Luna

"You want me to be your Second-in-Command?" I ask, gaping at Axel. "What about Ama?"

We're still sitting in the pond off of Golden Glades Street, surrounded by marsh plants and a few palm trees. Paper cups and food wrappers float along the edges, having blown in from town, but I don't have to scavenge for plastic cups or water jugs anymore, so I don't pay the trash any mind. While Axel speaks, I let my hands swirl lazily in the pea-green water.

"Ama and I are two very dominant wolves," Axel says. "It wouldn't hurt to have a more submissive wolf to tame the tempers of the rest of us."

I smile at Axel. I'm flattered to be offered a job in the pack and even more happy that he's getting rid of Ama. I don't like her one bit.

"What would I have to do?"

"You'll be my right-hand wolf," he says. "You'll help me make decisions on what's best for the pack, and you can even govern in my absence for a short time."
