Bab 488: The Wolf - Part 1

RETH

Raking a hand through his hair, Reth sat back in his chair across from Behryn. Hollhye watched him with eagle eyes, but didn't say anything.

"He's submitted. Fully," Reth said quietly. "He came with a true heart. He wants peace, and he sacrificed his own Alpha power to get it. he cares more for the people than his own well-being. I cannot fault his intention."

Hollhye snorted. "Really? The male tried to kill you how many times?"

"Thankfully he did not succeed," Reth said with a warning look at her. "Also, apparently he was… blinded when that was happening. According to Suhle, as soon as he realized the darkness in his people, he started working towards getting them back to me. It takes a great deal of humility as an Alpha to trust your people to someone else at all, let alone, to submit your own power to achieve it. I… I find myself admiring him," Reth admitted reluctantly.
