Chapter Two Hundred and Fifteen
THANE.
“Alpha Trent, it is nice to meet you again.” | say with a smile that | hoped looked welcoming enough. Usually |
don't really bother with all the acts, but now... now | needed support. Most of the packs hated me. They believed
in this crap about the ‘new era’; it was only a matter of tbefore they chose to gang up against this pack-
something | plan on avoiding, and if this ‘act’ would help, then | would go on with it.
“I cas soon as you called. See, | know the attacks aren't from this pack.”
“One person who finally has scommon sense.”
He chuckled at that. | poured him a glass of wine, passing it to him.
“We are neighboring packs. If your soldiers had left for war, they would be spotted, and so | know those soldiers
aren't from this pack. But I believe many know that too.”
“They do?” | asked, as if | didn’t already know that.
“Yes, but clearly they see a way to unseat you from the throne, and so they are willing to do anything. Though
there are others who believe strongly that you are behind it all.”
“I know that, and that’s why | need your help.”
“That's a first.” Trent said with a smile.
“Don’t flaunt just yet. | want to make a deal. You need lands; | have them; all you need to do is convince as many
as you can that | am not behind the whole... ordeal. Not very hard, is it?”
“No. No it is not.”
“Good.”

“What if they don’t believe me, or in scases, choose not to believe me?’
“Then you've done your own part of the deal.” I said, noticing the slight worry in his eyes, he tried to mask it but
| saw right through him. “Seems too easy?” | question with a smirk.
“A little too easy.” He agreed.
“Well, | have too many enemies; | am simply trying to make more friends.”
“What else do you want for those lands?”
Well, he caught me. Trent was smart.
“I do hope it doesn’t cto that, but sooner than later, these packs could merge to fight against this pack. |
wouldn't let it cto that, but just in case.”

“You want my support.”

“I know you have connections, and many would listen to you.” “And if | refuse?” he questioned, and my gaze met
his.
“You won't.”
| couldn't stop thinking about Riley; every night I return to see her on our bed-the sight alone calms me. At that
