“This is Opal.” Isabelle appeared beside her before Corinne could even turn around “She used to be a rebellious colt, but not to this degree, until she managed to escape into the fields during a rainy night in a lightning storm destroyed several of the properties, including part of this stable. We found her months later, pregnant and extremely indocile. We had no choice but to bring her back. She was raised indoors, after all, we didn't think she would be able to survive much longer alone outside. However, she doesn't seem to be enjoying being back in her bay very much. She has attacked everyone who comes close and the majority of the pack considers her a threat. As far as I know, there are some discussions among animal breeders about euthanizing her…” “What? Why…?!” Upon realizing that she had spoken here too vehemently, Corinne struggled to bury her emotions, as always “I mean… What is the need to do something like that to a young, healthy mare? Maybe there is more than one baby in

“And, again, we found no trace of the invaders in the forest.” Aiden sighed “Whoever they are, they know very well how to cover their tracks, but we gonna keep looking. At least the tigers' entry into patrols has helped us better protect the borders. We have not had any further reports of invasion, not even in the most remote regions.” “That's good…” Hunter grumbled, trying hard to focus on what Aiden was saying, though his eyes continued to move toward the window of his office, hoping to perhaps meet a certain pair of turquoise eyes outside. “It’s great, isn’t it?” Jennifer celebrated nearby, sitting in one of the armchairs near his desk as she always did when she insisted on attending his meetings, although that day he was too lost in thought to pay attention to her “This means that soon this alliance will no longer be necessary, it is not? Everything will

“Why… You…?” Corinne blinked, as if she was the only one who was surprised there, even though her arms and clothes were covered in blood. “Oh, well…” she looked at herself and then sighed “Here we go again.” “What…?” Hunter whispered, too shocked to even growl, looking down her body to see how, in addition to the blood, the knees of her jeans were filthy with mud, as if she had knelt on the ground so she could split someone in half and being painted red in that “What the fuck did you do…?” “Wait, Hunter…” Felix appears running after Corinne, looking calmer than Hunter expected, in front of that scene “I would never have imagined that one day I would say that about a tiger, especially about this girl, but… It's not what it seems.” “Isn’t that what it looks like?” Hunter glanced between the two, his Alpha instinct

"I heard about your pack having fewer members than ours, but there was no one among these tigers who could take responsibility for the safety of the pack, in addition to the Alpha’s own blood and flesh?”“The tigers of my pack have always done everything they can to protect each generation of Valiant!” she growled and Hunter felt faint as he saw her turquoise eyes shine even more brightly, as a reflection of the presence of her inner beast “This has nothing to do with us teaching our cubs to defend themselves…”“And then send them to war?” he replied “As far as I know, you are not your father’s heir, right? What is the need for him to put you through the kind of training necessary to be on the front lines during a life and death battle?”&ldquo

Before he could even get close enough to the window, however, someone else arrived first. A large tigress placed herself between Jeremy and the bookshelf, using her paws to push the structure away from the boy while using her body to protect him. With the blow, the bookshelf fell backwards again, hitting the other shelves behind it and starting an extremely loud and chaotic domino effect that only ended when the last shelf in the row fell onto a nearby table, leaving a terrible mess of broken wood and books lying on the floor.“Oh, man…” Jeremy muttered, in a mixture of shock and desolation “My father will even sell my clothes to pay for this… And the Alpha will kill me.”In response, Corinne's bestial form just snorted, as if agreeing with the boy, even worrying about pushing the nearest bookshelf away, to allow the young
