Chapter 218: But he always wore his disapproval silently...
Selene POV
"Noah, please!" I latched my hand tightly through Noah’s arms, some people were already glancing in our direction and from the thick tension present, I was worried that they might throw blows at any time. Especially Xavier who looked agitated. "Darling," I tried again and this time he looked at me. I palmed his face in my hand, with a small smile on my face. "He’s not worth it, let’s just go,".
He nodded and kissed the top of my forehead before he reached my hand and we started walking towards our car. When we got to the car and made to get in, Xavier’s father suddenly came up to us, a dangerous look on his face. He had a smile on that didn’t reach his eyes.
"Your Majesty!" he started stiffly "May I ride with you? There’s something of utmost importance that I must discuss with you," he said.
"If this is about Nora, please forget it!" Noah said coldly "I don’t care if she’s going to release all her demons, as far as I am concerned, she’s going to be punished for what she has done. She has gotten away with a lot of things but threats on my step-kids and soon-to-be legal children, I cannot forgive. She crossed the line, Steele,".
"She is not okay! Noah!" Alpha Steele said through gritted teeth "You know this... we all know this. Everything is not fine with her. She needs help, lots of it. Putting her in that enclosure will only make things worse. At least outside, she can be controlled... I am willing to bet you that in a few more days, she’ll practically start attacking her fellow inmates,".
"You don’t have to worry about that!" Noah gave him a dry smile "I know my sister as much as you do if not more and I had anticipated that she would do something like that. So, I did the right thing and had her put in the maximum-security cell. It’s a place built for the hardened of hardened criminals and since we cannot stand her unleashing her wolf, that is the best way to go about it, I’m afraid,".
"You threw Nora in a maximum-security prison?" Alpha Steele’s eyes widened with disbelief and horror "I can’t believe you’d do that, not after everything she has given for you. Those years when she had to take care of you as a child until you grew up. Is this how you can repay her,".
"I am doing her a favour. Letting her loose is like allowing a rogue to exploit your pack. Nora is dangerous. All these years of managing and trying to pamper her didn’t work and now we have to use a more aggressive approach but..." Noah raised his hand "I am still taking care of her. Makes sure she’s properly fed and has everything she wants. On the day of the trial, we’ll go to her instead and don’t try anything stupid, Steele...,".
