And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

Chapter 79: Rise of a Luna

Damian POV

I should have known that coming here was going to be a problem. That they were so adamant about us bringing Ivy it should have thrown a red flag, and I should have resisted. She was still in a fragile place, and far more unpredictable than I liked.

So the moment she walked off down the hall, I couldn’t take my eyes off her, and neither could my brothers. What if this was the last time we saw her?

‘I will kill them all if they touch her,” Talon says to the rest of us through our link.

‘Ditto,’ Hale and James replied.

I knew they would keep to their word as well. They would rip everyone apart, and the twins losing themselves wouldn’t be good. No one knew what they were. Not even Allison knew the exact truth.

It was something we tried to hide as much as we could. No matter how much she tried to pry into our personal lives.

Just keep a level head. She will be fine.’

My reply to them was forced. I wasn’t sure she would be alright at all. However, as the doors to the council room opened, it was clear that this meeting was anything but nice.

Walking in with my brothers at my side, I watched the elder men sitting ahead of us in their high placed brown seating. Guards lining the walls in the room, and a sense of hostility floating through the air.

I should have been worried, but staring at the elder who came to my house, I wasn’t.

“Afternoon, gentleman. Shall we begin?” My response to them was one an Alpha would give. I found the best approach was to remain stoic, but through it all, I wasn’t sure if they would react well.

“Damian. You and your brothers are brought before this court because you are accused of not properly running your back, and bringing light to humans about our kind. It’s known that there are rumors of false claims to the Luna position by someone who isn’t even your mate, but, instead, a human falsely claimed.”

Shock and anger flowed through me at his words. Was this really what Allison was telling them? “That’s all false.”

The main elder Sir Edgar looked up at me from his papers and raised a brow. “Is it?”

“Yes, it is. I’m not sure who is telling you these things, but all of it is lies.” I replied, seething. I could feel my brothers also in anger, but they knew better than to say anything. Considering I was Alpha, I needed to address the issues.

“Bring forth the witnesses,” Edgar replied as a side door opened, bringing forth Ivy’s father, Zane, and Allison, my godmother.

“What the hell are they doing here?” I asked Edgar, with confusion. This meeting was supposed to be about private matters, and to have Allison and Zane here in a private meeting was not protocol.

“They are witnesses for the trial. They have a place here.” Edgar replied with a smirk.

“Trial?!” | exclaimed as my brothers growled. “What trial? This is supposed to be a private meeting to discuss issues, not a trial.”

“Unfortunately, you were told wrong. You’re on trial, Damian, and if you and your brothers don’t get yourselves together, you will be put down.”

The way he said put down sounded like he was addressing a dog at the pound. Even though this could be the equivalent. “This is bullshit, Ed. I did nothing wrong.”
