"What?!"
A symphony of voices echoed throughout the clearing in a mix of surprise, denial, and horror. My voice was the loudest one of all. My ears must have been addled by magic, but so was everyone else's.
"You can't! Harper is just as wolfless as you are!" Dahlia screamed, her voice threatening to shatter my eardrums. "Are you fucking insane? Do you want to run Thunderstrike into the ground?"
"Not to mention, she is Beta Blaise's mate! That makes her a member of Fangborne! You hate Fangborne, remember?" Dahlia pointed out desperately, her eyes bulging in shock.
No guesses for the reason for her overreaction; the only thing that was more humiliating than being passed over the position for Thunderstrike's Alpha was finding out that a wolfless human from a decimated werewolf pack was now second in command.
