The day before, Alpha Denzel was all smiles when he received Alpha Ludwig's report from Burke.
Ludwig had put the report together, stating how preparing the comprehensive report had opened his eyes to the things he was doing wrong as a leader and had already put measures in place to improve.
It was clear that he had not allowed his beta to do it, or else he would not have seen those red flags. The suggested measures were equally good, so Alpha Denzel sent him training videos as well to help him improve in that area.
However, there was another note attached to the report which read,
'Alpha Denzel, tomorrow is Raven's birthday and I have a gift prepared, but I need your permission to give it to her. It's an old Jade necklace my mother gave me, and since I'm very busy now with the various changes in the pack, I would just like to spend a few minutes at your pack to give it to her.'
