novelxo Chapter 340
330-The Angry Princess. Author's POV:
'Call all the guards and alphas of every pack to come here and take my side. Together we need to put her down," Vasquez used his commanding voice and expected at least some of them to follow his orders.
"If you believe the Moon Goddess really has shown you everything, then tell us something--," Brooke was more interested in what Helel had to say than what Vasquez was saying.
'We had lost one of the guns in a very funny places-just the two of us," he continued to point at one of the council members as recalling the incident back when they were preparing for a war and asked Helel about it, who claimed he had seen every single thing in his dream like it was a movie playing before his eyes.
'Where did we find that gun-the same gun that we used to kill one of the biggest warriors of the weredragons?" Brooke had to take a pause as he felt guilty about it. The things they were proud of for a very long time were now a curse to them.
'You dropped it in the alleyway, next to a prostitute's door, and when you arrived at her door, she thought you wanted to sleep with her," Helel said the words without any hesitation, making the two share a glance and gasp.
They never told anyone about it, as losing a gun was not a very good look.
"He is not lying," Brooke declared.
'How does it prove anything? Maybe he did see the truth, but now he wants to defend and protect that girl, so he is lying about what he saw-,' Vasquez interrupted them once again, not ready to take the blame for anything.
'That is enough. We have heard enough,' the oldest council member got up from the couch and sighed sadly, "it is a shame that we believed these two and let them direct us to a war. The two creatures were at a good point of friendship when these two became selfish and started a riot between us. We are ashamed of ourselves for causing so much dismay to a kind for years. I cannot seem to imagine how that girl must have felt when finding out how these evil people fed her brother to their kid. With everything heard and said, I declared this war to end-," his words were met with affirmation, but for Sofia and Vasquez, it was a dead end. 'You are making a huge mistake. Those weredragons are too angry to forgive any of us now," Vasquez told them, alarming them about what kind of danger they were bringing upon themselves by ending the war. 'Do we not deserve it? We will take care of everything, but for now, we need to punish the two who caused this single-handedly," Brooke cleared his throat and pointed at Sofia and Vasquez.
'No! I didn't do anything,' Sofia instantly started shaking her head in panic.
'Actually," Vasquez mumbled, thinking of a plan, "it was all her idea."
His hand pointing in the direction of Sofia caught eyes. They all looked at them as they stared into each others eyes with anger and betrayal.
'He is lying- I didn't. He did it. And he told me there was a way to save my son. It was all his doing. He brought the kid here and accused the weredragons of various crimes against our kind," Sofia claimed loudly, getting angrier by every passing minute when she saw her sons look at her with disgust.
'What? why are you looking at me like that?" Sofia yelled at her boys, "I did it so that I can keep my boy alive. It is not a crime to think about your kids. I would do it again if I got the chance. Heck! I was even going to accept Beatrice until I realized she was a princess. I knew she would become a problem. But am I guilty about it? No!" Sofia screamed, moving around in panic and causing everyone to leave their seats and huddle around her.
'Mom! You killed innocent babies and then accused a whole kind. They all suffered, and you are saying you don't care?* Akin muttered but kept his anger in check. He wanted to approach his mother, so that he can handcuff her.
'No! I am not guilty," she screamed, picking up a vase and throwing it at one of the council members, who dodged it.
"Calm down," Akin was making baby steps toward her because she had broken another vase and grabbed the broken shard in her hand, threatening to end her life.
'I will not let you or any of my sons look at me like that. I didn't do anything wrong. I did it for you guys," she was murmuring and taking steps backward, threatening to end her life if anyone tried arresting her.
'I understand. I understand everything now. Come here!' Akin whispered, passing her a weak smile, "Mom! Please give me that," he finally reached her and held the shard out of her hand and pulled her into a hug. 'I love you; I love my kids," she began to cry, while Akin eyed Helel to get up and handcuff her hands behind her back.
The instant she felt the handcuffs around her wrists, she broke the hug and turned around to face Helel.
'Why are you putting my hands behind my back? How am I going to hug you now?" She was crying and urging Helel to hug her one last time.
Helel stood in his spot, looking at her face, and then said, "you are a criminal. I have no affection for anyone who commits a crime."
That wasn't all. While they were trying to calm down Sofia and take her out of the mansion, Maddox looked around and realized their father had escaped. 'Where is he?" Maddox yelled, grabbing everyone's attention.
'Shit!" Akin cursed, "everyone! Find Vasquez and put him in handcuffs. No matter what kind of orders he gives, just arrest him," he commanded.
