Alpha Terrell's POV
"A friend?" Kade wheezed. "You? Alpha Terrell, the Butcher of monsters and humans, wants to be someone's friend?"
"I fail to see the humor."
"That's because you don't know what friendship means!" Kade clutched his sides, still laughing. "Alpha, you've killed men for the tiniest reasons. You burned an entire castle down an hour ago. You don't have friends. You have subordinates and enemies. Those are your only two categories for people!"
Gareth wiped tears from his eyes. "He's not wrong. I've known you for many years, and I still wouldn't call us friends."
"We're brothers in arms," Bellick added. "Comrades. Fellow warriors. But friends?" He shook his head. "You'd need a personality for that."
My jaw clenched. "Are you all quite finished?"
"Not even close," Kade grinned. "This is the best thing that's happened since I joined your army. Wait until the others hear…"
"No one is hearing anything." My voice dropped to a lethal pitch. "That's an order."
