Forty-Nine: Joselin
Joselin's P.O.V.
"Technically, it's my council.” I joked, not bothering to get up. We were alone, and there was no need to be formal with him. He knew I was trying to lighten the mood. I led the council, but we all worked for him.
"Joselin," Killian snapped, his sense of humor gone as he stepped forward. He grabbed a chair and pulled it over until he was sitting only a few feet away, his glare on me and his elbows on his knees. I had seen this face many-a-times. It was his disapproving older brother face, which he
normally only used to pressure me or Charlie to spill a secret.
His hands were clasped in front of him, and he leaned forward. He had to have known that I didn't feel good right now. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm.
"Full name, that's not good," I muttered, regretting my workout. The longer I sat on the overstuffed couch, the more tired I became. My body wanted to shut down for the next few days to recover.
His black hair had one bright silver strand amongst the mass, and I made a note to hold that over him in the future.
Killian let out an exhausted sigh of "Josie" just as Natalie squeezed my forearm. He wanted me to go to him with this issue when he was already inundated with work and was now trying to balance a baby-crazy mate with an insane sexual appetite.
Even then, I was still frustrated with him because I had tried to talk to him. He was the first person I had gone to besides Tobias.
"Don't, Josie, me," I said softly, mimicking his sigh of my name. "I am fine. As soon as she comes back, I will be dealing with her. If I can't put her through a trial, I can challenge her to a duel."
I had been putting off the option for so long because it almost always ended with collateral damage. Magic of the proportion was dangerous. One slip and it could do flying. Innocents miles away would get hit by the blasts. Hell, there were giant craters on the Earth that humans would travel to see, caused by two witches fighting it out.
In addition, if I lost, it would put the kingdom in a terrible position. The council would be down by half, and Killian would have to choose a new Royal Advisor.
"I don't think it needs to come to that," Killian said, his eyebrows raised. How he looked at me screamed that he didn't think I was up for it.
He might have been right, but I would rather go down fighting than wither away.
didn't you tell me what was going on? This is crucial information.” His body tensed as he sat up, his hands clenching into fists on the armrests. Killian always had a bit of a temper. He had kept his emotions locked away for a long time until Natalie showed up, but he was still finding the balance between
