Apologize
Nathaniel ran after the alpha but was stopped by Lana. Her brother seemed fine but things changed when he was around.
Noam had been fine and was even looking forward to punishing the family that dared to attack Koran. But then he suddenly just dashed into the house without even saying much.
Her brother was with Nathaniel before he decided to lock himself away. She had Nate to blame for that.
"What did you do to my brother?" She barked at him.
Nathaniel glanced up to see the anger in her eyes. Lana could tolerate anything but not someone who harms her brother. Even making her brother uncomfortable was unacceptable to her.
"I did nothing," Nathaniel defended. He was just speaking to Noam when the alpha suddenly ran off.
He had not done a single thing to offend the alpha. But Lana wasn't having any of it. It was a matter that concerned her brother. The demon should not have done anything to him.
"Will you please tell me what you said to him," Lana inquired? She could not understand anything, she wanted to at least know why her brother was going into isolation.
"I was simply asking if he will let a child die," he informed to her.
Lana was tight-lipped, a nobody dared to question the alpha of the pack. Noam answered to nobody in his life, even she had no right to ask him anything over a decision that was already made.
The real right to make choices and question the final choices of the pack belonged to her brother and her alone.
She wondered what right the demon had to lay a question on her brother. Her blood was boiling just thinking about it. He had gotten kindness from her brother and was thinking that he suddenly had the right to question the alpha's decision.
"Who gave you the right to question my brother?" She questioned him. She was infuriated by his nerve to treat the alpha the way that he did. "You are a demon. You should be grateful to even be alive," Lana added.
Nathaniel looked at her stunned by how fast her mood changed. She went from happy to concern to deadly.
She was really scary. There was a reason that people feared her and he was getting to see firsthand why that was. There was only one person that he had to blame for her change. Noam.
His little sister that used to be so good was now so cold and heartless. She seemed to always be looking for reasons to punish people.
It wasn't right. The alpha had no right to blacken his sister's heart the way that he did. Every time he saw his sister in this light, he was reminded of the reason why he hated the alpha and his kind, to begin with.
"Why are quiet. Give me an answer to my question," Lana demanded feeling her blood rising. She was getting up to her last nerve with Nathaniel.
"I gave myself that right," he replied her. She glared at him, she was so close to jumping on him and tearing him to pieces. She lifted her hand, letting her claws out.
The demon had signed his death warrant and she had no problem giving him what he wants. If death is what he was begging for so badly then death is what he was going to receive.
Her hand swung in the air. Nathaniel got ready to counter it when they both froze in their spots.
Lana's hand had been stopped midair. "Axel, you better leave my hand," she shouted and forcefully yanked the person's hand away.
She turned around and froze. It was not Axel that had saved Nathaniel and stopped her but her brother. Noam stood before her in his true form with a cold piercing look in his eyes.
"I leave for one minute and you create a scene," he let out coldly.
Lana folded her hands into a fist. She had only attacked Nate because she believed that the demon had offended him in some way. But her brother was angry at her for it.
"Apologise to Nate," Noam ordered.
Lana opened her mouth to say something but held herself back. She turned on her heels, she didn't even think to apologize to the man before her, and walked away from the scene.
But in her heart she had marked that day, goodness only knew that revenge was a dish she liked to serve cold.
