Chapter 56- Acting Like A Coward
Selene ~~
"You mean…" my voice cracked before I could finish. "You mean they're no longer involving the court in anything?"
The man nodded slowly.
Tears filled my eyes before I could stop them. They stung like fire, and no matter how hard I tried to blink them away, they kept coming.
"I don't want to be the one to say it this way, Selene…" his voice was quiet now, heavy with sadness, "but yes."
He looked down like he was ashamed. "They've stopped involving the court. Whenever they want to do something evil, they hold a secret meeting. Only the ones like them… the evil elders, the ones who smile in public but kill in private."
He looked up at me again. "They plan everything behind closed doors. No law. No fairness. Just pure hate."
I couldn't say a word. I was still trying to understand why this was happening. Why me.
