Chapter 11

JAMES’ POV

My jaw clenched in anger, barely holding myself back at the Christian proposition. Emily stood across from him, discussing the terms of their bet his eyes trained on her.

She didn't need more trouble than she already had. Regina and Lucy weren't gone for good and I knew they would still fight her for control of the pack.

I couldn't watch her add more opponents and barriers to her claim on the throne. She needed the pack members to trust her but she didn't need to sacrifice so much just to prove herself

I stepped forward to interrupt them but I held myself back, waiting patiently.

Emily ended her conversation with Christian, turning to the children and I rushed towards her, my face set deep in disapproval.

"Emily, are you sure about this?" I asked, my eyes intense. "This bet could put everything in the pack at risk. You should be focused on leading the pack, not fighting with Christian."
