Chapter 35
âSo, has she rejected you?â
Zeke glanced sideways at the Alpha walking beside him and then back at the pavement. He felt juiced up on Mr Patrickâs magic and didnât want to say anything wrong, but he had no idea why Alpha Diego had offered to get him for his meeting.
He didnât respond.
âI mean, I was sure she was going to rip you apart,â Alpha Diego continued. âHow did you manage to mate her in the first place? Was it because she hadnât shifted yet?â
His fists clenched, but again, he said nothing.
âDo you think the mark will start to fade now?â
Zeke started to walk a little faster even though where they were going was a lot worse than enduring this mind fuck. He knew there was no chance of the bond being broken because Ava was his true mate, but what if...
âThis is why Iâve never marked anyone,â Alpha Diego continued, keeping up with him easily.
The councillor talked to him as if they were friends instead of a prison guard and prisoner.
âWolves like you, me and Ava were not meant to have mates,â he continued. âOur fates donât allow it.â
âAnd what is my fate?â he asked as they approached the Administration building.
âI guess that depends on you. I hope you make the right choice, kid.â
His steps slowed as he glanced at the councillor again with a frown. He wasnât imagining this. He didnât sense any threat or lies from the Alpha like he was indeed being friendly. But he knew that was impossible. Alpha Diego probably felt they had made their point; the next move was his.
âAnd what would the right choice be?â
âAnything that keeps you alive.â
He was going to ask more questions when he sensed Ava approaching. He turned back and saw the other two councillors approaching him and his mate following like a lost lamb.
He didnât sense any fear even though she was walking with two of the strongest people at this school. Mr Patrickâs protection was working, but hopefully not too well. He didnât want to make Mr Hansson suspicious.
âAh, there you are,â Iulia said with a smile.
âOne big happy family,â Andrei added.
Something was not right with this picture. The Council didnât treat any of its soldiers like this, which meant whatever decision they had to make was not what they were expecting. He looked back at Ava, and she shrugged.
âShall we go in?â Alpha Diego said.
Andrei gestured for Ava to walk past them, and when she did, he and Iulia shared a look he couldnât decipher. It was a quick one, but it made him worry.
He turned to walk with Ava up the steps of the building, and the guards opened the door. He looked back at the councillors. Inside the building, they were not holding hands, and their smiles were gone. It was back to business as usual.
When the next set of guards opened the doors to the inner offices, he felt the sickly magic from the Head of the Council hit him in the face.
