Ella was in her office when she got the message from Lara. The phone buzzed at the end of her desk and she cancelled her video call with her science techs. “Mattie has been summoned by the board. I always stay one step ahead of them but why they have asked for her I don’t know.” After sending the text she frowned as if someone had moved a chess piece in a completely different direction.

Leo looked a bit sheepish when Lara mentioned about the board. “We haven’t nominated anyone. We’re working a lot better without an alpha. Some have said having an alpha who isn’t a dick would be a good option so long as we still value all opinions of the pack.”

LaF who was sitting next to Lara, opposite Perry and Leo, interjected. “If you’re going to visit the wolves later can I come with? I’m human, not exactly a threat? Besides they can help me with research.”
