year old vampire who goes by Ryan is after us because of our bond. We were hoping the council could help in our hunt for him.”
We could really use their help here.
They share a look before returning their attention to us.
“We will take over the hunt. He is very dangerous, you are not to go after him,” Monit declares and I can tell his word is final.
There is no use arguing for our own vengeance. At least he will be taken care of.
