Devon's statement that the Elders were family earned a scowl from Isabella who looked livid but was still keeping herself calm.
She smiled lightly,
"Oh, They are family? Well, why wouldn't you consider them as family now that you are really chummy with them." She said.
The brothers shared a look before sighing. Isabella's words showed that she was aware of the meetings the two had had with the elders and most likely knew what had been discussed in those meetings as well.
While it was truly against their mother's wishes that they even entertain the idea of bringing the Elders back into Dane family decision-making, the brothers felt it was the right thing to do.
The Elders were not there for nothing and while it was true that they occasionally overstepped their boundaries and could be quite callous at times, they were necessary to keep the branch families in line.
