The next morning, Joséf stood before the pack. He scanned the fifteen mostly uninjured men for signs of fear, and smelled it in full force.

Kissa stuck close to his side but every time he glanced at her, he saw sadness buried in the hopeful glint of her eyes. He knew what that sadness meant.

He’d killed her brother.

He had no choice. She understood that. She told him so, forgave him.

But that didn’t mean either of them had to like it. Kissa, standing by his side despite everything, only strengthened his resolve to make things right.

“Here’s what I know. We don’t know what, exactly, is headed our way. The Syndicate is ruthless, and they don’t play nice. Especially with wolves.” He took in their startled glances.

“I can tell you that they dealt an economic blow in America. It took time, and it didn’t jolt the stock market for more than a few days, but it happened. And when they do it here, the blow will fall harder, crushing the Hungarian economy and culture. The wolves will suffer just as much, if not more, than the humans.”

“What can we do?” Mikhail stirred restlessly. “There must be something we can do.”

Joséf spread his hands. “My concern at the moment rests in protecting this pathetic excuse for a pack. We need to get organized, which means we need a hierarchy. Istvan, Dave. Come here.” The two stepped forward and stood beside Joséf.

"Kissa," he extended his hand to her. She took it, smiled and sidled up beside him. He hesitated, then nodded. “Mikhail, you too.” He eyed the others as, surprised, Mikhail joined them. "This is my ruling council. If I'm to be Alpha of this pack, you shall respect the authority of a ruling council."

"What if we don't?” Someone in the back had to be a smartass.

Joséf narrowed his eyes. "Then you can leave."

Shock rippled through the crowd. "What about my mate?” The smartass stepped forward.

"If you don't care enough to listen to someone who has experience dealing with this criminal organization, then you don't deserve to be mated.” Hard truth.

The man stepped back in line with the others.

“Look. It’s true, I don’t care too much if you live or die. But neither do you all deserve to have the Syndicate ruin your lives any more than they already are. You’ve needed an Alpha, not a goddamned Ancient vampire running things here.”

They shifted. Murmured to themselves.

Joséf stood tall and called up the power that ran through him. Time to test what he’d learned the night before. He searched for the broadband of the pack, and found it.

I’m not letting the fucking Syndicate get more of a foothold than they already have.

He circled the clearing with his power, felt Kissa’s approval, caught Istvan and Dave’s looks of surprise before calling the power back. “So you all are going to have to step up. I’m not going to lie to you and say this will be easy, because it won’t. They don’t know who you are, nor do they care.
