80 The right to contest a decision …

My head jerked up as I stared at Alpha Renwick hoping he was joking but he didn’t seem to be .

Jeremy and Nathan remained quiet , their faces blank without any expression while a few of the Alphas present were as surprised as I was .

“ At least hear me out before you make conclusions .

“ It’ll do us good if you learn to say everything at once , ” Alpha Grant chirped .

“ You’re fond of raising our hackles for no reason .

Lenny rose to his feet , a blank look on his face too .

“ I know you’re all displeased with me being
