CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR

Sal sat in the audience in shock. Dominik Jens dared to catch her eye, and she dropped her gaze, hoping he understood how much appreciation that conveyed. He smiled and turned to Rragri, then collected his things.

It's passed? Audgan asked.

He must have felt her shock through the link. Yes. I watched them sign it. It's law, but won't be in effect until the morning.

Blaec spoke up. I want all of you to bed down in the Conglomerate and wake up in Anglia. Ilija will have our tents prepared once the sun is down. Move silently. Sal?

Yes, sir?

We would be proud to serve as your bodyguards. You showing up in armor or a dress tomorrow?

She flooded the link with her love for them all. I would have no one else beside me. Jase, you're at my left, Blaec my right. Zep, you get my back.

Yes, Kaisae, the three men responded almost simultaneously.

And after dawn, I want to see nothing but blacks. I'll be in armor, my love. I have a set that is perfect for the occasion.

Blaec chuckled. I think we all do now.

Hwa? Sal asked.

Yes, my Kaisae?

Roo and the kids can't make a show, but I expect you to be there.

I would be nowhere else, Sal. I believe you will even like my uniform.

While she talked to her pack, the rest of the room was clearing. No one moved until the leaders of each nation had made their way out. After that, dozens of humans in the yellow checkers of Myrosica, a handful in Anglian green, and even a few sporting the blue of the Conglomerate mingled together as they waded toward the exits. There were none in the white and gold of Viraenova, but that wasn't surprising. They wouldn't need to see the chaos to receive the news. Like the Black Blades, it would travel through the link as fast as a thought.

Sal just waited. She didn't want to rub shoulders with humans. She also didn't want anyone to see the shocked set of her ears, and she wasn't sure it was something she could hide. This was happening. For her entire life, the idea of being free had been her greatest dream, and now it was becoming a reality.

It wasn't that she'd become the leader of her people. In all honesty, if Sal could pass that to someone else, she would - and gladly. What made her heart skip and her muscles tingle was the idea of truly owning her own life. No longer would a human be able to command her to do anything she didn't want. She'd never again be forced to submit against her will. No one else would have the power to kill her without facing the ramifications of that.

Those two simple lines gave her, and all iliri across the continent, the right to be treated like they mattered.

Sal stood and slipped through the doors, walking calmly back to the barracks. Outside, the compound looked no different than it had that morning. The awe running through her veins didn't make the sun any brighter.
