There was silence for a minute before he sighed. “The only reason I had seemed powerless in the past is mainly because of my grandfather and a few elders. The goal is to retire them all, bring in a new set of people…”

So, we don’t have to worry about manpower or packs being vulnerable when they send out their entire warriors.”

“That’s a good idea!” I nodded with approval.

“The way you make it sound…” he queried with a frown.

“Isn’t this what you wanted? My body…”
