Chapter 64 The Council's Concern

• When he arrived at the council hall, the council elders were eagerly awaiting his presence. Carson respectfully approached the king, bowing down slowly and offering a warm, genuine smile filled with assurance. He empathetically understood the phase the king was currently going through.
• Curiously, Blade asked, "What is it? Why the smile?"
• Blade stared at his second-in-command, Carson, with a longing for the smiles that only his mate had the privilege of bestowing upon him. He couldn't help but be reminded of her smile, and instinctively shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the thoughts about her.
