As an Alpha, Ravyn wasn’t built to tolerate disrespect, not from anyone, and definitely not from someone like Daisy’s parents, no matter what he claimed to feel for her, because in his world, hierarchy wasn’t just a title, it was everything, and Daisy’s parents stood far beneath him in that order whether they liked it or not.
The irony of it all ran deeper than most people would notice.
Daisy’s parents were in the rank of omegas, and it was Seraphine’s mother who brought Daisy’s mother into the pack house so she could help care for Seraphine while also easing the burden on Daisy’s own mother.
Over time, that simple arrangement had turned into something much more personal, because Seraphine’s mother had grown genuinely fond of Daisy, treating her like more than just the daughter of a nanny, and more like family, and somehow, all of that had led to this.
"Excuse me?" Ravyn’s voice cut through the air, sharp and explosive, his anger rising fast as he held the phone to his ear. "You better remember who you’re speaking to."
On the other end, the elderly man faltered for a brief moment, clearly shaken by the intensity of Ravyn’s tone, but whatever fear he felt didn’t last long enough to silence him.
"I’m sorry," the man said, his voice steadier now, carrying a weight that came from conviction rather than hesitation, "but you’ve made the worst mistake of your life."
There was a pause, just long enough for the words to settle before he continued, more firmly this time. "As for Daisy, we don’t want her anymore. I didn’t raise a homewrecker, and I’m not going to support what you’ve done, not now, not ever, even if it costs me everything."
The line went dead before Ravyn could respond. For a second, there was silence.
Then Damon let out a slow breath, relief washing over him in a way he didn’t bother hiding, because finally, someone had said it out loud, taken a stand for dignity, instead of bending around Ravyn’s authority.
To him, Ravyn and Daisy were beyond redemption at this point.
"Are you going to tell me who you’ve been calling now?" Ravyn’s voice broke through again, colder this time, more dangerous as he turned his attention back to Daisy.
Before she could react, he grabbed her arm and yanked her forward, dragging her out of the ward with a force that left no room for resistance.
Damon followed immediately, a bad feeling settling in his gut, and by the time he caught up, the scene in front of him made his steps falter for just a second.
Ravyn had Daisy lifted off the ground, his hand wrapped tightly around her neck, cutting off her air as her feet dangled helplessly, her hands clawing weakly at his grip.
Damon moved without thinking. "Alpha, stop," he said quickly, stepping in and grabbing Ravyn’s arm, his tone urgent but controlled. "This isn’t the way to handle this."
