202 A can of worms….

There was silence for a minute before he sighed. “The only reason I had seemed powerless in the past is mainly because of my grandfather and a few elders. The goal is to retire them all, bring in a new set of people…”

“What about him?” I asked.

So, we don’t have to worry about manpower or packs being vulnerable when they send out their entire warriors.”

“Yeah, I know but Nathan refused to sign and he didn’t give his reasons. But…” he reached for my hands, pressing warm kisses inside my palm. “Nathan is stubborn, Ly. I don’t know, most times his actions are irrational and he plays the victim.”

“The way you make it sound…” he queried with a frown.

“Isn’t this what you wanted? My body…”
