Wyatt and his father, and his father’s father before them had all used the same system for the northern and southern territories of Winter.
They had divided the duties between the Alpha and the Beta. The southern wolves recognized the Alpha as their pack leader, but it was the Beta that actually handled their concerns and problems on a day-to-day basis.
Axel did not agree with this system.
Saul was a great man and would lead the southern territories well, but Axel wanted a more united Winter. Especially as they prepared for war.
He knew that he would not be able to oversee all of Winter, even if he did agree to all the upgraded communications and monitoring systems that Galen had tried to pitch him over the last several weeks.
But what he could do was utilize more than just Saul as a territorial leader.
