Ryan snorted. "Everyone turns down alliances with jackals. Even other jackals don't like to mix with them because they know how untrustworthy their own kind are."
"It seems a little extreme to go after your kid because you didn't agree to an alliance," said Derren.
"My thoughts exactly." Taryn folded her arms across her chest. "Like Ryan said, jackals hardly ever make alliances. They wouldn't have been surprised that we turned it down."
"But they may have felt offended," Nick pointed out. "Alphas have been known to do shocking things when their pride's hurt. Still, I'd have to agree that going after Kye seems extreme in this context."
"Then I guess we need to visit the Glacier Pack and have a chat"—Marcus gave Trey a pointed look—"with the Alpha."
Trey rose from his seat, his grin a little . . . well, evil. "No time like the present."
