Your brother was warned about how he was speaking to the hosting Alpha but continued to be disrespectful. According to werewolf law, disrespect is handled however the territory's Alpha sees fit.

Time comments from where he is walking around the living area, deciding on mini statue in the shape of a lion to comment harshly on. “I’m inclined to agree,” I say dismissively. Thought looks at me pointedly while I smother a smile. To be honest, it’s enjoyable watching the way Time twists Thoughts patience. No one bothers him more than Time, so it’s interesting to see him try to rein in his anger. Time winks at me, clearly aware of my motive.
