There was a defeaning silence that ensued for some minutes before Danika finally found her voice.
Mordred had been caught off guard by Alpha Damien's question and because of that, he had faltered, unsure of what to say. Seeing Nandi reveling where she was, Danika saw the moment as an ample opportunity to make Damien aware of how she was being treated, sure that pack politics would keep him busy from doing so.
"I wanted to bring something to your notice Alpha" Danika began, her eyes flickering to Nandi.
" The head of the workers has consistently been cruel to my family and me. I don't know if it's because of our circumstances or for reasons I don't understand, but I would like you to address her conduct. We're treated like less than wolves."
She glanced quickly at Mordred, hoping her words would shift the attention away from the lie he had just told.
However, she didn't anticipate what he did next.
