The Beast And The Blessed Chapter 76

Seventy-Six: Natalie

It was the other council members that should have been arriving any moment that had me biting my nails.

The worst of the best… that was how Joselin had described them, and it was a unanimous agreement between the Amery siblings and Joselin that there wasn’t a single pleasant member of the council.
