[Ellie's P.O.V.]
I was delighted to see that Doug was already wavering. It seemed that he wasn't that stubborn after all. However, his next words were like a bucket of cold water that had been poured over me. "I won't tell you the answer to every question, so I'll have to listen to your questions first before I decide if I should tell you or not." His eyes flashed with a hint of slyness.
I was a little angry and slammed the table. "You're the prisoner now. You don't have the right to negotiate with me!"
It was obvious that Doug was not afraid. He straightened his back and said, "What can you do if I don't tell you? You're just a rogue she-wolf. Even if you're the boss of Moon Manor, you don't have the right to meddle with the law, do you? I think you're just a fox borrowing the might of a tiger to threaten me!"
