Chapter 81

Zeke made everyone sleep in the basement. He’d never thought he’d have to use it to hide from the Council, but he was glad that his paranoia about Shadow had made him reinforce that room. He didn’t know if it was strong enough to keep them out if they were determined to get Ava, but they hadn’t tried.

While his mate and his pack slept, he stayed up, trying to come up with a plan. Ava needed to become stronger to take care of herself if things w wrong for him. That meant he had to mark her as soon as possible and train with her as well

Mating with a human would weaken him, but it would give Ava the strength to survive.

Only if the mark didn’t kill her.

Which meant he had to go back to the library today and hope he hadn’t pissed the librarian off too much,

He left the house while the others were still sleeping and let Shadow take over. Usually, he could track anyone, but even with Shadow in control, he felt like he was running around in circles.

He couldn’t sense where the Council members were but knew they were still on campus. Their magic was everywhere. They were never so blatant with it, so they must have found out the truth yesterday and were just fucking with him. Were they coming for Ava or not?

He’d really wanted to ask Ava about what she had told them and what they had asked, but not in front of the others. He didn’t want to risk telling them anything that would make it harder for them to accept her as his mate.

He finally sensed the Council members. It was as if they had finally decided that he could find them. With his mental walls intact, he rushed to the administration building and saw them standing by the fountain, looking at the water. Iulia stood in the middle with her arms linked with the men’s

“Good morning, Mr Michelson, Julia said as he approached, without even turning back to see him. “I trust you slept well?”

Sleep! Very funny. Andrei chuckled beside her, but the demon wolf remained quiet.

“Good morning, ma’am,” he answered.

Yulia reached into the base of the fountain and ran a hand through the water. The silver in the oval ornament in the middle glowed briefly before he sensed a change in the air. He bad always known the fountain was significant, with its silver markings in an ancient language, but he still didn’t know the purpose of it. But now it seemed it had something to do with the Council’s magic. He would say as far away from it as possible.
