Her smile grew as she nodded. “Yes. Craven, Death, and I talked it over. It’s been decided.”
“Well, fuck.” He ran a hand through his white-blond hair and shot me a smirk. “Anything that helps me be closer to my mate. Thanks.”
Damien chuckled, sniffing his mate’s neck. “I’m the same way.”
Everglow hummed. “The new drude representative is a demon we’ve sought out named Jett Weaver.”
A drude, a blond man with gray eyes, stood and bowed slightly. “Thank you for this honor. I never expected to be joining the Supernatural Council, but I am thankful.”
“Bram, we’d like to offer you the chaos demon representative spot,” Everglow offered, and Bram’s eyes widened in shock.
“I, really?”
“Yes.”
He stood up abruptly and nodded. “Thank you.”
“Finally,” Everglow announced, landing her gaze on Reed. “I’m resigning my seat over to Reed Nyx, if he’ll accept.”
Reed’s mouth fell open as he got to his feet. “I accept. Thank you.”
Rowan’s lips twitched in amusement as he stood up. “We already have checks and balances in place to avoid any bias since we have an entire matebond claiming seats for some of the demon spots, so these representative spots are approved.”
Sabine grinned. “Congratulations, new and returning representatives. We’re happy to have you. Now, we will adopt supernatural agents into the Demon Capital to carry out laws. This frees up your time to focus on more administrative duties.”
“Thank you,” we murmured, and excitement thrummed through me.
“Pandora Gravesend is also now a legend just like her dad is.” Sabine’s dull green eyes met mine. “You’re being honored as a hero and so is Nebula.”
“Thank you,” I rasped before heat pricked my eyes, and I stood up again. “I only wish he was here to see all of this. Excuse me a moment.”
I excused myself, and all five of my mates excused themselves to follow me.
“Starlight, are you okay?” Hunter murmured, catching my wrist.
I turned with tears in my eyes and nodded. “I’m okay. I promise. I just need to use the restroom.”
“You’re not okay,” Bram stated the obvious, making me giggle slightly.
“I will be,” I promised.
“Let her have a moment,” Skel told them.
“She’ll be okay,” Reed agreed.
“I’ll watch you from the shadows,” Dex murmured.
I sighed as I opened the door to the bathroom. “Do as you’d like.”
Once inside, I noticed how nice the bathrooms in headquarters were. White tile floors and white walls with porcelain sinks and nice mirrors and stalls.
However, as I entered, I noticed a woman with green wavy hair clutching the sink and swaying back and forth. She had a poison bottle sitting in front of her on the sink, and it looked to be empty.
Panic clawed at my throat as I realized she must’ve drank it. I rushed over to her, barely catching her as she fell backward, eyes rolling back. “Oh, Fates! Are you okay?”
She giggled deliriously as she gripped my arms to steady herself. Her golden eyes finally lost the cloudy hue they had when I first found her. “Am I okay? I’m glorious! That was oneinsanepoison the lab crafted. It’s supposed to be fatal when consumed, and it definitely is!”
My lips parted in shock as her midnight orchid scent overwhelmed me. “Um, should I…get someone?”
