“I know you have scores to settle with your mate, but it is between you two now. I cannot be involved.” Darius added gently, knowing exactly how I was feeling, and I decided to do the right thing.
“I will deal with it now, but please, I want to be a part of the questioning,” I told them. They laughed.
“We won’t question anyone until Darius is king. They all demand to be brought before the council before they speak, so we can’t question them. There is a possibility they would go free if we allow it. It will be a shocker when Darius is made king, and they have to answer to him,” Raphael said.
Stalling their questioning with the council is the fastest way to make Darius king, and we all knew it. The council will send Darius a summon, which he is meant to ignore. Then the four leaders would be asked to come to the council and vote that Darius steps down for blatantly refusing to see the council and violating rights.
During the voting session, we would push forth our agenda and demand he be made king because the current situation is not helping us. For whatever reason we choose to come up with, however stupid it may be, we would just unanimously agree that we want a king and not a lord
anymore.
After a long debate between the council members and us, the top families would be asked to choose sides. We knew what the top families would decide, championing our proposal.
After the top families side with us, the council would have to back down.

This process might take a day or two, pending when the council chooses to act between summoning Darius and us.
I knew dealing with Lori’s issue was essential so we could focus on the problem at hand. She was more of a distraction and liability.
I excused myself to go deal with my problem.
I moved through the hallway, and when I got to the room that Lori was being held in, a Brian came to open the door for me. I walked in, and she was sitting in the chair reading a book. She looked at me, and there was fear in her eyes.
“Casey,” she said, and Sage growled at her.
“It is alpha to you!” I said, and sheKararted her gaze.
“I guess you have not forgiven me yet.” She said, putting down the book and standing up.
“I can never forgive what you did to me,” I said, and she shook her head.
“I did not do anything to you. We are both guilty. You could have rejected me but refused to do it, so do not put this on me. Do you think I wanted this life? Do you think I wanted to play second fiddle to Zora? I didn’t. Casey, but you put me in that situation. You put my wolf and me in that situation, so don’t blame me for this. Zora has the right to be angry but not you. I did everything I could to fit in her shoes. I loved you the best way I could, but I was never enough,” She said, tears streaming down her face, but I was numb to them.
“You could have come clean about what your father was doing, what he was making you do,” I said to her, and she shook her head.
“Would you have listened? You rarely spend time with me, and when you are around, you are buried in work. I was alone, so I had to figure it out alone.” she said, and I nodded.

“I do not trust you, Lori, and I do not want to waste any more of my precious time with you. Darius says he can’t hold you, but I still believe you have a hand in all this. Because if you can sleep with me, and hide this magnitude of information from me, then you can as well kill me in my sleep the moment I stop being useful,” I said. She looked hurt, but I did not feel a thing.
“You can say all you like but do not belittle my love, Casey. I love you, and you know it, so don’t say things like that,” she said, crying, and I
exhaled.
“I will let you go, but you can’t be my Luna. I do not even want you in the east. You can go home and pack your things. When you settle, let me know where you are. I will find a way to be in my children’s lives after they have been tested. But our relationship is over Lori,” I said, and she looked at me angrily.
“Very well, I do not need you to take care of my children,” she said, and I did not know if she wanted me to plead with her or not. I did not care.
“Suit yourself. However you want, it is fine by me,” I said, and she nodded.
“I will let them know the kind of man their father is,” she said as a threat.
and I nodded.
“While you are it, tell them how you got into my life and ruined it. Tell them how you helped your father almost destroy me. There might be no evidence linking you directly to this shit, but I don’t trust you. I promise you that if I find out you had a hand in all this, I
will hunt you down and destroy you,” I said; she stepped back.
“I, Casey Grady, reject you, Lori Kuhn as my mate. May your days be full of the anguish and pain you brought me,” I said, finally speaking the words I should have said on the balcony that day, a little too late.
She stepped back, anticipating pain, but it never came. I looked at her and

“Accept!” I yelled at the stubborn woman, and her tears began to fall freely as she shook her head, refusing to accept the rejection: hoping I would take it back, but my mind was made up. I was done.
“Accept!” I yelled.
I needed her to accept because she was an Alpha breed. Getting impatient, I advanced towards her, and she accepted before I could reach her, but the pain did not come.
I felt a disconnection and emptiness but no pain.
With Zora, there was pain. Did it have something to do with the blue moon?
Finding a fated was hard, let alone rejecting them, but Darius had felt pain when he rejected Shanon even though he masked it. I knew it, which was why Zora took him out of the ball, but I felt nothing with Lori.
“May I see Annika before I leave?” She asked, wiping away her tears.
“My father misled her, and I felt I should have saved her. I would like to see her before I leave,” She said in tears, and I nodded.
“I will tell Zora to permit you,” I said and turned my back. I was a free man, and even though I felt empty, I knew I would start on a clean slate.
