Finn’s eyes were red, and his wolf’s power still spilled out of him as he sat stock still in the chair at a large conference table. Food was spread over the table, but it didn’t look like he’d eaten any of it.
Blood was still dried on his skin, and his clothes barely fit him.
Two submissive wolves hovered uncertainly at the table, and as soon as we walked in, he dismissed them. They’d scurried out of the room like they’d been shot, and the doors slammed
shut behind us.
“I cannot be alpha,” Finn growled. “Not of this pack.”
I met his gaze head on and lifted an eyebrow. “It’s a little late for that. You killed the previous alpha and slaughtered anyone who challenged, which, from what I can tell, included her second, third, and at least ten of her top guards.”
“I didn’t realize that they were challenging me,” he said tightly. “Do I have to die to relinquish my
new position?”
London, Elonso, and I exchanged looks and pulled out chairs at the table. I sniffed at the food.” Doesn’t smell poisoned.”
“Everyone who seems to want me dead is already dead or severely injured,” Finn growled. “Just
eat.”
“Not until you do. You’re sitting alpha of this land. This is our way of respecting you.”
Rolling his eyes and muttering under his breath, Finn grabbed a chicken leg, ripped it off, and gnawed at it while he glared at us. After a few bites, he relaxed, and so did I. He would keep eating now until he was full, and that would help him reign in his wolf.
Elonso spoke first. “Have you toured the pack yet?”
“I had to. It appears Claudine left most of her pack to die this past year. They’re starving, and she forced her guards into taking the mutation toxin. Most of them are going to die. Saul is doing his best to get the vaccine to the ones who have the best chance at surviving. There’s a fucking mass grave of wolves who have died.”
His fury rose with each word, but he stayed seated and kept eating. London spoke next. “What of the warehouses? Is there any food or clothing stocked? Work supplies?”
“I’ve only seen one, and it was pretty fucking empty. This pack won’t survive the rest of the winter.”

Chapte 191 1
“Wolfspire has more than we need. We are willing to cut back this year and share. I will leave Willa
to act as your support on our behalf, and once we return home, I will send ten percent of our guard to help you fortify the pack and bring you supplies. As much as I would like to see that helicopter burnt to a shell, it will help you bring in emergency supplies.”
Finn’s jaw dropped. “Did you not hear what I said? I can’t fucking do this.”
London cleared his throat. “I will leave Damien, my third, and I can also donate ten percent of my
guard as well as any extra supplies that we might have.”
“I still have need of my second and third, but I will provide a strong wolf to help and five percent of my guard. We are overly stocked, so I’ll be able to provide quite a bit of clothes and supplies,”
Elonso offered.
“You’re all insane.”
“Finn,” I said evenly. “This pack is starving, and you’ve killed anyone who might be strong enough to lead it. There is literally no one else who can lead it, but you are not a desperate choice. Like it or not, you are Claudine’s son and once her heir. Your wolf is incredibly powerful and only growing stronger. You’ve been part of my pack long enough to see and learn how a functioning pack must work. Our thirds will help provide you with day-to-day logistics. Hopefully Claudine had a few wolves who know how her pack ran who didn’t lose their minds under her reign.”
