Chapter 246: The lesson
The gates of the eagle tribe closed with a thud as soon as Lyra and Noah entered inside. Eagle guards or the beastmen around didn’t show them any regard as they blatantly glared at the duo with accusing eyes. Lyra walked hand in hand with her mate trying not to care about her surroundings but it was becoming impossible as time passed. She could only imagine how hurt Kyrell must have been for his tribesmen to react like this. She just hoped for him to be okay. That was all she asked for.
After walking for a few more minutes, they finally reached the eagle castle. And the hostility shown by the beastmen outside the castle was nothing compared to the ones inside.
"Stop right there!" a booming voice stopped them from moving further. Noah stepped in front of his mate as the one that shouted at them stood before them and said, "You are not allowed to go any further than this’’
"But we are here to meet, King Kyrell’’ reasoned Noah which received him nothing but a scowl in return.
"We are not allowing you anywhere near our king" There was disdain in his voice when he said those words, "Especially not that selfish female who is responsible for our king’s current condition"
"What did you just say!?’’ Noah growled when that man finished his words. He was ready to tear the one that disrespected his mate into pieces until his mate stopped him from doing so. She tightly held onto his arm before shaking her head, "Please don’t"
Noah frowned, "Baby dove they....."
"Please..." Lyra pleaded halting his words. She was worried for her mate. He was all alone here with hostile ones surrounding them. They probably wouldn’t attack the Prince of the Lion tribe recklessly but there was no guarantee for the things to turn out as she wanted. And the next reason for stopping him was that she was scared. She so badly wanted to see Kyrell and was scared to not be allowed to do that if Noah caused a commotion.
Noah clenched his fists and breathed in making sure to keep his anger in check. He didn’t like this one bit. How anything in this was his mate’s fault? She was not the one that harmed Kyrell. Yes, it was her mates that did it but she did nothing to enable that. It was not like she ordered her mates to beat Kyrell up. And that Kyrell! Where the hell was that bastard leaving his beloved here amidst his disrespecting subordinates?
His thoughts didn’t last long because soon he heard unfamiliar footsteps coming near them.
"Who do we have here?’’ a female’s voice caught both Lyra’s and Noah’s attention, "Isn’t this the wench that harmed my beloved?’’
