Rose Bailey: My Mate, My Flower Chapter 219

Ebony's POV

"The Royal Council is almost here. I will do all the talking," Jacob said

"Okay," I replied. The Council Members ended up arriving earlier than we had expected. Instead of getting to the Packhouse in the morning, they showed up a few hours after Jacob was told they were coming. 

"Don't worry, Ebony. Everything will be fine," Keith said as he placed his arm around my waist. There was a knock on the front door of the Packhouse, and a guard opened it. Five men wearing golden capes walked inside. They were all older men that looked to be around their mid-fifties. 

"Hello. I am surprised to see the Royal Pack here," Jacob said 

"Hello, King Jacob. We have come because we thought it would be nice to meet your long-lost daughter and our future Queen," One of the men said, and then his eyes landed on mine. "You must be Princess Ebony. Hello, my name is Randell, and I am one of the leaders of the Royal Council. It is nice to meet you finally," Randell said 

'Hello, It is nice to meet you too," I replied

"We heard about the incident that happened earlier tonight," Another Member said 

"Yes, there was an incident where Ebony lost control for a moment, but we are taking care of that,' Keith said 

'How are you taking care of it? Randell asked

"It doesn't matter how they were going to take care of it. We need to fix this before anyone finds out about her wolf. We don't want any of the members causing trouble," one of the Members added.

"Tom, they didn't see her wolf. I think if we stay quiet, everyone will forget what happened," Jacob said 

"I am not willing to take that chance, King Jacob. We have already taken care of it for you anyway," Randell replied

"You didn't?" Jacob said shocked

"Yes, we did. After Alpha Keith and the Princess left the party, we had someone wipe everyone's memory clean. No one that was at the party remembers what happened," Randell said 

I couldn't believe what he said. The Royal Council had someone wipe the Packs memory so they would not remember seeing me use my power. 

"What about the side effect of wiping their memory?" Jacob asked

"they will be fine. Besides, we had to in order to keep her wolf a secret," Randell replied

"Why is it so important for us to hide who we are?" I asked, and everyone looked at me

"Excuse me," 

"Why don't you want us telling anyone that we are white wolves," I asked

"Keep your voice down. It is important nobody finds out for your own good. You have gifts that others will be jealous of," Randell replied.

"Has anyone ever been hurt for being a white wolf?" I asked

"NO, and that is because of the rules that were made years ago to keep your family safe. King Jacob, have you spoken to her about the rules?" Randell asked

"She knows that she is not allowed to tell anyone that she is a white wolf," Jacob replied

"Does she know what will happen if she tells anyone?" Randell added

"No, I haven't told her that yet," Jacob said 

"What will happen?" I asked

"If you tell anyone besides your Mate, they will be killed," Randell said

"What? Why would you kill someone if I tell them I am a white wolf?"I asked

"Because like I told  you before if someone finds out that you are a white wolf and have special abilities they will try to kill you. You are the future Queen of werewoves, and we need to keep you safe from harm," Randell said 

"But what if they wouldn't want to cause me harm? What if I want to tell someone that I trust?' I asked

"Then they will have to die. Why are you asking me this anyway? Have you already told anyone?" Randell asked 

"No, I haven't told anyone about my wolf besides Keith. I was only asking," I replied. I didn't want them to know about Kate, Uncle Mike, and Aunt Lisa knowing about my white wolf. I was sure the Royal Council would kill them without thinking twice about it. 

"I understand that you might have questions, but know that the rules are put in place to protect you. The Royal Werewolf Council was formed to protect the Royal Family. That is what we live to do," Randell said 

"I understand," I said

"That is good. Now that that is out of the way we need we need to talk to you about something else," Randell said 

"What is that?" Jacob asked

"Since the Queen is under investigation, we need to know what you plan to do. We talked a bit about this before you left, and you said that you were planning to have Princess Ebony take her rightful place as Queen if she agreed. Is that what you still plan on doing?" Randell asked

"Yes, I have actually spoken to Ebony a little about that the other day. She said that she was going to think about it," Jacob said. 

I saw Keith look at me for a moment and could feel from our bond that he was surprised about that. I didn't tell Keith about Jacob and my conversation at dinner that night when he said he wanted Keith and me to become King and Queen.

"Have you decided on what you want to do, Princess Ebony? I know that you have discovered you are King Jacob's daughter, but it is important for us to know your thoughts about you becoming Queen," Randell asked. I stayed silent, not knowing what to say. I was still confused about what I wanted to do. 

"My Mate and I need to discuss this before she answers you. She needs some more time to think about what she wants," Keith said

"I understand, but please don't take too long. We need to know if King Jacob is going to stay in power without his Queen or if you and your Mate is going to step up," Randell said 

"Okay. I promise I will give you an answer after I speak to my Mate," I said 

"Okay, we will leave you to it then. King Jacob, would you mind walking us out?" Randell asked

"Of course not," Jacob said, and then he looked at Kieht and me. "I will be back in a minute,"
