CHAPTER 11

“I am very honored, Justice, Illan, that you would all invite me to be a part of your supernatural council, but I’m not a paranormal,” Wade said as he sat on the couch in Justice’s office in town hall.

Justice sat in a chair next to Illan, with the other council members gathered around. “That is why we want you, Wade. We have all talked about it and think it would be a good idea if we have a human on the council to represent your kind,” Illan answered.

“I think it sounds like a great idea, but I’m sure there’s someone more qualified than I am,” Wade responded in his husky, sandpapery voice.

“We disagree. As we thought about all the humans we know, your name kept coming up as the one with the most honor and trust. The people of Crystal like you, Wade. Not only do they like you, they trust and respect you. I have known you your whole life and you have always been a good man. A fair man who cares about others and that’s what we strive for on the council. I know you would never use the council for your own gain and will represent the humans with what is best for them,” Justice said.

“I think it's a great opportunity and I must agree that out of everyone in Crystal, as much as I like most, I can’t see anyone but maybe my brother Rory filling that role the way you described. We all know money and power go to most people’s heads whether they be human, shifter, or other paranormal. I would really like to think about it for a few days if that’s okay with all of you?”

“Of course, it is, Wade. Honestly, we would think something was wrong with you and be nervous inviting you to join us if you just jumped at the chance,” Destrain replied.

Wade chuckled and the deep sound vibrated through the room. “It’s not that I am not honored, or even interested, but I have so much going on in my life, I'm not sure I would have the proper time to commit to the council that I think it would deserve. Especially for my people.”

“We can work around your schedule. Yes, there are times things happen in this world where action needs to be take quickly, but most of the time we can take care of things by phone. And if you're ever needed but can’t make it, you can send your second in to represent you as your voice,” Ezra said.

“My second?” Wade asked, his face showing his curiosity.

“We each have a second who knows everything that is going on within the council in case one of us is incapacitated or unable to perform their duties. With what we're dealing with in Fallon’s case, any one of us could be killed at any second. So, to ensure continuity of the council our seconds would step in. In my case it would be Day, seeing as he is next in line to take over as dragon leader.
