“No, it wasn’t on the agenda and today, we do have some important things to discuss. First, without realizing it, both Mason and I absorbed members of Alpha Shawn and Alpha Gunnar’s packs. Not only that, we got their mates and both of them had she- wolf pups.”

Asher whistles. “If they didn’t hate us before, they sure do now.”

“It’s worse. Luke, Jara’s guard at the claiming, indicated that things in Alpha Shawn’s pack are not healthy. And while his mate, Brynn is adjusting here in my pack, there is another she-wolf who has a daughter, one that will be going into the claiming next year, a Gamma.

I’ll tell you, Brynn is very skittish around my pack members, especially with her daughter, and Melinda is only two.”

“Two? And she’s worried about your unmated males around her?” Antonio asks in disbelief.

“It’s the same for Hana’s guard and his mate. They arrived last week, and while their daughter is a bit older, she’s still a pre-teen. She, Alexis, is terrified to leave her daughter with any of my pack members except my mother.” Seth says.

“Yes.”

“How many others are still there?” Quinton asks.

Alpha Gunnar has no she-wolves in his pack.” Seth says.

“Agreed.” Zaire says.

“So, we need to decide if we are going to help this she-wolf or not.”

I say.
