Chapter 122

The Masses

SKYLA.

“Sky,” Mama says quietly as the cunt glares at me.

I see several people nod in agreement to what I just said, and I cock a brow at the cunt.

Yeah, you don’t have a fucking answer.

“She isn’t wrong. There are many of us who are living a far better life than what we would be if he did not intervene. There was a time that every pack went by their own rules, allowing abuse, violence and other misdeeds to be overlooked. Alejandro Rossi united the packs of this country and promised safety to those who needed it. Giving them consolation that there’s someone who they can reach out to,” Leo says sharply. His voice is ice cold, his piercing eyes trained on the man.

The man scoffs. “Of course, you say that now when you are mated to a Westwood. You hated the king and the rest of the kingdom too, did you not Alpha Leo Herrmann Rossi!”

Leo smirks. “Past tense. I hated what happened, and it is in the past. Those involved understood and regretted their actions and yes, I admit that I channelled a lot of hatred. Something that my mate helped me overcome. I will not deny that. However, it does not mean I’m blind to fucking facts, Alpha Keith. I hope you’re learning from yours,” he says, his eyes trained on Cunt Keith, but he already motions for the cameras not to turn on him. 1

“I have not made a mistake!”

“Tell me, is it the fear talking or are you once again trying to look for a way to disrespect the King? If memory serves, your pack was under investigation a few months ago for alleged abuse of low-ranked wolves.

Something that didn’t sit right with you, correct? Is it a grudge that you hold and are now trying to undermine the king?” Leo’s voice is low, yet clear as his voice crosses the quiet room.

Now that’s some shit I didn’t know.

“That was something that only the council knew-” Keith looks at Dad accusingly.

“Oh, I have my own ways… I can assure you I don’t need the council to know what’s going Sit the hell down and I will be the one to reopen the case that was against your pack. This time… with proof.” Leo’s eyes are deadly cold as he now scans the room, daring anyone to speak before he glances at Dad to continue. 3

Only Dad is now smirking. “No, carry on, by all means.”

Oh, he’s enjoying this.

Leo frowns slightly before he turns back to the room.

“A decade ago, the King made a decision that benefited our people. Now, times have changed and with it, we need to change the way we will go forward. That’s with anything in life. We move with the ever- changing expectations of life around us in all aspects. We are mortals… we will make mistakes and with each mistake, we will find a solution. We are going to face this as one.

We can and we will overcome this.” He finishes with such confidence and finality in his voice that even I believe it.

He glances at Dad, who has the tiniest of smiles on his face and I get it… Why Dad wants to hand everything over to the next generation…

Someone begins clapping and others join in, and I really want to know what’s going through Leo’s mind behind that mask of indifference.

Does Ladder Boy get shy? Cus the entire fucking hall is looking at him, and I’m not blind to the women swooning over him, and I can see Azura’s eyes glimmering with irritation. 3

Don’t they know not to mess with the Westwood Devil?

“Thank you, well said,” Mama whispers to Leo as he takes his seat.

I glance back at Cunt Keith and he looks humiliated. Catching me looking, he frowns slightly and I simply smirk and give him the middle finger.

Fucker.

‘Sky, baby, leave it.’ Mama’s voice comest through the mind link.

I pull a face. Ah yes, I’m back in the pack for now, which means the mind links back.
