Kael's POV
"The council has been informed that you've purchased a pureblood, Alpha Kael?"
As expected, the motherfucker jumped straight to the point. At least that saved me time.
"I did," I replied, my tone sharp and cold as I turned my head toward the council. My gaze locked with Jeffery's—calculated and calm on the surface, but I saw the cunning that lurked behind it.
"Someone finding a pureblood after so long is... fortunate," Jeffery began, his voice wrapped in diplomatic civility. "It's a rare opportunity for our kind. We commend you for your contribution. She can be a blessing for the prosperity of our entire clan."
Jackass. That was his way of saying she should be for everyone—not just mine or my brothers'.
"No need to thank me yet, Senior Jeffery," I replied, eyes still fixed on him. "Because I didn't do it for the council. I did it for myself, and for my brothers."
I let the silence stretch for a breath before continuing.
