Adrian POV
I knew | had to stop my dad as he latched his fist around the arm of the 6 year old.
"If I'm not mistaken, it was you that caused the queen to take a lashing, the week before she was claimed by our
great king." My father roughly shook the boys body and grinned wickedly when Freddie began struggling against
his tight grip. "Makes you wonder how much she went through because of you..."
"Get off me... | haven't done anything." Freddie yelled while attempting to pull his wrist away from my dad who
gripped it even tighter.
"I wonder if the king even knows his mate has a brother..." | did not like this situation at all.

"Let him go!" My own hand shot out to the poor boys arm, and | pulled him away from my father, he ended up
tripping over and landing on the ground with a thud. The bottle of milk he had been carrying burst open
splashing the white liquid everywhere. "He hasn't done anything wrong."
"No... you have, Adrian, you and your stupid sister... Yet, This boy will be the one to face harsh punishment. We
all know what king Josh did to our queens mother... Imagine what he'll do when he finds out about your deceit."
He'll kill Freddie without even blinking, or maybe the king would use him to lore Dylan back to this pack so he
could take her yet again. No! That can't happen, Dylan has a purpose, and she needs to be away from the king in
order to fulfil it.
"Why are you so intent on torturing innocent people? Do you get off on it? What have the humans done to you to
make you like this?" My dad simply growled at my words and wrapped his fist around my top, draggingclose
to him by the fabric. The movement tookby surprise and a grunt left me.
"You'll do well to remember your place pup, or it just might beto deliver your next punishment." Flashes of
the king, holding silver to my back shot through me, and a small shudder took over my entire body as |
remembered the pain felt. | Still, couldn't help but think about how our queen had gone through worse, and how
her punishments were so regular, | had experienced one, but Dylan, she had been subjected to so many in such
little time. That's not even including everything she took before the king
had even discovered her.
| growled loudly, and forced my dads hand off my clothes, his claws had emerged, and so as his hand moved the
fabric bectorn.

"lI am no longer a pup!" | growled out my wolfs eyes landing on his with a deadly calm, | was on the verge of
shifting, | could feel it with every fibre of my being. "And | am about to show you exactly where my place is..."
By now we had a rather big audience, however most of the humans were watching from inside their homes, too
terrified to exit. It wasn't every day that two alphas were seen fighting in the streets of the human district.
My father simply stared atin shock, but that soon shifted into more of a smug expression. He let out a snarky
guffaw and threw his head back, taking his glee to the next level. All the while I stood in front of him, disgusted
by what | was seeing and by what he had become.
"And how exactly are you going to do that? A silly little pup like you? Maybe a short stay in the packs dungeon
would solve this little attitude problem." He lunged atagain, more menace on his face now, and | was seeing
my father in a completely different light. He remindedfar too much of king Josh. Only focussed on his power, ©
and the fear he could install into weaker beings. He played on his position, and used it for his own gain.
