Chapter 222 You are Wrong

The murmurs in the council chamber had faded to an almost deafening silence as Ann and Lexi made their way to their allotted seats at the front of the room.

Although the Elders wouldn’t have noticed, as Ann took her seat, she picked up the minute details in Lexi’s body language that showed just how uncomfortable she was in this position, but she hid it well.

To the casual observer, she would still appear as the fiery and opinionated half-Daemon that people had heard so many whispers about lately.

“Thank you all for coming.” Ann’s voice cut across the chamber, echoing loudly above their heads. “It’s not as if we had much choice, your grace. If you could give us a little more notice…”

“Oh, it’s notice you want?” Ann smiled serenely although her eyes flashed with a dangerous light as Maeve simmered below the surface, “Perhaps if you had cleared the Rogues at the first instance then meetings wouldn’t have to be called so abruptly.”

The rustle of cloaks could be heard and awkward muttered apologies as they cleared their throats and waited for

Ann to continue.
