Thunder gave a nod of approval. “They do not answer to me, but to the oldest tenets of the Wolf Clan. Do you remember the first tenet?”
Thane sighed. “Strength is power.”
“Strength is power,” Thunder repeated. “And if the Wolf Clan Alpha shows weakness, any at all, the shield maidens… redistribute the balance of power.”
Thunder stepped close to Thane and put a massive arm around his son’s shoulder. “What I said in there, about you never being the strongest wolf in the pack… I was speaking as the Clan Alpha, not as your father.”
Thane lowered his gaze, embarrassed.
“Everyone in this kingdom expects the world of Fang,” Thunder continued. “Nobody has ever expected anything from you, which makes your accomplishments that much greater.”
“What accomplishments?” Thane muttered. “They call me the Prince of Blades, but I’ve not earned that title.” He glared at his father. “Fang is the Winter Wolf. Freyja is Snowstrider. You are Clan Alpha. All titles earned through fire and blood… but Prince of Blades was given to me.”
“You don’t think you deserve it? Why?” Thunder was taken aback. “Because you can’t best Fang in battle? Nobody can. Nobody except me.” He glanced over to the shield maidens across the training grounds. “That is how the hierarchy works. You can best any beneath your station, and that’s all we’ll ever expect of you.”
