Chapter 117: The Council Members-1
When Fiona stepped out of her car in front of the King’s Castle, she wore an elegant business suit. Her royal navy coat, perfectly tailored, was trimmed with silver thread that shimmered when she moved. Beneath it, her style was effortless: high collars, fitted gloves, and jewelry inherited from her ancestors. A single pearl at her throat. A signet ring bearing the Raynor crest. Nothing loud. Everything intentional.
Fiona Elizabeth Raynor, the Ambassador of the Werewolves, head of the Raynor Clan, managed diplomacy with humans, other supernatural beings, and foreign werewolf territories.
Her hair was pinned with precision, not a strand out of place, though the glint in her steel-blue eyes suggested she’d been through storms few could survive. She did not smile often, but when she did, it cut sharper than any fang. She wasn’t beautiful in a fragile way... she was the kind of beautiful that made kings hesitate and assassins think twice.
Fiona climbed the steps and found two other council members already waiting.
One was Stellan Ragnar Fenroth, the Warlord of the werewolves and leader of the Fenroth Clan. As Supreme Military Commander of the werewolf forces, he was responsible for war, defense, and strategic mobilization.
Stellan looked like he had been carved from ice and iron. Broad-shouldered and towering, he carried a warrior’s frame forged by generations of survival and battle. His hair, the color of storm clouds... pale ash threaded with silver... fell in loose waves to his shoulders. He usually tied it back before entering combat. A short, rough beard shadowed his jaw, which he thought of as a symbol of his strength.
His glacier-blue eyes were cold and sharp, piercing through lies and diplomatic pretenses. They held the stillness of winter hunts and the promise of violence just beneath the surface. People said he could look at a man and imagine a thousand ways to end him.
A wolf pelt was draped across his back... not ornamental, but worn and battle-scarred, a trophy from an ascended beast he had slain singlehandedly in his youth. His leathers were reinforced with dark steel at the shoulders and forearms, shaped not for ceremony but for war. Etched runes marked his bracers and collar, symbols of his lineage.
Beside him stood Yara Arara Neblina, the Watcher of the werewolves and head of the Amazons. She handled intelligence, surveillance, and rogue tracking.
