“I should go.” Alexander said, standing abruptly. “Apologies, Alphas, but duty calls.”
The Alphas looked around at each other. “I’ll give them a tour of the pack grounds while you’re gone,” I said quickly, not wanting them to sit around while we waited for Alexander to return.
The Board murmured in agreement. Liam especially looked pleased, and said, clapping his hands together, “That sounds wonderful! We were hoping to have a chance to see the pack grounds today.”

A few minutes later, we all stood in the center of the pack barracks.
It was a small but impressive fortress at the very end of the cast wing of the mansion. All of Ashclaw’s guards and warriors trained and lived here. The air smelled like leather and sweat, and as the Board looked around at the various racks of weapons and armor, I followed Alexander to the corner, where he was preparing to leave.
