Chapter 119: Judgement

Astrid's POV

The room felt thick with tension. The air is practically crackling with unspoken conflict. After Asha and I were caught in a fight, we were brought to Alpha Theron's office to make his judgment on us and think of what punishment he should give us. Luckily for us, we are his daughters. We weren't directly subjected to the law. The Pack guards brought us directly to him instead of bringing us to the Pack's tribunal, the one in charge of things like this.

"This is embarrassing," Alpha Theron spoke in a disappointed voice. "I didn't even believe it when one of our Pack guards rushed to my office and reported that you two were fighting."

I lowered my gaze in shame, unable to meet anyone's gaze. Meanwhile, Asha is still giving me that smoldering glare across from me while pressing an ice Pack on her bruised cheek.

"You two are behaving like an uneducated rabble out there," Alpha Theron said, his voice dripping with disdain. "Even the weakest omega in our Pack has more restraint than the both of you."

Alpha Theron shook his head, the disappointment evident on every syllable. "You've brought shame upon yourselves with this violent act you have displayed. What do you think people will say when they hear of this? They'll think you're nothing more than unruly savages, unfit to bear our family name."

I turned my head to the side. It sounded more like Alpha Theron was pinning all the blame on Asha.

"Father, it was Astrid who attacked me first," Asha spoke up as soon as her father was done speaking. "Look at what she had done to me," she showed her injuries.

"Asha, I expected more from you," Alpha Theron pinned her with an accusatory glare, his lips pressed into a thin, disapproving line. "It's not just yourself you've embarrassed, but me as well. I had thought I raised you well to carry both dignity and grace, but clearly, I was mistaken."

Asha's eyes widened when her father just ignored her words. "It wasn't I who started the fight, father. Astrid attacked me first. Look at her and then look at me," Asha spoke, desperately trying to convince her father. "She attacked me brutally." she showed her injuries once again. "I could win against her in a fight, but I didn't fight back."
