Killian The day has arrived, and my assembled team is looking sharp and ready. Kana arranged a color scheme for clothing, and while I thought it was silly at first I had to admit it made quite a difference as we filed into the large conference room. It was up to me to give the opening remarks as the leader of the Alpha Alliance for my region. I had prepared simple words, hoping not to come off as an egoist or opportunist. Honesty and integrity were the most important things. I had travelled with Elena’s note in my wallet, hoping she would bring me luck. She would have been so proud to see the opportunity for union, and I wished once again that she was still by my side. She would have won over the Lycan crowd in no time. The turn out is better than we expected. Delegates from at leas
