Atticus POV
Blood splatters across the door as I push it open. The heavy wood creeks under my fists, and my knuckles burn from the impact. I don't have the balls to look in the mirror in my office. I know I am covered in blood.
I have never had a loyalty problem before. I have never had to use my Alpha Command on every pack member before. Today I broke every rule I put in place for myself when I became an Alpha. The blood that drips from my body belongs to those who dared to defy me. I never expected so many of my pack members to still be loyal to my father or Theo, but their opinion no longer matters. They are dead, all of them.
I close my eyes and try to calm the unease in my mind. I don't like what this situation has turned me into. This is how my father would have dealt with
