Chapter 44: Chapter 44

“For my friends, I bring out the good stuff.” Marc’s face grew serious. “If you hadn’t come with me today, this would have gone to the council and I would have to resign in disgrace. Armand, a council member challenged you for your position that is their right. This situation was different. I had an Alpha Bitch, who didn’t respect her Alpha or the loup garou. It is almost unforgivable for a Council Alpha to have this kind of situation in his home pack and not be aware how far it had progressed.”

Now pour the cognac and the sherry and we’ll celebrate your coming mating.” Armand picked up his snifter expectantly.
