become more than part of the pack, pride, or sloth, they become part of what is called an Inner
Court, Leona explained as she walked in with Ashby and Nicholas.
 Ma doesn t have one, Aleks said, frowning. Leona laughed and smiled at him.
 My dear boy, your mother is a force unto herself. Can you imagine her being comfortable
sharing her emotions? Leona asked, grinning. Both Aleks and Connor shook their heads fervently.
 Having an Inner Court doesn t denote strength or weakness. Sometimes we have gone hundreds
of years without one. Each Inner Court is also different. In one case I read the Alpha Mother turned
out to be a gentle-born lady used to court life. When she started meeting the townspeople, the artists,
sculptors, and musicians were drawn to her. Her Inner Court provided what she would have lacked.
Without music and art she would have been miserable and a terrible Alpha Mother. As a result
Arkadia experienced a micro renaissance era. It was a very beautiful time in our history. In another
documented case, the Prides and Packs were at war, which ended up drawing Arkadia into the
fighting. When that Alpha Mother started meeting the townspeople, the Warriors of the town were
drawn to her. Her Inner Court became her body guards. They saved her life on seven occasions, once
each time she was pregnant with the next generation.
 It all depends on the Alpha Mother or the situations they find themselves in when they take
over. Even if the person pledges themselves to the Alpha, unless the need is there a bond doesn t
form. It s a very good start to your time as Alpha Mother for you to have two already pledged and
accepted. Leona sat at the table next to Kate and Bran. Everyone was staring at Rebecca, who had
started her chocolate pie. She looked up.
 What? she asked.  If you think I m some kind of super Alpha Mother thing, you re wrong.
Ashby and Nicholas are just really great friends and we re tuned into one another, Rebecca said
stubbornly.
 A ruling pair is an Alpha Mother and her Alpha, who acts as the enforcer. Everyone looked at
Aleks.
 Ashby and Nicholas will guide you on the pulse of the town. They are in positions to speak to a
lot of the townspeople. Everyone swung to stare at Ashby and Nicholas, who were blushing.
 You also have Liam and Kate, who have subconsciously taken on the roles of protectors, she
said. Everyone stared at Liam and Kate. They shot looks to each other. Leona smiled slyly as if she
had a secret before continuing.
 You already have a well-balanced support group, even if you don t form any other bonds, she
said, sipping her coffee. Everyone looked around.
 Leona, where did you find all this information? Rebecca asked when she couldn t bear the
silence anymore.
 It s in the town archives, Leona said. Rebecca s eyes lit up. She loved diving into history.
 This could explain why the hyenas have been trying to get to her. They hate us. She represents
our future and they know that, Connor said quietly.
 The attacks started after she claimed Ashby at the ice cream parlor before the hyenas were
banned. I think one of them saw Ashby s claiming, Liam said.
 Why would they want me though? What does it gain them to take me? Rebecca asked.
 Leverage. Aleks would move heaven and hell to get you back. He would also have the support
of the pride and pack. They could ask for anything, Leona said.
 I didn t know they were that organized. The way you describe them, it makes them sound like
backwoods rednecks that run meth labs at the edge of their properties. I wonder what they want that
makes them so desperate that they would risk pissing Aleks off, Rebecca said, snuggling closer to
him. He wrapped his arms around her.
 She s right, hyenas aren t known for being organized or intelligent or literate for that matter.
They would usually piss themselves at the thought of going against Aleks. They must want something
badly, Liam added.
 Or they found something that scares them more, Rebecca said quietly.
 Aleks, the next time you see a hyena, try not to maul it to death so we can ask it a few
questions, Connor said with a grin. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
