The council head and members, who had been non-reactive to things earlier, froze in their places when they saw Zephyr's face.
Wasn't he Maximus, that subordinate who acted as Prince Zephyr's direct manager? Does that mean they were the same person? Then he has been roaming around and watching all their actions for so long, and they didn't know about it?
Daniel was the most shocked and stumbled in his place, remembering the times he had tried to insult Maximus.
Zephyr smiled calmly, the swirl of emotions in his eyes making everyone take a deep breath.
Even Delilah's friends and those alphas remembered Maximus and didn't know how to react to this new information.
Alpha Kristian and Nickolas remembered Maximus always pulling Delilah here and there. Finally, they realized that the truth had always been before them; they just chose to ignore it.
