Ronan POV
“Come here,” my mother demanded.
I knew that tone, but I wasn’t sure how to get around the inevitable argument. Why couldn’t she understand that with the looming threat of the vampires, I needed the pack united? My mother disliked Rebecca hated her even, but if mating her kept my pack united in the face of danger, it was a small price to pay, wasn’t it?
Giving Rebecca an apologetic glance, I detached my hand from hers. She scowled and shot a look toward my mother that wasn’t friendly at all. My wolf rose immediately, demanding that I do something about it.
With a tremendous effort, I pushed him down.
Rebecca pouted. “We just made the announcement. We have to”
“Just a few minutes, Bex,” I cut in, and left her side before her whining could get any louder to join my mother.
