“If we continue with this fight, most of our council members will die… Including you.”
I watched his face as multiple emotions crossed it. I’d managed to get through to him but all was not over until he called off his men.
“STOP THEM!” He told me. “STOP THEM nOWWW!”
I tried to hide my smile as I focused all of my energy on everyone around me. I let out a scream and all of them were flung into the air in all different directions.
As all of the wolves as well as vampires tried to get on their feet again, we both turned to them.
“STAnD DOWn!” The prosecutor ordered before they could try to attack each other again. “We will no longer come between James and Eden. The fight is off.”
There were a lot of confused gazes sent in our direction, coupled with some angry glares from Hunter and his men.
I had no idea how the prosecutor was going to clean up that mess but he better move fast or we would lose Hunter.
…….
***EDEn***
I couldn’t believe this.
They’d called off the war?
I ran straight into James’s arms and held on tightly with tears streaming down my face. He wrapped his arms around me and lifted me up into the air before burying his face against my neck.
I lifted his face, cupping his cheeks in both hands. I smiled at him before kissing his forehead, his cheeks, his nose and stopped right above his lips.
“I love you … I love you so much.” I cried before kissing him softly.
He laughed against my lips and held me even closer. “I love you too Eden, my sweet mate.”
I felt happiness flow through my body at being able to hold him so closely against me and so openly in front of everyone.
We were finally able to be together. I couldn’t hide my happiness and joy. I didn’t think it was possible for James and I to ever be together. This was the biggest surprise and I was so grateful for our family and friends.
James pulled away as both of his brothers pulled him into an embrace. “We did it brother.” Austin said as Lucas grinned.
“I told you we could do it together.” Lucas said.
I could see the relief in their eyes at the outcome. They were both grateful that they still had their brother alive in front of them.
We’d all almost lost James. I still remember the feeling of seeing him bleeding and close to unconsciousness on the ground. I never wanted to feel like that ever again.
If I felt like that after seeing him so beaten, I have no idea what his family felt like. We were lucky to have him. It’s scary to think of what could have happened if we had been even a minute later than we’d been.
I shook that thought out of my head. We were all alive and that was all that mattered.
“Who informed the council of where you were?” Arthur asked as he approached us. “It wasn’t us, you are under our protection and we make sure to keep our word. And no one else would have known about this except your own people.”
I felt James stiffen next to me. He was definitely thinking what we all were.
“It was definitely your own people.” Hunter said with a smirk. “A woman from your pack. What was her name? Oh yes, I remember now … Clara.”
Clara?
I felt anger at his words.
Everyone turned towards the she-wolf. Her body was shaking as she looked at James with terrified eyes.
“Clara.” He said her name angrily. “Is it true what he’s saying?”
“A-alpha,” she stammered.
“IS IT TRUE?” James roared.
Her eyes widened at his tone. “I’m sorry.”
I knew I never liked that girl from the very beginning.
“You are hereby banished from my pack as well as our kingdom.” He told her. “If I ever see you again, you will wish you were dead.”
She looked around her for help from the rest of the pack but no one was willing to help her. She dropped her shoulders and left before he could threaten her again.
“Don’t be so happy.” The prosecutor interrupted our reunion. “I called off this fight but there is much to discuss. All of you must follow me back to the council, a few changes will be made that everyone must be aware of.”
We all stiffened at the prosecutor’s words, the tension back in the air.
