The situation at the start
A Protective Decree Leaves Serena Under Control
Serena describes a royal rule that prevents alphas from rejecting their destined mates and also condemns cruelty toward them. Derek fears losing his position, yet uses his authority inside the room to punish and silence her. The opening exposes a gap between a rule's stated protection and its enforcement: preserving the formal bond does not, in the scenes supplied, give Serena control over her treatment or a reliable means of redress.
