Chapter 96. Holding It Together

Dimitri’s POV

“Will you be able to finish the meeting?” Will asked as they started walking toward the door.

I kept my eyes on Maddie, trying to hold it together. We decided she would go with Ellie and Will while I finished the meeting. I didn’t want her in the same room as him. I didn’t want her anywhere near him.

It was hard as fuck, though. I wanted to keep her next to me. I wanted to make sure that she was safe. I wished that I could just tell the council members to fuck off and kill them just like I would kill my mother, but I couldn’t do that.

“I won’t kill him if that’s what you are asking,” I mumbled, making Will raise an eyebrow at me.

I sighed and tightened my jaw.

“Just keep Maddie safe, okay?” I said, clenching my fists. “I will finish as soon as I can and I will meet you at the training center.”

We agreed that Ellie and Will would take Maddie to the training center. Mike was there and I knew that she would be safe with him
