53. BETA BRENT

Beta Brent's POV

 

 

I was pacing the sitting room. My wife was very mad. My son also watched us display our anxiety and he was less concerned.

 

"I mean, it's Olivia. What were you guys really expecting? For me you and Alpha Rodrigo took so much time. A few days or two weeks after she had locked his wolf and poisoned him, you should have gone ahead with the war."

 

"But, nope. You refuse to advise Alpha Rodrigo, and he refuses to be advised. Ha. I have no words."

 

I felt mad at the way he spoke but I still couldn't bring myself to say anything.

 

"Olivia spoke." I whispered. "She actually said something. Darling, you don't think she has been pretending all the while, do you?"

 

She shook her head. "Pretending? Never. Olivia has always been incapable of speech. But for her to speak now, it's so frightening."

 

"How so?" I asked.
