HE DIDN'T ANSWER. Instead he only nodded.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJM1rwH5ca 維尼
"My father's worst nightmare."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡR39VPDZQtm 維尼
"You shouldn't care about what he thinks, Martyn," I answered after I recovered from my shock. I may have urged Martyn to respect his father earlier but this was different. No one had the right to separate soulmates. "You're allowed to love whoever you want; even more because of the mate bond. It doesn't matter who or what they are... But you can't possibly stop yourself from loving. You shouldn't try, either."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6VqeipAs7 維尼
"Thanks, Weslyn. But-"8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP3m3dSY0j 維尼
"I promise you... I will never let anyone hurt him, alright? Now, let's just go outside." I made my way to the kitchen with Martyn behind me, when I heard shouts coming from the room.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mi1VpFj90 維尼
"We should kill the miserable creature; put it out of it's misery," it was undoubtedly Michael's voice. "The Brown Wolf must die." He was talking about Bryan. I turned to look at Martyn but he had already ran ahead to confront his father.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlPkpiLVeC 維尼
"No! You will not hurt him, father!"8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc3DSNjHz2 維尼
"What do you know about Brown Wolves, Martyn? You're just a boy!" Michael roared. "A naive, little boy."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk9gMdGC6P 維尼
"And you are just a conceited old man who is too prejudiced to treat others equally."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTPmqbvQVp 維尼
"Don't you understand, Martyn? I just want what is best for you," he murmured. "I want to protect you from those beasts."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcBZPjGwYC 維尼
"Do you think I'm still a child, father?" Martyn asked, addressing Michael bitterly. "Do you think I need to be protected? I used to wonder why she left, you know? But now I get it. Maryanne left because of you."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf9KjOgofq 維尼
"Oh my Luna... He just brought Mary into their fight." I glanced up, startled that I hadn't noticed Liam standing there before.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG6gu9bTzc 維尼
"Is she his mother or something?"8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRD4L5pxaj 維尼
"Sister," he replied.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7PuZZ8IHp 維尼
"Martyn has a sister?" I didn't recall seeing such a person in real life or in my memories.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIsCtFXla0 維尼
"Her name is Maryanne Grant and she practically raised Martyn after their mother passed away. She should be around 23 now, but she left when West came to power."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvQ4bVpssC 維尼
"If Mary were still here," Martyn gritted out. "She would be on my side... You know that."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4mDxAMqdU 維尼
"Martyn," I called. He turned to me, his eyes darker than usual. "I'll talk to Michael about this matter. Please go on with your affairs."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bi4Nma4kw 維尼
He bared his teeth at his father and clenched his fingers into fists, before leaving the room loudly.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡqihStcdmQG 維尼
"Remember, Weslyn," he murmured quietly, as he left. "You promised me." I nodded silently in reply.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPWQhSl4lJ 維尼
"You, too, Liam," I added, turning to look at him.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5lV22MiK6 維尼
"Are you sure?"8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ9H2zQgoy 維尼
"Yes, Liam," I responded. "I'll be fine. I just need to talk with him."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjiWDH2HMO 維尼
He looked at me one last time and left the room, leaving me alone with Michael.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcX5qe78Zn 維尼
"Michael Grant," I greeted.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡehb4gl1lS7 維尼
"Alpha."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡWISWBkABeW 維尼
"I'm hearing too many displeasing things from and about you, Michael. I've barely even spent a day in this position. Don't get on my bad side."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKwoXJLLYg 維尼
"Is that so? If I may say so, I don't believe I have done anything wrong," he objected.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzoK7VKdkF 維尼
"I'm afraid I can't let you hurt Bryan or Bryanna Mitchell," I explained. "You see, they're bound under the Promise Code and are loyal to the Grayson family." Michael opened his mouth to argue but I hastily continued to speak. "However, tonight I am meeting with the future Alpha of the Bronze Pack and coming to terms about the packs. I believe so that we will also come to an agreement about the Bryan and Anna."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJHgWzsCBX 維尼
"The future Alpha," he repeated.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRH5wEMEBC 維尼
"Yes, Michael. So, I must ask you... Can I trust you to lay low - at least until the meeting is over?”8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZDwEo3SB5 維尼
For a minute, he didn't answer. He only stared at me, his face, thoughtful and eyes, distant.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyN6zEAQZ6 維尼
"Your wish is my command, Alpha."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JNTqMejf2 維尼
"I will get going, then," I said, turning to leave. "And Michael," I went on. "Please accept Martyn for who he is and don't try to change him."8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YbLW18qi1 維尼
"Of course, Alpha." There was a certain strain to his voice, but I chose to ignore it. Michael was a man with a twisted anti-feminist mind... Of course he was reluctant to obey me.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt7iqGWrfO 維尼
More importantly, I had to go find West. I had to ask him what the agreement was and how I was to talk to the Brown Wolf Beta. There were more pressing matters at hand.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbfXsWefvR 維尼
For a while, I would have to put Martyn and Michael at the back of my mind.8964 copyright protection408ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqzNJORm7A 維尼
