Chapter 22: Gift of a curse...
"You did what?" Kieran bellowed.
The power behind his voice made the glass of a nearby medicine cabinet, which was still intact, tremble for dear life.
Mango shuddered violently as Kieran’s roar shook the very walls of the infirmary as well.
"You made a deal with that devil? Without my consent? You went against my laws, Mango? !"
The floor beneath their feet shook as if struck by an invisible force. Dust rained from the wooden beams above. Even Autumn, who had no idea what was unfolding, took a fearful step back behind Mango, her wide eyes darting between the towering Alpha and the others.
"You think I would willingly invite that viper into our affairs if there was any other choice?" Mango tried to please her case!
Kieran’s chest heaved. The muscles in his arms corded, his fingers flexing like he was imagining wrapping them around someone’s neck!
Mango stood rooted in place, trying to hold her ground as Kieran’s aura pressed down like an avalanche. Her fingers curled into fists as well, as she held her dress, trying to steady herself! "You were dying, Kieran. I was desperate," she whispered, but her voice trembled.
" You should have better let me die than give that bitch a chance...",Before Kieran could launch into another fury, Dax stepped between them, palms raised, chest heaving.
"Alpha! Enough!" he barked, voice firm but respectful. "The Council was here! Fenric and his entire filthy brood.They came while you were unconscious after fighting off those Bloodfangs! I told you they have been using dark magic! It was difficult holding the Council back when they had so many excuses to push us! They gave us an ultimatum. Three days...or they would bring war to our gates!"
Kieran’s eyes flared with rage, but he froze,fists still clenched at his sides, jaw gritting together...breath labored. The room held its breath.
