Chapter 224

Kael’s POV
That’s my Luna there. The moment she found a threat to her child, she was ready to destroy the world. I couldn’t be more proud of her.
Jeffery, the other council members, and everyone in the council hall stood up in shock as they had not expected a quiet-looking Eira to be this fierce. Or anything like this to happen at all from our side.
“Alpha Kael, I ask you to control your mate,” Jeffery said, his voice furious.
“How can I stop my mate from exercising her rights?” I asked with a smirk.
“What do you mean? What kind of a right does your mate have to attack someone right inside the council?” Jeffery asked. “You have to stop her.”
“The right to protect her child,” I replied.
“Alpha Kael, Ms Lyla is already weak. We urge you to intervene,” Lyla’s spokesperson said.
“It’s between two mothers. We men should stay out of it,” I said and looked at Eira.
Lucian and Jason were not shocked at all, but Roman was surprised. He didn’t want Eira to be in trouble and wished to stop her, but Lucian held him back.
Roman looked back at Lucian only to hear him say. “Leave it to her. Trust me.”
Roman looked at me, and I offered him an assuring gaze.
“You bitch… how dare you Lyla struggled, but was still arrogant.
“Didn’t everyone say here the mother has all the right to protect her child and get rid of every threat?” Eira asked her, her golden eyes turning dark with fury. “And you are that threat.”
She truly got what I had been trying to feed her since yesterday and she didn’t fail me. I knew well her temper was unstable and when it came to her child, she would transcend into a demon. She just did it.
I shouldn’t be taking advantage of her psychic condition, but the situation called for it. We had to protect Roman and Eira was the only rightful way.
And maybe it will also help her realize her true potential and maybe. Using her wolf power might help her get stronger.
“Alpha Kael, you are forcing me to use council guards,” Jeffery warned.
I smirked, “Go ahead.”
“Guards!” Jeffery announced.
But even before the guards could move an inch, they were held back. My Alpha aura once more dominated this council hall and no one could do a shit.
“As I said, let it be between two mothers,” I warned Jeffery, or do you want a reminder from the last time.
The bastard gritted his teeth. “Alpha Kael’s mate,” Jeffery called Eira, “If you harm Ms Lyla, it won’t be good for you.”
In response, Eira talked to Lyla, who got her entire attention. “Still want my child?”
Lyla was equally stubborn. She gripped Eira’s hand that was strangling her. “I can ask anything from my son… You lowly bitch, take your filthy hands off me. If you kill me, all of you will be in trouble… Just you wait how I get the child out of you… and use it…if not, that child of yours looked delicious as well
“You truly don’t deserve to be a mother,” Eira told her as she gripped her neck tighter, “You selfish monster with a rotten heart.”
The next moment, all we could hear and see was Lyla’s pained cry as Eira’s hand already dug into Lyla’s chest like a claw.
This was shocking even for me. I thought Eira would at most snap Lyla’s neck but…
The entire council hall was in uproar, but I didn’t let anyone move ahead.
“Alpha Kael,” Jeffery shouted, “stop her.”
I didn’t intend to. Now the things gotten this far, there was no going back. One thing was absolute and that was Lyla’s death. The woman needed to die, even if meant in this way.
In front of everyone, Eira had pulled Lyla’s heart out of her chest and Lyla’s body slumped onto the ground.
“What did you do, woman?” Jeffery fiercely shouted at her. If he could move, he would have come to kill Eira.
Eira looked at the heart in her hand and then looked at Jeffery. She didn’t have a tinge of remorse for what she did.
“How could you kill someone inside the council?” Jeffery shouted again.
In response, Eira raised her hand that held Lyla’s heart and the next moment her fingers tightened around it to crush that heart.
The blood spilled out of it, staining her face and clothes, but she didn’t care.
She fiercely met Jeffery’s eyes and answered his question, “Just like this. Wasn’t much difficult,” She smirked wickedly.
She looked like a crazy one who had no emotions in her.
I felt something was wrong. It was not her. The way of killing someone, she didn’t need to do it this way. Who taught her this? When?
I looked at my three brothers. They all were equally surprised as me. I got my answer.
Rafe?
She slept with him last night. Realisation got me. I sighed. I’ll deal with it later once I am home.
“Jeffery,” I called for the bastard and looked around the council hall to everyone. “As your own rule says, the mother can do anything to protect her child, so my mate saw this woman Lyla as a threat to her child, a child which she would bear with Roman. So as a mother, she got rid of a threat. My mate has done nothing wrong. Threat is a threat and Lyla’s intentions are already clear to this council.”
At the same time, I retracted my Alpha aura.
All the council members could only be quiet as they couldn’t refute my claim. Then, quickly Lyla’s spokesperson came to her. The woman was dead.
He looked at me, and I raised a brow to dare him to say a word. The man kept quiet. No guard came towards us as well.
“This matter is over. We are leaving,” I announced and went to Eira.
She had truly made it easy for us today, though the her way was surprising. She was a saviour for Roman.
She looked at me, calm and composed now as she had killed the threat.
I pulled out the handkerchief from my pocket and wiped bloodstains from her face. I held her bloodied hand and wiped it.
“Bear with it for a while more. We will wash this rotten blood off you once we are home.”
She hummed while I looked at the three. The other two were by Roman’s side all the time as per my instructions.
I held Eira’s hand and turned to Roman, “Want to take a look at that woman for the last time?”
Roman shook his head. “No need. I don’t know her.” Thɪs chapter is updated by.net
I offered a formal bow towards the council members and left with my brothers while holding Eira’s hand, under the angry gazes of council members.
It was truly satisfying.
Rafe.
Once I was home, he needed to do some serious answering.
I hope at least he hadn’t taught Raven anything absurd in our absence, and I hope to find the home just as we had left it.
But, knowing Rafe, somewhere in my heart, I knew I shouldn’t be expecting anything good.
