Should I at least leave a wound on their faces? Nah! I can't! I don't want the Philippine monsters department and the American to have a misunderstanding. But... what if they did something against the rules? "What are the rules?" I have a deep and serious question. Alistair gave me a smile. "Whoever triggered their Redo first, lost. No weapons allowed to avoid getting injured. The raid will be in just a few more days, so I want everyone unscathed." The American answered.

"Two people per team. To choose your partner, you’ll draw matching moon phase cards from the deck." She held up a small card, its surface etched with the crescent moon.

The word *reasonable* hung in the air like an unspoken joke, its meaning twisted by those in power.

Big, fast, technically excellent. Rafe showed nothing. "What are the combat rules?" "Old charter. Submission or incapacitation. No weapons. Witnessed by pack representatives and recorded."

It quickly became a challenge though, and soon they were sprinting, this time Jamie beating him there, and she cheered, giving a teasing grin while Logan playfully rolled his eyes. "So, what are the rules, or are you making this a challenge?" He smirked at her, and Jamie felt her face heat up, but she stubbornly ignored it. "You guys are never going to let me live that down."
