Corrine let out a low growl.
“No?” she questioned.
“You are the leader of the Valkyrie, and you need to stay with them,” Axel replied.
“I feel confident in their ability to stand and wait,” Corrine replied with more than a bit of irritation in her voice.
“I have given my orders,” Axel stated.
Corrine growled.
“I am still Luna of this pack, and my experience leading soldiers is far greater than yours. If you think that you can make me–“
“I made an oath to stay within the borders of Winter to protect my people because you insisted,” Axel interrupted, looking down at her with a serious look. “I have kept my oath and will defend my people. As will you.”
“I will, from the battlefield,” Corrine insisted.
“No, you will not,” Axel replied.
They stared at each other, determined to convince the other of their view. But it was Corrine that looked away.
“Why are you being so damn stubborn!” she growled.
