Chapter 89

I had heard vistes alaud hit The rubless Alpha King when crushed anyone who staral in his way A man who once dipped out a tractor’s heart with his bare hauls, then sat down for dinner like nothing had happened

They said he forced his own Bets to kill his mate for questioning his orders. The tales were endless, each one more terrifying thats the last

I didn’t know how much of it was true Jan 1 knews

He way the man who has testroyed Maximum life and tried to turn bun into a weapon against his enemies.

Now he stand in front of me, his cold and hand eyes scifimine as if he couldn’t find anyone more interesting to look at.

I took a deep breath, straightening my shoulders. The last thing I wanted was to look weak

He looked me up and down, then tiled his head slightly. “Disrespectful

The repeated word made me clench my jaw

Disrespectful? What did I even do! I didn’t say a word to him or try to get on his nerves. Was it because I stood out because of my dress and he dislikest how someone came dressed as a sunflower to his son’s funeral?

Before I could say anything. Anthony’s cold voice cut through the silence, “Who are you?”

Aslen steppest forward “Grandfather.”

My heart missed a beat What was this jerk trying now?

She is my Lana “Aiden added, his voice steady.

Ha? How could he say that so easily after how he came to this funeral with Emily and stood by her side all this time? This shamelessness of the Caine men was truly unrivaled.

A bitter taste filled my mouth. And I kept silent. I could provoke anyone here, but not Maximus‘ father.

That would complicate things a lot more than necessary. Besides, I was not in the mood to die, and this man looked like he could kill me with a flick of his finger

Forgive her, Grandfather. ” Aiden continued. “Zia doesn’t know you. So, naturally, she didn’t know how to act in front of you. But I will teach her. I will tell her everything.”

My mind was beginning to spin. Was the jerk trying to save me or what? He was so confusing.

Anthony didn’t react. His cold, dark eyes remained fixed on me. I met his gaze and refused to look away. My heart was racing, but I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of seeing my fear.

Aiden grabbed my arm, his fingers digging into my skin.” Show some respect to Grandfather, Zia. Apologize to him.”

I turned my head toward him, yanking my arm free.” For what? I haven’t done anything.

Anthony hummed, taking a slow step forward,” Interesting

The air grew heavier. Tension increased, thick and suffocating. My body tensed, instincts screaming at me to move, to prepare for something-

But a voice interrupted whatever was about to happen.

“Father.”

Maximus.

He walked out into the backyard, dressed in black from head to toe. Black suit. Black shirt. Black tie. His presence commanded the space, drawing every eye to him.

Anthony finally looked away from me and turned to his son. His expression, if possible, grew even colder.

Maximus, you are coming just now? How did this happen! “His voice was sharp, deadly. “Why is your brother dead?”

Alsame shrugged He must have pissed off the wrong people while i was busy

Anthony growled, the sound deep and threatening. As an Alpha King, it was your shuty to protect your family! How dare you stand here and say you don’t krane what happened?”

My bear missed a dangerous beat, Instinctively. I took a step forward.

Maximus didn’t flinch. His lips curled slightly, almost mocking. “That brother of mine! He was not my family. We didn’t share blood–Blood is

inpartant, isn’t it? Blood makes family and nothing else does.”

The tension snapped like a rubber band stretched too thin.

Anthony stepped forward, eyes dark with fury. The crowd mirrored his movement, a ripple of aggression spreading through them. Ready to attack. Ready to tear apart whoever opposed Anthony.

They were Maximus‘ people. They should have prepared to fight off Anthony if he had tried to take on a threatening stance towards Maximus. But they all were facing Maximus as if they were waiting for Anthony’s next move.

Then, it dawned upon me. They would attack the Alpha King if Anthony commanded it.

Maximus people were not his. They followed Anthony

Without thinking, I moved toward Maximus. But before I could reach him, Aiden’s hand gripped my wrist. He pulled me back, shaking his head. His glare was a warning.

Stay out of this, he was trying to tell me.

My heart drowned in my chest. Maximus was outnumbered. But he stood firm, his shoulders squared, his voice sharp as he growled at his father.

This is my territory. You don’t get to talk to me like that. The old days are over. You are not a king anymore.

1 jerked my wrist free from Aiden’s grip, fighting the urge to step in.

Then, Anthony did something I didn’t expect.

He laughed.

It was cold, empty. A sound that didn’t belong in a moment like this. The crowd of followers followed, laughing just like him.

A man was dead, yet they laughed as if this was all a game.

Suddenly, Anthony turned to Aaron, his younger son who was standing behind Maximus. “Look at him, Aaron. Finally acting like an Alpha King, isn’t he?”

The crowd relaxed, but I didn’t.

Something about this felt off. Twisted,

I glanced at Aiden without meaning to. He stood stiffly, fists clenched at his sides, his gaze locked on the ground.

He had lost his biggest support—his father. How would he survive in this shitshow now? I almost felt sorry for him. Almost.

Then Emily appeared. She stepped up beside him and gently pried his clenched fist open, holding his hand in hers.

My stomach turned. I snapped my gaze away, forcing myself to focus on what was in front of me.

They made me sick. Not just because they were flaunting their affair, but because—I felt that I was in Emily’s place with Maximus now. A mistress. Dirty. Disgusting. Vile.

I swallowed a lump and looked ahead. Maximus and Anthony were still staring at each other.

Then, Maximus spoke.” Let’s talk in the study, Father. There are more important matters to discuss. ”

Anthony nodded, stepping closer. He placed a heavy hand on Maximus‘ shoulder.

* I liked how you acted like an Alpha King just now, son.” Then his grip tightened.” But don’t forget, Max. You failed to protect your brother, and a failure—must be paid with blood. ”
