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. Based on what Brynn told Jara, this Gamma female wants out of their pack and is willing to leave her mate to protect her daughter. 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.

“Agreed.” Zaire says.

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

Here, they look at Melindal as if she’s a daughter, a niece, a little sister. In Alpha Shawn’s pack, there was a hint of lust, a look of desire as if Melinda would become their mate in the future. If she were sixteen or seventeen, I might have understood it more, but at two years
