Chapter 279: _The Price Of Loyalty Is Death
Kaelos’ POV
*****
I swear to the goddess, sitting in this throne room under the scrutiny of these Alpha Kings was agitating.
I could barely hold back my anger as each of them dared open their mouths to pass judgment as if any of them were saints.
Alpha King Maddox of Australia especially.
That bastard had run conquests during the war that led hundreds of his soldiers to their unnecessary demise while he sat in the comfort of his high throne... But no one batted an eye.
But now, when it came to the murder of an Alpha King who had threatened the stability of peace among werewolves, not just in this continent but the others... It became a problem.
"What I’m saying is... We let Alpha King Kaelos defend himself and share his side of the story." Luna Queen Janelle muttered calmly, sipping her cup of tea before adding. "Then we can pass judgment."
I clenched my jaw, resting my hands comfortably on the armrests of my throne.
The other Alpha kings stared at me with hidden disdain, silently waiting.
"Well, go on, Alpha King Kaelos." Alpha King Soren of South America said with a scoff, placing his hand on his jaw expectantly. "How do you hope to defend yourself against such a grave crime?"
I stared at the young man with a small smirk threatening to twitch at the corner of my lips. I could tell he was enraged about his parents’ deaths at the hands of the Lord of the North.
