Alpha's Remorse After Her Death (Amber and Julian) novel Chapter 306

“You banned me from the hospital,” I said.

One of the braver council members spoke up. “Your cousin didn’t believe it was wise for you to speak with your mother anymore, as she is so confused. You seem to be filling her mind with lies.”

“Is that what Tony told you?” I demanded. “Did it occur to you that he is the liar? That he is the one who has been poisoning my mother with wolfsbane? That he attacked my mate and did the same to her?”

“Those are serious accusations,” said another council member. “I trust you have proof.”

“The word of my mother and my mate.”

“Your mother is not in a healthy state,” said a third. “And your mate is bound to you. She would say whatever you need her to say.”

“You could have spoken up for yourself,” said the first who had spoke. “We had a hearing, but you did not attend to defend yourself.”

“I’m here now,” I said.

The leader shrugged. “It’s simply too late.”

Tony answered with a laugh. “Been too long, cousin. I’m guessing you aren’t a fan of the changes
