Ryan’s pov

I stormed into father’s office and slammed the door, hard. He doesn’t look up from the paperwork load in front of

him.

“What do I owe the pleasure of your visit son

He begins to mumble but I cut in sharply. “Where the fuck do you have her!?”

He still doesn’t look up from the papers. Instead he continue to jot down on it, acting unbothered by my demanding question.

The scratching of his pen against the thin paper is slow. I’d say deliberately slow. He was trying to irk me. It was like he was trying to remind me who holds the power here. Him.

“I don’t quite like that tone Ryan,” Father says calmly. Even though his tone was calm, I can see his shoulders stiffening. I was getting to him. Good. “You’re not Alpha yet to speak to me in that manner.”

I laugh. It’s sharp and humorless. “No, I may not be the alpha yet,” I snarl, stalking further into the room. The closer I draw to him the more I can feel the stir of his emotions. He was rattled even though he was trying so hard to act like I hadn’t struck a nerve.

My hands slam hard onto his desk. So hard that the sound bounced off the four walls. “But you’re not a good leader. A good leader wouldn’t chase away an innocent person out of the pack. A good leader looks for them and brings them back to safety.”

That finally gets his attention.

He lifts his head, dark eyes locking onto mine. The same eyes I used to search for approval in. There’s no warmth there now just coldness.

“I don’t know what you think you know,” he says, leaning back in his chair. ” but Evie fled on her own. Since she’s out of our boundary, she’s none of my concern or yours.”

Something in me snaps. How dare he!

“She is my concern,” I growl, my wolf pushing forward. The air in the room thickens. I was restraining my wolf because I needed to get more information out of father but he was tight lipped.” She has always been my concern. Long before I found out she’s my mate and you decided she was a liability.”

Father’s lips thin as he warns. “Watch what you say to me.’

“No,” I bite back. “You listen to what I have to say to you.”

I straighten slowly, breathing hard through my nose. All I want to do is strangle him. The man I looked up to was nothing more than a bastard. “You sent warriors after her. Then you lied to my face about it. You let her run because you were afraid.”

“Afraid?” he scoffs, shaking his head in disbelief.

“Yes,” I snap.” Afraid that once I take your seat, I’ll tear down everything you built just to bring Evie back. And you know what? You are right.”

Silence crashes down between us. You could literally hear a pin drop.

“You think this pack will survive without her by my side?” I continue, voice deadly even though it was low. “You

think stripping me of my mate, humiliating her, hunting her, will somehow make me a stronger Alpha?”

His jaw tightens. “She was weak,” he says. “She had no wolf. No standing. She would have ruined you. She would’ve ruined the pack. The prophecy-

“You ruined me,” I cut in, correcting him coldly. “You ruined the pack.”

I take another step closer, my eyes pinning down on him hard with anger and disappointment. ” You taught me loyalty. Honor. Protecting what’s yours,” My voice trembles with fury.” And then you broke every one of those lessons the moment you put a prophecy before fate.”

Father rises from his chair, his power rolling off him in waves. I don’t bow, I don’t back down either even when mom enters the room and tells me to stop. “Everything I’ve done is for this pack,” Father says firmly as if he believes those words.

I laugh again, darker this time as I shake my head. Shame. He was no longer a man of honor. ” Then hear this clearly.”

I lean in, eyes blazing. “The pack you love so much will crumble without Evie in it.”

Mother gasp from somewhere behind me. I paid her no mind. “Ryan! Don’t say such horrible things!”
