I wanted to ask Rosa what she meant by a war looming, but she barely gave me any chance to talk.
"I would stand by you," she continued, her voice softer now, like a whisper meant for the part of me that still craved comfort.
Little did she know that I already got all the comfort I needed and already had someone to be with me for a lifetime, offering me the same.
My María José.
"Don't you repeat your lack of ambition, Axel. You have me, so think of that as having the world. I will stand by you until you become the leader of all the werewolf packs. Not just this one. All of them with every last Alpha kneeling at your feet."
The galls of this woman. She and I had never discussed such and I don't remember telling her I wanted every existing Alpha to bow to me.
Bold of her to try to impose her ambitions on me.
I shook my head. "When have I ever told you that's what I want?"
