Fated To My Lycan Stepbrothers
Chapter 129

Zeke's POV

Naya managed to stand again. Her legs trembled, and she wasn't looking at me. Poor Naya, she must have been embarrassed beyond comprehension to even ask for my help. I am so sorry, Naya. I couldn't even defend you or hold you. "Elder Freya, you are a disgrace to the elders.

The gasps became louder.

"Naya," I tried to warn her. I was allowed to speak to Elder Freya like that, but not her. She was just an omega and could get banished. My hands would be tied because everyone would support Elder Freya regardless of her attitude. They only believed she was more important than a silly omega who didn't know her place. Elder Freya was important to us more. She was an Elder.

"I am not sorry to say it. Why do you treat me this way?

Why do all of you treat me this way?" She yelled at Elder Freya. "I looked up to you as an elder... When I met the elderly ones, they were better and kind. How did they create someone as evil as you?"

Elder Freya was beginning to get red. Oh, no. "Naya, I see your powers are making you have guts to talk to me, but I will let you know that I am centuries old. I have done so much for this pack. You have done nothing, you have nothing and you are insignificant." "Shit." Naya chuckled like a maniac. "You are delusional. I will be so much more, I promise you. For now, you aren't taking Alpha Zeke. You provoked him, Marley sat on his seat. You should be guiding him, not trying to take him away to suit your selfish desires." Elder Freya turned amused eyes to Elder Rosalie.

"See?"

"I will work on it." Elder Rosalie gave me the stink eye. She wasn't happy with the way I was talking, but I had the right to speak like that because she wasn't behaving well.

Elder Freya came closer. With each step, her terrifying presence engulfed her. I could see a hand creeping up Naya's throat. It wasn't visible to the rest of the pack, but I could see it. I could not stop it as it wrapped its strong hands around Naya's throat. She began to gasp for air and choke while everyone else bowed their heads in reverence. I had to give Naya some credit because Elder Freya was royally pissed by an omega like her.

Elder Freya stopped a few inches from my face while I gasped for air. "What do you know about the Elderly One?"

"I know that she made a mistake by creating you."

Those hands choked harder.

"What is going on here?" Kyle's calm voice filled the air.

My hands were tied. Anger filled my bones at the thought of what she was doing to her, but this was a fight between Elders. I glanced at Kyle, telling him to step aside and not intervene. I knew he wasn't going to listen to me anyway. When did I become the cowardly one, and Kyle the brave one? I was pathetic.

Kyle's hands were on Naya's neck to stop the sensation Naya was feeling. "Stop it, Elder Freya, people are watching."

Elder Freya's eyes glowed brightly as she turned to Kyle.

"She needs to be taught her place. Allow me."

Naya was losing her breath by the second, and her face was turning redder. "I won't apologize, you b*itch!" She gritted out, and those hands tightened.

Kyle clenched his fists. "Elder Freya, I won't stand by and watch you harm her."

Elder Freya was unfazed. "Step aside, Kyle. This is an Elder matter."

She called him Kyle. Anger surged through me as Naya's struggles grew weaker. I couldn't stand by and watch this any longer. I lunged forward, trying to break the Elder's hold on Naya, but I was met with an invisible force field. It repelled me, sending me stumbling backward.

"I won't allow you to harm her." My voice shook with anger.

Kyle also tried to intervene, but he, too, was blocked by Elder Freya's power.

Naya was gasping for breath, her eyes pleading for help. I turned to the Z Patrol team. "Grab her." I commanded the Z patrol team. "You are over exerting your power, Elder Freya.

Let her go!" I infused my Alpha power in my voice. No matter what, there was still a wolf in an elder to make them listen to me.

Scar hesitated, torn between his fear of Elder Freya's power and their concern for Naya. "Elder Roy!" He yelled at the other elder who grinded his teeth against the pressure to intervene.

What sought of agreement did the elders enter into? They all chose not to speak.

Elder Freya continued to exert her control over Naya, her grip tightening. Naya's face turned a shade of blue, and her struggles grew feeble. It was clear that if no one intervened soon, Naya's life would be in danger.

Elder Rosalie, who had been conflicted earlier, spoke up.

"Elder Freya, this has gone far enough. Release her."

Elder Freya hesitated but finally let go of her hold on Naya.

Naya collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

Elder Rosalie approached Naya and helped her to her feet.

"Are you alright?"

Naya nodded, still catching her breath. The other Elders G surrounded Elder Freya, who looked defiant but didn't press the matter further.

I rushed to Naya's side, worried about her well-being. Kyle joined us, his expression a mix of relief and anger.

"Thank you, Kyle, for intervening," I said, genuinely grateful.

Kyle nodded. "I couldn't stand by and watch her suffer."

Naya managed to speak, her voice still shaky. "Thank you, both of you. I... I don't know what I would have done without your help." But she still refused to look at me. I came late.

I glared at Elder Freya. Her actions had not gone unnoticed, and her intentions were becoming more apparent. I needed to address these issues and ensure that no one, not even an Elder, could abuse their power to such an extent. However, Elder Freya wasn't done. Her eyes were filled with anger as she took more steps back. I gave Lily the sign that everyone should leave. They have seen more than they should have.

"Elder Freya, your behavior is unacceptable. You can't use her power like that." Kyle spoke up first.

Elder Rosalie raised her hands to stop Kyle. "This is a matter that needs to be addressed within the Elder Council."

"The Elder Council will decide what is best for the pack." Elder Freya, her defiant gaze fixed on me, added. She was toying with me, I see.

The commotion had not gone unnoticed by staff members.

As they all left, some of them glanced back worriedly. The manor will be closed for now. Everyone was allowed to go home to their families.

One of the Z Patrol team raised his hands to speak. "Alpha Zeke, we cannot allow this to continue. Elder Freya's actions were unjust."

Elder Freya turned sharply to the man who subtly hid beside Scar. "Don't be shy, let me see your face."

Elder Rosalie nodded in agreement. "I will ensure that this matter is discussed within the Elder Council."

I turned to Naya, my hand resting on her shoulder. "We will make sure you're safe, Naya. Go upstairs."

I was shocked when she shook her head, taking a step away from me. "Elder Freya, you have made me unhappy. I will never forgive you for trying to hurt me and the ones I love." "And what will you do about it?"

"You are not my enemy, but you are proving yourself to be my enemy. You almost killed me. At least Zeke and Kyle had a bit of control. They didn't harm themselves. You knew who I was but you chose to bully me."

"Do you even have the strength to talk to me right now?"

Elder Freya eyes Naya from head to toe.

I licked my dry lips. "Elder freya, that's enough."

Elder Freya was in my face instantly. "You know, with the way you defend her so much, I have a feeling she is your mate. You are an Alpha that discriminates. If she wasn't your mate, sister or whatever, would you defend her this way?" I swallowed hard.

"Look at you, you can't even answer me properly."

"Elder Freya..." Flame spoke in my stead. He was pissed but not to the point of another rage rampage. "I won't warm you again. This time around, your powers won't stop me." Elder Freya raised an eyebrow. "Really? The last time I checked, you bounced off my shield like a baby."

I sighed. There was no point arguing with her. "Fine. But if you disrespect me again or not in this pack, if you do that which you did again, I will ruin you. Do you hear me?" Elder Freya simply snorted. "You? And what would you do?

Go into another rage rampage like a baby?"

Suddenly, our attention turned to Naya who began to shake uncontrollably. Her hair turned purple and her eyes were tightly closed. She was as stiff as a board.

"Naya? What's wrong?" I asked in panic, shaking her for some sort of response. Kyle was all over her too as everyone began to wonder why she was in a trapped space. "What's wrong with her again?" Scar asked Beta Brooke who shrugged. He has been quiet, watching the event unfold with keen attention.

He was just as sly as my father.

I searched Naya's face for any form of change. "Come on baby, talk to me. What's wrong?" My heart beat increased in tempo. Fear engulfed me as she could be trapped in a haze and I would never know how to get her out of it. We haven't spoken about a lot of things. How would I tell her I love her if she was like this?

I was terrified beyond my imagination so I snapped my head to Elder Freya. "What have you done to her?"

With animalistic speed, Kyle held her hands before she could use her powers. I warned her, didn't I?

"Let me go!" Elder Freya thrashed frantically. Her eyes were filled with fear.
