Chapter 13

Flustered, I pulled out my only weapon, unwilling to let a room full of people I admired know that I’d let my concentration drift off during such an important discussion. I lowered my lashes and lifted them, slowly, imitating Daniella, giving myself a few desperate seconds to try to place the question that had been asked of me.

My subconscious came to the rescue, proving some part of my brain had actually been listening after all.

I addressed Sylvie but let my gaze touch briefly on each person in the room as I’d seen Katherine do more than once and tried to sound intelligent. “Just before the plane crash,” I said in an even voice, even though the mere thought of the attempt on my life sent a chill up my spine. “Bash and I overheard a conversation between several young men of affluent families, led by Benson Wellington III. He was extremely vocal about his opinion of The Sisterhood as well as his grandfather’s hateful attitude towards the women who at that time had stepped forward in roles of authority.” I lifted a hand and gestured towards the screen. “His animosity was focused very much on you, Sylvie, and you, Katherine,” I added glancing at Katherine.

Ronan frowned. “Did he say anything specific? Reference any plan against The Sisterhood or our family?” He tapped his finger against his bottom lip and waited for an answer.

I thought back to that night, the clear sky and the way I’d felt after being with Bash. We’d felt the bond between us for the first time that night, really felt it, and we’d both been riding on the high of that connection. It’s what had driven us out onto the deck, to the hot tub and the promise of fun sexy times.

“Nothing specific,” I said slowly, chewing over my words as I replayed the scene again, not wanting to miss anything that might be important. “He spoke about his grandfather having a plan, too,” I lifted my fingers on either side of my head and made quotation signs, “make the bitches pay or something to that effect.”

Anthony shook his head and made a humming sound deep in his throat. “What do we know of the boy?”

Everyone looked at me expectantly.

“He’s an entitled snob who has major issues with authority figures in general and women in particular.” I remembered just how hard it had been for him to bend even in the wake of my Alpha voice, but bend he had. I knew everyone on this war council were in the know about my new fancy powers, so I explained, in detail, how he’d attacked me then reluctantly fallen into line once our side had pulled out the big guns. “He might’ve listened to me after all that, but I could see the endless hate in his eyes when he looked at me.”

“Do you think he is intelligent enough or strong enough to have gained his grandfather’s approval and confidence? Benson Wellington senior trusts very few people.
