“All because I come from a small pack doesn’t make me useless,” I hissed. I then turned to Caroline with an equal look of dismay. “What makes you think that I married Alexander to climb the social ladder? Is this really your opinion?”
Neither one of them dared to interrupt me as I went on.
“True strength comes from within, and Alexander’s pack is already the strongest. You’re Alexander’s father, why are you looking for a helper or a support system for a pack that clearly doesn’t need it? Is insulting me your way of saying that you feel insecure about your own abilities?”
Henry’s face twisted in anger like he was getting ready to punish me. He raised his hand high in the air like he was getting ready to strike me. “Why you insolent little bi-”
“What’s going on here?”
A strong booming, authoritative voice called out.
Henry hesitated to say anything and slowly lowered his hand as though he was still a little wary of Alexander’s authority.
As soon as Alexander made his presence known, his father was quick to question him.

“Is there a reason why the wedding hadn’t been announced to the family?”
The younger Alpha shrugged with his mask firmly in place. The pack has been busy lately and Grandma is currently not feeling well. So, there was no need for a formal ceremony.”
It was clear that he wasn’t concerned about the two people present, even if they were his parents.
Henry stepped forward and spoke through clenched teeth.
“I suggest you get better quickly, otherwise you’re going to have to relinquish some of your power to Michael and myself,” he said. “Once everyone knows you’ll be in a wheelchair forever, the soldiers will leave.”
Alexander, however, wasn’t bothered. “My army has been recruited and trained by me. Even in a wheelchair, I would still be more effective than you. Even if he never stood up again, you and Michael would struggle to control them.”
Based on Henry’s baffled look, something told me that he had already tried to do so in the past, but failed. Alexander’s father was clearly humiliated and prepared to leave with Caroline in tow. This entire ordeal confirmed my suspicions that Alexander and his family were truly on opposing sides.
Before he made it out, Henry stopped and turned to face the two of us.
“Tomorrow, I suggest that you go see your grandmother. Even if she’s not feeling her best, she deserves to know what’s been happening.” He then turned to look at me. “After hearing that you’ve truly married, she’ll want to meet you.”
Alexander and I both nodded our heads and Henry left.
Once the two of them were gone, it seemed like a lot of the air returned back to the room. My head was throbbing so much that the second I was to fall into bed, I was likely to pass out.
“Always a pleasure when those two show their faces,” Alexander stated coldly.
I rolled my eyes up toward the ceiling and subtly shook my head.

Alexander maneuvered his wheelchair around to leave the room. “You should head upstairs to rest now,” he told me. “You’ll be expected to meet my Grandmother tomorrow, most likely in the morning.”
Oh, goodie. Another relative to potentially cut me down and belittle me. How exciting.
A furious sensation of righteous anger sparked through me I wasn’t sure what the true indicator was, but I knew that I was right about all these damn trials.
“Tell me…Does my presence interfere with atiy of your plans?” I asked him directly.
Alexander quickly turned his head to look at me.
