“Velda, how could you use Jason as a shield? He just became a father! His pup hasn’t even opened its eyes. yet. and his mate is waiting for him back in the pack!” Brock snarled.

Velda’s insides were in turmoil, but her eyes darted nervously at Brock, revealing her guilt.

Yet, she forced herself to stay composed and tried to justify her actions. “In the heat of battle, I thought he was one of the Western Tribes‘ wolves. It was too chaotic, and I genuinely didn’t recognize him.

“Save your excuses!” Brock retorted, his voice trembling with anger. “The Western Tribes‘ wolves wouldn’t just stand idly by next to you. And what a poor excuse that is! You can’t just brush off your mistakes so easily!”

Struck a nerve, Velda snapped. “Enough! We’re all captives now. We’ve slaughtered innocents; they won’t let us go easily. Instead of endlessly criticizing me, let’s figure out how to escape!”

Brock refused to back down. “It was your order! You insisted the enemy general was hiding in those houses and claimed some wolves were disguised as civilians. That’s why we carried out the massacre. It was all your idea!”

The other captured wolves erupted in anger.

“It was your command, and you cut off their ears to claim credit for defeating enemies. You turned civilian deaths into false merits. Don’t try to deny it!”
