16 Chapter 16 - Tension

Without a thought, Ezra charged at him, grabbed him by his neck, and pushed him off of Claire. That overwhelming rage fogged his control over his wolf. Instantly a huge brown wolf stood over him stomping on his chest.

"Calm down Ezra." Rio raised his hand as a form of defeat but Ezra was too gone to understand this.

The grey wolf growled loudly and chomped down hard on his hand.

"AHHH, YOU BOZO, STOP THAT!!!"

the packs that were down heard the commotion and ran up to the pack house.

"Ezra!!" alpha Val pulled him off, but the young wolf was too powerful. He powerfully comped down Rio's shoulders again.

The alpha Val had no other way but to exert dominance.

Whimpering, Ezra lowered to the ground, hugging his head with his paws.

"What do you think you are doing?"

"What is going on here?" alpha Velveta stood by the door coldly watching the inside. "Why is my son on the ground a bleeding mess?" he calmly walked in and pulled him up. "don't you have hands and legs? Can't you fight? Is this how I trained you," he coldly slapped his face. "Getting hit by a mere pup."

Ezra who had changed forms, gazed at this with a slight frown. Yes, he hated Rio but he still didn't deserve to be treated like this.

A deep glare fell on him. Alpha Velveta scoffed. "You, who did you think you are? This calls for pack war,"

"don't you think it's your son's fault? It's obvious to anyone with eyes what happened here," alpha Val pulled Ezra behind him protectively. "Your son clearly attacked Claire." He pointed to the young lady laying on the bed.

"So what your son did is okay? Look," he brutally pulled Rio close and pulled his collar down. "He bit his neck. My alpha heir could have died. Can you son repay me for that?"

Ezra tightly held his father's shirt. 'Fuck… this is escalating too fast. What should I do?'

"it's okay..." Rio softly whispered. "Dad I was the one who was in the wrong." He said with his head lowered.

Era poked his head out gazing at him.

Aloha Velveta pulled his son roughly close. "So? why does that matter?" He said through gritted teeth. "Who can replace you if you died? I don't have any fucking mutt left."

Ezra gulped. The alpha dominance that man was exhibiting was too strong. His wolf wanted to roll on the ground and submit. But he gritted his teeth and held on to his dad. Breathing in his familiar scent.

"What the heck happened kid?" his father softly whispered in his mind.

As an alpha he had the power to talk t anyone in the pack through their mind. not other wolves had that power only the alpha did.

Ezra gripped his dad tightly. 'Rio tried to rape Claire.'

'Did you see that?'

'Huh?' he raised his head looking at his dad's face.

'I asked you if you saw it. There is obviously no scent of cum in here. Did you see him attacking Claire?'

Ezra froze. his father was right. There was no scent of any sexual residue here. even if Rio hadn't removed his pants his sexual scent would have been left behind in the room because that is how strong a wolf's scent is.

'Why didn't I notice this...' he lowered his head. 'I… I'm sorry dad...'

'Apologize to him. And let's hope that man doesn't escalate it.' alpha Val cleared his throat. "Looks like both sides are at fault. My son was rash. I hope you can be kind senior and accept his apology." He pulled Ezra up front.

"I'm sorry," he apologized without any reserve.

"hahaha…" alpha Velveta laughed out loud. "Sorry? You think a sorry can rectify this."

A clawed hand suddenly appeared in front of his face. he could not move. He could only watch the hand reached to his eyes in horror.

But a sudden force pulled him back. he fell back into his father; swarm embrace.

Eyes wide open he gazed at the ruthless man in front of him. To his surprise, he saw Rio grabbing a hold of his father's outstretched hand in a tight grip.

"Enough. Do you know whose territory you are in?" his father was no joke. He started to growl loudly. "Get out of my land."

The power emitted by alpha Val was too overwhelming. Even Ezra couldn't stand straight.

Alpha Velveta pushed his son off with a scoff. "One day or another I will kill you." With one hand he barbed Rio by his collar and dragged him out of the room.
