บท 23: Chapter Twenty-three

The air in the pack house was charged with unease after Liam's return to his own pack. Whispers of his humiliation spread like wildfire, and his parents, formidable alphas of their territory, were furious at the perceived disrespect.

Liam flinched as his father's voice thundered in his ears, echoing in the spacious hall. He felt his mother's eyes piercing him with disappointment, burning him with anger and resentment. "I'll handle my affairs, old man. No need for you to intervene." Liam retorted.

The pack members seated grumbled and growled, their eyes flashing with discontent. The disgraced alpha's defiance sparked tension that crackled in the air, a brewing storm.
