Bond Rejected The Alpha’s Reckoning

Kael Nightfall crashed while retrieving my territory vehicle. Fractured tibia.

By the time I reached the pack's healing wing, a girl with swollen, tear-streaked eyes was shrieking at me:

"Who do you think you are, making the Beta-Commander fetch your vehicle? If you hadn't been too lazy to go yourself, he never would've gotten hurt!"

"Do you have any idea that the Beta-Commander fractured his leg? That he bruised his ribs?"

Her tone dripped with self-righteousness—like she was scolding a lower-ranked wolf who'd stepped out of line.
