Chapter 343: LINEAGE BLOODLINE ENEMY
We all convened at Alexander’s mansion and Elder Zaya joined as Haida and Mrs. Hemming remained back at the villa.
Elder Cynthia arrived as the Sitka council members arrived one by one and they seemed surprised to see Conri, Lucian, and Elder Zaya at Alexander’s office. Charry stood by the door on guard while Alexander sat by the high seat next to me flagged by Asheral on the other chair.
" Thank you all for coming on such short notice. " Elder Cynthia spoke up. " My Lord, what do you need ?"
" I would like to know if anyone knows Aipaloovik?." I spoke up.
Three council members looked blank but Esme’s and one council member’s reactions were too obvious. She fidgeted and looked away. I remained silent in waiting and felt the impatience that rose in Dolf and Meglado.
" The scent of Aipaloovik does not fade away," Conri spoke and the power he released was so great that everyone in the room winced.
" Child, what did you do ?" Asheral demanded and Esme’s eyes widened.
We watched the other female council member’s face drained in shock while Esme stood up and attempted to run. I raised my hand and knocked her down and I stood up in anger.
" How dare you" I seethed at her. "On your knees’ ’ I commanded and the other council member lowered herself on her knees.
"Speak, " Conri growled and the room shook.
"Cordelia was my best friend. When she married Aipaloovik her serpent shifter’s health drained so fast and she was dead within a year. We tried everything, all the magic that we could think of but she died. I was heartbroken but Aipaloovik went mad. He preserved her body and kept looking for a way to revive her. But the people surrounding Aipaloovik got greedy and I resorted to telling him about Tabular. " Esme confessed and Asheral stood up so fast and backhanded her a slap that forced her head backward.
