Athena's stomach twisted painfully. Fuck… no.
Her mind spun.
They think he's involved in taking illegal drugs.
Because he'd protected her.
Because he hadn't handed her over.
Sarah's next words snapped her back. "They're coming for you now, Athena," she said, voice breaking. "The Council wants to question everyone connected to him. You were seen with him last night. That's too in the most notorious werewolves den."
Gina's gasp filled the silence.
Athena felt the blood drain from her face. The air in the chamber felt too thick to breathe. She stared at Sarah, disbelief and guilt warring in her eyes.
"What are you going to do?" Sarah whispered.
Athena didn't answer.
Her lips parted but no sound came. The world had gone eerily still around her. Only the echo of Kraven's voice from that night rang in her head…
"Then they can take it up with me."
He had meant it and now he was paying for it.
Athena stood frozen for a moment, her mind racing with thoughts.
The Council.
