I paused for a moment, then shook my head with a slight smile.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'm still waiting for your mate's formal apology and that hundred acres of borderland territory."
At those words, the wolves gathered around the feast table could no longer hold their tongues.
"Sister Selene, since this bottom-feeding runt refuses to accept your mercy, why bother showing him any kindness at all!"
"Besides, he insulted Alpha Darius in front of everyone here. How can we let him walk away without teaching him a lesson!"
"That's right, Sister Selene! Just give the command! The few of us will pin him down and make him press his forehead to the ground for you!"
These opportunistic wolves weren't about to miss their chance to prove their loyalty. One after another, they urged Selene to use force against me.
Selene pressed her lips together, then slowly nodded her head.
"Anyone who puts their hands on him tonight gets rewarded with a hundred thousand in pack credits!"
Several broad-shouldered males immediately rose from their seats, moving to force me to my knees.
Garrick Pineward saw the danger closing in and instantly positioned himself as a shield in front of me.
