ELIAS Three years ago, everyone told me I had done the right thing. Funny how they still tell me that now. As Alpha of Ironclaw Pack, my life looks exactly the way it is supposed to look. The Pack has become stronger than it has ever been in years. The resources are growing every single day, trade agreements are stable, and patrol reports are good so far. Even the medical research division is thriving, and every council meeting ends with positive approval. And it all comes to one conclusion; Ironclaw is prospering. From the outside, I am exactly what an Alpha should be; capable, respected, and successful. I have the support of the Beta family. I have political stability. I have influence over every major decision affecting the Pack. I have a Luna whose position strengthens the alliance
