Clementine:
"Why do only you guys get to make decisions for your lovers? Out of all the people Haiden should know, he should be the last one to complain. You were the one ready to risk your own life and stay behind in the North for someone you only met here," Ian snapped at Haiden, even though it was Yorick who was confronting him at the moment.
"You should understand my situation," Ian said.
I was kind of shocked and unable to even react because Ian was not the type who could love anyone but himself, so it came out of the blue. And the fact that we hadn’t even communicated to the point that we knew whether any of us had found our mates showed how poorly we were connecting, not like we should have.
"Then can you go next time?" Haiden asked, the urgency in his voice beginning to show. He unwrapped his arm from around my waist so he could get up and reach Ian’s bed. Ian also steadily got up, probably thinking Haiden was going to confront him or maybe force him into going with us.
"No," Ian replied, shaking his head.
"But you do know you won’t be able to go to your pack either if we don’t all agree, right? Like they said, the decision has to be unanimous. If we all want to go to the same pack, we go together. If we want to go separately, then we each go our own way. But no one can go to any pack unless everyone agrees. So if even one person wants to go with someone else, no one can go to their pack until we all make the same choice. We either go together, or we all go separately."
Troy wasn’t really good at explaining things. I could tell he was going in circles. But in the end, he managed to explain himself and the basic rules to us. Ian started to grunt. He took a few steps back, then a few to the side. His body language showed he was anxious and probably now thinking about how he would convince us to listen to him, especially after expressing his long-term issues with our situation.
"Okay, wait, guys. We’ll be able to go and stay in our packs for a full week, right?" Troy asked, and I gave him a nod. This was what they had later discussed with me.
"So how about we convince them to let us stay at one pack for three days, and then go to the other for four days?" Troy asked, and I began to give it some thought. However, I wished we had thought of it earlier, because now the deal had already been made, and I could tell the ringleaders weren’t very happy that we managed to get such a deal. I mean, they probably just wanted to punish us for even bringing up the idea of quitting.
"Wait a minute—you mean to say you guys are coming to stay in my pack?" Ian asked. As we began to nod, he started shaking his head.
"No," he said, stepping back.
"Wait, what’s the problem with us staying at your pack?" Troy asked. Even Yorick was now facing Ian with his hands on his waist. None of the alphas looked very happy with how Ian was treating them, and I understood why. He was making things so difficult for all of us.
"Why not?" Yorick also joined in.
