My True Mate

I don’t say a word, hardening my heart against the child. He had clearly been about to do something if Ariel's actions are any indication. When I look in her direction, Ariel looks furious.


“Let my son go!” She says angrily. “He’s a child! I this is how you treat the children in your pack, no wonder they asked me to replace you!”


“Asked you?” I ask, coldly. “They must've forgotten that they have a blood bond with me. You should know what that means, Ariel."


When Ariel’s eyes narrow, I smile, “It means that to choose an Alpha they have to kill me first. But they need a good reason to do so.”


“Like they don’t have it!” Ariel spits out.


I'm a little surprised at her anger. I thought she was conniving and smart. If she had handled this conversation in a more composed manner, she would have had a better chance of getting one up on me. 


But she seems agitated for some reason, shooting glances towards Silas and then towards the tree line.
