Chapter 109

• Elroy POV
• When I was taking my position as Alpha, I spent months at a time on the march. Contrary to popular opinion, my ascent to Alpha wasn’t really a matter of taking my father’s place. For many reasons, some of which were not to be discussed, my family knew I was going to be Alpha practically from my birth.
• But there had been contenders outside the family, power brokers and power seekers whose bonds I needed to break and alliances within and outside of the Pack that I needed to disrupt. There was a time I slept better on the ground than in a bed, and I spent as much time in my fur as I did in my skin.
