Chapter 100: Release the Blood Oath

**Piper**

The king let out a loud, bitter laugh, and I cringed against the sound. "Now I know you've lost your mind."

The queen jerked her hand back and huffed. "I have not lost my mind," she snapped. "What other way can you fix this mess you've created? You know Gregory has always been strong-willed, and once he ascends to the Pendragon throne, he'll be completely free to rule as he sees fit. Nothing you or I say will have any influence on him. But his queen will. Do you really trust any of those girls with that sort of power over our son?"

I sucked in a sharp breath. All this time, I'd assumed the king and queen were supportive of this blood oath, that they wanted to unite the Draven and Pendragon Covens, but from the sounds of things, Queen Lucy didn't like this anymore than I did. Maybe she was the key to getting us out of this situation.
