Chapter 173: The Second Meeting
Victor’s POV
I was much better today, though I suppose the fact that I had almost internally combusted a few hours prior and the fact that Tara was in the same room as me now, played equal parts in that reason.
I still couldn’t look at her, and so I stayed focused on the piece of paper that Kia had given me. She was Tara’s Beta—it was something that was said in the first few moments of the meeting, when we had all given our official titles and reasoning for being here.
It was somewhat strange to me how this room was filled with the people I cared about most in the world, and we were discussing diplomacy and politics as though we hadn’t all been kids together, once.
Granted, when we had all met, there was a plethora of horror between all of us—enough to build our own special circle of hell. But we were younger then, we didn’t hold the titles we now did. Both Tara and I weren’t Alphas, we were barely people, barely wolves, honestly.
