CHAPTER 37 : Retreat

“We should contact the soldier in battle and tell them about Master Clell’s condition.”

“I think that’s a good idea.”

“His wounds are deep. I don’t think he will recover his full strength tomorrow.”

“Knowing Master Clell, he will still fight.”

“But we can’t risk his life. We need to protect him.”

“But the duty of the alpha is to protect us—his subordinates. We can’t take that away from him. It’ll hurt him. We can’t decide for him.”

The older members of the rescue team were talking in their tents, they were contemplating if they should tell the soldiers to retreat or continue fighting.

“We can’t be the one deciding this. We need Clell’s words and orders. That would mean we’re not respecting and honoring his position.”

“Master Clell, you need to rest.” One of the guys said, noticing Clell approaching them while holding his bandaged chest.

“Why are you talking about me this early?”

“You need to rest more, Master Clell.”
