1 kept my eyes straight ahead as Rowan and Vince stormed by. | felt someone's eyes hit me, but | pretended not
to notice. If it was Rowan, we will talk later. If it was Vince, | didn't want to meet his eyes.
Hanna leaned closer toand whispered, "What the hell was that?"
"I wish | knew. But something serious is going on." | kept my face blank and my voice low. | wanted to be open
and honest with her, but | barely knew her. And while | felt like I could trust her, to lay everything out for her, |
would need to be
sure.
"lI understand." Hanna gave a tiny nod and then we focused on the king walking on to the stage.
He was followed by three others and Vince. He was still pissed. | could see it in his face. His eyes were tight, and
even though he was wearing a smile, | could see the predator behind his mask. His wolf was close to the surface.

one thig to address today." Rowan raised his hands and waited until the murmurs died down. "Thank you." "What
the fuck happened today?" Someone from the crowd called out. The outrage was evident in their voice.
Rowan closed his eyes. "Okay. Let's deal with today first."
Others called out from the crowd. "If we were expelled, would we have gotten our tuition back?"
"Why were unranked wolves targeted?"
"Why do you hate us so much?" The last call was from a female and | watched it land like a punch. Rowan reeled
back and turned to glare at the others on stage.
"First, | would like to apologize for everything that happened today. Nothing that took place today was
sanctioned by me. | will step back and allow the ones who orchestrated it all to step up and answer your
questions." Rowan stepped back from the mic and then unleashed his aura. Even away from the microphone, we
all could hear him command the men on stage. "Step forward and answer their questions honestly. And hope
they have better temperaments than | do, as they will decide your fate."
The three men stepped forward and glared at us from the stage. | swear | could feel their eyes searching the
crowd for someone, and | knew without a doubt it
was me.
One of the crowd called out the first question again. "What the fuck happened today?"
One man stepped forward. He was still spry in his old age, but his back was bent slightly and his hair was
completely white. "Today we cfor an announcement."
"I don't care what you chere for. | want to know why you targeted unranked wolves for expulsion." The
angry voice called back.
The old man stiffened. "I don't-"
"| advise you to tell the truth, Yarow." Rowan growled. "Actually," Rowan turned and unleashed his full aura, it
was insane and everyone on stage dropped to the ground and whined. "I command you to tell the truth. If you do
not, your wolf will go into hibernation for five years."
The crowd gasped. Five years. That was an excruciating long tto be without your wolf after-spending a
lifettogether. No shifting, no talking, just silence. It's aid that a wolf can go insane in a year, and the human
within two. Rowan has condemned them to insanity and the death,
Yarrow pushed up from the ground once Rowan tucked his aura away. "You can't mean that, my king."

"But | do." Rowan looked to the crowd. "You are a part of my council and you are supposed to be fair and above
the maneuvering | seen here today. You failed, and now you three face the punishments. And don't for a second
think | believe it was just you plan." Rowan dropped into a crouch in front of him. "Now get the fuck up and
answer them. | will handle the rest when we get back."
The threat hung in the air until, one by one they stood, but no one answered the question. The three council
members remained silent, and Rowan chuckled. He searched the crowd forand as his eyes met mine; | saw
them flash a frosty blue color, almost white. He was losing control.
So | yelled out. "If they are unwilling to answer the questions and receive the punishment for their crimes, just
agree on capital punishment."

Rowan smirked as he stepped up to the microphone, but before he could say anything, Vince was next to him. "
Capital punishment?"
"Yes, going against the king is punishable by execution. Without trial." Vince's eyes met mine and | wanted to
smile, but | had a role to play.
