Chapter 306: I Still Miss My Ex

Elder Rollins’s shoulders stiffened, and he looked at Dominic with an air of someone who was preparing for a long fight. Rolling his shoulders, he said to Dominic, "And what do you mean by those words?"

"You know what I mean; in fact, every single one of you knows what I am trying to say here." Dominic had been a member of the council for a very long time. Long enough to understand how to find his way in this labyrinth-like hierarchy. However, at that very moment, he just couldn’t summon the energy to lower his head, tell the man to fuck off in his head and go on his merry way. "There were signs of shifters breaking into the town next to Mistvile. Enough evidence proves that the intruders who entered the town were shifters—shifters who could drink and suck blood—"

There was a loud, ricocheting bang in the conference room as Elder Pierson banged his fist on the table. He glared at Dominic and stated, "What a nonsensical theory. Do you even believe what you are saying? Shifters who can suck blood? There has been no evidence to prove that such a thing could even happen. You want us to believe such a twisted story? Come on, Alpha Cherith. You can do better than that."

The man rolled his eyes to assert his stance, but Dominic could see that flickering eyes of the man. So he was either lying or trying to avoid facing the truth, and given how much he knew these elders, Dominic knew that there was a very good chance it was both. He closed his eyes and sucked in another breath before saying, "I have nothing to say if this is your stance, Elder Pierson."

Slowly getting to his feet, he glanced at the faces of the stubborn old men. Now he knew why Killian would rather take on the title of a reckless, frustrating and infuriating alpha who would never understand the severity of his position rather than coming to these stupid meetings. Because he too wished he could do the same at that very moment. He exhaled deeply before pivoting on the spot and said to the rest of the elders, "I cannot continue with this investigation. Since you believe that I am on the wrong trail, then you can look for someone who will lead you to the right one. I believe that you have many to help you with that."

He then stormed out of the conference room without saying anything else to the elders. Tao, hot on his heels, chased after him. He said in a hurry, "The elders will not like it. They will certainly see this as an act of rebellion."

"Then they might as well start doing that," Dominic gritted out. His teeth were clenched so tightly that he could hear them grind. "I have done everything to make them see the truth, but they want to bury their heads under the sand and ignore the warnings that I am giving them. Since that is the case, then they might as well look for someone who will continue giving them false security."

Tao stared at him.
