The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate - 407 Elias' Cowardice

The spectators immediately went into an uproar. Likaios who already expected Elias to lose the battle was still shocked to see his Alpha face his end in such a gruesome death. He stood unmoved and his face showed a horrified expression. Many other Lycans were feeling the same thing.

Back then they betrayed him because they were impatient and thought Sophie had made him weak. They got protection from Elias because they sold their loyalty to him.

However, now Leland actually killed Elias in a formal duel to take over the leadership position in this pack, they couldn’t do anything to avenge Elias’ death.

Heck, they couldn’t even provoke the other members to attack Leland. It was against their code of honor as lycans. A few foolish ones who tried were immediately reprimanded by the older lycans and they could only step back with their tails between their legs.

Leland closed his eyes. The fight with Elias drained his energy. However, that was not the only reason why he felt there was something wrong with his body. His head felt heavy and his vision slowly blurred.

He crouched down and transformed into a human again and held his head. It was excruciatingly painful. From the corner of his eyes, he could see Isolde’s head in a pool of blood, staring at him with her lifeless eyes.

His chest felt literal pain. Even though he and his mother had a really bad relationship, they shared a family bond, and he could feel the horror and pain Isolde felt right before she died. Elias had killed the woman who was linked to Anne’s and Jack’s fate in the past.

Leland had not had the chance to interrogate his mother about what truly happened to Sophie’s parents and now he couldn’t do it anymore. This upset him greatly. He came here all the way to Armeria because he wanted to give Sophie closure.

“Aahh…” Leland felt the pain in his head become more intense. He tried to rise and but his legs gave up on him. He fell down to the ground with a loud thud.

“Leland!!” Eloise’s voice was the only thing he heard before he passed out.

Max and his friends found Eloise in one of the rooms of the palace. She immediately cried and sold them a pitiful story of how she was locked in that room by Elias and was not allowed to go anywhere.

Max knew of Eloise’s past friendship with Leland and treated her respectfully even though she was the wife of their enemy. Since she was Elias’ victim, in a way, she became their ally. That’s how he saw the situation.

When Eloise heard of the duel between Leland and Elias, she immediately ran toward the palace courtyard to witness it. She wanted to get the pleasure of watching Elias die with her own eyes. Unfortunately, she was too late.

When she arrived, she was greeted by the Isolde’s and Elias’ dead bodies and Leland staggered to keep his balance. And then he fell down hard to the ground.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Eloise screamed as she ran past everyone and got to Leland. She crouched down to hold his head and checked his body for any fatal injuries. There was none. Leland’s body was injured here and there from his fight with Elias earlier but none of them would cause his death. This made Eloise feel relieved.

She immediately shouted orders to everyone to bring a robe to cover Leland’s naked body and bring him inside. Her reaction confused many members of the Obsidian Sand Pack.

She was their luna so they were supposed to obey her orders. However, after Leland won the duel, he was their new Alpha and thus Eloise was no longer in power.

Another thing that made them feel uncomfortable was that instead of screaming and wailing to see her husband die, Eloise showed more concern for Leland who killed him. They became salty because their women wouldn’t do something like Eloise just did.

Lycans were extremely passionate and loyal to their mates. So, any female lycans who saw their men killed gruesomely before their eyes would see red because they felt the pain and the anger that their mates felt.

But Eloise didn’t show any of those. Witches were not known for their loyalty and this made them dislike her being their Luna. However, Elias was crazy about her and she was his wife. So, the Obsidian Sand Pack could only bite their tongue.

“What are you waiting for???” Eloise scolded Likaios who was standing nearby and looking at Elias’ body absent-mindedly. The Beta turned to look at Eloise and almost growled at her. How could this woman be so heartless and not grieve for her husband’s death, not even for a bit?

Before Likaios could respond, Max had arrived with his friends and they immediately helped carry Leland.

“Bring him inside,” said Eloise quickly. “I suspect that Elias poisoned him. That coward.”

Leland had a nightmare. He found himself in his wolf form being chained to a pillar in the throne room, in a foreign palace. He growled and tried to break free, but all his efforts were futile. The chain was made of silver and he couldn’t exert his strength to break it. He could also feel

While he was enraged and tried to remove himself from the chain, he heard a familiar voice from above. The voice tried to calm him down.

“Leland… wake up! Wake up now…”

Instantly Leland’s eyes opened. He tried to sit up but he couldn’t move his body. He felt like he was chained and couldn’t move but he couldn’t see the chain. What the fuck was going on with him?
