HE DIDN'T ANSWER. Instead he only nodded.copyright protection267PENANAWa49wLKMZt
"My father's worst nightmare."copyright protection267PENANAGLCOI1ZOg7
"You shouldn't care about what he thinks, Martyn," I answered after I recovered from my shock. I may have urged Martyn to respect his father earlier but this was different. No one had the right to separate soulmates. "You're allowed to love whoever you want; even more because of the mate bond. It doesn't matter who or what they are... But you can't possibly stop yourself from loving. You shouldn't try, either."copyright protection267PENANAPvX5zE32rT
"Thanks, Weslyn. But-"copyright protection267PENANAM30izUpo6N
"I promise you... I will never let anyone hurt him, alright? Now, let's just go outside." I made my way to the kitchen with Martyn behind me, when I heard shouts coming from the room.copyright protection267PENANAjUvQEtCHSd
"We should kill the miserable creature; put it out of it's misery," it was undoubtedly Michael's voice. "The Brown Wolf must die." He was talking about Bryan. I turned to look at Martyn but he had already ran ahead to confront his father.copyright protection267PENANAZ94KAIxwXr
"No! You will not hurt him, father!"copyright protection267PENANABWSDGDoPpj
"What do you know about Brown Wolves, Martyn? You're just a boy!" Michael roared. "A naive, little boy."copyright protection267PENANAh2e5oNs6SG
"And you are just a conceited old man who is too prejudiced to treat others equally."copyright protection267PENANAZxIXA9fZLY
"Don't you understand, Martyn? I just want what is best for you," he murmured. "I want to protect you from those beasts."copyright protection267PENANAaCSeVu0hCd
"Do you think I'm still a child, father?" Martyn asked, addressing Michael bitterly. "Do you think I need to be protected? I used to wonder why she left, you know? But now I get it. Maryanne left because of you."copyright protection267PENANAnrftLwfxvB
"Oh my Luna... He just brought Mary into their fight." I glanced up, startled that I hadn't noticed Liam standing there before.copyright protection267PENANAThyJeFZBaW
"Is she his mother or something?"copyright protection267PENANAR8LMoieggT
"Sister," he replied.copyright protection267PENANA0ycpZ3wgnc
"Martyn has a sister?" I didn't recall seeing such a person in real life or in my memories.copyright protection267PENANAymQVPqbT5X
"Her name is Maryanne Grant and she practically raised Martyn after their mother passed away. She should be around 23 now, but she left when West came to power."copyright protection267PENANAHUGOLukHST
"If Mary were still here," Martyn gritted out. "She would be on my side... You know that."copyright protection267PENANAYCVZuqAnGk
"Martyn," I called. He turned to me, his eyes darker than usual. "I'll talk to Michael about this matter. Please go on with your affairs."copyright protection267PENANApw1IY9bv7U
He bared his teeth at his father and clenched his fingers into fists, before leaving the room loudly.copyright protection267PENANAiVHaNpzra3
"Remember, Weslyn," he murmured quietly, as he left. "You promised me." I nodded silently in reply.copyright protection267PENANA8xJWS7RoNx
"You, too, Liam," I added, turning to look at him.copyright protection267PENANAyBB6CGcFIB
"Are you sure?"copyright protection267PENANAgrZ023qwLH
"Yes, Liam," I responded. "I'll be fine. I just need to talk with him."copyright protection267PENANAc4VjgHtgQP
He looked at me one last time and left the room, leaving me alone with Michael.copyright protection267PENANAmeazXrnmSX
"Michael Grant," I greeted.copyright protection267PENANALszRkxEZwq
"Alpha."copyright protection267PENANAizEjgk3aGi
"I'm hearing too many displeasing things from and about you, Michael. I've barely even spent a day in this position. Don't get on my bad side."copyright protection267PENANAQLOeUjRAXf
"Is that so? If I may say so, I don't believe I have done anything wrong," he objected.copyright protection267PENANAr3WDHZQBKK
"I'm afraid I can't let you hurt Bryan or Bryanna Mitchell," I explained. "You see, they're bound under the Promise Code and are loyal to the Grayson family." Michael opened his mouth to argue but I hastily continued to speak. "However, tonight I am meeting with the future Alpha of the Bronze Pack and coming to terms about the packs. I believe so that we will also come to an agreement about the Bryan and Anna."copyright protection267PENANAWgV1Hbl8wt
"The future Alpha," he repeated.copyright protection267PENANAV0HtXzhQli
"Yes, Michael. So, I must ask you... Can I trust you to lay low - at least until the meeting is over?”copyright protection267PENANATQSDYdpv4g
For a minute, he didn't answer. He only stared at me, his face, thoughtful and eyes, distant.copyright protection267PENANAiTqOcoMUUL
"Your wish is my command, Alpha."copyright protection267PENANA6bHlZt8G6s
"I will get going, then," I said, turning to leave. "And Michael," I went on. "Please accept Martyn for who he is and don't try to change him."copyright protection267PENANA0CK53jJ0Eo
"Of course, Alpha." There was a certain strain to his voice, but I chose to ignore it. Michael was a man with a twisted anti-feminist mind... Of course he was reluctant to obey me.copyright protection267PENANAt4352LaOMZ
More importantly, I had to go find West. I had to ask him what the agreement was and how I was to talk to the Brown Wolf Beta. There were more pressing matters at hand.copyright protection267PENANAfFjl9l6P8d
For a while, I would have to put Martyn and Michael at the back of my mind.copyright protection267PENANAV8ptCy2Gtw
