Chapter 87 - La nature de lennemi (2) (1/2)
Seeing Arthur and Louise devour her former comrades, Giulia didn't react as she expected, which was one more proof if she needed another one that she wasn't human anymore.
This situation filled her with anger and sadness, but it wasn't really out of sympathy; she didn't think it was unfair that these soldiers were being eaten, she just thought it was extremely regrettable and foolish that they didn't agree to be transformed when they were given the opportunity even though they knew perfectly well that dying then becoming nothing less than meat was their only perspective of future by making that choice...
However, the longer Giulia's gaze was lingering on those dead soldiers the harsher it became and the more her sadness turned into hatred, 'You bunch of morons, you had a damn chance of surviving!' She thought, judging with contempt a decision she would have definitely respected several hours ago when she still wasn't aware of the true power of the Ganipotes and Garaches and that she hadn't yet made her mind up to join them.
Deep down, Giulia knew that her hatred was disproportionate and that it had nothing to do with a clear reasonning, but admitting it to herself would amount to admitting that she needed to hate the soldiers who hadn't made the same choice as her in order to comfort herself in her belief that she had made the right one, and also admit that she needed this hatred in order to accept the fact that the scene she was witnessing was building up her appetite.
Her pack leader having warned her that in their culture watching someone eat was extremely disrespectful and that it could be for Louise and Arthur a valid pretext among countless others to kill her, Giulia turned her gaze away from them to land it on William...

According to what she was told, he was the weakest Alpha, not only regarding his own strength but also that of his pack, which numbered bȧrėly 200 members and had the lowest proportion of betas.
Beyond the facts, William's inferiority over the other Alphas was also noticeable physically; unlike Louise and Arthur who had a developed musculature and from which was emanating the aura of experienced fighters, it wasn't at all the case with William who had a rather thin body and didn't look intimidating at all.
'Yeah, not intimidating at all.' Giulia told herself, trying to contain a grin when her gaze wandered over a specific area of William's nȧkėd body which had the shape and the ridiculously small size of a ċȯċktail sausage...
But the disrespect she was showing to William disappeared as quickly as it came because she knew that despite the fact that he was weak compared to the other Alphas, he wasn't the type to let himself be stepped on.
According what she was told about him, what he was lacking in strength he more than made up for it with things that Arthur et Louise sorely lacked; intelligence and unpredictability...
It was to the point that Juliet, Giulia's pack leader, considered William as the most dangerous Alpha behind herself.
Thinking of Juliet naturally guided Giulia's eyes to her and when she saw her, Giulia's heart started to beat frantically...
She didn't know if the admiration she felt for her was genuine or just feelings that a pack member would inevitably had for his pack leader, but if what the other members of her pack said about Juliet was half true then she was definitely the most well-rounded Alpha of all.
