For a moment, his wolf remained silent. Levi even thought it would refuse to respond altogether, but eventually, its voice echoed in his consciousness.
"No. No matter how loyal I am to our Alpha, there are limits. For us wolves, our mates come first, and our loyalty to the Alpha we serve comes second. Besides, after learning the whole truth, I can't deny that our Alpha has been a complete fucking idiot. I'm not going to defend him or make excuses for his actions anymore."
Its tone was unusually resigned, almost weary. After countless occasions of defending Zion and reminding Levi to show his Alpha proper respect, even the wolf seemed to have finally reached its limit.
And honestly, how could it not? If Zion hadn't been so stubborn, foolish, and blinded by his own damn pride, perhaps things wouldn't have spiraled so badly. Perhaps Addison wouldn't have suffered so much, and perhaps none of them would have ended up in this miserable situation.
