At least I thought that my words would put John at ease, but the guy turned even more desperate as he increased the pace of his steps, making me do the same.
"John—"
Before my words could reach him, John began to run through the hallway, trying to reach the council room as fast as possible, and—
"I hope we weren't late."
That had led me here, before the entire council, as all the seniors observed us with caution.
Hm?
Maybe it was me whom they were cautious about.
But... why?
"Kael Frost."
My name was called out, making me turn towards the source.
At the head of the table, a guy with black hair and red eyes sat, as he stared back at me.
His skin was pale, and that only went on to magnify his presence.
Sitting beside him was Victoria, the vice president of the student council, so it wasn't difficult to know the identity of the vampire before me.
Leon Black... the heir to House Black, one of the strongest ruling families amongst the vampires.
