At The Party X: Decision

At Adam's statement, there was silence in the hall.

I looked at the lycan king. He was brooding, like really brooding, almost sulking on the fact that his son was not on his side.

"My daughter can not lie. She wouldn't say what she didn't see." He said, reaffirming what he had mentioned earlier.

There was murmuring in the crowd too. A lot of people were saying a lot of things, and with my enhanced hearing, I could hear a lot of what they were saying. Some between two people. Some between three. Snippets actually.

'Do you think that Naomi and Maya stole the relic?'

'The girl is smarter than she looks.'

'She is also a thief?'

'I think Claire planned this one?'

'Does Claire hate her that much?'
