Is a mistake from the Moon Goddess 221

Chapter 221

We pulled into the super store parking lot and hopped out. But Jora just kept talking. "The council then tried to argue that it would be unnecessary for him to be that involved in the process so that every girl has the same starting point, but the king disagreed. He turned on them. Clair sent me a video." We were walking in to the store when Jora handed me his phone. He clicked the play button and Toya and Wendy crowded my back to watch.

Rowan was just turned to face the mob of men behind him, and you could tell he was agitated. “What do you mean, I shouldn't be involved in the selection? It's my fucking mate we are choosing here." Clair had to adjust her body, I am assuming, to keep the phone hidden. "Why should I let you all choose my mate without any of my input? Did you think I was just going to fall in line? Did you assume I would just accept any woman you choose that is under your thumb and happily make her my queen?" Rowan turned and walked away from the trembling men. You could tell they were pissed that he wasn't falling in line.

"You can't do this." One councilman screamed and Rowan turned.

"You keep forgetting this is my life. I am king. You are just my council and I am really getting fucking tired of you trying to control everything I do. It is not your job to control me, it is your job to council me and the fact that you all keep pushing the envelope is making me really question if you are still necessary."

A stillness settled over the group of men. "What are you saying?" I could hear the threat in the words.

"I'm saying you were put in place in case the worst happened to my father when I was too young to figure things out. And it did. The worst happened. My father passed away and I was left alone with you guiding me..

But..."

"But what?""One of them stepped forward, and Rowan's eyes tightened.

"But I am no longer a pup confused about how to rule my kingdom." Rowan turned and left them speechless. The video cut off, and we were stuck there wondering what we just watched.
