Chapter 41

• Romeo's heart sank as his father's words cut through him like a knife, leaving him reeling with shock and disbelief. He had hoped that his father would understand, that he would see reason and put an end to his reckless plans. But now, as he stood before him, all hope seemed lost.
• "Father, please," Romeo pleaded, his voice filled with desperation. "You can't do this. You can't go through with the ambush. It will only lead to more bloodshed, more suffering. Think about what you're doing, about the consequences of your actions."
• But Alpha Marco's expression remained cold and unyielding, his eyes hard as flint as he regarded his son with disdain. "I will not be swayed by your pathetic pleas, Romeo," he spat, his voice dripping with contempt. "You are a disgrace to our pack, a weak and spineless fool who would throw away everything we stand for in the name of some foolish infatuation."
