CHAPTER 68
As soon as we approached the large doors there were two men standing on the outside who opened the doors for us and we were let inside.
The room that we walked into was just as impressive.
It was a lot larger than I thought it would be and it had massive columns down the room that led to four large chairs that looked like thrones at the front of the room.
There was a person sitting in each of the chairs and they were all looking at Wesley and myself with just as much intrigue as I was showing towards them.
We walked up the room, across the marble floors, and we stopped a couple of feet in front of them to where they had set out two chairs for us.
Wesley and I sat in those chairs and I tried really hard not to fidget in front of them. I tried to keep my composure and not let them know that I was worried about today.
“Well. Nova, this is the werewolf Elias, the vampire Lincoln, the fae Nicole and the witch Celine.” Wesley introduced me.
“It’s nice to finally meet you.” I said.
“Have you heard of us?” Elias asked.
“Everyone had heard of the supernatural council. But it was just all talk. I don’t know anything about you.” I said.
“Good. That’s the way we like to keep it.” Lincoln said. And they all seemed to relax back into
their chairs.
“So, you call your father by his first name?” Nicole asked.
“I’ve only known him for a very short time. Weeks. It feels a little strange calling him dad.” I
said.
“I can imagine. But it’s still very disrespectful.” Celine said.
“With all due respect, I disagree.” I said. And Wesley elbowed me for speaking to a council member like that.
“It’s alright Wesley. She’s allowed to speak her mind.” Elias said.
“You have three mates. Is that correct?” Celine asked.
“Yes. They’re identical triplets.” I said.

They all gave each other a look before they looked back at me. All their eyes are boring into me, trying to make me feel very uncomfortable.
“I don’t mean to be rude. Believe me. But I don’t know what I’m doing here.” I said.
“Well, that’s because your father contacted us and told us what you were. You are the first of
your kind and that wasn’t something that we could just let slide.” Lincoln said.
“What are you talking about?” I asked.
“We know what each species can do individually. But we don’t know what a person can do when all of those species are mixed in together.” He said. And I chuckled.
“I can do some pretty impressive s**t. That much I can tell you.” I said.
“Nova. This isn’t a joke.” Wesley scolded me.
I looked around the room once more and I saw paintings all around the room again. But these were portraits that were painted of the council. But the council members were different in all of the pictures.
“Why is Lincoln the only consistent person in these portraits?” I asked.
“Because I’m immortal and I can’t die. All of the other council members are dead.” Lincoln
said. And I nodded my head.
That made sense. He’s been on the council the longest. That’s why he had the largest seat and right in the middle.
He wanted people to know that he was in charge without actually telling them that he was in
charge.
I looked back at Wesley and his expression had changed while looking at me. He wasn’t smiling anymore. He was a lot more serious and he was looking at me with a wicked glint in
his eye.
“What’s going on Wesley?” I asked.
He then turned to look at the council and studied them for a moment.
“What do you think?” Wesley asked.
“I can feel her power from here. She’s going to be a handful.” Celine said.
“We already knew that before she got here.” Elias said.
“What are you talking about? I was tasked to go to Alaska and protect the triplets.” I said.
“That’s just the bullshit that Ava fed you.” Wesley said.

“Excuse me? I’m not meant to protect them?” I asked.
Wesley stood up and moved away from me and at the same time doors opened behind me and on either side of the walls beside me, letting in a lot of warriors.
“Wesley. What the hell?” I asked, standing up.
“Ava wanted you in Alaska. She wanted you to die while protecting the triplets. And then they would be broken without their mate and her daughter was going to glide in as the next Luna. That’s all Ava cares about. To make sure that brat takes over the pack.” Wesley said, stepping away from me.
I stood up from the chair and looked around at the warriors that were surrounding the whole
room and then I turned back to the council.
“You can feel my power Celine?” I asked.
“That’s right.” She said.
“Then you should know that not even this many men can stop me.” I said.
Wesley walked in front of me but now he was standing closer to the council and he had a
wicked smirk on his face.
I started laughing at him and he looked at me really confused.
“You set me up. You’re going to give me to the council? How the hell were you planning on getting rid of the council? I mean, that’s what you told Camila, isn’t it? That you were going to take over the supernatural council?” I asked.
“How the hell do you know that?” He growled at me.
“Because you were stupid enough to underestimate me.” I said.
But then he looked at the warrior that was standing to the left of me. He looked like he was
the one in charge.
He nodded at that warrior and suddenly they were all surrounding myself and the council.
My dad had their own warriors in his back pocket and that’s how he planned to overthrow
them.
He was really going to literally get rid of them. Kill them.
“So, you’re going to kill me and say that the council did it and then claim that you had to kill the council while you were trying to protect me.” I said.
“You are smarter than I gave you credit for.” Wesley said.

CHAPTER 68
“I’m a hell of a lot smarter than you gave me credit for. I can’t believe you actually thought this little plan of yours would work.” I said.
“Look around you. It already has worked.” He yelled.
But then the door opened again and I forced the warriors to step aside without even touching them and Lexie walked in wearing thick leather gloves while holding a silver blade to Camila’s neck.
“What the f**k?” Wesley yelled.
I then walked forward to Camila and I looked her straight in the eye before I turned around to face Wesley and I placed my hand on her chest.
“Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t end her right now?” I asked.
Wesley jumped and wanted to run to Camila but he knew that it was a death wish if he made any sudden movements.
I stumbled backwards onto the platform that the council members were on and they were all
out of their seats now too.
“Please? Don’t hurt her?” Wesley pleaded.
“Why not? You were going to kill me. Your own f*****g daughter.” I said.
Wesley stood there staring at Camila with wide eyes and I looked at him for a moment before I raised my other hand and I placed it on the chest of the warrior that was right next to me.
He instantly started screaming as he burnt from the inside out. But it was a domino effect.
Once he started burning then so did the warrior beside him until they were all dead on the
ground.
“You assholes know how dangerous I can be and yet you still thought it was a good idea to
piss me off?” I asked.
“You can’t hurt us. We’re the supernatural council.” Lincoln yelled.
Celine stepped forward and I stood in front of Lexie and Camila, but mostly to protect Lexie.
I knew that she was going to try and stop me, but she was going to try pretty damn hard. I wasn’t giving up this fight for anything in the world.
