The Temptation of Sin And The Lycan Princess

Chapter 164

80. Justice for the Past

ROYCE.

“Once again, you show no compassion. You drove him to become what he was… by abusing him, mentally and physically. You broke him from the caring big brother he once used to be. Grooming him not only to be competitive but to go to any length to achieve what he desired, and he did.” My voice rings powerfully across the arena as I keep circling Dad. 1

“I did nothing of the sort! He made his own choices of his own free will!” he replies, his eyes flashing. 1

“Did he? You expected more of him, wanted more from him! You put the seed of hatred for me into him!” I snarl, grabbing him by the collar, my heart thundering.

“The match has not started. Let’s follow the rules, son.” He says, smiling tauntingly. A smile that grates on my nerves.

I never realised how badly he treated us… I was so accustomed to everything that I dealt with it, but he is the root cause of it all.

I let go of him and shove him away, backing up a few steps.

“Very well then… before we start, I will go over the crimes that you have committed to remind you and the audience of them. Let’s start with the first known crime; you tried to have Alpha Rafael Rossi killed when you were at the now discontinued Alpha Training camp. Next, you commanded the murder-”

“That was not on me!” Kenneth snarls, cutting me off. “Rafael Rossi was not my doing!” 2

“Oh yeah? Then who was it on?” Alejandro snaris, leaning forward.

“Wouldn’t you like to know?” Dad says, spitting on the ground in disrespect before a cold smirk crosses his face as he looks at Alejandro challenging. 4

“Stop playing fucking mind games.” Alejandro snarls. “Carry on with listing his crimes. We don’t have time to fucking waste.”

“I agree,” I say, turning back to Dad. “You commanded the murder of your first-born child simply because she was a female and not as powerful as the standard Alpha. You experimented and tortured your sons in the name of science and pitted them against one another! Lied to your mate about not only the death of her first child but the abuse you were dealing out on your own children! You wanted to lure the Lycan King’s daughter to gain more. power over the council!”

I take a breath, my heart thundering as I try to control my rage. “You are the one who created a monster out of Aleric, ultimately making his crimes yours. I challenge you, Alpha Kenneth Henry Arden, for the position of Alpha of the Shadow Wolves pack. If I win this match, you will hand it over or be killed.”

“Kill him!”

“He’s better off dead!”

There are several cries from the crowds, and I look at the man before me. Despite it all… do I want to paint my hands with the blood of another family member?

I don’t answer as Dad’s eyes blaze. “I have a request! If I win, I want my sentence to be lightened!”
