Ditched Cheating Alpha, I Led My Daughter to Life's Peak novel Chapter 160

Ethel pales. "You're right." Painstakingly slowly, he inches towards Brittany while eyeing Carson.

She glares at him, pointing a warning finger right as his head.

He hesitates. Then he moves behind her anyway.

She stays calm for half a second-which is as long as could be expected with her. Then she starts screaming. "Would you get the hell away from me?"

He stares wide eyed, jerking back a little like he's staring at a crazy person.

"This is serious." Her narrowed eyes scan the room, stopping on Coach Kenet. "You wanna know why the troops aren't unified? It's not because they're weak." She takes a step closer to me, jabbing her finger in my direction. "It's because half of them only know what Mia looks like through mindlink. Our top priority right now is to protect someone they don't even know. That's ridiculous." She looks at me. "It's too much to ask, even for werewolves."

"If they can't sympathize with her, they should at least be able to sympathize with the idea that without her, we'll surely fall to ruin," Coach Kenet says.

Brittany shakes her head. "That's just not enough anymore. A luna is supposed to be the pride and joy of every pack, but before that can happen..." She looks at me again. "You really need to try to get these people to want to die for you. Especially the labor and defense members."

I try to let that sink in. It takes a little longer than I'd care to admit. If I'm understanding this right, I need to try to get people to want to die for me? Die? I don't think that's something I want to ask for, especially knowing I probably wouldn't do the same for them.

Don't get me wrong, I'd die for my family. I might be a little risky for the alphas and betas. But some random werewolf on the side of the street? Um, no? Or at least, I'm not sure. And I wouldn't expect any more of them, especially given how they've been treating me.

I mean, come on. What ever happened to being selfish around here? At least a little bit. Self preservation isn't a bad thing. When did it become a crime to want to save yourself and live? Suddenly running away from this whole situation is looking like a good option. How far are the highways again? I don't suppose my family and I can take the alphas and betas with us? We could all leave the rest of this terrible pack behind (the teachers could come too, if there's enough room).

I turn to Brittany. I can't even look her in the eyes. "So what you're saying is, I need to get the pack to like me by exploring the Aiden and Axel's divisions?"

She nods.
