Elijah shook his head at the mention of Will's duty as a Councillor to find the truth about the Pack, finally speaking up again. "The Council brought him on to protect Vitae from being slaughtered by the Pack," he said evenly. "They're prepared for a war, not negotiations or even understanding." Will looked down at his partner but nodded slowly in agreement, listening as Chase continued. He and Elijah both watched the werewolf, brows raised at the news.
"That didn't make it into the memo," Will remarked dryly. "But it doesn't surprise me. I knew the Council was playing a few things close to the vest, I just wasn't sure what. I'll see what I can dig up on their side of the story, but I can't make any promises other than I'll try to keep your name out of it."
Elijah cleared his throat, interjecting again. "I don't suppose you know the identity of these hostages?"
