Death or humiliation?

Danica's body shook with laughter which made everyone go quiet. We all stared at her as she stood up, stumbled a little and righted herself.

Piper watched, mortified. And shocked, we were all shocked.

"To concede means to accept defeat.

To accept defeat from someone who is as low as you means I should feel ashamed of myself. I submit to no one but my Alpha." My heart skipped a beat.

"You are low, you show you have no pride, to continue hitting someone who doesn't hit you back shows who you truly are, and you think you should be the Alpha's mate, you are not even fit to be part of a pack.

What you have shown today is that you have no pride or honor, even when I didn't hit you back or even try to, you continued hurting me, your friends laugh scornfully, they tell me to concede," she faced the crowd. "You shout for me to concede, I Valeria Hortensius the Third will submit to no one but my Alpha!."

Her voice held such power that Piper whimpered.
