She gives me a soft smile and sits back. “I won’t try to sway my daughter one way or the other, Alpha Ezra. That is for the two of you to decide together. But I will return with you and if Margot agrees to go to your pack, I will join you, if I’m invited as well.”

“I would love that, and it would give Margot someone that she trusts and knows in the pack. I think that might help her.

Now, Luna June does smile. “You’re right about one thing, Alpha. My daughter is stubborn. You have your work cut out for you.

“I’m an Alpha, Luna June, and I love nothing more than a challenge. But this isn’t a game to me. I’m here to win, to win my mate, win my life back, and win the future that I also used to dream about. I hope that one day, your daughter will give herself to me and I will be able to revel in the sweet taste of her willing submission.”

“We shall see, Alpha. We shall see.”

Hunter

Over breakfast the morning after laying Alpha Carter and Luna Amy to rest, I watch the Lunas embrace and circle Sophie with their love and friendship. They include Amelia in their circle, but you can see that it’s not the same. Sophie has built strong, lasting relationships with these women and Amelia has not.

“We need to talk about this pack, Hunter,” Calvin begins as we and the other Alphas keep watch over our mates.

“It’s not just this pack,” I sigh, turning my attention to the men. “We have

Owen’s pack now which is leaderless. I don’t know about you two, but can’t continue to house that number of people without significantly growing the size of my packhouse or adding houses on my pack lands,” I say to Robin and Kayce.

“Same, and while I’m willing to do that, most of the displaced pack members want to return to the pack that has been their home their entire life,” Robin says.

“And based on your conversation with your mate and what she’s been telling everyone here, I’m guessing we’ll have another leaderless pack once you take Alaric out as well,” Ezra says.

“What about Camden?” I ask, looking at Robin.

“He’ll be eliminated as soon as I hunt down the coward,” he growls.

“I’m pretty sure he’s running Alaric’s pack right now. I could be wrong, but I know Alaric isn’t in any shape to be running his pack,” Dutton says.

“And Koden is still out there, somewhere. He’s also going to be a problem,” I say.

“As is Aiden,” Dutton agrees.

“Owen’s pack is the easiest to take over, but none of us live right next to his pack. Who do we get to take that on?” Calvin asks.

I look at the others before sighing. “I think we have to open it up.”

“What do you mean?” Kayce asks.

“Give anyone who wants an opportunity to become the leader of that pack the option to fight for it. It’s how it used to be done. Alphas would fight for their position in the packs. All of us have strong Betas and most of you

become an Alpha,” I say.

“You’re suggesting that we give up our Betas?” Calvin asks, appalled.

“Give up‘ isn’t the term I would use, Calvin. Why wouldn’t you want to give your Beta a chance to rise up. Opportunities like this rarely come along and while I would hate to lose my Beta, I’d be thrilled to have another Alpha in our alliance, making it even stronger than it already is,” Robin says.

Calvin looks at me. “Do you really think that Sophie and Amelia are going to agree to this? Amelia is technically the heir to this pack as the oldest child of Alpha Carter and Luna Amy.

“Are YOU going to run this pack?” Ezra asks him. “Are you planning to leave your mate here to run this pack while you go back to yours? Of all of us, your pack is the farthest away. How would that even work?”

I’ll admit, I’m a bit disappointed in Calvin’s thought process. He’s thinking like the other Alphas, about gaining power, but not thinking through the ramifications. I’m much closer than he is, and I have no intention of trying to figure out how to manage my pack and this one.

Calvin scrubs his hands over his face. “I’m just saying, they should first right of refusal.”

I turn and look at my mate. ‘Soph, can you come here please? I have a question for you,‘ I say in the mind link.
