Julian’s POV
I knew that arguing with the enforcer wouldn’t do any good, and frankly the enforcer looked nervous as hell about it. He picked the wrong side to defend here, I could tell him that, but I didn’t think it would change anything. Even if I turned this one to my cause, another would soon take his place.
The people I needed to confront were the council themselves, the ones who authorized and ordered
this.
As much as I wanted to see my mom, for now, I had to trust that at least the healers inside would have my mom’s best interest at heart. The head healer knew Tony was responsible, and would hopefully do his best, even with the change of rules here, to keep her safe.
This did add even more urgency to our need to take over the pack.
This wasn’t something I wanted to drag Amber and Alice into though. They were here for me, but taking them into the council’s meeting room felt like exposing them to a den of lions. I had promised to protect them, so for that purpose, I directed my driver to take us home first, so that Alice and Amber could barricade themselves inside.
“I don’t like the idea of leaving you alone to face this,” Amber said, holding my hand as we pulled into the driveway.
“You aren’t leaving me alone,” I promised her. “You are doing the right thing by staying here and keeping our daughter protected and safe. I won’t be able to face this if I know you and Alice are vulnerable. Please, for my sake if not your own, go into the house, but don’t answer the door for anyone but me, alright p>
I’d already called my staff on the way over. They knew the same rules. Most of the staff had been relieved for the day, leaving behind only those I trusted most.
Here, Amber and Alice should be protected.
“Call me the minute you can,” Amber said. “I will worry until I hear from you, and then probably
even after p>
“I promise,” I said and kissed her.
Then, as the car came to a stop, I walked her and Alice to the door, just to make sure they were secure. Then, I turned around and walked back to the car.
“To the Alpha Headquarters building,” I told the driver.
I was antsy the entire way there, bouncing my knee as I tried to relax, to think about what I might say

to them.
Tony had clearly made deals in my absence. I could only hope most of the council would still take my
side.
It was looking more and more dire though.
When we arrived, I exited the car and walked into the building. My Beta was waiting for me just inside the door. “They are meeting right now, Alpha p>
I allowed him to lead the way, though I already knew it. He seemed even more anxious than me.
“They stopped listening to me,” he said. “They wouldn’t even accept my calls or missives anymore p>
“Has Tony been around here lately?” I asked.
“Too much,” my Beta said. “And I’ve seen him eyeing your office p>
This couldn’t be tolerated.
When we reached the door to the council meeting room, my beta stepped to the side, allowing me to
do what I will.
I didn’t even bother to see if the door was locked. Instead, I kicked it open. The door swung wide, smacking onto the interior wall.
Whatever was being discussed within totally stopped. Every eye in the room turned to me.
Looking around, I was pleased to see that Tony wasn’t in the room right now. At least, I might have a chance to convince the council to do the right thing.
Unfortunately, I was so enraged seeing them, that the first thing out of my mouth was an accusation.
