Chapter 48

• Lucas' POV
• I stepped into the council chamber, Aurelio right behind me. The stench of fear enveloped the room. News about loosing control when Elara had been kidnapped spread like wild fire. My men were afraid of me, the walked on eggshells around me.
• While I didn’t mind the fear, I hated the doubt. Each word was spoken with second thoughts, no one fully ready to speak their minds, afraid of what I might do. It was tiring.
