67 Chapter Sixty-seven

Ethan sat with his eyes closed, deep in thought, his mind still reeling from the dream he had last night, trying to decipher the meaning of his dream. He had dreamt of the council of elders, demanding that he bring Ariana to them before it was too late. They saw Ariana as a threat, and they believed she was a danger to the werewolf community if her abilities were not understood and controlled.

The Werewolf Council had been relentless in their pursuit of Ariana ever since they had learned of her mysterious powers. He had ignored their warning the last time they had sent emissaries, but this time, they seemed more insistent. Ethan rubbed his temples, trying to ease the growing tension in his head. He couldn't shake the feeling that trouble was brewing, and it seemed he was about to face it head-on.

Suddenly, the heavy wooden door to his chamber burst open, and in strode Jake, his Beta, his expression urgent and troubled.
