The Apocalyptic Queen's Werewolf Journey (Thora and Darius) novel Chapter 136

**Shadows Hearts by Joseph King**

**Chapter 136: I Won’t Tolerate Traitors**

“Boss,” Ashton announced, his voice slicing through the tension in the air as he knocked and ushered someone into the room.

After a few days spent in solitary confinement, Shirley’s wild energy had finally begun to settle. With her head bowed, she resembled a child caught in a lie, slowly shuffling toward Thora.

Ashton stepped aside, his presence fading into the background, allowing the two women to confront one another.

“Thora, at last! You’ve arrived!” Shirley exclaimed, a grin breaking across her face as she attempted to plop down into a chair with the confidence of someone who owned the place.

“Did I give you permission to sit?” Thora’s voice was low yet sharp, slicing through the room like a knife.

Before Shirley could even settle into the chair, that single line jolted her upright. Her smile evaporated, replaced by a look of shock as she froze in place.

Thora’s frown deepened, her gaze unwavering.

She had always understood that the Wolflang Unit was not some rigid, rule-following military organization. Thora didn’t want soldiers who merely obeyed orders; she craved partners who could strategize and think on their feet in the chaos of battle.

Yet, that jittery energy radiating from Shirley? Thora never intended to extinguish it completely.

However, there were boundaries she simply could not ignore.

“If you ever harm your teammates, your friends, or your family again, you’re out. No second chances,” Thora declared, fixing Shirley with a serious, unwavering stare.

Shirley bit down on her lip, a flicker of hurt crossing her features as she studied Thora closely.

“I won’t tolerate traitors who betray their own,” Thora continued, her expression unyielding.

“I know…” Shirley’s voice held a tinge of frustration, a defensiveness creeping into her tone. “But they started it! They picked on us first…”

Thora’s lips twitched slightly, a hint of a smile threatening to break through her stern facade. “That won’t happen again,” she assured, her voice softer now.

At the sight of that smile, Shirley’s eyes lit up, and a broad grin spread across her face, dispelling the tension that had hung in the air moments before.

“So… can I sit now?” she asked, her tone hopeful.

Thora raised an eyebrow, her silence serving as an answer.

With a triumphant flourish, Shirley dragged a chair closer, swung a leg over it, and leaned in conspiratorially. “By the way, I rushed over here and totally forgot something. Did you bring it?”

“What’s it?” Thora asked, her brow furrowing in confusion.

Shirley clicked her tongue, lowering her voice to a whisper. “Pads!”

At that time, Amie hadn’t yet awakened. Thora hadn’t tapped into her abilities.

That strength had stemmed purely from her body itself. Not only had she matched her peak from her previous life, but she had surpassed it.

“Amie, did you notice this?” Thora mind-linked, her thoughts racing. “This body isn’t normal.”

“I’ve known for a while!” Amie’s voice crackled with excitement in Thora’s mind. “I woke up this fast because this body nourishes us. Its capacity is insane! It not only supports our power perfectly, but it also keeps raising our limits!”

Thora’s brow furrowed as she asked seriously, “We used the original Thora’s soulstone. Any kind of rejection?”

“Not a single bit!” Amie replied, her tone brimming with confidence. “This body’s soulstone is like it was made just for us. My power fits perfectly with it, and it can even draw energy from the outside.”

“Made just for us…” Thora murmured, lost in thought.

“Thora, don’t forget—you were born different. You’re going to be the strongest on Blue Star!” Her grandfather’s words echoed in her mind, a reminder of her unique destiny.

Thora’s gaze darkened.

Could it all be mere coincidence?

She couldn’t help but ponder whether her rebirth was simply a twist of fate or a path laid out for her by destiny.
