Chapter 821: Yes, he did
Jedrek statement aroused many criticizes and disapproving voices from the centaurs and hunters, while the lycanthropes only creased their brows and looked at each other, couldn't understand why would Jedrek make such a statement.
Weren't they here to join forces to fight the devils? Why would he want to kill all of the centaurs again? Did this king wanted to create a fuss before the war? Did he turn crazy and want to exterminate them again? Just like what he did in the past?
Despite the fact that the lycanthropes didn't get along with the centaurs or the people that Kace had invited to come to this realm, but in long run, it would be a disadvantage for them to lose those creatures that way.
"Jedrek!" Kace snapped at him when he heard that, he forced his brother to face him. He didn't even falter with the way Jedrek glared at him viciously, as if he would tear his face if he kept insisting to defy him. "You promised me you will never hurt them! Your problem is with Chiron and not all of them!"
"I will not hurt them if they told me where is their f*cking chief!" he cursed loudly. His entire body was shaking in his attempt to keep his beast at bay.
"I will not tell you anything about Chiron!" Zarrn stated. He didn't know what the problem with this king, but they wouldn't let him have his hands on Chiron if he threatened them this way. "Kace you told us that you would ensure our safety after we agreed to come here and join the war with you!" Zarrn looked at Kace in disappointment.
However, Kace snapped at him instead. "SHUT UP!" He roared. "If you don't know anything, shut up!" What Zarrn said, it would only trigger Jedrek further and the bad situation now would only become worse.
Zarrnwas slightly taken aback with the way Kace told him to shut up. He growled and stomped his hooves hardly on the ground. This action was followed by the other centaurs. This was a sign that they were ready for a confrontation.
"Stop doing that!" Kace grabbed Jedrek's shoulder with the help of Raphael. "Carina! Talk something! You tell me where is Chiron now!" in his struggle to stop Jedrek, Kace glared at the female centaur. He was more than upset with her silence.
"Don't say anything Carina!" Zarrn spoke beside her. "Go back to our people."
At that time, Jedrek finally spoke. His voice laced with aggravation and as cold as an ice block. If words could kill, maybe the king's next words could transform into a million sharp blades that would cut them.
"Your chief has kidnapped my mate." Jedrek stopped struggling and stood there, glowered at Carina, who kept her head very low, in order to avoid his eyes.
That statement created another wave of voices among the creatures.
The Centaurs and the hunters denied that accusation, while the lycanthropes voiced out their anger, after all, hurting their mates was a bottom line for them. As the most possessive creatures, no one should mess with their mates.
"LIAR!"
"You are a liar!"
"There is no way Chiron would do that!"
"He is trying to defame our chief!"
Many angry voices aroused from Jedrek's statement, as the sound of their hooves became even louder and aggressive. However, on the other hand, the lycanthropes didn't just stay in silence, they snarled back at the centaurs.
If this situation was left like this for a little bit longer, there would be another bloodshed here and Jedrek didn't mind it at all if those lycanthropes finished off those wretched centaurs. All he needed now was Carina.
If he couldn't make her open her mouth willingly, then he would force her to do it with any way possible.
"STOP IT!" However, Kace wouldn't let that happen. He had enough watching several dead bodies of the guards in the front yards, though their bodies strangely disappeared when he walked out of the castle, but that wasn't his main concern right now. "ALL OF YOU STOP IT!"
Kace's roar managed to assuage the anger from both parties, but it didn't take a long time for a hush to fall over the place. They were surprised by the Alpha's tone that Kace used, since they had never heard the young Donovan being a dominant.
"You don't have the right to stop us while letting your brother to defame Chiron! Have you forgotten about the kindness that we offered you when you lived with us!?" One of the centaurs shouted at Kace from the back of the crowd.
The situation was almost getting out of hand right now.
"I DO NOT STAND HERE TO DEFEND ANYONE! WHY DON'T YOU ASK HER!?" Kace yelled at the centaurs, as his voice sounded very powerful, demanding respect from all of them.
Raphael, who heard that, was slightly surprised see Kace now, because as far as he could remember about him; the younger Donovan sibling was someone who didn't want to get involved in any conflict.
However, Kace now, almost looked like an Alpha, someone who deserved the Donovan name.
"IF YOU DON'T TRUST HIM OR ME, ASK HER WHETHER IT IS A LIE OR NOT!" Kace snarled at Zarrn.
In an instant the voices died down, even the snarls from the lycanthropes couldn't be heard anymore. All of them looked at Kace and then shifted their attention toward Zarrn and Carina.
"Tell them Carina! Tell them that was only his another disgusting accusation to defame Chiron!" Zarrn glared at Jedrek, while talking to Carina. "He just wants to kill us!"
However, Carina didn't reply to him. She balled her fists and bit her lips. She didn't think it would be like this. She just wished for Kace to help her to stop Chiron from the thing that he would do, which now, she was aware that it was too late.
This matter had escalated very fast.
"Yes, he did," Carina finally said.
