Chapter 157

Inez whipped her head and turned to look at the siren who was being held by the guards. The woman was writhing in agony as she looked at her mate, whose head had been pressed on the ground, right in front of Noah s feet. At some point the lycan s words had offended Noah, who stared at him with the deepest repulsion.

"Kill him", without showing the slightest bit of mercy, Noah commanded. "He has committed the crime of keeping a siren under him without letting the council know when we have strictly stipulated that no one is allowed to do such a thing. It means only one thing Execution!"

Before anyone could move, Inez broke free of Killian s grasp and shouted, "No!"

Her actions caused the guards of the council to look at her, and even though she was scared of so many people looking at her at once, she still looked at the man defiantly and said to him, "You cannot kill him. He was scared that you would kill his mate, which is why he hid her from you and everyone else. You cannot blame him for it because his fear was legit and defined."

Noah stared at her as if he had never seen anything like her before. A second later, however, his expression cooled down, and he stated in a quiet voice, "Be that as it may, there is no explanation for him breaking the law. The council has made it widely known that no one can keep a siren or another outcast without letting them know and unless permitted. What he had done was nothing but a sin!"

"Thats "

"That s enough, Inez." Before she could say anything else, Selene reached out and pulled her back. "You need to calm down. I understand that you are feeling sorry for them, but we are not above the council. Unfortunately."

Inez turned to look at Selene, who shook her head at her. She knew that Selene was telling her to stop, as it would only attract attention to herself but she really couldn t bear the thought of the lycan being killed just because he protected someone whom he loved and cared for.

However, she knew that she couldn t do anything for them.

With her heart heavy, she turned to look at the man who had stopped struggling as if he had accepted his fate. He raised his head and looked at Noah before saying to him, "You will face the same fate, Fuller. One of these days, you will suffer the pain that I am going through. I curse you!" He spoke so powerfully that his voice reverberated in the clearing.

However, Noah remained calm, looking not even the slightest bit fazed by the words that the lycan spoke. "Well, I will remember you if I face such a fate. However, I wonder if I would ever face such a stupid fate, as I would never make a mistake like you." noveldrama

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the guard next to him, who didn t even blink as he stepped forward. Taking out the sword that he was carrying in the sheath, he raised it in the air and brought it down heavily.

"AH!" Selene gasped as she covered her eyes with her hands while Inez turned around and buried her face into Killian s shoulder. Even if she was brave, she couldn t see the horrendous sight in front of her.

"ARGHHHH!!!" The mournful scream of the siren echoed in the clearing. There was so much pain and anguish in that one cry that everyone in the clearing felt their hearts tremble.

Inez turned her head to the side and watched the siren staring at the decapitated body of her lover. Her eyes were blank, and so was her face. For two seconds, the siren didn t move; however, a few seconds later her eyes turned a fierce gold as her teeth turned jagged, longer and sharper.

Before the guards could understand what was going on, the siren turned around and bit off the arm of the guard who had been holding her down. The guard let out a painful scream as he let go of the siren, leaving the other shifter to struggle with her, only for the siren to lunge at him as she scratched off his face.

Blood sputtered all over the ground, and a bunch of guards rushed forward to stop the siren. However, the siren seemed to have gone crazy; they held bloodthirst in them.

Noah noticed that the woman was about to turn wild and wouldn t be compliant; he turned to look at his men and said, "Tie her up!"

However, before the men could even make a move, the siren ran towards the guard who was still holding the sword in his hands and impaled herself on the very same sword that had taken the life of her mate.

The siren stopped struggling, and her lips moved

The next moment, Inez heard a voice in her head.

"Avenge me... my....my...la..."

Before Inez could catch what the woman was saying, she felt a sharp sting in her head, which made her swoon. Killian reached out and held her in his arms just as the light in the eyes of the siren disappeared.

As the siren died, her appearance changed, and she no longer looked as pretty as she was when she was in her human form. Her legs turned into a long tail while her skin started to turn scaly as wings erupted from her back, and her face hooked and turned into that of a bird.

Her eyes turned into slits and her face turned hideous as she fell on the ground; the guard whose sword she impaled herself on turned pale. He turned and said to Noah, "I didn t mean to! She she did it so fast that I didn t even have time to pull my sword back."

"She ran towards you and you stood like a fool and you dare say that you are at no fault?" Noah snapped. "After we return, go to the punishment room."

The guard turned pale upon hearing the command of his leader, but didn t refute it.

Noah then turned to look at Inez, whose face was exceptionally pale and questioned, "What happened to her?"
