Nora:

“There you go, we have our warrior coming over,” Rollo rolled his eyes, leaning against the fence at the training ground, wearing a long black overcoat and big boots that made him look even taller.

“Babe! She’s going to fight the mutants?” I hadn’t realized Brody’s Luna

would be here today. They were already married and she was invited over

to the pack’s meetings and training.

“She claims to be able to handle it,” Brody tucked the loose strands of hair behind her ear and then glanced my way, probably checking my reaction. I was indifferent.

I was nursing three babies and worrying about my fourth. If he thought his little gestures with his chosen mate were bothering me, he was wrong. I was way past all this bullshit.

“But how? And why would we let her do that? I mean, what if we catch the mutant and she can’t even fight it? Then what? We’ll be triggering them,” I never thought I’d say this, but his mate seemed more intelligent and logical than he was. Rollo and Brody shared a glance before Rollo. cleared his throat, “Your Highness, you probably don’t know much about this. I would recommend you enjoy the weather and the sights.”

That was so dismissive. Even her smile faded away. I knew this royal beta

was full of himself but the way he always dismissed anyone who had some suggestions was just surprising.

“What he means is, you shouldn’t worry. Everything will be fine,” Brody quickly came to his defense, but she nodded weakly and decided to walk

away.

“Babe–Rollo!” Brody gave his royal beta one last judgmental glance. before speeding after the upset beauty. After they left, my eyes fell upon Rollo, who had been staring at me for my reaction.

“It must really bother you to see all this,” Rollo smirked.

“All this?” I raised my brow, tilting my head to examine his reaction. He

seemed to be smirking, but at what, I had no clue.

“Brody going after his upset luna and you standing here mateless and

loveless,” he pouted, pulling his nose up and then faking a sad face.

“Yeah. It’s shocking how a royal beta is acting like a teen bully,” I pointed out, causing his smirk to vanish.

“Not the same timid little Nora I met when you arrived,” he commented.

“Of course not. If you’re still the same after so many months, then you should worry about yourself. It’s time to grow up, soon,” I shrugged and noticed how his jaw clenched.

“Janet is not wrong though. What if you lose?” Rollo now wanted to focus on the concerns Janet had raised.

“Well, I suppose the mutants will start a war on us,” I gave him a tight-

lipped smile, which seemed to irk him. However, he didn’t come closer to

threaten me.

“You know that anklet? It will keep your wolf from taking over entirely. The transformation won’t happen, but you will be able to use most of your wolf’s strength. From the way you were tossing around the royal gamma, I expect you to be all talk,” he straightened his stance and then started walking my way.

“We’ll see,” I finished speaking just as Brody returned.

“Rollo, don’t upset Janet again,” he quickly warned Rollo before approaching me. His face hardened, but his eyes lingered on my face a moment too long before he started speaking.

“We’ll have a large cage prepared so that the mutant doesn’t escape, but what about catching them? How do we plan to do that?” The way they were discussing it made me stare at their faces in disbelief. So all these

months they had prepared for nothing?

“I’ll go,” I said, raising my head and giving them a blunt look.

“Huh?” Brody questioned.

“I said, I will go to the mountains, catch a mutant, bring him here, and then we can fight,” I explained to the group since they seemed to be good for nothing.

“Hmm, sounds like a good idea to me,” Rollo agreed quickly.

“No!” However, Brody’s aggressive head shake made me let out a sigh of exhaustion. He didn’t have a plan of his own and was busy dismissing others.

“Why not?” Rollo inquired, while I stood straight, my expression neutral as I felt nothing.

“In a cage, we can always kill the mutant with guns and weapons, but what if” Brody angrily turned to his beta, who raised his brow at him. “What if they kill her on the mountains?”

The minute Brody voiced his concern, Rollo narrowed his eyes at his alpha. “Why do you care?”

As the question hung in the air and Brody refused to answer, I decided to offer my own input. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Who would bring him money and attention from the other packs and fight the mutants if I die?”
