The meeting carries on for an hour plus and I feel my mind drifting off into space, that is...until something they say calls my attention.
"Due to what has been going on as of late, there has been a rise in civil discourse within the wolf packs under our control. Stemming from fear of our ability to protect them." A wolf said.
"Something has to be done to put out this flame before it ignites." Another wolf says, but I wonder, something like what?
"What do you propose I do exactly?" I tilt my gaze to Darius, who is leaned into his chair.
"A show of force." Someone says what it was I'd been fearing to hear.
"A show of force." Darius smiles, as though hearing a tone he has loved his whole life.
And this smile frightens me.
"I disagree with that." A wolf says, and I feel myself instantly cling to said wolf.
I turn to the voice and I find a relatively young wolf, with brown hair and green eyes hiding behind a pair of glasses.
