Chapter 157: Avenge Me
Inez whipped her head and turned to look at the siren who was being held by the guards. The woman was writhing in agony as she looked at her mate, whose head had been pressed on the ground, right in front of Noah’s feet. At some point the lycan’s words had offended Noah, who stared at him with the deepest repulsion.
"Kill him", without showing the slightest bit of mercy, Noah commanded. "He has committed the crime of keeping a siren under him without letting the council know when we have strictly stipulated that no one is allowed to do such a thing. It means only one thing—Execution!"
Before anyone could move, Inez broke free of Killian’s grasp and shouted, "No!"
Her actions caused the guards of the council to look at her, and even though she was scared of so many people looking at her at once, she still looked at the man defiantly and said to him, "You cannot kill him. He was scared that you would kill his mate, which is why he hid her from you and everyone else. You cannot blame him for it because his fear was legit and defined."
Noah stared at her as if he had never seen anything like her before. A second later, however, his expression cooled down, and he stated in a quiet voice, "Be that as it may, there is no explanation for him breaking the law. The council has made it widely known that no one can keep a siren or another outcast without letting them know and unless permitted. What he had done was nothing but a sin!"
"Thats—"
"That’s enough, Inez." Before she could say anything else, Selene reached out and pulled her back. "You need to calm down. I understand that you are feeling sorry for them, but we are not above the council. Unfortunately."
Inez turned to look at Selene, who shook her head at her. She knew that Selene was telling her to stop, as it would only attract attention to herself but she really couldn’t bear the thought of the lycan being killed just because he protected someone whom he loved and cared for.
However, she knew that she couldn’t do anything for them.
