That night Ethan gathered the warriors he trusted and had already interrogated and they were under Alpha command to keep everything secret. Warriors from both packs gathered outside while Ethan, Mason and Knox finalized the plan to rescue the girls. Ethan insisted I stay behind because I wasn’t trained enough and I hated it. We hadn’t even talked about our argument, but I could still feel his anger lingering between us. He wasn’t used to being challenged, but I wasn’t going to let him control everything I did. They went outside to brief the warriors while I stayed on the veranda, knowing there was nothing I could do. Nova could help in a fight but Ethan refused to let me go, even trying to enforce it. But Alpha commands didn’t work on me, not fully, not when I had Alpha blood too.
