Aurelia's piercing gaze hardened as Rhazien spoke, each word landing like a dull thud in her mind. She was immune to the power struggles of the pack and had no desire to prove herself to Sephiran or anyone else.

To break free of it would be to acknowledge it in the first place." She took a step back, distancing herself from him and his machinations. The dagger in her paw felt heavy, a reminder of the his initial statement. You might be needing this. Did he really expect her to fight for anyone other than herself?
