Inez sensed instantly that Madam Edira had said something wrong because the entire room turned unusually quiet. Killian, who was sitting at the head of the table, ran the tip of his tongue across the front of his teeth. He dropped the fork on the table and said, "Well, unfortunately, the head of the pack is not my brother but me, grandmother. So, you have to listen to me."
He paused before smiling cruelly. "But of course, if you miss him so much, then you are free to walk out of here."
Madam Edira parted her lips. It seemed like she wanted to say something, but after a second, she seemed to have thought things through and closed her mouth. "I never intended to say such a thing." After she finished speaking, she got to her feet and then walked out of the dining area.
Nyx shot a look of pure disappointment at Killian before saying to him, "I never thought that you would hurt Madam Edira like that, Kill. No matter what, you have at least shown enough respect to her."
