The Mystical Attraction of Alpha

Chapter 149- The Prince’s Gambit

King Andras was watching the press conference when his son stormed in, blood dripping from his claws. When Damon entered, the conference was winding down, with Sinclair thanking the press for their support and apologizing again for their deception. He called for action against the Prince, stating that the fate of the united packs was at risk if the Alpha Council did not act.

“Me!” Damon exclaimed in outrage, ‘You’re the one who’s being removed from the throne, the only reason I’m in this position in the first place is that you were too weak to fight the council and instead expected me to save your ass and the family legacy! You weren’t even going to let me rule if I won! You expected me to be your fucking puppet!”

“Because you don’t have what it takes to lead!” King Andras shouted. “You do shit like this! Thinking violence can solve all your problems, acting without thinking, taking strategy from a traitorous whore with more cunning than common sense!”

“Oh like you’re so different!” The Prince scoffed cruelly. ‘You stole the crown exactly the same way I tried to, so if you want to blame anyone for my mistakes, look in the damned mirror!”
