Chapter 210 Midnight is front and center now . I'm at a loss for words after that . This is definitely something I should discuss with Knight . Right ? Is this betrayal ? Is that why he said it would end badly ? Did he mean it would end badly for her ? I sit back and overthink what he said , what she said . Because what she said is insane , and it seems like there is no room to argue , " Pernicious sent over a list of those who were involved . They will all be at the meeting . If you are serious about keeping the position , you will have to address everyone yourself . The same way you did the last time . You have to be assertive . You have to take it . This is the only way they will ever understand who you're supposed to be , " she breaks the silence , " That's not what I wanted . " " What you want doesn't matter anymore . You serve them now . Everything else will come in second . They are what Ayrie and Aizen are to you . You are the Alpha , the mother of everyone who looks to you for protection and guidance . Those who disobey are put in a time - out or sent away . " The choice is now yours to make . Even if you have an elder system in place , they are here to remind you of our traditions , but nothing else . It's beneficial for you to have this because you're not familiar with the traditions . You need to learn them and pass them on to Aizen so he doesn't need an elder system . " You have to remember that what you are doing now will affect how he will run the pack later on . You must always lead by example . You can't cry in front of them , but you can rage . You have to remind them of what you are . Every opportunity you get , take it . " My father has been teaching you from his experiences . So has my brother . My mother is not an alpha . You are not a Luna . It's different for Alpha Females . They view maternal instincts as a weakness that can be exploited , and so far , they have . " Show them what that same maternal instinct can push you to do , why she - wolves can be ten times more dangerous than a male when provoked . You have my wolves at your disposal . You give the signal and they will do as you please . I won't let anyone harm you . " I take a couple of deep breaths and nod . " What's the signal ? " I ask . " One to move forward . Two to aim . Three to fire . Circle to round them up . " She lifts her hand , holding up two fingers , and waves them forward , demonstrating each movement . " Show me , " she orders . I mimic her movements . " Like you mean it , Phoebe . " She does it again . " Do it . " I do it again . " Good . Remember what each of them means . A mistake can cost you ." " Okay , " I nod . We arrive at the pack . Before I can reach for the handle to get out once she stops , she reaches over and pats my abdomen to make sure my vest is in place and protecting me appropriately . hest and I take a deep breath . Her scent settles the nerves I feel . It absolutely feels like it's Knight adjusting my vest . It doesn't always feel this way around her , but it does at the moment . When she backs away , she sighs . " Are you sure you don't just want to be Nate's mate ? You'd still be the owner of Royal Threads , " she says . " It would give us peace of mind . " TR 22:42 Sat , 2 Aug Chapter 210 " You're an alpha and the CEO of Knightly Enterprises , " I remind her . " I've been training my entire life for it . I would die for this . It's in my blood just as it is in my father's and brothers . I don't know anything else but this . " " If you could choose , would you give it up ? " " Yes , " she answers without hesitation . " I would have wanted to be a daughter , a sister , and a proper mate . This life takes the part of us that makes us truly beautiful . I wouldn't want that for you . " She sits back and reaches for the door . I place my hand on her arm . She looks down at it and then up at me . -Choose her.- Midnight's voice echoes in my head . -For me . For us . It's all she needs.- " I can make you a deal . I hear you like a good proposition . We have that in common ." " I don't want nor do I need your money , " " That's not what I'm offering , " I shake my head . " I'd be willing to give this up . We can train Aizen and send him to that school in England when he's ready . This pack will become a part of yours , and you could change things to your liking . " " In exchange ? " she asks , interested . " I'll teach you how to be a proper mate . My mate . You can have that . It's a simple yes or no answer . I'll stand down and let you and Knight protect me the way you want to as the owner of Royal Threads without resistance . " She turns all the way to face me . Her eyes search mine as if I were trying to deceive her . Without a single word , she gets out of the car . She comes around and rips my door open . Her eyes are glowing red . " Ansley ! " I hear Knight shout . Her hand grips me around the mouth , and she pulls me close to her . " Let her go , Ans ! " " You said without resistance . You break that promise , and this is over , " she shoves me back . She spins around just as Knight gets to us . Midnight takes over , and without thinking , I jump out of the car . I take her hand and spin her around to face me . " This is never going to be over , " I growl . With a single hard tug , her body smacks against mine , and my teeth sink into her neck . I shove her and she stumbles back , her eyes wide . Blood is dripping down her neck as she tries to stabilize her footing . " You marked me , " she chokes out and then looks up at Knight . " Don't look at him . He has nothing to do with this . Without resistance . You have to make that same prom demand . y it , " I " You marked me ! " she shouts . " Say it ! " Midnight roars . She steps back , her eyes fading from red to green . " Without resistance , Alpha Knightly . Say it ! " " Without resistance , " she says tightly . 22:43 Sat , 2 Aug Chapter 210 Midnight releases me , satisfied with her answer. I shake my head , feeling a little lightheaded . She comes towards me to take my elbow . " That was scary , " I laugh , placing my hand on my chest to calm myself . " You made a promise . I expect you to keep it , or she's going to be the one that shows you why you shouldn't break it . " " Watch her . She's stepping down . The pack is mine , " she informs Knight . " And so is she , " she flips him off and turns around to face the wolves that came with her . " Carmen , you and your team are staying behind to protect your Luna . Not a single scratch on her . " " Alpha , " a woman bows to her . She smiles when she looks over at me and takes a knee . " Luna Knightly , my name is Carmen Yellowstone . Delta two eleven . Alpha Knightly would like for you to come with us to the packhouse . You and the Rogue King can wait for her there . " " That had to be one hell of a drive , " Perry laughs . " Please , don't spare any of the details . That bitch hates everything and everyone . "
