While Seven’s response to my decision had been subtle, Raiden’s was the exact opposite. He’d whooped for joy and gathered me in a hug that threatened to crack ribs. He’d kissed me hard and I’d kissed him back. Finlo had grinned and bundled me up into a hug of his own, and Ellar had kissed me with a heartbreaking tenderness. Gatlin had smiled and looked pleased, and I had a feeling that was something significant. He was a man of action though.

“We should get ahead of Wilkie. He’ll be getting his shit all figured out so he can present himself as the best possible candidate for the last female Omega, but if we walk into the Legion as a fait accompli, then it’ll be harder for them to find a reason to protest,” he said, as we sat around the dining table that night.

I nodded, watching Finlo take a sleeping Luisa off to her crib. At this rate, I was going to lose my Mom-biceps. The ones you get from deadlifting thirty pounds twelve hours a day. It was nice though, almost too nice. I felt guilty, though I didn’t know if I was guilty that they had to do my job for me, or guilty that Luisa wasn’t getting the same one on one time with me she used to get.

Gatlin cleared his throat pointedly, and Finlo stuck out his tongue.

“Always the killjoy, that one. Okay, so the Manix are governed by the Legion. They were the Manix army in the old days, and were separate to the Alpha ruling family. When the ruling family was killed during an attack a couple of centuries ago, the Legion took control. They make the decisions, dole out the punishments and generally see to the day-to-day running and defense of Maxton. They are run by an Alpha General, who is our Alpha now, I guess.” He slid a look to Gatlin, whose face looked stony. Ah, there was history there, but now was not the time to mine that secret. “There’s only a couple of thousand of us left, so it isn’t a taxing job. But we keep a specialist elite force of warriors on hand, the Legion Force, and everyone gets combat training from childhood. Generally, we are just like a normal Pack of supernaturals. We follow the same social hierarchy as, say, wolves.”
