Darach's face faded from view for a brief moment; I guessed he was so shocked to hear his father scolding him that he might have jostled the bowl by accident. I could hear vague mutterings of Nicole trying to calm him down in the background.
Meanwhile, Alpha Thorton continued to howl in outrage at his son. He didn't spit out any obscenities, but his tone was filled with vitriol as he began to berate his son through the shaky connection.
"To think that I've raised such an ungrateful swine! I'm your father! I know what's best for you!"
I scowled. To think this bastard still had the nerve to act like he had Darach's best interests at heart after all the torture he put him through!
"He hasn't done anything you haven't already done to yourselves," I pointed out through gritted teeth, drawing their attention.
