Chosen By The Moon (Dylan) novel Chapter 376

Adrian POV

I knew I had to stop my dad as he latched his fist around the arm of the 6 year old.

"If I'm not mistaken, it was you that caused the queen to take a lashing, the week before she was claimed by our great king." My father roughly shook the boys body and grinned wickedly when Freddie began struggling against his tight grip. “Makes you wonder how much she went through because of you…”

"Get off me... I haven't done anything." Freddie yelled while attempting to pull his wrist away from my dad who gripped it even tighter.

"I wonder if the king even knows his mate has a brother..." I did not like this situation at all.

"Let him go!" My own hand shot out to the poor boys arm, and I pulled him away from my father, he ended up tripping over and landing on the ground with a thud. The bottle of milk he had been carrying burst open splashing the white liquid everywhere. "He hasn't done anything wrong."

"No... you have, Adrian, you and your stupid sister... Yet, This boy will be the one to face harsh punishment. We all know what king Josh did to our queens mother... Imagine what he'll do when he finds out about your deceit." He'll kill Freddie without even blinking, or maybe the king would use him to lore Dylan back to this pack so he could take her yet again. No! That can't happen, Dylan has a purpose, and she needs to be away from the king in order to fulfil it.

My father simply stared at me in shock, but that soon shifted into more of a smug expression. He let out a snarky guffaw and threw his head back, taking his glee to the next level. All the while I stood in front of him, disgusted by what I was seeing and by what he had become.

"And how exactly are you going to do that? A silly little pup like you? Maybe a short stay in the packs dungeon would solve this little attitude problem." He lunged at me again, more menace on his face now, and I was seeing my father in a completely different light.

He reminded me far too much of king Josh. Only focussed on his power, and the fear he could install into weaker beings. He played on his position, and used it for his own gain.
