CHAPTER TWELVE

When the rival pack entered the castle, the tensions were already high. Rubius met them at the castle entrance and led them into the throne room where Aeron, Cassandra, Theo, and Holly all sat waiting at a long table big enough to seat everyone. There was no need for Aeron and Cassandra to sit atop their raised thrones now because these were fellow shifters. And although Aeron was still the alpha that held leadership over all the packs, things were done on a more equal level of merit within the shifter world. Here, they would all sit together as relative equals to discuss the matter, with Aeron having the final say as alpha.

Even if he was challenged, there was nothing that the pure-blooded pack alpha could do inside this room. Pack rules were always to be followed, and if a challenge was initiated, then it would be held at a later time in the forest. Holly had already told Marquette to stay away from the throne room until the other pack had left. Theo had been thinking about Marquette every minute since he had pushed her away from him, and it was difficult for him to concentrate on anything else aside from her. But right now, in the presence of the other pack, he needed to try to think clearly and act with restraint and better judgment.

“I believe you know why we are here,” the rival alpha said as he addressed Aeron. “Your son, Theo, has broken one of our most sacred laws. He has had relations with a human and is therefore no longer eligible to be an heir to the throne of Grenvich, or to follow as an alpha for your pack.”

“First and foremost,” Aeron said as he addressed the concern brought to light. “I deny the allegations that you are accusing my son of, and he will deny them to you as well. But then there is also the matter of shifter law to be discussed. The disdain for human and shifter relationships is not a shifter law, as you have so incorrectly stated. The decision as to whether or not to allow such relations is a pack decision, and nothing more. As alpha of your pack, it is your prerogative to deny such relationships if you see fit. But I will not have you determine what the other packs can and cannot allow.”

“Perhaps the reason that you are trying to alter the existence of that law, is because you also are guilty of improper actions,” the alpha said.

Aeron’s ridge raised as he became more defensive and on-edge with the man.

“And what action would you now like to accuse me of?” Aeron asked.

“You have had knowledge of this hidden relationship, and you have covered it up, not only from your kingdom, but also from your packs. You can say that you do not hold your pack to the same level of pure-blood standards that I hold mine to. But you cannot sit here and say that hiding such a thing from all of the packs is the action of a trustworthy leader.
