Chapter 9 The Syndicate Has Demands For The King

Lazarus de Loughrey

“You have a human mate.” Her voice laced with sweet venom, “Now you will produce an heir.”

“Time is ticking.” He threatened with a polished tone. “Lazarus, this is your final chance.”

“I will fulfil my duties.” I replied mechanically.

The other female releases a deranged laugh, her high-pitched voice grating on my nerves. “You’ve said that before. I heard human mates’ fertility skyrockets when mating with a wolf. It’s perfect for breeding, even you can’t fuck this up.”

Their voices echoed within the pavilion, their faces concealed within the shadows, they were known as The Syndicate. Comprised of seven Elders graced with immortality, unknown to the public and I was never granted the privilege of seeing their faces or their names.

Everyone assumed I wasn’t governed by rules, and that I had access to immeasurable power without consequences. I answer to The Syndicate, I follow their rules and regulations without any voice of my own.
