“Vino Lawrence?” I asked, and she shook her head.
“Larry McMillian?” I asked, and she shook her head, so I called a known member’s name to see if she was lying to me.
“Jacob Ma…” I started, and she nodded before I could finish the sentence which meant she was being truthful.
“Joan Clayman?” I asked, and she shook her head.
“Pamela Rivers?” I asked, and she shook her head.
I felt a tinge of disappointment because I wanted that bitch to be guilty. I still thought she was. Maybe Annika did not know all their names.
“Lucas Vanhill,” I asked the quietest person on the council, and she shook her head.
“Gaston Wayat,” I said, and she frowned a bit and nodded.
“Neil Peakman,” She said quickly, which was the next name I would call.
“I remember him, Neil Peakman,” She said.
“Uncle said he is reticent in the council and makes no sound, but he passes all the orders before the council leader signs them. He was the one who connived with Jenny Lawrence to murder Louis Lawrence, head of the council, Vino’s father. I think they hate Vino Lawrence too. He might be on their hit list,” She said and sighed. Though the information was fragmented, I planned to piece it together.

“I will give you the password to my computer and email so you can piece together the information on your own, Luna. Please, I want you to reduce the sentence for my cooperation.” She said quickly.
“Not yet, until your information checks out,” Kara said, and Annika agreed. Her confidence let me know she wasn’t lying, but they would still crosscheck to be sure.
“It will check out alright. I am not a liar like that Cindy girl. You know she doubled–crossed you, right? She told them you were on to them, so they changed strategy,” Annika said, and I realised she wanted to
cooperate
I doubted it had anything to do with reduced sentencing. She wanted her uncle to get caught.
“It seems to me you want us to catch your uncle,” I told her, and she bowed her head.
“I am tired of the man, Luna Locking me up in a cell for the rest of my life will be freedom compared to this I am tired of everything, and I doubt what they are peddling is what they are planning,” she said, and Olga exclaimed and asked her what she meant by that.
Annika began to laugh.
“They claim every pack will be free yet want to install a King. Do the math, Olga, and stop being dumb.” She said and chuckled.
The girl was mentally unstable, and I felt genuinely sorry for her.
Realising there was nothing more to learn from them, Kara, Eloise, and I left them and returned to my wing.
planned on resting before I visited Lori.
I told the additional names to Darius, and I could feel his shock.

The council members that were mentioned came as a shocker to him, but the baffling part of all this was that we were still yet to get the name of this king. It would have been nice to pick the king up along with the others tomorrow night, but as things were looking, we would just have to go after the names we had and hope that the king and the rest would rear their heads.
Kara, Eloise and I decided to kick back before secing Lori. I was happy about how fast we were moving. First, we did not have people to deal with, and now we had a list. However, I would have been happier if the king had been on that list. It would mean our troubles would end, but it was better than nothing.
I wondered what Darius was still doing, but I did not want to disturb him. The operation they were planning was very tedious, and I knew it would need a lot of care. Paying attention to detail and being meticulous about it would ensure success.
“I really think Cindy got off easy,” Kara said, and Eloise giggled.
“There is nothing worse than mental torture. Zora sent her to the dark dungeon to await the trial. Who said she would have her day in court ever?” Eloise said, and we all laughed.
There was nothing worse than not being able to plead your case.
Death would be an easy escape for the bitch. She did not strike me as someone that wanted to live. If she wanted to live, she would have taken the gift of life given to her and made the most of it, but she decided that she would throw it all away for nothing. I do not know how her mind functions, but the girl is very stupid.
“I will need you to receive David and his family on my behalf when they arrive. We are still planning, and our plans have hit some challenges. Do you think you are up for it, Green–eyes?” Darius teased me, and I sighed.
“I need some stress–relieving activity to be up for it,” I teased him. Giddy

about what we have been able to achieve so far.
“Meet me in my office,” he said, closing the link.
I was shocked; I actually meant that as a joke. I did not think he would take it seriously. The way he said it was mind–blowing, and my walls began to clench just thinking of what he would do to me in there. Eloise and Kara were speaking, and I wasn’t listening.
I stood up immediately.
“Excuse me, ladies. Darius sent for me,” I said, not wanting them to know what I was going to do.
“Okay, we will wait for you here,” Eloise said, and I felt a tinge of guilt.
Lleft the lounge and walked briskly down the hallway.
Darius was so spontaneous that I liked it. I hoped I wouldn’t come immediately because of how I was feeling.
My body temperature had gone up a bit. Excitement wasn’t good, especially when there was a task to complete.
It always gets in the way.
I reached the office door and took a deep breath before stepping in.
Darius was sitting on the couch with his shirt open, and I could see the lust in his eyes.
