Chapter 141: Prince Gregory: Blindsided

Every single hand in the room went into the air - except for mine, Sophie's, Sabella's, Peyton's, and the Zoya Coven. I blinked, positive I wasn't seeing clearly. Or maybe I was having a lucid nightmare. No way had the majority of the royal covens just voted to kill Jax and punish Piper. My ears rang, and my brain could not process what was happening.

"It is the decision of the royal covens to issue swift and just punishment against Piper Pendragon and Jaxon Halstead for their crimes against the magical community," my father said.

Sophie gasped, eyes wide, and cupped her hand over her mouth. Sabella once again stood, but Peyton grabbed her arm and yanked her back down before Sabella could say anything. My gaze darted toward Isach, who looked just as shocked and horrified as I felt.

I glanced up at my father. His expression was much too pleased, his smug smile making the blood in my veins boil. "I demand a new vote," I said.
