Single Mother of a Werewolf Baby

Chapter 119: The Council Meeting

After all the members were seated in their respective seats, the Heir Apparent, Prince Erevan Brontes Lychos, finally lifted his gaze to look at them. His eyes lingered on each council member for a brief moment. The throne room was tense, and a heavy silence filled every corner.

Finally, the silence was broken by the prince himself.

"Thank you for attending this meeting on such short notice. This matter is of great importance, and I appreciate the effort each of you has made in setting aside your personal duties to be here," his voice echoed through the throne room, steady and commanding.

Everyone listened quietly as he continued, "My father, Damon Brontes Lychos, the King of Werewolves... the one you have followed for decades... is presumed dead in the other world. His life crystal shattered yesterday."

He paused, giving them time to absorb the devastating news. As expected, a range of emotions crossed the faces of the council members.

Although many had suspected the purpose of this emergency meeting, especially when summoned without provocation or war, the confirmation still landed like a blow.

They had not seen their king for the past thirty years, but knowing he was alive had been a comfort. Now, the sudden news of his death created a hollow in their hearts... an unexpected sense of loss, as if a vital part of their identity had vanished.

Erevan knew better than to rush them. These were the companions his father had worked closely with, and Erevan himself held them in a measure of respect. It was they who had called him from the other world three decades ago, guiding him in leading the council and governing the werewolf society.
