Research was going to help ure out what I needed to say I read that whole damned Werewolf Bible front to back And then I read a couple other reference books that Mr Dawson had given me I took notes, and at the end of it, I wasn’t numb anymore, but I was a little pissed

I stomped my way fromfor the questions with Mr Dawson They believed that I wouldn’t be held accountable for anything, but Dastien had known better than to bite ene, that was on his head, too The whole thing was bullshit; Iistered his complaint to take the focus off his atte as Dastien could be held accountable, so could I Dastien couldn’t take the blaene’s throat, but I knew he’d try

The truth ere both in serious shit, and he’d known all along Everyone had been pattingit’d all be fine and not to worry

Fur rippled and disappeared along ot to Dastien’s cabin, I didn’t knock He sat at the table with Donovan, Sebastian, Mr Dawson and an old man I didn’t know But I didn’t care

I threw the book at Dastien, but he caught it before it hit hi to Chapter Seven, paragraph fourteen, what you did is inexcusable IN EXCUSE ABLE Not even a little bit okay As in of course they have a case I read about four other cases si--and they were killed As in no longer breathing! And you’ve been telling me not to worry? Just write the speech, you said They’ll let us be together, you said" I paused to catch h? What? Please tell , we’re in a whole heap of shit"

"Cherie--"

"Don’t you cherie me! I knohat I read How could you lie?" I spun to Mr Dawson, pointing a finger at hi would be fine" I turned to Sebastian and Donovan "And you two didn’t say a da either I talked to you yesterday, Donovan Told you I orried And you said to write frorand Grand," I said the last inoff as a little crazed, so I took a moment to catch my breath "Don’t think I’ Everyone treats me like a child It’ll be fine, they say Don’t worry, they say Well fuck that"

My blood was on fire Fear and anger and frustration had all iant ball of bad e hard

"You done?" Mr Dawson said

"I don’t know" I couldn’t think behind the h, and I shot hi! It’s not funny" I backed poith the coh instantly died "Well, that’s the first time someone’s put me in et you, Dono?" the stranger asked

"I’ll be damned, but it did Shite It definitely did"

Maybe that wasn’t the best thing to do, but I couldn’t helpcreature I didn’t like it one bit "What?"

"What, indeed"

"This is what I mean," Sebastian said His thick German accent turned the ‘w’ to a ‘v’ sound

The staring made me calm down a little "Sorry" I paused That was a lie "I’ for someone to address the real issue at hand

"What he did was bad Yes, inexcusable But there are exceptions to every rule, and we agreed that you were the exception," Sebastian said "That’s why Donovan and I came to see you If there had been a need for all of this, ould’ve said so then We would’ve called the Tribunal and made an example of the two of you, but instead we found you Your bond with him eaker then, but even so, we suspected ould happen if it were to strengthen"

I sed Sebastian’s caler, but all I was left as fear "Do I need to be worried about this? Beyond whatever Luciana is going to say? Be honest"

"Maybe," Sebastian said "If you’d gone through with the ceremony yesterday, then no But now…"
