Lucian We reached the Alpha house in the evening, a little late for dinner but well before nightfall. I ordered food sent to my rooms and pulled Zara along behind me. I could have ordered her to follow me, but she was in a mood so I figured it would be easier just to keep a hand on her arm. Why was she so damn defiant, anyway? Didn't she understand that we would take care of her if she would just stop fighting us? Every other wolf in the pack understood. The Alphas' job was to lead and protect. The pack's job was to follow and support. Everyone had a place, everyone fit. Everyone except for Zara. She refused to show her Alphas even a hint of the proper respect. Kieran's methods hadn't worked, in fact they made her act up more! Keeping her close to me hadn't had the desired effect,
