Alex's head throbbed as he plodded along behind Nia, trying to keep up, wishing he had some of April's anti-hangover potion. The way he felt right now, he’d even take that disgusting one that tasted like bin juice that had been left out in the sun.

Despite how crappy he felt, Alex was happy. Things were going incredibly well. He’d traded rings with Darius and then they'd slept in a small cave on the edge of his territory. Although Darius was somewhat hospitable, providing them roasted boar, Nia warned Alex against drinking any alcohol or letting his guard down. Although there was an alliance, they couldn't assume that they were safe. It wasn't like her father's pack. So, early the next morning, they left the new allies, Nia trading phone numbers with them upon learning they had a satellite phone, and went on their way.

They'd talked about the ten missing werewolves taken to fuel the blood golem. Between Julius’s promises and the clear rage the werewolves felt at having ten of their pack go missing, Alex knew that Darius and his fighters would come when he needed them.

Darius had even agreed to an ongoing alliance provided Alex could supply more rings in the future. Alex had agreed but with the proviso that they would discuss it after they got Juno back. He didn't want to make deals for future rings, considering he had no idea how many he might have to deliver in the future. So, it was the next morning they went out, and two days later came to Simak’s pack. Simak was a friend of Nia's father, and that visit had been much like the visit to Julius’s pack, with heaps of roasted boar and brewed alcohol. The werewolves had made beer, immense amounts of it, but then mixed it with another stronger alcohol to give it an extra kick.

Simak’s pack had lost seven werewolves, taken all in one night to feed the blood golem, and in between carousing, drinking, and eating Alex talked with various members of the pack. Some were furious and cold, others were resigned, recounting the various times mages and vampires had attacked them. It wasn’t the first time they'd lost werewolves either. One woman he met had lost all three of her sons over the years and now had no more children. Despite all the drinking and the party atmosphere, there had been a mournful undertone to it. Alex felt it was like the way he, April, and Nia threw themselves into passionate sex. The desire to let go, to celebrate life in the face of fear.

It was a second alliance secured by the magic rings Alex delivered and Simak’s promise to come when called. The alliance had been celebrated with immense amounts of alcohol which led them to now, Alex plodding along with an aching head.

River and Matilda weren't much better, having drunk deeply, and even Jacob was looking a little seedy. Although Alex had told the kid to take it easy, he'd obviously lost track of him at some point of the night.
