There were only the two of them inside the throne room. Alpha Gayle was not presence, because he was not summoned to come, and even though sometimes he would admonish Maximus for his rash decision, but he wouldn’t challenge him openly in public.

Therefore, it was especially nerves wrecking for alpha Letto to face the king alone,

And now, the king demanded a proof of his loyalty. He almost committed treason once, it was only right for the king to question him.

With that, alpha Letto used his claws to cut off his own car.

He tore his left ear, gritting his teeth through the pain, and once he was done, he didn’t waste his time to wail in pain, instead, he knelt down again, and put both of his arms up, to offer his severed ear.

Droplets of blood traced down his neck, stained the shirt he was wearing. His hands were bloody as well, while the ear sat on his trembling palms.

“I offer to you my loyalty, my king,” he said through the pain. “You are my king, my blood and the bone of this kingdom,” he chanted the pledge of loyalty for the king.

Seeing this, Maximus’s expression turned into an amusement. This was a move that he didn’t expect, but he was pleased nonetheless that the young alpha took the initiative to do this.

In any case, losing an ear couldn’t be compared to losing your life.

But then, the implication of losing ear was not only disfigurement, but it was also a form of a great sin. A symbol that you have committed a great crime to your sovereign.

And that symbol would be carried by you for the rest of your existence. It would be seen by the other people.

It was more of a social punishment than the physical one.

Maximus smirked when he saw this. Finally, he stood up from his throne and approached Alpha Letto, who was offering him his severed ear.

The king picked up the ear and glanced at the hole on the side of his head. The blood was still oozing out, but his healing ability was taking care of that.

“This will be your last chance, alpha Letto.” Maximus fiddled with the ear between his finger. “One more time you show some indication that I can’t trust you. I am going to feed you alive to the wild wolves.”

Letto gulped down with difficulty when he heard that. Of course, he knew about the king’s infamous wild wolves. They had been feasting over the dead bodies of the traitors. Nobody dared to cross the forest, because of how vicious those wolves were.

“Y–yes, my king. Yes. I will be loyal to you. Only you.”

However, if Letto thought he could be off the hook easily, he was completely wrong about that, because the king didn’t intend to leave him unscathed.

“I will double your pack retribution for six months, and you will give me half of your warriors.”

Alpha Letto lifted his head in shock. “P- Pardon me?”

“You hear me, alpha Letto, I don’t like to repeat myself.”

The Red Moon pack was one of the biggest pack, which led them to wealth. The double retribution wouldn’t burden them, but obviously, it would lessen their profit.
