Lone Blood

The crimson stream trickling from my beta's nose sated my wolf's appetite for retribution. Upon sighting the dark-haired figure, my fist met his face in a visceral display of frustration.

"How could you act so recklessly!" I snarled, the anger simmering within me.

Evelyn's gaze remained fixed on the ground as he spoke, "I apologize for disobeying, but you must hear me out."

"Let you speak?" I roared, incredulous at their audacity. "You endangered not only yourselves but the entire pack!"

Admitting his folly, Evelyn pleaded for a chance to explain amidst my mounting fury. My patience waned as Finn stumbled over his words, attempting to articulate their impulsive actions.

Though renowned for their prowess, their current behaviour defied logic, testing my restraint to its limits. Despite their entreaties, the gravity of their transgression hung heavy in the air.

"This had better be worth my time," I warned, bracing for their explanation.

Finn stuttered through their rationale, citing their desire to avert inter-pack conflict as motivation for their rash decision. Their revelation of the enemy alpha's mate's plight struck a chord of surprise, even amidst my vexation.

Their cNoralier attitude toward the enemy's affairs irked me, but their motive remained elusive until Finn stumbled over his explanation. Impatience gnawed at me as they fumbled through their justification, prolonging my frustration.

Evelyn's casual dismissal of their actions grated against my resolve, but his revelation about the captive Luna's identity arrested my attention. The name 'Skylar Brooks' failed to trigger recognition, leaving me skeptical of their claim.

Their mention of Alpha Joseph's progeny piqued my interest, overshadowing my initial skepticism. Despite their uncertainty, their assertion demanded verification.

Joseph's legacy held significance, but the circumstances surrounding his heir's existence baffled me. The revelation unsettled me, stirring memories of a bygone era tainted by tragedy.

Though my mother cautioned against entanglement in others' affairs, curiosity gnawed at me. I resolved to investigate the matter further, recognizing the potential implications for our pack.

Evelyn's departure to retrieve the captive Luna prompted a sense of anticipation, tempered by skepticism. The prospect of confronting Joseph's progeny loomed large, eclipsing my earlier frustration.

As I retreated indoors, the allure of understanding Skylar Brooks's true identity beckoned, eclipsing my prior animosity. The pending encounter promised clarity amidst the murky depths of inter-pack strife.

A drink to quell the rising tension seemed prudent as I awaited the enigmatic she-wolf's arrival.
