"Even if we set aside the matter of his soul being pulled to the underworld, he would still die," Evanthe reiterated, her tone serious. "Without the stability that a mate bond can bring, his core will slowly degenerate, leading to a slow death. He would never be able to use his powers again and would die like a human. To keep him alive, having a bond is essential."
As a Queen of one clan and a council member, it was her duty to state the facts related to the matter being raised. She could not afford to be biased.
"Can we have any other female to establish a mate bond with him?" Halifax asked.
Evanthe shook her head helplessly, "It's the hellfire that is protecting his core so it shall be Ember. If he tries to create a mate bond with someone else, hellfire would never let it established."
The silence enveloped the council hall.
Erlos guided shocked Ember back to her chair and stood by her side, offering his support.
