Chapter 79: What to do About Moonshine
“All-out-war,” Thomas muttered. “That does have a ominous sound to it.” “Then again, force is all Alpha Damon has ever responded to” Santino said. Logan sighed, looking between the father and son. It made him nostalgic for the days he and his own father worked alongside each other. He wondered if Holly were to have a boy, would he have similar moments with his own son?
“My pack is strong,” Logan assured. “Moonshine has depleted their resources. That already gives us an advantage. With Starseeker on our side, it would only increase our odds.” “But at what cost?” Thomas asked, eyes falling to the floor. Logan crossed his legs. “This is another reason I have been hesitant in seeking your involvement,” he admitted. “Damon and his pack are weakening, but that doesn’t mean they are weak or can’t do plenty of damage.” “I understand your concerns,” Thomas said. “We aren’t going to leave you to handle this yourself, though,” Santino promised. “Alpha Damon crossed a line. He nearly killed you, and it isn’t just petty power grabs anymore, he is endangering the lives of females and pups by raiding your resources.” Logan chuckled, appreciating Santino’s enthusiasm. They were about the same age, so he could relate to Santino on an emotional level. The eagerness to take a stand, the desire to show what he was capable of. One thing Logan had that Santino didn’t was experience. He felt the weight of his experiences rest on his shoulders like added years that Santino didn’t have. “My pack is perfectly well cared for and fed,” Logan assured. “Though, if Moonshine continues, they may not always be.” “Well, not to sound selfish or anything, but my sister and niece and nephew are also at risk with Moonshine coming after your pack,” Santino pointed out. “Yes, Serena’s involvement does give us a personal interest in the matter,” Thomas echoed the sentiment. “I would never let anything happen to her, to any of them,” Logan promised, sitting up straight and nodding for emphasis. “That is a bold statement to make,” Santino pointed out, raising an eyebrow at Logan. Pursing his lips, Logan crossed his arms over his chest. “Isn’t that what one is supposed to say when someone expresses concern over a loved one?” he asked. Santino smirked at him. “That’s enough,” Thomas said, ending the argument before it started.
“Sorry, Dad” Santino said. Logan didn’t like the way Serena’s brother kept looking at him. It reminded him of how his own mother kept giving him glances and making pointed comments. Santino obviously suspected something that Logan wasn’t aware of. He wondered how much Serena had told her family about him and his recent behavior towards her. It made him uncomfortably suddenly, sitting in the home of a female he’d lost his temper on, made horrible accusations to, and acted like a controlling, possessive jerk!

staff and updated facilities, we have the ability to treat and care for any wounded, including any overflow from Starseeker,” he offered. Thomas nodded. “Good,” he said. “We aren’t lacking resources, but if we are going to take on Moonshine directly, it would be easier to set up an encampment within Night Sky territory. Yours does border theirs.” “Yes,” Logan said with a nod. “Probably why we have seen most of the aggression.” “I do

“Anyone who is below Damon or those he trusts most…they won’t have the authority to gather the troops. They will be too lost and confused to rally enough force to gyercome
