Kalev’s POV
Everyone took their seat in the grand hall.
My mother, Petra, had called this emergency council meeting. Eying her across the table, she held her demure smile and sat with one graceful descent into her chair.
I knew what this was about. She was going to grill me about the blackout yesterday. It was unorthodox to pause the live feed of the games, even for half an hour. And now she was suspicious.
But I’d had no choice. Orrin had claimed Senna’s wolf as his mate. I had to go and see her. I had to see for myself.
“Thank you all for joining us on such short notice,” my mother said, smiling in turn to every council member. Viktor sat beside me.
“This better be quick,” he hissed. “We’re missing the games.”
My mother shot him a look to silence him. He slammed his mouth shut.
