Chapter 161: Interrogation at the Council

"Alpha Sokolov, do you have something to say?" On the other side, in a large chamber, twenty or so men were looking at Killian with the same contemptous gaze.

Killian raised his head and looked at the old man who was sitting at the circular table, his bald pate shining under the lights, and he was glaring at Killian as if Killian had snatched his daughter from him. Something he might have done; he wasn’t sure about it.

He said, "Of course, I do. Do you really expect me to accept this one-sided criticism?" With his fingers interlocked, Killian leaned forward on the table and looked at the elders of the council, all of them looking at him pointedly as if they wished to find a flaw in his stance.

"What is one-sided about this entire report?" said another elder. With his majestic bread that dangled all the way to the floor, he said to Killian, "It seemed quite clear from Noah’s report that you failed in keeping an eye on things, and a lycan from your very own pack hid away a rather valuable good."

"Do you even understand what kind of loss your pack has made the council suffer?!"

Killian remained unfazed even when the rest of the elders banged their fists on the surface of the table, agreeing with what the man had said.

He waited for the applause to subside before Killian pursed his lips and leaned back in his chair. Once the hall fell silent, Killian parted his lips and spoke in a steady and stern voice, "First of all, the siren was a living, breathing creature with her own sentience. No matter how valuable her body might be to the council or the shifters, you cannot just classify her as a good to be used. If not, then what is the difference between the shifters who had used the outcast in the past and us? With what right did you condemn them when you are doing the same, Norman?"
