Chapter 32 – The Clash

“Only a true best friend can protect you from your immortal enemies.“–Richelle Mead

Anthony

Do I want an alliance with the pack that brutalized my baby sister?

Could I live with that in my conscience?

Neron is a fellow Alpha that needed help. It’s clear from our conversation how much his pack is suffering. Losing soldiers is hard. Watching families continue to suffer weighs on your soul as a leader.

I couldn’t sit by knowing that lives were being taken and not act. Does that make me better than the selfish Alphas who leave their packs to perish?

When I look at Neron, I see a man who’s been through hell and back. He was skilled at hiding his true emotions, but the eyes reveal more truth than the mouth. There is a reason eyes were known as the windows to the immortal soul.

He is worn out, stressed, angry, and sad. So much emotion swam in those blue eyes, some floating, some sinking. It takes a great deal of courage for an Alpha to reach out for help. Typically, Alphas pride themselves on handling devastating situations themselves. Asking for help is like a punch to the gut, but only a few could take that punch and emerge unharmed.

However, this is the same Alpha who hurt my little sister, turning her into a frail werewolf living in fear of her shadow. And rejected their mate bond–the most brutal thing a wolf could do to their other half. She suffered because of him and his pack. I couldn’t help but think back to all those times Kiya woke up screaming from nightmares. The days were treads around like a monotonous zombie and days where her weight progress was threatened because she stopped eating for days.

Anger boiled in my blood. It is so frustrating, and it takes every ounce of my self–control to stop my wolf, Axel, from avenging his sister’s suffering. In the past five years, Axel had been protective of Kiya and her wolf, Artemis. It pains him to see her suffering. He wanted Neron to hurt as bad as she did. But we both knew it wouldn’t help the situation. I must remain calm and civil, and I thanked the Moon Goddess for having Alesia by my side.

Alesia went to put little Ximey down for her nap while the rest of us headed to the dining hall for lunch. I’ll decide on whether to accept the alliance by the end of today before the Zircon members leave for Nevada.

“Alpha.” I hear Jacqueline through the mind–link. “I let Kiya know that we’re heading to the hall for lunch. She is heading to the kitchen with Sapphire and Phoebe.”

“I thought she is holing herself up in her room for the day?”

“She got hungry.”

“Ah.”
