When Harold’s son walks in, he looks at us cautiously.

I step up to Yara, putting my arm around her waist. “No, I’m not I’m tired of fighting and losing my pack members because of others‘ greed. I’ve returned some of your pack members that were taken by Alpha Thomas,” I say.

“Why would you do that? Aren’t you supposed to be the strongest Alpha in this part of the country?” he asks, his tone still sharp.

“HENRY!” Harold barks.

“It’s okay, Alpha Harold. In five years, Henry will become Alpha, I think it’s important for the Alpha heir to know why I want an alliance with his father so that when the time comes, we can create an alliance between us,” I continue. “And, if anything were to happen to your father, it would be important for you, Henry, to know that you can turn to me.

“What are you doing to him?” Henry asks, turning to Yara.
