"So, you're saying you wish to form an elite group that directly follows you. Separate from the council, you'll have logistics, economics and clan politics dealt with by the current twelve clans and this council of six will be your direct subordinates?"
Ivan's eyes scanned his son. He felt how much he had changed over the past six months, more now than ever before.
"Yes father, I will create a council who are highly trained, loyal and able to aid us in the fight against our enemies."
"Do you have candidates in mind?"
Nikolai's lips curled into a smile as he nodded before pointing to several names. "I want to invite non-werewolves. Can you accept this?" Although the alliance didn't specify just werewolves, his son's words caused Ivan to freeze on the spot.
"You...!"
'This is the first time I've managed to stun my dad.'
At first, he expected his father to become enraged, but Ivan swallowed his words and breathed deeper, his sharp silver eyes focused on his son.
