"He challenged you for the Alpha position?" Kace asked for confirmation, he was surprised that Maximus would be so reckless to think that he could make Jedrek kneel before him when he wasn't even capable to beat Kace.

"After everything that he had done for you, he finally failed to hide his true colors from you. You should have executed him together with the rest of his family," Kace scoffed.
