"Your Majesty, Radulf is a beast. He killed everyone. We couldn't stand before him!" one of the warrior wolves who had managed to escape cried out in a trembling voice. The horrific sight was still fresh in his mind as he remained on his knees.
Alfred glanced at the Alpha King, realizing just how wrong his actions had been.
"Then, did you all run away like cowards?" Phillipe bellowed at them.
At that moment, Leon entered the hall and overheard the conversation. 'Father thought he could kill Radulf with such petty tactics,' he mused.
"Your Majesty, I urge you not to act until after the council meeting," Alfred advised. "It could damage your reputation. The packs may believe the Alpha King is punishing his son-in-law without reason. And Lady Zenna's innocence has not yet been proven. Please, wait until tomorrow," he insisted.
