~ SASHA ~
Sasha's lips thinned. Before she could open her mouth, Zev spoke up.
"You all know that Sasha is my mate—my Ardent mate. As such, she isn't a normal human. She has been accepted by the wolves. She is Alpha. That means she is as Chimera as can be."
"She's also proven that she works for our good by bringing the females back," Kyelle offered.
"Something Xar was never able to do," Lhars added darkly.
There was some grumbling, but no other protests were raised by the other Alphas and in her head, Zev suggested Sasha just move on.
"Okay, so we'll keep Nick at the village and agree none of us will allow him to see what we're doing. But this means continuing the patrols and males coming and going from the village. As the females become more comfortable, we may begin to include some of them that want to. But none of them will be forced."
