Rowan POV
The pack meeting ran for a long time.
I stood at the front of the main hall and listened to senior warriors give their reports and watched Alpha Magnus nod at the right moments and say the cautious measured things that Alpha Magnus said when he wanted to appear decisive without committing to anything
Two wolves were missing.
Border breach two miles inside the eastern edge.
Howls reported by three separate patrol groups within the last four nights.
And one wolf who came back without his partner and couldn't describe what he had seen clearly enough for anyone to build a response around.
I listened to all of it and made the decisions that needed making.
I Tripled the eastern patrol,pulled the outer rotation closer to the walls.
Sent a fast rider to the nearest allied pack
