“So, what is it?” Gideon looked at his Beta with his brows furrowed. He knew that Reid would never distract him at a moment like this. Not when he just brought his mate to his house

to spend time with her.

morning after you were gone as I received the news about local packs training together with foxes and werebears right next to our territory.

“Foxes and werebears, you say?” Gideon rubbed his chin, which he had shaven clean just this morning before meeting Riannon. Now his usual stubble wasn’t there and it felt weird…

Foxes, werebears and werewolves hated each other. They were all subjects to Lycan’s and it was usually hard to make them stay civil with each other.

And now they were training happily together. Only that both Reid and the king knew that there was nothing to be happy about there.

They all were not one hundred per cent satisfied with the lycans’s rule. All of them thought that they could do better. Not even realising that it was the lycans who kept them from killing each other and going to war. There was a big difference between lycans and other kinds of shifters. And it wasn’t just the fact that they were physically stronger and more powerful. It was the fact that in spite of their power, they could control their feral beasts inside of them

better than anyone else and were capable of making reasonable decisions at all times.

They could have submitted everyone using raw force. Just like their ancestors did back in the day. But now lycans preferred to avoid wars where it was necessary. And sometimes Gideon was questioning that decision. Because ever since the lycans went onto this peaceful path, everybody wanted a piece of them. Unfortunately, they were not ready for the new ways.

Now the rumours were spreading all over the kingdom that an uprising was in the works. But it was still hard to tell which packs were involved in it and when would they start acting. Or if they already started…

“The warriors will deal with it, you know that,” Reid placed his hands in his pockets,

leaning over the wall, “But…”

“It’s just the tip of the iceberg and we still don’t know who is causing all that,” Gideon said out loud what they both were thinking and then looked at his Beta, “And you still think it’s a good time for a White Party?”

“Actually, I do,” Reid smirked and Gideon remembered that he made him his second in command for a reason.
