RETH
Reth sat in his chair in the council room, boiling in fury. "Explain to me, please, how that is any of your business?" he said through his teeth to the three wolves standing in front of him.
Behyrn and two members of the guard had stood casually a full half-hour earlier and placed themselves to either side of Reth. They stood loosely and didn't draw weapons. Not yet. But Reth couldn't believe they'd even had to think they might need to protect him. From council members!
The wolves rolled their eyes. Lerrin, the second-in-command under Lucan, stood in the middle and was spokesman for today. Reth hadn't missed that Lucan was smart enough not to be a public part of this disaster.
