Betrayed by My Pack - Wolfless Hybrids EscapeChapter 55
Chapter 55Paxton’s POV“Paxton, two members from the Werewolf Council are at the gate demanding entry. They didn’t advise why they were here, only that they needed to speak to you. I just told the guards to allow them in. They are the same Council members that we saw at Black Adder, Glenn Floyd and Gary Sharp,” Clay announced after entering my office without knocking.“Call Rex to meet them at the entrance to the packhouse. Shut the door before you speak again. You can go ahead and stay here with me. Take a seat on the sofa on the far wall. Why are they here? I haven’t spoken to them since the incident at Jaxon’s pack. Did they file a complaint against us? I haven’t seen anything cross my desk that needs to be dealt with. You don’t think that Jaxon figured out what we are doing? Do you think Lena would throw us under the bus like that?” I asked him, knowing full well she would do just that to save herself.“Let’s no reason to assume anything. Don’t offer them any information. Just keep your answers brief and only answer exactly what they ask of you. Eventually, they will tell us why they are here. I doubt that there would only be two of them here if they had found out about our plans. They would have shown up with an army to take us to jail. So stop worrying; they have nothing on us, and we won’t give them anything while they are here. Just keep your face neutral, no matter what they say. I told Rex the same thing. They are just here phishing for something,” Clay told me.I relaxed a little, it was probably a routine visit, despite them not announcing they were coming. Clay was calmer than me because it wouldn’t be his head on the chopping block if a problem existed. It would be me facing the punishment, which caused some of my anxiety to return. I would rather have a heads–up on their visit, which means they weren’t entirely phishing. They were here for a reason, and they wanted to see our reactions to whatever it was. I braced myself to remain neutral. I was not just going to fold like a house of cards. I haven’t done anything wrong.Rex’s mindlinked us that they were on their way up to the first floor, where my office was, Goddess, my hands were starting to get clammy. Why did they just show up with no notice? They have always given notice when they were coming. We always got a visit from the northern district of the Council, which consisted of only three members in total. We rarely saw anyone from the main legislative branch, which comprised of six members. One of them would act as an alternate. That allowed them to cover for when someone was out on vacation or someone sick for the vote to be a majority of the five sitting on the panel. They were in charge of this district.
