Zeke watched as the wolf named Stranger retreated. He gave a snort of satisfaction and turned back to Shiver with concern in his eyes. "I apologize for that display of aggression. But a wolf has nothing if not honor. And that wolf was obviously trying to lure you away. For what nefarious purpose, only she may know." He wanted to take a step forward and nuzzle her. He wanted to bury his nose in her pelt and inhaul her scent. He wanted to be alone with her so he could court her without interference from others. He realized that he was starring at him with longing and dropped his eyes, seemingly with embarrassment.
Now that that business had been dealt with, he turned his gaze to Snow. He could tell that the Alpha had good instinct and, while Zeke had given him no obvious reason to distrust him, he knew that Snow was suspicious of him. Very well. He would have to charm Snow as well. He listened to Snow's words and nodded his head. Gamma was a good rank for Shiver. But what of him? Snow had ignored's Zeke offer to fill the position of Beta...his mistake. Zeke would be Beta, or he would find another budding pack to join. Perhaps he would even create one himself....after all....it was in his blood. Zeke's mother, Acka, had founded the Honovi pack. Like his mother before him, he would one day rule.
"Snow..." He said quietly, drawing the Alpha's attention to himself. "I defend my pack at all costs. I am loyal and strong and without fear. I am the son Acka, the wolf who founded the Honovi pack. Leadership is in my blood....to give me any rank but Beta would be a waste of my talents. If you deem to make me your Beta, I will serve you and your pack faithfully for many years to come. However, if you cannot see my worth and if you would give me a lower rank, I shall not join your pack. For I only wish to serve a ruler that sees the value of its pack members. I have already shown you my willingness to put my life on the line in the defense of one who wishes to be called your pack. Can you see my worth? Do you value the skill and strength that I would add to your pack? Will you make me your Beta or shall I leave?" He didn't say it, but if Snow chose to deny him the position of Beta, Zeke intended on convincing Shiver to leave with him. And he was pretty sure he could manage it as well. Maybe he would propose that they start their own pack as Alpha male and female.
