Henry had Brian killed. Public execution style.
He brought the man out in front of the entire pack, dragging him like a sacrifice meant to appease the gods of his own paranoia. Then, with his usual flair for theatrics and that commanding voice that made people forget how twisted he was, Henry made his speech.
"If I hadn't been fast enough, I would have lost both my son and wife," he said, tone righteous, like he was the victim here. "I still don't know Brian's true intentions, but I suspect he planned to hand them over to my enemies.
"I know not many of you like how I rule. I don't care. I don't need your approval. My intention has always been to make the West House great again. And to do that, some thorns need to be pulled from the garden."
Then he ended with the words that made Violet's stomach churn.
"I am your Alpha. I know what's best for my people. And I will make the West House thrive."
