As I walked downstairs, I heard Darius talking to somebody behind closed doors.
"It's not safe, Alpha."
"Do I need you to tell me that?" Darius replied with a deep voice. "We'll collect twenty men and spread across the border. The rest will stay here to protect our pack. We will put an end to this for good."
I've had it with these secret meetings behind my back. I marched angrily toward the door.
"We'll meet in front in an hour. You're dismissed," he instructs them in a hurry, just as I open the door without knocking.
"Good morning, Luna," the men greeted me on their way out. I waited for their footsteps to fade, piercing Darius with a deadly stare.
"How long have you been standing there?" he asks without coming closer.
I enter, slamming the door. "Not long enough," I cross my arms.
