Cain sat at the head of the table as they all gathered around. Nathan and Xander sat to his left while Lydia and Callum sat to his right. Cain's fingers throbbed against the table, and they all exchanged glances.
Lydia spoke up first, breaking the silence. "Rowan's family has met with the king. They're demanding justice for Rowan. They are distraught over the way he was taken and killed. They say his body wasn't even given to them for a proper burial, so they're seeking justice. They claim you overstepped your authority and took him without justification."
Cain leaned back against the chair nonchalantly, "I overstepped my authority, did I?" He chuckled humorlessly, "Let them cry to their king. It changes nothing," he replied dismissively.
Lydia snapped her eyes at him, "They're not just crying to the king," she countered. "They're accusing you of abusing your power as Alpha. If the king listens to their pleas, it could mean war."
