“We didn’t want to lose her. I'd rather have her hate me than not have her around,” I said, hoping it was the right thing to say. “We can’t lose her. That’s why we want this.”
“We did dumb things for love,” he said, coming to her and wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “They at least aren’t wasting years like we did.”
“We just want to make it right,” King pleaded.
“You’re lucky he’s here.” She glared at us.
I shivered wondering how bad that could have gone if Alaric hadn’t intervened. Now, all we had to worry about was Ally, and that was our biggest hurdle.
“You may proceed to the room.” A woman opened the door and allowed us out.
The triplets looked at us.
“You sure you are ready to do this?” Winchester sighed.
“Yes,” we said together.
The last few days had cemented our decision, that this one was the right one.
“I think it's admirable,” Ruger said.
“It’s actually romantic,” Maverick said.
I rolled my eyes, trying to play it cool even if it was what I was going for.
“Let’s hope it works,” King said, pulling his skull mask up and so did I.
“You could always beg,” Maverick smirked.
“If I thought that was enough, that's the first thing I would have done,” King said before leaving the room.
“Let’s go get your girl, boss,” the triplets said together.
They were so creepy when they spoke like that, but damn I was going to miss them.
“Let’s do it,” I said, following King, as we walked down the familiar hallway and into a room that had all the familiar town leaders waiting for us.
I immediately looked for Ally and there she was with Roman and Lance behind her. She looked gorgeous in a red and black jacket with her red hair pulled back in a tight, red ponytail. Her expression was fierce as she looked around the room, but there was an underlying look of worry.
King and I walked to our designated seats. She looked at each of us, relief crossing her beautiful face. What was she worried about? Roman came up to her shoulder, saying something fast before she shook her head and he went back to standing beside Lance. We took our seats as King and I stole a glance at each other, and it seemed her nervousness hadn't gone unnoticed.
A door slammed shut loudly, with the sound of heels coming closer. The Mayor came closer, studying all of us as she walked towards the head of the table with Alaric, a woman—who might have been her other lover—and her twin brothers. She sat down with Alaric and the other woman on the other side of her and her brothers behind her.
“We give thanks,” the Mayor said.
“We give thanks,” the leaders repeated.
“We have a few orders of business,” she said leaning forward. “First order of business.”
She looked over to us, and I looked over to the Triplets. They walked over to the lead of Easter Town, Lapin, the man who was in charge of spies, new identities and information. Winchester picked him up and slammed him on the table. Maverick and Rugger had their guns pointed at his second and third in command.
“What the fuck is this?” he snarled against Winchester’s hold.
“Hiding and helping a former head of a town, while helping them traffic girls, do we learn nothing from the past?” The Mayor snarled.
“She was fair game!” he panicked.
“You gave the information to have her stolen and countless other girls,” the Mayor snapped. “Did you think your involvement would not be found?”
