FakeNovelChapter 49 Xena's POV "Have you invited the Darkthorn Pack to the children's gathering?" Dad asked.
"Of course I did. It's the polite thing to do," Martha replied sweetly.
"How could you be so stupid? His son threatened X!" Logan exploded. "Watch who you're talking to!" Martha shrieked, edging closer to my father.
"Martha!" Dad's voice boomed through the room. "This is serious. He threatened to challenge anyone who mates with X. This is a huge problem!" She noticed Dad's tone and moved to take his hand. "Who knows, maybe he'll be her mate. Besides, she's always wanted to leave, hasn't she? She could go with him. I heard he travels frequently. And having a strong mate would be good for her-" SLAP! The room fell silent. Everyone stared in shock.
I wasn't entirely sure what happened. One second I was looking out the window, the next... I'd crossed to Martha, faced her, and slapped her with all my strength.

Looking back; I realized it was Samuel who'd restrained me. He stared at the ceiling, eyes narrowed to slits. My heart still raced in my chest.
"There's nothing we can do right now," Dad muttered.
"This could trigger a war. We need to appear friendly. See what his next move is. They're unpredictable," Alpha Benedict began.
"We're stronger than them!" William said, cracking his knuckles.
"We don't want war. We need to handle this correctly. So far, it's just verbal threats. He violated the treaty by entering your shop. I'll call Alpha Wiley and speak with him," Dad sighed.
"What about X's safety?" Logan asked anxiously.
"She won't go to school. Continue with what you're doing. So far, aside from threatening to challenge her mate, he hasn't directly threatened her," Dad said.
"Dad! No! She can't go to school!" Logan persisted.
"I can and I will." The room fell silent as everyone turned to look at me. My voice was calm, but inside I was boiling. They all treatedlike a little girl who needed protection, and I was tired of feeling this way. Maybe I was afraid, but being afraid didn't mean backing down. My wolf howled inside me, eager to prove her strength.
"I accept your protection, but I won't let him stopfrom living my life. I'm not going to hide in my room like sfrightened little girl. No, I am Alpha Hank's daughter, an Alpha female, and I won't be intimidated easily." My voice sounded more confident than I felt.

"I think her safety isn't what we need to worry about.

Samuel puffed out his chest like this was skind of competition. Ryder stood up too.
"This has nothing to do with either of you. As far as I'm concerned, she's still a member of this pack," Samuel declared.
