Chapter 260: An Act of Selflessness
It was obvious that the dragon riders had come here for her, so the woman was asking her to hand herself over for peace.
Riyala’s hand squeezed into a fist as Fredrica pocketed her phone again and then gestured towards the door. Fredrica did not want to fight Riyala, and she didn’t want to kidnap Riyala. She simply wanted Riyala to surrender herself to her people so they could stop the dragons from destroying New Jersey. Riyala seemed to be conflicted for a few seconds, and she put her hand up to her chest while looking around nervously, but it wasn’t long before she stepped forward. Her own life didn’t matter anymore. She couldn’t allow innocent people to die just because she had come to hide here!
A figure stood in front of Riyala, and Riyala looked up to see Alpha staring down at her with a hard gaze. Alpha shook her head and it was obvious that she was not willing to allow Riyala to go. The King’s orders were to protect Riyala, and Alpha took the King’s orders very seriously! But Riyala wasn’t willing to stop. She spoke to Alpha calmly.
"If you can talk to Jason, then please thank him for me. If not for him, then I wouldn’t have lived this long. I would have died a long time ago. But I can’t allow those innocents to die for a choice I made. I’m sorry."
Riyala tried to get past Alpha, but Alpha suddenly reached out and took Riyala by the arm!
"Get your hands off her!"
One of the men at the side reached behind him and immediately grabbed a gun while shouting at Alpha, and it wasn’t long before all hell broke loose in the house! The suited men all grabbed their weapons and pointed them at the Phantoms, and the Phantom sank into the shadows and reappeared behind some men while putting their daggers to their necks!
Bang!
A man shot Alpha in the shoulder, but Alpha easily tanked the bullet and dashed toward the man! She kneed him in the stomach and threw him to the ground, and the man let out a cry as his gun fell away from him!
Griselda and Juliet both crouched down to the ground and put their hands to their ears as gunshots and screams filled the house, but it wasn’t long before everything went quiet again. Griselda slowly opened her eyes to see what was going on, and she felt her eyes widen when she saw Riyala holding a gun to her own head. Riyala was staring at Alpha with tears falling from her defiant eyes, and she spoke with intensity.
