Chapter 77

You've had the complete wolf clan behind you.

No, Gabriel. I have had the determined help of a helpless people still ready for the return of the Alpha they truly desired.

Levi voice was a spiteful hiss in his head.

Gabriel blinked. What are you speakme about? They were all furious at me. None of them stood towards my casting out.

Because they all knew you would fight back. They follow you, Gabriel. They don't see you as needing them—they assume they want you. They're itching to see you kill Mark and defeat the humans.

Then Levi smiled a smile that flashed like a blade. I hope you succeed, I clearly do. And if you do, I will remain submitted. But if you don't… I will be the first to take your throat.

Gabriel huffed. There's nothing more touching than the love of family, he said in Lhar's head, his tone as dry as kindling. Thank you for your support.

Levi rolled his eyes and looked away as if the dialog was over.
