The Werewolf's Vampire Mate - Chapter 596 - Treason
Chapter 596 – Treason
Rex
She is quick to come to the stage but this time, she is back in her mask. Back as the person that she really isn't.
Badger.
The man that she murdered for her own satisfaction. The man I love came from this woman. He is nothing like her. He will never be like her. I don't even know what he is going through knowing that this is his mother. This must be painful for him. She has hurt him, time and time again. She keeps hurting her child and I can't even understand it.
"I am sure you are all wondering why I called this meeting this early in the morning,'' she shouts to the crowd. There is a smile on her face. This is nothing but enjoyable to her. I can't stop looking at my mates and the suffering that they are going through.
The fact that she is so happy just lets me know that she doesn't know about the mausoleum. She doesn't know what we did which in turn is a good thing.
The people in the crowd start to murmur. Some are confused, others are in the loop from the things I hear. Some people must support her. I mean that is why they have stayed in this place for so long. That is why she thinks she has the upper hand.
"You all see the people I have up here,'' she gestures with her hands towards my mates. I hold my breath in my lungs. My heart is racing uncontrollably from the fear of what she might do or say next. "You all witnessed the dinner I held for our late chief's son. You all saw how welcoming I tried to be,'' she adds calmly.
These are all lies but they must think she is such a saint.
Hell, she is not even who she really is so how can they even see her. How can they believe anyone but her right now? these people are supposed to have magic. they are supposed to be able to see when someone is lying but she has kept them out of the loop for so long that they will see whatever she wants them to see.
"Blue will never be one of us. The fact that he has the Lycan blood inside him will never give him the chance to fully experience his magic side. He will never accept us for as long as he is alive.''
More people start to murmur. I know they can already tell what is about to happen. She is making it obvious. Clearly, she wants him dead and this is her way to execute him in front of everyone.
How can someone even want to do this to her child?
It makes no sense to me.
I don't know what they are thinking but I have never seen the crowd react like this before. the murmuring gets louder and this should be the part where they object to what she is saying.
Death should be the last thing.
I look at my mates on the stage. My heart is out there with them. I want to just reach out and take them from this hell that they are subjected to.
"They don't belong in the coven. Killing him is not the answer,'' someone finally speaks up.
I turn to the person and I am not the only person that is looking at the person responsible for that comment. A man, who looks to be in his thirties. I wouldn't know who he is. My eyes meet Darrien's. He looks at me and nods his head. We don't have to focus on what is going on right now because we have a plan.
"So, what do you suggest I do. I am sure you were present at the dinner I held for him last night?''
The man nods his head "We banish him from he coven. Make sure he is never allowed back here again."
There is still a smile on her face. this is all exciting to her. She likes the attention. the control.
"He is not what he seems. He is here to destroy us and we will be the ones to suffer if we let him go."
This is all exciting to them all. Having someone's life in your hands.
My eyes stay on Darrien because I need to know when we are going to end this party. he is supposed to signal me and then we come out one by one. The people that know the truth. the people that are against Analise and her reign.
"We have no other choice but to kill him. you all witnessed him attack me. He tried to kill me but he was no match for me. He is weak and weak people do not survive in the coven. Eliminating him is the best thing to do. We can't take the risk of him coming back, I won't give him the chance to do that.''
"Then lock him up, keep him in the cells. Killing him is savagery and we are not savages."
The same man speaks up, this time louder than the first time. I don't know who he is but it seems like he is on our side. We need more people like him on our side. We need as many people as we can get.
"I need to teach him a lesson and any other people that think they can act anyway and get away with it,'' Analise shouts back to the man.
He looks around the crowd, I can see him searching for others to back him up but like I said before, the people here are cowards. No one wants to stand up to her. They are scared of the power that Badger—or rather Analise holds and they are not willing to be part of that fight.
"Where are the elders in this decision. We need to hear from them.''
Badger walks over to the voice. I watch him as he gets off the stage and walks over the three steps until he is in front of the man. He smiles evilly as he stares at him intensely.
"You seem to be on their side. Are you for the coven or against it?'' he asks calmly.
He is basically saying that because the man has his own opinion, he is against the coven.
"I am for the coven,'' the man answers just as coldly as Badger. There is no fear in his eyes. He is not afraid to stand up for himself.
"Then all you have to do is pay attention. There is no questioning what is going to happen. This is a lesson for everyone. Anyone that has anything to say will be considered an enemy. Are you an enemy?''
The man shakes his head.
"Good, now learn a thing or to from this.''
I look up at Darrien and he nods his head just as Badger climbs up the little stairs to the stage "This is a lesson for you all. Watch and take note. The punishment for treason is death."
My eyes move to Major and he smiles slowly "Show us who you really are?'' he speaks loudly so suddenly that everyone in the crowd starts to look for the voice.
I watch him as he disperses from the crowd away from me until he is in front of the crowd.
Badger opens his eyes in shock and I see the look in his eyes.
Okay, I guess this is it.
