Flora's POV:
Geoffrey's shamelessness really crossed the line.
I wrinkled my nose in disgust. "Shouldn't a leader have a conscience? Not only do you use werewolves' lives as a bargaining chip, but you've also made your pack a living hell. You make me sick."
"Little girl, there's no need to get so worked up." Geoffrey shrugged off what I said without batting an eyelash. He shrugged, as though he was helpless. "You're too young. If it weren't for this wall, the vampires would have already invaded the city. Besides, the werewolves outside the wall are all weak. It's simply survival of the fittest. It's better for them to die than to live and waste air and resources."
"What the fuck are you talking about, old man?" Angry beyond belief, I turned to the trembling Felix and couldn't help but yell at him. "Don't you have anything to say for yourself?"
Felix looked terrified. He squatted on the ground and hugged his knees tightly, rocking back and forth. In that moment, it was as though he really was useless rubbish, just as Geoffrey had said.
I rushed over and pulled Felix to his feet. "Say something! What are you so afraid of? You were so talkative before! Why won't you say anything now?"
Felix felt as weightless as a ragdoll when I pulled him. "Don't hurt me please!" he yelped in fear.
"Why, you—!" My eyes turned red with anger. It was the first time that I had been so angry in my life.
When Felix showed us his sewer home, I was under the impression that he was a tough boy. Little did I know that he was actually a coward.
Warren walked up to me, gently pulled my hand away from the boy, and patted my back comfortingly. "He's just a child, Flora."
I shot Felix one last glare before turning around. I didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Geoffrey smiled complacently. "I know it's a foreign concept to you right now, but it doesn't matter. Why don't you all go back and get some rest? After all, you haven't slept all night. We shall meet again tomorrow to continue this conversation."
