Chapter 83: Bait Us Out
After returning from the restroom, Lethia spotted Rowan and Flo eating quietly.
Chasey was still hunched over her long ruler, using it to nudge the snake inside the box, trying to shift it just enough to grab the red card suppressed underneath.
No wonder Chasey was so sharp and easy to get along with—turns out she’d been part of a hiking community and used to trekking mountains through the countryside.
So really, snakes were nothing. If she ever ran into a mutated abstract beast in the middle of the wild, she’d probably fight it fearlessly.
Then Lethia’s eyes drifted to Adam, who was eating alone, seated apart from Rowan and Flo. She walked over and quietly sat beside him.
"I’m sorry," Lethia said carefully. Back in the restroom, she’d been turning over the right words to say to him.
Adam had looked a bit off earlier. But being direct and honest without sugarcoating things was always the best way to speak to a Beta like him.
Without pausing his meal or even looking up, he asked flatly, "Sorry for what?"
"I feel like you’re sulking because I changed the plan."
He stilled, then glanced her way. "For someone brilliant at strategy, you sure do feel too much." A crooked smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
"I’m fine. I just thought maybe, just once, a Beta like me could lead a team. But I can’t compete with your Alpha she-wolf dominance, can I? That’s just how our nature is.
