Chapter 67: Mullucom's Story

“What do you mean you murdered your twin?” Cass demanded after a few moments of tense silence.

“Mateo was a mean, cruel, evil Alpha. He cared more about himself than he ever did about the pack. Everyone saw it, but as you know, no one likes to stand up to their Alpha. In Mateo’s time, more people were banished and/or mysteriously disappeared than we could even count,” Mullucom explained. “When he was younger, we all saw the sparks of his ego and temper. Even as a child, he would be cruel to those he did not like for one petty reason or another. Our father hoped that once Mateo took the mantel of Alpha, he would change. But he didn’t. If anything, he got worse.”

“How have we never heard this?” Fyn asked, aghast at the story.
