Jara and I stand, turning to make arrangements to meet up with the others this week and discuss going to Alpha Davis’s pack.

Alpha Luke comes over and looks at Antonio. “You have some paperwork for me, Alpha?” He asks.

“I sure do.” He says and the two of them step aside to discuss the terms of the alliance.

Alpha Zaire comes over to us. “I’d be interested in an alliance myself. I know our pack is more secluded than most, but I’ve enjoyed meeting your mates and I know my mate will feel the same. An alliance can only make the work that we are trying to do better.” He says.

“You don’t have to convince me, Alpha Zaire. We were hoping you would be interested. It seems that there is a clear line in the way some of us think and the way others in our group think. The more support we have to help our Lunas and she-wolves, the better.”

When we had talked about our alliance, we had agreed that other Alphas interested in joining would be considered, but Alpha Luke and Alpha Zaire were two that we all had hoped would be interested.

Alpha Saul and Alpha Jonas are two wild cards and while we would be interested in speaking to them about an alliance, we weren’t sure we would want one.

All of us agreed that there would be no alliance with Alphas Gunnar, Conrad, Emanual, or Shawn.

Alpha Saul approaches Seth, looking at Alpha Luke and Alpha Zaire talking with Antonio. “I would be interested in reviewing an alliance document, but I am not willing to sign one today.” Alpha Saul says to Seth.
