Stephanie was into the Croquet game we were watching, and I wished Avery and Linda had followed us, but they wanted to

remain in our official booth for reasons best

known to them.

Dominic had stylishly joined us, but we did not need to guess why he was with us and not with his brother. Katya seemed utterly enthralled by him, and he wasn’t different. It was so deep that Stephanie and I left the booth, and they did not notice.

“I want some sweet pop corn,” Stephanie said, and my mouth began to salivate.

“That would be yummy,” I said, stopping at a cotton candy stall. I helped myself to the strawberry-flavoured variation, and the vendor refused to take my money.

He treated me with respect, and my heart fluttered.

“Have you heard about the new move by the sneaky council?” Stephanie asked me, taking a bit of my candy and grimacing at the level of sweetness.

“What move?” I asked her, feeling happy.

William had called me and told me he was rounding the people up and taking them to the warehouse. I was too eager because the meeting would be in two days.

“Some alphas raised a petition, and many people have signed it. They are trying to dissolve the lordship,” she said, and I

wondered why she would say it was the

council members. Clearly, the alphas did it of their own volition.

“Why would you think the council is behind this?” I asked her, and she scrunched her

nose.

She had gotten some candy on her nose, but her warm, slightly sweaty skin had melted it.

“The petition puts the council in charge of everything while each region would have a council of alphas led by a governor, similar to what you practice in the east,” she said.

We found a bench to sit on.

Stephanie called on to a child and handed him money to buy us popcorn and something for himself.

The moment the boy left, she leaned against the backrest and looked ahead with a frown folding her arms.

“The Volkovs were royalty before it became a lordship.

This council was formed because of the tyranny of Maurice’s forefather, Eddard. It was an excellent way to keep the royal bloodline in check.

The council helped the lord remain on

course and fought for people’s rights.

They helped to question the lord and make

sure he was fair to the people, but the lord was still like a king.

He owns and rules everything.
