I went to the office and was surprised to find Qusack and Abraham there. Grant wasn’t there as usual. He wasn’t an early bird and was late for everything, so there was no need to wonder about him.
“Good morning, Alpha,” Abraham greeted me, and Qusack did the same. I responded and sat on my chair.
Three envelopes were on my table; one came with the council’s seal. It was yet to be broken. “This arrived in the night,” Qusack said, pointing at the note from the council, and I lifted it up.
“By the way, terminate Gabriel’s work. He is slowing the workers down with his illness. I do not want him working as a mason anymore,” I told Qusack.
I made it seem as if I was irritated that Gabriel’s illness was slowing down the project. No one needed to know my soft spot for Aliana except for Qusack, and the look on his face said he figured it out because there was an ‘I-told-you- so’ expression on his face.
“Where should I put him?” Qusack asked me, and I shook my head.
“Nowhere he is old and sick. More of a liability than a help. Just put him on a weekly allowance to get by,” I ordered, and Qusack nodded.
“Have the doctor examine him. I can’t let him die on my watch. He understands this place better than any of us,” I said, and Abraham nodded in agreement.
The whole pretence was for Abraham’s benefit.
Qusack was the only person I trusted who would not judge my choice to be with a werewolf. I couldn’t say the same for others.
“I will ask Grant to handle it,” Qusack said, and Abraham volunteered immediately.
“Why?” I asked Abraham.
“He is Aliana’s father, and you know Grant won’t be careful. I will do it. She might be your mistress, but I doubt she could make you happy if anything happens to her father,” he said.
I nodded, feigning boredom at his words, but he had a point there, not the one I was trying to prove, but a good point nonetheless.
I opened the letter from the council, and it read.
“Alpha Nikolas Kowalski, we hereby summon you to the council tomorrow, the eighth day of August, to come and plead your coronation case. The meeting will be held at the palace in Ice Hill in Snow at three in the afternoon.
Our host will be King Frederick Semenov.
King Aleksander Zieliriska and others will also attend.
Kindly come with two of your officers, your nominees, to represent Forest in the council. As you are yet to be named King, you will also represent Forest on the committee.
Please bring all evidence to support your claim as the rightful heir of Forest through the Late King Mathias Kowalski. We look forward to seeing you.
Committee Leader Alpha Olsen Sadowski,”
It read, and I stood up immediately.
My heart was thumping in my chest. I looked at the clock, and it was seven in the morning. 1
I was glad I woke up early.
Snow was six hours away from Forest by road. We could make it for the meeting if we left in an hour.
“What is it?” Qusack asked me.
“We have been summoned to attend the committee meeting. It will commence three this afternoon in Fredrik’s palace in Ice Hill Snow. I have been ordered to bring two officers that would represent Forest on the committee and evidence to support my claim as the rightful heir,” I said, and Qusack widened his yes.
“That is sudden,” He said, and I nodded.
