Sold To The Alphas I Hate - Chapter 222

Chapter 222: At The Council
Lucian’s POV

We reached the council hall. When we stepped out of the car, unfortunately that bitch had arrived at the same time, Lyla Ashridge.

The old hag, covered in layers of makeup to hide her sickly appearance, turned to us the moment she saw us and came to stand in front of us.

She smirked as she gazed at us all and then settled her eyes on her son.

“You should have listened to me when I asked you nicely. But you avoided me, my messages, calls, even meeting me and made me go to your Alpha,” she said with a mocking tone, “But sadly your always so smart Alpha didn’t understand me as well. So it’s your fault that you all are dragged here at the council, and our private matter would be public. Everyone will know how you have to bow in front of your mother whether you want it or not.”

“You are not my mother,” Roman said, barely containing his anger.

“You shouldn’t have been born out of me to say it,” the woman said smugly, “You can’t change the fact whose blood flows into you and your are one powerful Alpha just because of me. Only a pureblood shewolf can birth pureblood child. So you should thank me for giving birth to you, ungrateful bastard. You have to keep repaying me for bringing you into this world till you take your last breath. And today, I am going to make you realise it in the hardest way.”

Roman clenched his fists and was about to go to her, but I put my hand on his shoulder to keep him calm.

But the surprise was Eira.

She was standing next to him and held his arm to stop him. Jason standing behind us, both of us were surprised but glad that she cared for Roman.

Lyla looked at Eira. “So, you are here as well. Good. You are the one who’s going to save my life. You better be fertile to conceive at once,” Lyla said.

“Shut up,” Roman warned her. “I don’t plan to have a child with her so you can just dream on.”

“Don’t worry, council will make you do it,” the woman smirked and looked at Eira, “Your child is mine.”

Eira simply glared at her, ready to say something but….

Kael took a step and stood in front of Roman and her, standing like a wall between them and Roman’s mother. At the same time he didn’t want that woman to provoke Eira yet.

“Ms Lyla, we aren’t in front of the council yet,” Kael said, calm and composed, “the argument hasn’t been made, so I advise you to be patient. Who knows who’s going to take their last breath today. So tread carefully.”

She scoffed. “Sure. Let’s see,” and she walked inside the council hall along with her security guards.

The bitch was living life in luxury while she left her kids to die. How I wish her to survive for long only to die the most painful death, regretting every moment she hurt her kids.

Once she left, Roman said, “Kael, I am telling you. You shouldn’t have stopped me. That woman is evil. It’s not too late yet. I can still….”

Kael turned to look at him and said, “Are we less evil?” Kael looked at Roman’s hand where Eira was holding it. “Even Eira knows what’s good at this moment.”

Roman followed his gaze to his own hand and then looked at Eira. The bastard didn’t realize she was worried for him. How could he miss this moment?

But then, he didn’t know we had told her about his past which made her sympathise with him.

Eira let go of his hand quickly as if she didn’t mean it and said with hesitation, “You should listen to your brothers… That woman doesn’t really seem nice…”

She was not used to showing her care openly towards us so that was understandable; at least she cared in her heart.

“Let’s head inside,” Jason said, “Don’t forget we have left Raven with the devil himself. We have to finish here faster.”

The thought of Raven made us hurry inside. We knew the result would be in our favor as losing wasn’t Kael’s forte.

He never lost. As a pack leader, he was always prepared for everything. So all we had to worry about was our little guy being left with a bastard vampire.

The way he infuriated me, I was still salty about it. I will show the bastard later what it meant to mess with me.

As we entered the grand council hall, we took the left side of the council and the right one was that bitch’s. She was accompanied by a few men in suits, who seemed to have been appointed for her by the rich bastard she had been sleeping with.

The five council heads arrived and took their seats. As always we had a few more people from different packs to keep watch on council hearings, but mostly to side with the council as usual.

Jeffery sat in the center chair and looked at us. His displeased gaze showed he hadn’t yet forgotten how he was overpowered by Kael’s aura last time and how our Alpha had mocked his authority here.

I am sure this time he would be careful in front of Kael.

All of us settled in the chairs that faced the opposite party. Once everyone was ready, Jeffery announced as he looked at Lyla,

“You may begin.”

Lyla’s spokesperson stood up. “As we have already submitted the documents noting the concern of Ms Lyla, I would like the council to make a quick decision as this matter can’t be delayed. It’s about the life and death of a person.”

As expected, Jeffery was already aware of the matters and was here to pretend for his role. He must have been already bribed to take the decision on Lyla’s side.

Jeffery looked at Roman. “Alpha Roman, do you have anything to say?”

Roman stood up. “Yes. I don’t agree with what this woman is asking for. She can die and go to hell. No rule of yours can compel me to fulfill her sick wishes.”
