Isla's eyes widened when she heard what her mate just said. She immediately grabbed Elias' arm.
"What do you think you're doing? Elias, please stop this..." she whispered to her mate and then turn to Leland. She spoke apologetically. "I'm sorry, Leland, please don't fight my mate!"
Whether or not Isla agreed with Leland's decisions, she knew her cousin's reputation far too well. He was strong and ruthless. He had killed the most powerful warriors from each tribe when they were challenging his position
There was a great reason why the Obsidian Sand Pack was mostly neutral and didn't actively participate in wars and conquests while Blood River Pack did. She didn't want Elias to get harmed.
In terms of the power difference, not all Alphas were the same.
