But looking back, she saw the architecture of necessity that had shaped every move, the invisible constraints that had narrowed her options until only one path remained visible.

"Now, I want you to gather as many warriors as you can, go to their pack, and massacre many. Bring heads to me. I want twice the number dead in their pack." "But alpha, this would only make things worse because they would do the same to us too. We should think of a better plan." My Beta says. "There is no better plan."

Alexander began, his voice dropping into a terrifyingly calm, instructional tone. "Since you behaved well, I will let you choose. I will give you three options. You choose one from them. I will repeat the options twice. First to let you know the options and second to let you choose the option. As I repeat them, you will choose them by wiggling your ass in the air like a little bitch you are." He leaned in closer, his breath hot against Sean’s blindfolded face.
