HUGS
"Don't you think you were too firm or harsh with your words??" Anthony asked Derek, immediately the elders had vacated the conference room.
The only people left in the room were he, Derek and Agrip.
"Perhaps I was. But didn't you see that they were trying to look down on me because of my age? The insolence!" Derek mentioned, gritting his teeth in the process.
He was still unhappy that the elders had thought they would neglect and stamp on him because of his age, instead of supporting him and guiding him properly like Agrip usually did. They were supposed to respect the Alpha's title for fudge's sake!
They deserved it! He affirmed for the umpteenth time, since he had noticed the signs of their disloyalty. Especially Mike. Why he had let Gabirel off from the punishment hook was because the latter had been wise and quick enough to admit his mistake and apologize unlike the pompous bratty elder, Mike.
