Offered to the Triplet Alphas

Chapter-61. Liberation

[Xanthea]

Ezra's overflowing bloodlust engulfed every inch of air within and around the Virgo palace.

The time seemed to have come to a standstill within the perimeters. Even the clouds in the sky seemed to have been stained by the sheer darkness of the moment.

Thunder rumbled amongst the looming dark clouds and the winds picked up the pace. I wouldn't be surprised if it rained blood today.

Tearing away Nikolai's head from the ground, Ezra kicked him out of my way.

Going in and out of focus, Nikolai's eyes met mine. Blood trailed down his face, clotting and smearing all over his body and clothes as his agonizing groans rang like alarms in my head.

A certain weight on my chest seemed to have been lifted.

However, at that moment, Nikolai didn't have even a percent of my attention. Ezra had it all.

Alpha King's eyes were fixed on Ezra as though he were looking at a bomb that was about to blast at any moment. He lifted his hand and signaled everyone to maintain a safe distance from Ezra. He seemed to be well acquainted with Ezra's temper. So well acquainted that forget about saving Nikolai, he didn't even try to intervene.

Everyone standing nearby stepped away from Ezra and Nikolai and a few who tried to come to Nikolai's rescue seemed to have done it just for show because not a single one of them had the guts to take even a step closer to the demon lord. Ripples of unease shuddered through the crowd, their nervous fearful glances betraying their act of supremacy.

I scoffed, skimming my eyes across the gathering, unable to process the origin of my smile.

So this is what true power does. It dominates if it wills, intimidates if it wills, and protects if it wills. It can run as wild as it wants and there is nothing anyone could do.

Ezra's eyes glowed even more dangerously, and I just knew if he shifted into his wolf form, it would be the end of the Virgo pack.

I stood where I did before in the puddle of Nikolai's blood.

The first time I encountered Ezra's wrath, I was terrified. I couldn't move, couldn't think properly as I saw the Virgo pack burning. But even then, something felt off.

I looked at Ezra and this time I could see what it was.

Pain.

Extreme, unbearable, unresolved pain.

Everything Ezra was doing for me was something he once wished someone had done for him.
