“You never expected this? You had us sleeping together since we were babies. When we were thirteen, you all knew what we were doing in that bed, but you all said nothing. You all encouraged it. We had your approval Clayton’s voice sounds slightly pained and tight. A purple, angry–looking bruise is blossoming open on his jaw line.
More wolves are showing up. They remind me of locusts devouring the sight in front of them,
“You all thought we would end up mates, and when that didn’t happen, you just wanted us to stop. How could you just stop loving someone? You can’t!” he screams. Fists clenching, blood drips down onto the earth to soak up.
“We tried to break up, but we just couldn’t. How can you when what we have is real?” His voice cracks.
“You were so happy that she attacked me, weren’t you? Gave you the excuse to have her shunned by the pack, hoping I would change my mind, come around. Kept her nice and safe from any other wolf who might want to sniff her out.” He’s accusing his father now, pointing fingers in Laces that need to be punched
More wolves are showing up. I can see them eating up all this family business that should be kept behind closed doors. Except he’s decided to air it all out on the line.
Clayton turns to Dallas, sizing him up and down. He gives a puff of exhaled breath as if he’s absolutely no real threat to him.
“You’re going to have to take a number.” That’s all he says to Dallas before turning slightly from him.
“We never thought this would happen,” Luna Catherine interjects, her female voice sounding high in contrast to the males lower threatening rumbles.
“What? Are you kidding me! You’re the one who told her from birth that she was mine, what a beautiful daughter she is. You were grooming her from birth to be the next Lima. Do you knowhow bad Kennedy felt when you found out we weren’t mates and you would take her away on hunting trips?“” fingers make big quotations in the air.
“She loves you. You paraded her around. She never said anything to you because she just wanted you to like her again. She did everything you asked without complaint. She has done nothing wrong but love me.” His voice cracks slightly. He’s putting it all on the table for these wolves to feast on “I remember the day we sat both families down and told you we weren’t mates. All of you crying, the tears you all shed for us. Then you said we had to stop!” He’s toe to toe with his father now. Same size, one made on the edge of his prime, the other males on the edge of retirement.
Boola Chapter
“You thought what a strong bloodline we would make, what pups we would have. I remember the shock on your face, Mom, when you found out Rya was mine. The disappointment, a low rank going to take your spot. You couldn’t believe it.” Soch skeletons he’s revealing for all these wolves to see. Family business that should not be made public. He’s showing their opinion of low ranks, Murmuring from the audience starts to grumble in outrage.
My head lowers at his words, I never really felt we were of low status. My father was a hard worker, and my mother made sure we were clean, fed, went to school. We never went without ever. We had a good family until I met my mate.
“Look at her now, Mom! You must have been so surprised when she came back. Not the same little juvenile that left. No, not the same at all.” He’s looking at me now, up and down, his eyes loving what he’s sering
(gears shifting.
“I hope you never get your claws into her. She’s too good for this family.” His mother looks like the inside of a great grandfather clock, p tuming, switching with her thoughts.
“I’m sorry, Rya. I would never end you. I don’t have it in me. I feel so sorry you have someone like me as your mate. I have failed you, my pack, the moon. I just couldn’t let her go.” He’s squaring up to both the Alpha and the Beta.
