41 A bunch of stray dogs

Author's note: This is from Fynn's point of view

Unfortunately, Mateo rubbed me the wrong way from the moment my Alpha announced that Isabella was pregnant.

I mean, she was weak and attacks on our pack increased because enemies used her as leverage against my Alpha. We can't be strong with a weak Luna. History taught us that no pack survived without strong leadership and the Bluemoon pack was not an exception.

Isabella was too kind and too fragile for our world, but my Alpha was determined to keep her by his side and to protect her, and the only option I had was to rebel or to obey. Of course, I would never turn my back on a leader like Damiano Testa, but every time I saw Mateo, my resentment grew.

Mateo was weak, powerless, and ignorant. Another liability.

In a world where strength is respected, Mateo was bound to face a bad ending and pull many of his protectors with him.
