After what felt like one of the most anxiety-driven few seconds of my life, Kylo finally sighed. "Very well, father. The pack needs more hands in the fight against those blood-sucking monsters. If enlisting young blood is the best move forward...then so be it."
I felt my heart drop. No. This couldn’t be happening. There had to be another way. I had to make sure Kylo was safe.
"Thank you for understanding, son." Rhett’s face beamed with a proud smile. "The training will begin in two days from now. You can go get-"
"I’d like to volunteer!" I chirped in, cutting off Rhett. I managed to surprise even myself with those words.

My eyes were filled with determination, unwavering as I stared into Rhett’s eyes. I watched his facial expression contort with stupefaction, but then It was replaced with something akin to amusement.

"So, you think just because I’m a woman, I can’t fight?" I snapped, my wolf already growling inside me.
