Chapter 68: Irina is Attacked

The celebrations in the castle ballroom lasted almost the whole night as I carried Igor and Viktor back to the chambers where they were so wasted. Gleb had already blacked out and Vidam was already on the flight back to New York. 

I went back to the ballroom and the hairs at the back of my head stood out. Standing by the centre of the room was Bertha holding Irina by the throat. 

General Andre, Elder Tenora, Ivan, and Anton surrounded her as she growled, “Stand back.” 

“What is going on?” I walked to my chair and sat down. 

“You f*cking b*stard. Today I will end her life. How dare you call her Mother?” 

“What do you want me to call her?” I snickered.

“Whatever," Bertha pressed Irina’s throat and her large claws scratched her and blood flowed from the wound. 

“Stand down," I commanded General Andre, Elder Tenora, Ivan, and Anton. They all stared at me and I repeated, “Stand down."
