"What do you mean by that?" The Duke growled, but it was clear that Cass' words had shaken him a bit. He did not like the implication. "What did you do?" He demanded. He reached out a hand, ready to grab Cass, ready to shake him but someone stopped him.
Cass was even surprised by the fact that it wasn't Byron, or Sam. Instead, it was Gideon. A man who had been on his knees letting his brothers hit him. However, he was not about to let his Father lay a finger on Cass.
"Don't do that, Father." Gideon's voice wasn't as strong as Cass would have liked, but he was a little too shocked that he had stood up to his Father for him. His hand shook a little where he held his Father's hand, but he still did it.
