Chapter 271

I turned my attention to Vince, who had come up next to me. "I think this is the place." My eyes flashed and Vince took a step back. I redirected my attention back to the crowd and the reporters. "My father, Gavin Maclean, was an outstanding man. He did a lot of this community, and I refuse to allow anyone to speak ill of him. He was as far from a traitor as one wolf could actually get." I met eyes of a few people in the crowd, and I saw their doubt, or confusion. So I pushed on. "He donated billions of dollars to the council annually. Way above the allotted amount so that smaller packs could stay in the alliance, but reinvest their fees into their own packs. When I asked him why he did it, supported people we didn't even know.

As they listened and left the king to fight for him mate and pup alone." The silence that followed my declaration was thick. Then I turned back to the woman, who was still trying to enforce her power over me. Sweat beaded her brow, and she was pale. "I don't know who you are." I leaned against the podium, my voice still ringing through the room. "I honestly don't even care. I have spent these last years continuing my father's ideals. I have donated more money to this school than the king himself to keep
