Rolf stared at his Beta, his mouth slightly open, caught somewhere between disbelief and dread. Jake stepped forward and raised the documents in his hand, holding them high enough for the whole hall to see.
"These documents right here are the original records that show who truly owns the Moonfang pack." His voice didn't waver, even as his knuckles whitened around the paper. "I also have photographs to back up every word of it."
"What are you doing?" Rolf hissed at him, his eyes narrowing to slits.
A few feet away, Kira and Claire exchanged a quick, startled glance, both of them trying to make sense of the crack that had just split open between an Alpha and the man who'd stood loyally behind him for years.
Jake held Rolf's stare without blinking. "I'm telling the truth."
Rolf closed the distance between them in two strides, his jaw tight with fury. "You're my Beta. Your loyalty belongs to me."
