How could they not be aware that their daughter was attacked? The thought angered me more than I cared to admit.

“What do you mean you weren’t aware?” I demanded, my frustration deepening. “Is that how little you care about her? What kind of parents are you?”

Her parents shifted uncomfortably both of them lowering their gazes, including thei

ghter.

“Alpha!” her father began “Most of the time we don’t understand Lyla. She’s always been, closed off and rarely…”

“Rarely does what?” I cut him off, my patience wearing thin. “Your daughter, the one you’re supposed to protect and care for?”

Lenny placed a hand on my arm, a silent reminder to maintain my composure but I shrugged it off. Lyla’s absence, her family’s indifference – everything was pissing me off.

“And where were you,” I continued, my voice rising with every word. “When she was taken to the White Mountains? You didn’t even show up to try to plead for her release. All the other parents do. Do you even care about her? Do you have any idea what she went through? What she’s still going through? And now you dare to stand here and tell me you didn’t know about the attack?”

The room fell into an uncomfortable silence and Luna Vanessa looked close to tears. It was Alpha Logan who finally broke the silence.

“Alpha Ramsey,” he said meeting ny gaze “Why are you so worked up about my daughter? She’s a deviant and wolfless. Why do you care so much? I thought the whole purpose of taking her to the White Mountains was to have her punished for what happened at the Gala?”

The words hit me like a slap. I could feel blood rushing to my head, suddenly aware of how my behaviour must seem to others. What was I doing? I was the Lycan Leader, I was supposed to be above such emotional displays. And yet here I was, nearly losing control over a girl I had rejected, making a fool of

This wasn’t like me – I never lost control like this.

Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to calm down. My mind was racing as I tried to find an explanation. Something that would make me sound less of an idiot.

“Still, it is my duty as the Lycan Leader,” I said, my voice. strained “To ensure that packs treat their members – especially their children – with respect and care.”

The words left my mouth stiff, awkward and hollow, and even as ‘I said them, I knew ridiculous they

sounded.

Lenny quickly came forward and continued smoothly from where I stopped. “Perhaps, speaking with Lyla directly would be better?” he suggested, “You see, we want to hear her account of the Feral attack, for research purposes course and also to check her condition so that our Pack Doctors and Healers would know what medicine works best for future situations.”

Alpha Logan and his wife exchanged another glance before Logan turned to look at me.
