"Would you imagine the insult?!" Alpha Brain demanded to the other Alphas once Erik had left the room. "An underdog referring to us like we are his mates."
"He is an Alpha." Alpha Cullen admitted. "If you think of it in a way, he is our mate."
"Bah! Don't come here with all that silly talk of justice. He is an underdog! A sef, and whether or not he is an Alpha, who cares? So long as he is a sef, he can never be seen as an equal." Alpha Brian argued.
"Xaden is keeping up waiting." Alpha Lockwood said. "I wonder what is going on."
"Xaden is a barbarian. I'll tell you! He must have returned to the wild where he truly belongs and left us here." Alpha James spat.
"Xaden has left us to suffer for our deed for not stopping Bale's attack on his family." An old Alpha called Williams said. "He knows that without completing the final ritual, all wolves would be turned to mere humans, and we will suffer until the next halo festival."
