How embarrassing. Two embarrassing moments one after the other. Inside, before Jack appeared, I was in an internal conflict, my wolf was in a huge bipolarity.

“It’s a promise.” The heat pulsed again—contained, coiled, waiting. And both of them knew: The real conflict hadn’t been the intruders. It was what came next—when the world tried to pull them apart, and Kane would have to decide how much of himself he was willing to give to keep Sebastian standing.

And whatever stood between them… It wasn’t small. It couldn’t be. Conflicts like that didn’t come from nothing. They grew. Slowly. Silently. Until they reached a point where even silence couldn’t contain them anymore. I adjusted the file in my hand again, this time more deliberately. This was not my concern. That was the truth. Whatever tension existed between them was internal. Personal. Pack matters were different. Clear. Structured. This… wasn’t that. And yet, it would become that.

It never shows on the person's outer appearance, because everything takes place within; it is an inner struggle with self-doubts, a moral dilemma, and it is becoming your own antagonist when you realize your matchmaking decision will do more harm than good, and it is a struggle with yourself as you try to hide your feelings for another.

Kane’s voice dropped. “Is it going to force integration?” I didn’t answer immediately. Because the system hadn’t yet. But I could feel the calculation forming.

"Yesterday, I stayed with him... and I woke up to his face. It was the worst thing I could have imagined, seeing him there, after the dream I had. He was the monster in my nightmare, but when I woke up, he was still there, in bed bed with me, holding me and comforting me." Dr. Laura leaned back, letting my words settle in the room. "Monique," she said softly, "as long as you let this internal conflict fester, those nightmares will keep coming. Your mind is at war—your body reacting to two very different emotions.

After all, the Battle Warrior Department and Internal Affairs had not always been on good terms. The two departments had very different opinions. Internal Affairs advocated for peace while the Battle Warrior Department advocated for war. In other words, Internal Affairs was scared of engaging in war and would advocate for negotiation in every matter. However, it would be very difficult to resolve the current situation with a negotiation. Hence, Wyvern Peak’s soldiers advocated for war.
