“Alpha Jason?”
Jason slowly lowered his head.
“No, Elder.”
Willow stared at him. Jason swallowed.
“I have no objection.”

“Then the judgment stands.”
A strange silence settled over Silver Fang. No one celebrated. No one spoke.

Julia looked across the faces she had known for years.
Then Ryker’s hand found hers. She turned toward him.
“Can we go home now?”
Ryker’s entire expression softened.
“That,” he said, bringing her hand to his lips, “is the best thing I have heard all day.”
Inside him, Orin immediately agreed.
“Take mate home.”
