"Let her go and run wild," Stales insisted, his voice carrying the same urgency Angela felt. Her eyes burned with the pull of her mates calling out to her, and Stales could see how badly she wanted to answer that call. "If she doesn't go, they'll come here themselves. If I were you, I'd let her be."
"Don't be stupid," Alex snapped, glaring at him. "My Alpha gave me one task, and that was to watch her. Did you forget? She can't just roam around wherever she likes. Anyone could see her. Do you want to put her in danger?"
