Beckham POV

Clain

I swear all the color drains from the a**hole’s face when I issue the challenge. It takes him a few seconds of sputtering to formulate a coherent thought. “You can’t challenge me. You abandon the. pack and any rights you had to it. Besides, Councilman Barrett has not yet decided on your punishment for killing my daughter without the council’s permission. Dead men can’t issue

challenges” he says.

“First, I can challenge you. Second, if I hadn’t abandoned the pack, it would be mine by birthright, so a challenge is necessary to take back that which never should have been under your control. Third, after everything we heard today from my brother about the abuse he endured for the last three years, I believe it’s you that should be worried about the council’s

decisions.”

“I have done nothing but mentor Jayden. If Waller was hurting him or Jacob it was without my knowledge. If I find this to be true, then he will be punished accordingly,” he says. I can tell by the tone of his voice his words even sound weak to him. “You’re a liar. You knew exactly what he was doing to us. Hell you ordered it most of the time. I didn’t get hit even half as much as Jayden,”

Jacob yells.

“Enough, Jacob, you are confused. I have never given such orders. You are like a son to me. You all were before Beckham killed my daughter,” Corey says. I’m just about to tell him I was never a son of his, even as a pup, when Jacob is out of his chair moving toward his desk with hatred in his

eyes.

“Bullsh*t, you have dosed my poor brother with wolfsbane in order to control his wolf and used the threat of harming me to keep him in line. You and my father were just alike, both ba**ards who only care about themselves no matter who they hurt,” he says. Barrett growls and stands to his full height. “Is any of this true Alpha? Keep in mind I witnessed Waller’s actions just a day ago,” Barrett

says.

“Of course, it’s not true. I also explained to you that my son was butt hurt about being embarrassed during training. He was acting out of anger without my knowledge. I also assured you he would be punished for his actions against our future Alpha,” Corey says. “It’s very interesting you bring that up Corey. Why isn’t my brother the Alpha already? He was almost eighteen when I left the pack. The title should have by default went to him, not you.”

He grits his teeth and balls his fists at this side. “He wasn’t ready, having never been trained as you were. You abandoned your brothers, leaving me to teach Jayden how to be the Alpha that the pack deserved.” “That’s a lie. You never planned on giving him the title. Hell I even heard the guards

talking about a conversation they overheard with Waller and his buddies. A conversation where he said you were going to stage a rogue attack to kill us both once the council stopped butting their

noses in pack business,” Jacob says.

“Énough, I cannot control the idle gossip of pack members. No such conversation was ever had with my son.” I look past Waller to see if he has the guts to defend himself, but he stays quiet. Daddy dearest must have warned him to keep his mouth shut. “Waller, why don’t you tell us about this plan you talked about with your buddies instead of allowing your father to speak for you. W aller growls but makes no move toward me.

“Jacob, is making things up. No one would hurt the Alpha pups. He’s just mad that Jayden was demoted and is stirring up trouble to get back at my dad” he says. I can see Corey isn’t happy that Waller just repeated what I had already heard them say at the gate. “What does he mean that Jayden was demoted in rank, Corey,” Barrett asks. I’m sure that Corey noticed the lack of his title

as much as I did.
