Lance’s POV “What the hell is going on here?” I demanded. No one answered me. My chest tightened as anger surged through me. “Do you all think I’m stupid?!” I shouted, my voice echoing through the hall. I couldn't hold back anymore. I slammed my hands on the table and flipped it over. The loud crash sent a wave of panic through everyone in the room. My rage was overflowing, practically vibrating through the walls. My wolf stirred aggressively inside me, feeding off the tension. “Lance, what are you doing?” Arielle suddenly appeared, rushing into the room. Her voice was soft, concerned, but I ignored her. “Are you sneaking behind my back?!” I growled at them, stepping closer. They all shook their heads quickly. “No, Alpha! We would never do that!” one of them said, his voice shaking.
