No one seemed to disagree with his announcement, so Killian nodded to Morgan to proceed.
Morgan was on his feet. “For those in favor of Devon’s life being spared, raise your hand.”
Morgan spoke.
And without hesitating, I lifted a hand. I glanced around, and I was the only one in support of this motion. My eyes fell on Morgan, and I sent a pleading look his way. This was someone’s life on the line.
Morgan visibly exhaled, slowly lifting his hand up.
A smile found my lips.
“For those against it,”
Morgan spoke up again. My eyes widened as I looked around and everyone had their hand in the air. My blue eyes drifted to Killian.
He wasn’t looking at me. His eyes scanned around the ranked members whose hands were up. After a while, everyone dropped their hands down.
“Alpha,”
Morgan turned to Killian. Everyone’s eyes were on him, awaiting his own vote.
I held my breath at Killian’s silence. His eyes were coldly drawn to mine. I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
“I vote against it.”
He spoke coldly.
Something within me shattered, watching my very last hope falter before me.
Naomi’s point of view
“I vote against it,”
Killian said coldly. His words resounded in my ears. This can’t be. I couldn’t think clearly as my every thought fell on Devon. He just can’t lose his life like this.
I met Killian’s cold stare. His dark amber eyes were pulled away from me and back to everyone else in the court.
“The prisoner has to die,”
Killian said again.
I was frozen in my seat, rage seething through me. My furious gaze pierced at him, but Killian didn’t even look my way.
I don’t know exactly what I was thinking about trusting him. What on earth was I expecting from a bloody bastard like him?
Even though I didn’t fully trust him to stand up for Devon, somewhere deep down a part of me hoped he would do it for me.
But I was mistaken. This Alpha was still very much heartless.
“Everyone has voted. And as usual, the majority wins.”
Killian leaned on the round table. “Devon knows about the curse, making him a threat to us, and so he will be executed immediately.”
Killian sounded firm, and everyone nodded in agreement, leaving no room for further discussion.
All the while, I didn’t shift my eyes from Killian, and he intentionally avoided looking my way.
“You will be in charge, Morgan. Take care of his execution.”
He turned to Morgan, Allen, and Mason, then to everyone else. “The meeting has ended.”
At his words, everyone was up from their seats and they began exiting the court. But I remained motionless in my seat, and so did Killian, until it was just the two of us within the court’s corner walls. “Why Killian?”
I said.
Finally, Killian turned his eyes to me. I could see absolutely nothing in those eyes of his. Not even an ounce of guilt for what he did to me. This was the first time I had desperately wanted him to take my side, to help me. But he couldn’t even do that. I felt my eyes sting with tears from the sudden pain I felt in my chest.
Killian still didn’t reply.
Without uttering a word, I jerked up from my chair, walking away. But Killian grabbed my wrist, pulling me to a stop.
“Let go of me, Killian,”
I yelled, burning with so many emotions. Rage and pain stalked my veins. I snatched my hand away from him, moving away from him but he held me again, turning me to face him.
“Naomi, calm down.”
He held me firmly to his body. “Listen to me.”
He began, but I pushed myself away from his strong hold, my hand slamming hard against his cheek.
Killian froze. His stare on me was completely void of all emotions as the sound of the slap kept echoing within the walls of the court.
“I don’t want to hear anything you have to say, Killian.”
I was screaming, tears threatening to burst from my eyes. I begged you for just one thing, to help me save him, and now Devon will be executed. I hate you, Killian.”
I left him alone in the court, rushing to my chamber.
As soon as I was in, I collapsed on the bed, allowing the tears I had fought back to fall. I felt a burning rage directed at Killian and immense pain. I don’t know if it was from Killian’s betrayal or the cold fact that Devon was being executed at this moment. And I couldn’t save him. I buried my face in my palm, tearing up. I just couldn’t hold my tears back.

It was way past midnight already. I could no longer hear the loud chatter of everyone and the merriment from the bonfires. It seemed like everyone had probably retired for the night. But I haven’t or rather still couldn’t. I was still in bed. And I haven’t moved a muscle from my position yet, I could feel the puffiness of my eyes already. Even my long lashes felt heavy and too tired.
The door to my chamber was pulled open unexpectedly. My brows creased furiously as I lifted my head to find Killian’s huge figure in the darkness. He was standing in the doorway, staring at me.
“Can’t you knock before barging into my chamber?”
Every word I muttered, held a certain rage brewing in my bones.
I heard him sigh deeply as he leaned against the door. But he didn’t take a step further inside. “Get dressed and come out now.”
His voice was cold.
“Like f**k I will, Killian.”
I half yelled. “Get out!”
