Chapter 144 A King Falls

• Selene's eyes pass the Lycans one by one.
• The Sages bow respectfully to her while Eric and Ralph turn red, their heads also down, albeit for a different reason. Jasper and Rain have their hands together honorably, while Jace and Cleo follow suit.
• "You guys wonder why I summoned you to face me," she begins sarcastically. No one answers for fear of getting her wrath on them. "We'll start with Eric," she states and turns to the man. "What is your confession, Secretary? I've watched your missteps for too long". Eric has no choice but to tell his sins, the reason he had Natalie killed, his rejection of his fated and accepting a second chance, and the selfish reason he marked Rachel. A sigh of disbelief passes through those present.
