Aiden POV
The emergency council meeting burst into chaos before I could even call it to order. Representatives from twelve different supernatural groups shouted over each other, their words echoing off the cave walls like angry thunder.
"You brought vampires into our sacred space!" The River Pack Alpha slammed his fist on the stone table. "My wolves can smell their death magic everywhere!"
"Original Vampires destroyed half of reality!" Elder Thompson from the Mountain Coven pointed an accusing finger at where Dmitri had been sitting just hours ago. "And you expect us to trust them?"
I stood at the head of the table, watching everything I'd worked to build fall around me. For months, I'd encouraged these groups to work together against the Moon Goddess. Now Dmitri's memory revelation threatened to tear apart our only hope of life.
"Everyone needs to calm down," I said, using my Alpha voice. Some of the yelling stopped, but angry whispers continued around the table.
