“It was s–” he tried to speak, but I didn’t let up, beating him relentlessly. The warriors had to step forward and pull me off him, restraining me to stop the assault.

“This is the whistler? The man who calls the monsters?” Yuki, the old council member, spoke up, scrutinizing him closely.

Yuki had been a council member for a very long time. He was once an Alpha King, but since he had no heir—his fated mate died without bearing him a child—he had to pass on the title to someone else. Nevertheless, he remained a highly respected member of our pack.

“He is,” I confirmed, resisting the urge to spit on the man. Soon, my brothers barged in with my father.

“Tie him up to the chair,” Ryker ordered, twisting his watch off and handing it to Dad before he started punching the man again.

He already had a bloody nose and bruised lips from my beating. If Ryker hit him too much, he’d pass out, and we wouldn’t get any

answers.

“That will be enough, my son. Let him speak now,” Yuki stepped forward and gently patted Ryker’s chest to calm him down.

“Tell us,” my father took the lead this time, “tell us, how did you escape? Why? Why did you unleash those monsters again?”
