The Interrogation

Jessica slammed the door behind the queen. She hated what she'd just heard from Hera. How could she say Stephan was close to his grave? With anger in her veins, Jessica grabbed what she retrieved from the witch and marched to Jaden's chambers.

He wasn't there and was told by some guards that he was in his office with Prince Stephan. Jessica's brows tightened. She wondered what they must be doing after they had just been dismissed from a meeting.

In Jaden's office, the atmosphere was tight and eerie. No one was speaking and they all looked with straight faces and stern expressions. The only person who had a smirk on his face was Merle. There were vampires there as well and Jeffery too.

Jessica frowned when she took in the arrangement of the place and how everyone's countenance was. She didn't speak too and didn't ask any questions, just wriggled her way to where her brothers stood looking at the humans kneeling in the middle of the gathering.
