8- Meeting Of Leaders

Two Weeks Later

Elias POV:

It’s been two weeks since the last time time I saw Mila. I thought I would see her again, but she never came back. I never understood the reason why she never came back, I thought she felt the same way I did. But maybe I was wrong? or maybe she’s just busy? Or maybe I’m just in denial. I don’t know. The only thing I know is that she’s always on my mind. I dream about her, I think I see her every where honestly it’s kinda sad if you ask me. But I can’t help it I’m in love, right? I just wish I could see her again.

I got called to a council meeting for the Empire leaders. The room was dimly lit, mostly for the vampires. The Empire leaders was all sitting around at desk that formed a large circle around the room. The Kings sat with their mates or chosen Queen by their side.

And it’s going like it always does, pitiful.
“That rogue queen Nuala needs to be taken down.” Dragen Blackheart said. Him and his wife Violet were the representative’s of the Blackheart clan. His short black hair was gelled straight back and his face was a milky white. His eyes were dark and held no life to them. He wore a long black cloak over a black suit. His wife’s long blonde hair was pulled into a half ponytail. Free strands hung around her milky white face and dead eyes. She wore a long lacy black dress that covered her neck and arms.

“I agree.” Harry Wilcox a fox shifter said, he was new to the council. His short red hair was styled to the side and his brown eyes held mischief in them. His face was tan and he had a small goatee. He wore a green and blue suit.

“I don’t see your problems with Queen Nuala,” I started sitting back in my chair. Every time we come to the subject of Rogues it’s always these two talking about taking down Queen Nuala. “Ever since Queen Nuala started a kingdom for the rogues we’ve had less problems with the rogues.”

“I have to agree with King Elias.” Lucifer said as he looked around at everyone. “There have been less rogue attacks ever since Queen Nuala came into the scene. She’s a good leader and isn’t causing anyone any harm.” I looked at Lucifer and he nodded at me in agreement. His wavy light brown hair was brushed back and his grey eyes shined in the light, he had stubble on his face and for a second his eyes reminded me of Mila. And just like that I was put into a foul, love sick mood.

I didn’t even notice, Lucifer’s wife staring at me. Her long curly red hair hung freely down her shoulders. Her Amber eyes and her skin was beautifully tan, honestly she was a beautiful woman. I smiled at her and nodded. She gave me a surprised look then just continued to stare at me with a smirk on her face. It was smirk that read ‘I know your secret.’ I cleared my throat and just looked away from her, but I could still feel her eyes on me.

What the hell was her problem?

Everyone started talking at the same time, arguing about their differences about Queen Nuala.

“If you think about it Queen Nuala is just like us!” Julius yelled and everyone started to get quiet. “She keeps her kingdom in check, and from what I heard everyone respect her.” I nodded agreeing with Julius, and certain people, we all know who, grumbled in disagreement.

“And if you ask me She belongs here with us.” Julius added.

“Like hell she does!” Dragen yelled slamming his hand down on the desk in front of him.

“I agree,” Harry yelled “What the hell is she any way?”

“Don’t you think thats one reason why we should have her here, So we can learn more about her, get her on our side so that we wont end up going to war with the rouges or the purifiers." Julius said stating his point.

Dragen and Harry started to argue against Julius.

“Silence!!” Lucifer yelled and everyone got silent. “It’s obvious that we won’t come to an agreement on this. So, I will make the final decision.”

“And who the hell are you to make the final decision?” Harry said a scowl on his face. The room got quiet. It was so quiet if a pin dropped it would echo throughout the whole room.

Lucifer just sat back and smirked, His wife was just giggling silently next to him.

“Young man, do you know who ‘I’ am?” Lucifer asked as he entangled his fingers together.

Harry just looked at him, then looked around at everyone. When he noticed that no one was looking at him he started to get nervous.

“No?” Lucifer asked “Well let’s just say, I’m the creator of evil, and all your little nightmares and if you care about your race you’ll shut the hell up and you wont fuck with me, understand?”

I could just see Harry shaking with fear and Lucifer’s wife was smiling with pride. I looked over at my so called wife. She looked bored and completely uninterested and looking at her nails, not the way a Luna Queen is suppose to look.

I looked around at the other wives and mates. They looked professional, like they were actually paying attention, the way a leader’s wife is suppose to look. I felt ashamed she was my mate she wasn’t representing me or my empire in a positive light.

“Like I was saying,” Lucifer started “The final decision that I’m coming up with is, I will send her an invitation to next months council meeting. Then and only then will we judge her and ask her the questions we want, It is only fair.”

Everyone nodded and agreed with him, not like they had much of a choice anyway. With that being said the meeting was ended, and we all made our way to the ballroom for the ball.
