Councilman Aldren scoffed loudly, the sound sharp and full of contempt as he looked at the Dark Lord coldly," "Since when did we need qualifications to deal with riffraff? You stand here acting as if you belong, when your very presence stains this land. But since you are here, already, it is okay. I will let your blood cleanse this place."
Even as Aldren vowed these words, the man in black did not react the way many expected.
Instead, Aron smiled. And as expected, it was as captivating as anything.
Then he shrugged lightly, as if the words ant very little to him. "You are my bride’s biological father," he said calmly. "So I won’t argue with you. If you need my blood, you can try to take it."
The word seed to strike harder than any insult.
Aldren’s face twisted with rage and his composure cracked completely. "I have no relation to the dark witches or their lord!" he spat. "My only regret in this life is failing to kill your bride when she was born, like I had killed my other off spring to prevent your return. If only, my mate had not saved her and run away, you would not have had a chance to return!"
A collective gasp swept through the crowd. Because this was indeed a revelation. For years, Aldren had moved in seclusion and everyone had assud that it was because his fated mate and child had been killed by the enemies. But no one could have thought that it was he himself who killed their fated mate... A mate that was blessed by the Moon Goddess and Aldren dared to kill her...
Before anyone could react over the horror of the truth, Aldren moved.
He shifted into a Golden wolf and charged at the man... Tonight was the night of the Golden Moon so the power of the Golden Wolf was also at its peak. Everyone held their breaths.
But the large wolf never reached his target. Because a figure stepped between them in a flash.
Emira moved without hesitation. She caught Aldren’s wrist mid-attack, stopping him cold. The impact sent a sharp ripple through the air. Then, with a force that stunned everyone watching, she shoved him back.
As Aldren stumbled several steps, barely managing to keep his footing, he changed back to his human form, glaring at her as a large red mark appeared on his forehead. "What did you do?" He growled. No one could have guessed that he’d had no intention of changing to his human form, it was just that his wolf seed to have disappeared the mont her hand touched him...
Emira stood firmly between him and the Dark Lord, as she glared at the man coldly. Finally, it was ti for her revenge... "I have not yet avenged my mother’s and my siblings’ death.
