Truth was, she didn't believe that. He believed an alpha was out of control, and she suspected even in Chris' mind that meant putting them down. "Harmless" wolves were one thing. A killer was another.

"What did you expect to find then, Chris? A killer alpha and you were going to walk away?" She wanted to know what was going on, what he was going to do. She needed to know, for her sake and the sake of her pack.

"I remember you there. Once. Before that I didn't have a lot of memories, but I read the books. I know who came... and who didn't." And he had been there. Often. "I do... I'm glad you came, Chris. You're the only one that did," she admitted, knowing what that might say to him, to someone that knew a pack and how it should work. "Though, I'm not asking for you to agree. I'm doing what I need to, Chris."

She smiled then, true and honest. "I'm glad for her. She's so amazing. She always was."
