“But if her uncle is so powerful…”

“Her uncle is a strict traditionalist,” Theo interrupted. “She may be spoiled, but he takes authority very seriously. Malcolm is only a Delta within their pack, and Julie doesn’t hold a rank at all. He won’t put up with her insulting someone of a higher rank, let alone the Luna of the largest pack in the country.”
