"The council is here," one of the maids informed us.
After last night, everybody went to our rooms while I stayed in Emmet's. When I woke up, I was told the council was coming, so we were now dressed to face them. I had a bad feeling that the encounter would be wild and frightening.
As soon as I entered the living room, where everyone was already gathered, including Azura and Kesha, who hated me, and even Kesha's uncle and father, I felt all eyes on me. My mates stood beside me, they had walked in with me.
"So, you're a mermaid," Vonston asked as he stood up. He hadn't been there the night I transformed. "And you're also the daughter of Soren Vaughn," he added, and I nodded. I could tell Darcy wasn't happy that the man wasn't calling for my execution right away.
