Ryker took a step toward Jason. For a brief moment, the two Alphas simply regarded each other.

“Thank you for the warm welcome, Alpha Jason,” Ryker said, his voice calm and professional. “I’m looking forward to a fruitful joint training over the coming days. Hopefully, by the time we're finished, we'll have a better understanding of what's happening along your borders and what changes can be made to strengthen your defenses.”
