Glaring up at Cedric, Elder Wolfcrest shouted out in pure fury, boldly addressing the Alpha by his given name.
"Cedric, do not take things too far! I am your elder! Even your own father, when he was alive, always spoke to me with the utmost politeness and respect. It is one thing for you to demand that I offer an apology to this pathetic wench, but you are taking things to an intolerable extreme."
"You want to confine me to my house like a criminal for an entire month? You want to strip away my right to participate in our meetings? Don't you think you are taking your authority entirely too far?"
Cedric's temper flared past the point of no return. Right at that exact microsecond, a sharp realization crystallized in his mind.
He recognized that he had over-indulged Elder Wolfcrest entirely too much over the past few years.
