Roman's POV
Kael's words, laced with warning, had clearly rattled Jeffery. I could see it in the shift of his expression, from smug to cold.
"Alpha Kael, are you threatening me in my own council?" Jeffery asked, his tone icy.
"Not the first time for me, or for you either," Kael countered smoothly. "And if the council head himself forgets his own limits, then others can do the same. So you better stick to your role instead of passing judgement before listening to both sides fairly."
Kael looked at everyone. "I am sure everyone prefers it the way it should be."
It wasn't a request. It was an order.
Before anyone else could speak, Asher did.
"I agree with you as well, Alpha Kael," he said, then looked at Jeffery. "Please let Alpha Kael present his side, so there will be no doubt left for him to accept the punishment the council bestows on him."
Punishment? It would be him receiving it from us later.
