*Belasarius*
Judging by the look on Addicus’ face, what I was proposing was going to be easier said than done. “I…I will get you a meeting with the man,” he said. “However, after that, you’ll be on your own. He is unlikely to just trust you off the bat, so I hope you haven’t forgotten your people skills while roughing it on the road.”
Well, I couldn’t say I didn’t see that one coming. Me being the mate of an alpha that A) isn’t of the clan, and B) doesn’t even have a clan to begin with, would - from what I’d read and learned of pack culture up until that point - be cause for this alpha to bristle. But what could you do? I NEEDED to speak with him and the alphas of the other packs. This was non negotiable. “Take me to him,” I said.
