Chapter 313 Goodbye ASHER It had been a while since Cassandra entered the building, and with every passing minute, my nervousness and anxiety grew stronger. While I knew she was capable of handling herself, I didn’t like the idea of her being in the House of Moses without me.

I began to feel restless. It was a mistake to let her leave with Adalyn alone.

I pondered my options for a minute and then decided I couldn’t wait out on the grounds any longer, not when my mate could be in danger. I started to walk toward the building, but before I could get too far, the soldiers guarding us stopped me.

At first, they were polite but quickly, they became rude. They shouted and told me to back up. I wasn’t allowed in; not until Lady Adalyn said so.

I considered pushing past them but didn’t want to escalate the situation, so I nodded and retreated ever so slightly.

All around me, the councilors grew restless. They too, wanted to leave, only they desired to go back to Merliscire. However, when a group of them tried to turn around and go back in the direction we came from the soldiers stepped in and wouldn't allow them to leave.

The councilors and soldiers argued and that soon escalated to physical blows.

Shoving commenced and then angry cries. The soldiers were armed but no one wanted to accept defeat, myself included.

“Ineed to get inside,” I declared again.

The leading soldier showed his gun and bared his teeth at me. “No one can enter without Lord or Lady Moses’ command. Step aside.” Karsh was indignant upon hearing his words. His face reddened and his eyes flashed.

“How dare you go against the king?” he demanded. “Is your lord planning an usurpation?” The leading soldier’s lips drew into a thin line and he rolled his dark eyes. “I serve the Lords of Moses alone and report to them directly. If the king wants something, he needs to speak directly to Lord or Lady Moses.” “You're nothing more than a dog of

Moses,” Karsh murmured. “A pathetic, disloyal mutt.” The soldier was vexed at once. He place his gun against Karsh’s forehead with no hesitation and the soldiers behind him raised their guns as well. Despite the threat, Karsh snarled and bared his fangs to the soldier. Some of the other, younger councilors snarled with him, and as their growls filled the air, it seemed like a fight was about to break out, one that would end in bloodshed.

Suddenly, noise broke out all around us. It sounded like footsteps, the steps of a lot of people. Perhaps a troop.

The soldiers seemed surprised and agitated by this influx of noise. They gripped their weapons in their hands and glanced around before fixing their
