Emily instantly shifted tactics, turning to Andrew, her voice soft and soothing.

“Andrew, calm yourself. Mason cares deeply for me; he has just awakened and is still in considerable pain. He cannot speak clearly; he certainly did not intend to disregard me.”
The tension in Andrew’s face eased slightly at Emily’s gentle words.
His wolf, sensitive to her calming influence, lowered its hackles.
Mason felt a pang of gratitude for her defense, although unease still lingered regarding her retreat in the pack council grounds.
Her current kindness, however, offered some comfort.
“Mason, don’t blame Andrew; he is only worried about me… in truth, it is
my
fault.
If I had been braver…”
Her words appeased Andrew, absolved herself, and subtly reminded Mason that his injuries were a direct consequence of my inaction.
Before Mason could respond, Andrew’s anger reignited.
“That ungrateful she–wolf! Her actions grow bolder! Does she believe she can escape unscathed after abandoning the Silvermoon Pack?” Andrew sneered, his eyes flashing with cold fury. His wolf growled low in his throat, its teeth bared.
“Andrew, do not be rash. Isabella is still family.” Emily deliberately stressed the word “family,” a calculated attempt to further manipulate the
situation.
Her
remark only fueled his wrath.“Family? She herself declared she is no longer a Silvermoon wolf, that she refuses our name!” Resentment burned in his eyes, a dangerous glint reflecting the moonlight through the den window.
“The resources of the Silvermoon Pack, the prestige of our name–does she believe it is so easily discarded?”
Emily feigned fright.“Andrew, what do you intend to do?”
Coldness filled Andrew’s eyes.“I will teach her a lesson, a lesson she will never forget! She must learn the consequences of betraying the Silvermoon Pack!”
A fleeting flicker of triumph crossed Emily’s eyes, instantly masked by a worried expression.
Her wolf watched with keen interest as Andrew’s anger was further fueled.
“Isabella is merely headstrong. If you are too harsh, you may drive her further away…”
“That is her own doing!” Andrew’s anger intensified with each placating remark from Emily.
His wolf was eager for retribution.
He sneered coldly.“I hear there are complications with the newly developed serums from the Crimson Moon Apothecary?” His words were a veiled threat, hinting at a dangerous plan.
