"That is so much for one man to carry"

Vasile nodded "Maybe, but it is my burden and one that I cannot share with the pack--ever They would see my father’s actions as weak and his dishonesty with them about his rity and ht even take it as far as to say that Alphas s, even the fe, and that would not be wise"

Anghel shifted restlessly in his chair as he considered the quandary Vasile now found himself in "If you are to be Alpha, and be obeyed completely, you must demand their fealty You must command their submission and the only way to do that is to be present You will need to go out and visit the villages of pack members You need to make yourself known, and you need to squelch any rumors about your parents’ death and reveal the truth" Vasile started to interrupt but Anghel held up his hand to stop him "I do not mean the real truth I mean the truth that you will tell your top four, and their mates as well By now, even the furthest packthe loss of their Alphas They will need reassurance that the pack is safe and intact They will need contact with you, the heart of their pack, and they will need to see confidence in your eyes That is where they will find their comfort and stability"

"So while I’ as well?" Vasile’s eyes began to glow as he considered the idea of actually finding her, his truethe truth when he clai of her since he had yet to find her There wasn’t a second in any day that he did not think of her He wondered what she would look like Would she have long hair or did she keep it shorter? Was she tall and lithe, or short and curvy in all the right places? Would her eyes sparkle when she laughed? On and on the questions bombarded his mind In truth he was desperate for her Whoever she was, he needed her, wanted her, and prayed the Great Luna would show him mercy and lead him to her

"I heard from your father that you are the most patient hunter in your pack He said that when you hunt as your wolf, you so yourself Maybe you should try to stir your wolf’s patience while in your hu that this hunt will not provoke the same kind of patience in him as the hunt for a kill does My wolf is restless for his round every day, and now I have no family left to keep ets stuck with me"
