The Kings Series #1 His Beauty Queen novel Chapter 30

The moment he strolled inside the High Council's chamber, he knew something was wrong.

As predicted Victor and his beloved did not grace them with their presence. A telling sign.

Warning bells rang in his head. He mind linked his royal beta to call home.

Damn the consequences. He will step out of this meeting in a heartbeat to go home if his pack and queen was under threat. No one can stop him, not even the fucking council.

This group of people --with the exception of his parents and Esmeralda the High Priestess-- were becoming more trouble than they're worth. He had a mind to propose reshuffle soon and elect new members.

Everything is okay back home, sire. The queen luna is resting. Pack members are accounted for.

Thank you, beta.

Deep breaths. Calm down. His Queen was sleeping and she was okay. He listened to their pups' heartbeats before he left them and they were healthy as can be.

Only two ancient vampire couples on the platform today. His parents sat beside them. The white witch in the middle, the other members were supernatural species of different kinds. The fairy couple glowed, listening to the Dragon King presenting the case.

Alexander hoped the admissible evidence they had will establish each and every element of their claims and any defenses that Victor has will be dismissed.

The sneaky vampire may have a lawyer here, which Alexander doubted.

"For my exhibit A, I present you the videotapes of rogues we capture during the raids. My secretary will hand you the transcripts of the interrogation."

Everyone focused on the big screen. All stoic faces watched the scenes unfolding. He knew it all by heart for he was there.

The executioner.

All gave the same information. About a high ranking official, sending them instructions on what to do via email. Payments through couriers and online transactions. The necromancer's father was the last one, he confirmed they met with Victor in person. The council member became cocky. He really thought he could get away with it.

"Exhibit B presents the legal documents we procured from our sources. The IP address on those emails and offshore bank accounts in Asia points to one name only. Victor Lemonte, a council member who we trusted to guide us Kings and yet he betrayed us. He betrayed the Alliance. His motive is to awaken the dark angel. Beloved High Council, we all know what becomes of us if that happens."

Lucas gave them time to contemplate his words. All of them were shocked beyond belief but at least two couples were emotionless. It was noteworthy.

"So, on behalf of the Kings of the Supernatural alliance, I implore you to grant us justice by removing councilman Victor's immunity."

Murmurs reverberated around the chamber.

"Dragon King, can you provide us the names of your resources who were able to trace Victor's personal information?" The Lycan narrowed his eyes to the ancient vampire. Councilman Rexin Fleming, from England. His beloved looked pained and uncomfortable. Why?

"I am afraid your request will not be possible councilman. We don't want to put their lives in danger." There was a subtle threat in Lucas's words. If their men will be harmed in any way there will be hell to pay.

The dragon king may seem harmless in his traditional barrister's attire nonetheless he was a powerful beast first and foremost.

"I understand, dragon king. Give us time to convene."

"Time is of the essence, Councilman Rexin. We need to act now." Alexander could sense his friend's agitation. He will not be delayed.

Victor may have already left the country while this asshole requested more time to ponder.

"My mate and I vote in your favor." The former Lycan King, his father stated with confidence.

"And I," The white witch seconded. Voice firm and haughty.

"My vote is yes."

"Mine as well."

"Yes."

"Our votes are yes." The fairy couples.

All in all eighty percent of the total members of the High Council had voted in their favor.

Fuck! They won. Victor is a dead man.

***

The men are in position, sire.

Copy that. Spare those who will surrender, beta.

Yes, sir. Oliver is with me, he can order them to do that.

One warning. Stay safe.

In his lycan form, he ran through the forest connecting to a remote village in Brasov, where Victor's ancient castle was located.

Beside him was Xavier in his vampire beast ducking and jumping through fallen trees.

Overhead was the Dragons, Lucas in the middle of his two commanders.
