James's POV
Tonight has been the noisiest night of my life. Not because there was a party or any disturbance in my pack, but because of what's been on my mind.
After the incident this afternoon, I've been haunted by guilt. I care deeply for my pack members, and I don't want a battle to happen. I've grown tired of arguing with Simon; he's been challenging my thoughts incessantly.
Even now, he's still chattering away, and I can't dismiss him like I often do with Diz.
"Diz is always on your mind, that's why it's so hard for you to grow. Despite everything Diz has done, I hope you can stop calling him a traitor. He's a valuable wolf in my life, and I want you to respect him, Simon."
"Ah, I'm just doing my duty. I was appointed to help you and get you out of these negative thoughts. Thinking about Diz is one of the bad things you should stop."
