Chapter 397
Chapter 397:
I stood with my arms crossed, watching with the rest of the people as the offenders were brought forward. I’d rather be in my Pack, enjoying the confines of my room like I’d been doing for the past week. How unfortunate they had to drag me out to this place.
The three offenders were dropped to their knees in front of me, their hands chained behind their backs. They all looked at me like I had their lives in my hands—and that I did.
“I’m sure you’re all aware of the reason you’ve been brought here?” I began, my voice bored as a monotonous drone echoing in a silent room. “You’ve been wreaking havoc on the people, something you’ve all been explicitly warned not to. Perhaps”—I looked around them—”my words are suddenly considered a joke p>
“Never, my King!” one of them said with his head bowed. “What happened was a misunderstanding. They stepped on our toes; it’s only right that we fight back p>
“They think that as Wolves from a higher rank, they’re allowed to mess with us and get away with it p>
I was seriously tired of hearing the same story—the lower ranks feeling intimidated by the higher ranks and using it as an excuse to attack them. It was dumb.
“So that’s enough reason to start a fatal fight?” I cocked my brow. “You’re aware that four innocent people died from the fire, right p>
They lowered their heads in obvious shame. I stopped walking behind them.
“You’ll have to face the penalty—my judgment p>
Without hesitation, I plunged my hand into the chest of one from behind. A horrified scream filled the air as I wrenched his heart free, and his body dropped to the ground.
I continued, pulling out the heart of the second one. His body dropped to the ground as well. The third offender tried to run, but it was useless since he was in chains. I pulled his heart free as well.
“No!!! Banas Someone dropped to her knees, crying for one of the corpses. Shocked gasps rippled through the space, some of the women even stepping away.
Holding out my hand to Kael, he placed a napkin in it with which I wiped the blood off. Then I proceeded to the car.

Nerion was already in the driver’s seat, and Kael joined me in the backseat. I already expected his words based on the judgy look he gave me. “You shouldn’t have done that, you know? That was a little too far p>
I pulled a magazine from my seat and pretended to be interested in the pages. “Do you have a better judgment, Kael? Maybe you should talk to the people to make you King,” I said without even looking at him or feeling the slightest bit of guilt for not filtering my words.
He shook his head before staring out the window. I honestly didn’t know what his problem was. A lot of people have been getting on my nerves lately. It was time someone paid.
Nerion started the car and we began our journey to the airport.
