I FELT THE SPARK. And from the look on his face, so did he. I stared up at him, struggling to believe it.copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nZbyPhndQ
"What was that?" His voice was a mere whisper.copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz4AbBjdHy
"Nothing," I answered firmly, sitting down on the couch and gesturing him to do the same. "Sit down, Blayze." He sat down, his face full of uncertainty. "Do you know about the agreement Alpha Bronze had with my brother?"copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5H3QObFPN
"I did... Kind of. But I didn't know it was an agreement with the Gray Wolves; not until today," he admitted. "In the morning, I asked him - Lucian - about it... He told me what it was."copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQbg2J5k7i
"And what do you think about it , Blayze?"copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBSfb3Rvhy
"I'm sorry," he apologised. "I'm not too sure what you mean by that."copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EEKHuzSao
"What is your opinion on their agreement?" I explained.copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡGreRHhANBH
"Why would my opinion even matter? I'm just the Beta; a messenger."copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MjZ2u3T0k
"Aren't you the future Alpha?" I asked, frowning slightly. Wasn't the Beta the next in line to become Alpha in the Bronze Pack?copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3Y5OFAnyL
From what Martyn had told me, that was what I had understood about leadership among Brown Wolves. The strongest werewolf would become the Alpha, with the Beta being the next strongest; the Third-in-Command as the next strongest and so on.copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡMec15UiGHT
When the Alpha or any other high-ranked Brown Wolf fell ill or passed away, the wolf in the position directly ascend to fill the gap. In the case of the Alpha, it would be the Beta who became the new Alpha, with all the positions below him or her shifting accordingly.copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNGHMIcQCc
Due to this, the name of the Brown Wolf pack was constantly changing. It was named after their Alpha and the variable name was something that they had become accustomed to.copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4g894OKsm
And now, because Lucian Bronze had fallen ill, the pack would soon be under Blayze's guidance.copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡveAIfGCymj
"That's true," he sighed after a minute. "I guess you're right,Weslyn . My opinion is important, isn't it?"copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK78rUQEKt
"What is your opinion?" I asked, watching him carefully for a proper answer.copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUx63HbRrE
"I don't remember how I was turned or anything," he told me. "I don't even remember my own family. It was Lucian who brought me up, treating me like his son. I felt as though I was closer than blood. He was the Beta at the time and being so close to him made me feel... Empowered. I looked up to Lucian and even wanted to be like him at one point. But when I was made Third-in -Command, I noticed that Brown Wolves started turning up every single month. I suspected that it had something to do with Lucian. When I confirmed it; I was broken. Not only was he being heartless... But I believed myself to know everything about him and hiding such an agreement, broke my trust. It made me lose all the belief that I had in him."copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXTOF9uiHQ
"So, what you are saying is..."copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9BJh3E8Ho
"I respect Lucian. I respected him... But I never agreed with his values or accepted his agreement with Alpha Grayson."copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxj8EmQPeh
"Someone like you, who was turned by brute force,would never be able to support that."copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡusfngVwKdd
"I don't want anyone else to suffer from the fate of a Brown Wolf... I want to end the agreement and coexist with each other."copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPndzEgdNX
"But you're not in power," Liam pointed out.copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpvWyajoZx
"Not yet," he replied. "But I will. It has been estimated that Lucian will die very soon... Before the next full moon. I will meet with you then, again."copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuZVRfQo04
"We'll keep this quiet until then," I agreed. "I look forward to mingling with the Bronze Pack, Blayze."copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCUZPtE6Hr
"Soon to be the Blayze Pack," he murmured. "But same here... Best of luck on being an Alpha. I'm sure you'll do an amazing job."copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kQzgoJzNJ
Blayze stretched out his hand for a handshake and the moment we touched, I felt the spark for a second time. He nodded at Liam and made his way towards the front door.copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sd6o5metn
"What's wrong?" Liam asked, seeing that I was completely frozen, still staring at Blayze as he left.copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5Zc4OGIUo
"It's nothing."copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYJ1y0qiAd
And for the first time in my life, I lied to my mate. I lied to William Moonstone.copyright protection220ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HGfO4laiO
