Phoenix:
Standing on the stage next to the other contestants, I thought of the way King Sebastian's guard not only saved me but also declared that the king would surely announce a house arrest for Kiara and Beta Brian.
I couldn't bring myself to strike back at Beta Brian. Attacking your Alpha or Beta wasn't allowed, or one could face serious consequences. I made a mental note to talk to Alpha Blake and tell him that I wouldn't tolerate any mistreatment from any of the pack member in future, no matter how mighty he was.
House arrest punishment was expected for Kiara, but I never had the idea that Beta Brian could get in trouble because of me.
I never got any negative vibes from him, but today it felt like he had been harboring this hatred against me in his heart. It was shocking.
Who else from this pack kept hiding this hatred for me?
As expected, Kiara was not in the crowd. Beta Brian was.
