Alpha MANUEL POV
"f*****g Blackwaters."
I was still pissed from the council meeting. Nero had grabbed me by the throat in front of everyone. Called my pack poor.
I hated him and his whole family.
Especially after what they did to Elena.
My Elena. The fourth bride. She was forced to marry him
She died soonest But I'd seen her body.
That wasn't a curse. That was murder.
I'd sworn to destroy them. All of them.
I walked faster through the forest. Trying to burn off the rage.
Mitch followed silently behind me. He'd been my guard for the council meeting. The only wolf I could afford to pull from the hunt.
The pack needed everyone else. But Mitch wasn't good at hunting.
His hands shook too much. The sounds overwhelmed him. The other wolves moved too fast and he couldn't keep up.
