Ethan didn't want Marcus to follow them in the first place because of his tendency to misbehaving moreover he has once told Ethan that he was soon going to be joining force with Liam. But insisted he was going to go with them to rescue Avery as though he now takes side with Ethan.
"What's wrong, Marcus?" Ethan asked, glancing at his Beta as they ducked behind a cluster of trees. The distant growls of rogues echoed in the night, growing louder with each passing second. "You've been quiet this whole mission."
Marcus looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Just focused, Alpha. This isn't exactly the ideal situation."
Ethan tilted his head, studying him. "That's not like you. You always have something to say, even in the middle of chaos. Spill it."
Marcus hesitated, glancing at the rest of the pack members nearby. "We don't have time for this," he muttered, his tone defensive. "We should keep moving before Liam's rogues catch up."
