CHAPTER 20. Decisions Made

  My eyes snapped open as a sudden epiphany came to mind. I did not want to run away after coming this far. If I were to turn around and refuse the throne, then all those words I had told Lady Marie and the others in the council room would be empty words. I would forever be deemed to be someone without any resolve, someone who gave up on my father’s final will. It would haunt me forever. I had to do whatever it took to get on that throne.

  I walked towards the door, feeling Gideon’s eyes following me. “Princess?” he called out.

  “Could you gather the alphas in the council room?”

  “Why? What are you planning to do?”

  “I am going to make a decision.”

  “Cordelia!” He called out, forcing me to stop in front of the door. “Let us think rationally about this. This is a major decision to make and I believe you will need proper time to consider your future with each of them. You must not act rashly.”
