Emma's Pov
Matthew's fist struck Michael's jaw with an audible impact, the force enough to leave a cut on my former mate's lip. The air around us seemed to stop for a moment, a tense silence enveloping us all in that second. Before Michael could retaliate, I instinctively stepped forward toward the two and stood in front of them with my arms open, trying to calm the tense situation. I know that my unprepared body to confront the two is not enough to stop them, but I need to try anyway.
I can't let a battle break out between the two wolf packs because of me. That would trigger a war between the Night Howlers Pack and my Moonshadow Pack.
"Enough!" I shout to both of them. Michael and Matthew stand still, but I still notice the tension between the two. I scan all the members of my pack.
