Forgive and live on

«You should forgive and live on,» Lara tried.

It was a matter of her cubs' life. She needed to try her best at surviving and bringing them out of there. Even if it meant convincing a mad wolf to let them go.

«Forgive and live on? To forget and let Nathaniel Woods kill me just like my father was killed by his?»

«Oh, no,» Lara exclaimed. «I'm sure Nate will accept a truce! He's not the type to insist on pointless feuds, isn't he?»

«How well do you know him, Miss?» he scoffed. «Can you promise in his stead that he won't take advantage of the peace to kill me with a surprise attack?»

«Nate doesn't do surprise attacks,» she said. «He's straight-forward. And he doesn't do revenge, I'm sure of it.»

He was patient with the members of his pack, and he could wait for the right moment to act.
