The human way

«Alpha Nate, there's a wolf from Mayford in our territory!» the chief of the technical team shouted when he saw Nate walk into the room they worked in.

Nate sighed.

«Let me guess,» he said.

The technicians closed their mouths and stared at him, patiently waiting for his attempts.

Lara chuckled behind him. Nate had dragged her along when secretary Jack told them about the emergency.

«Who is it?» she asked.

«Renato Cannella, Mayford's chief of security,» Nate said.

«Oh? Luciano Polenta's right-hand man, right?»

«He was,» Nate said. «Now, he's just Samantha's mate. They came here to collect her things. She's taking charge of the pack. I'm not sure how conscious of it they are, but she's becoming their Alpha. If she isn't yet.»

«Oh, what a twist! So, they're not our enemies anymore. We're kind of allies.»

«More or less,» Nate sighed.
