KIERAN'S POV

Six months into Eli's regional coordinator position, the territory was running smoother than it had in years.

Not because of me specifically. Because Eli had built the enforcement infrastructure so cleanly that the pack understood the system without needing constant explanation. New cases came through, the territorial liaison processed them, they moved to Eli's oversight, and the outcomes were consistent and fair.

It was the kind of structure that worked because everyone involved u

    ELI'S POVFour years after the treaty signing, I received a letter from the governance board requesting my presence at a formal ceremony.The Supernatural Rights Act was being recognized as the foundational framework for five regional territories. The enforcement mechanism was being held up as a model for how other regions should structure their implementation. My name was going to be publicly credited as the architect of the system.Kieran read the letter and looked at me."How do you feel about it," he said."Overwhelmed," I said honestly. "The work was never supposed to be about recognition. It was supposed to be about making the system work.""The system does work," he said. "And part of why it works is because you built it." He paused. "You can accept recognition without that changing what the work means."The ceremony was held at the governance board's main office, which had been expanded three times since I'd taken the appeals coordinator position. The building was packed — ter

    KIERAN'S POVThree years after the treaty signing, the territory was operating in a state of equilibrium I hadn't thought was possible.The enforcement mechanism was stable. Pack members understood their rights. The territorial administration moved smoothly because Reina understood the work in a way that didn't require constant correction. Cole was building the enforcement curriculum into something that other territories were requesting access to.And Eli was teaching it without burning himself out, which was perhaps the most remarkable thing.I was in a governance board meeting when the proposal came up.Director Cael Draven presented it calmly, the way he presented everything — a proposal to formalize the enforcement coordinator position into a regional oversight body that would bridge all northern territories. Eli's position would expand to include direct authority over enforcement implementation across eight territories.The board was receptive. It made sense — the work had grown

  • My Alpha, My Verdict    CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT

    ELI'S POVTwo years after the treaty signing, the Supernatural Rights Act passed into formal territorial law.Not just the treaty framework anymore — actual legislation that had been drafted by a committee I'd chaired, that established protections across multiple pack territories, that created enforcement mechanisms that would survive beyond any individual person's involvement.The legislation signing happened at the governance board office in a ceremony I attended alongside Kieran, Drea, Cole, and the three territorial Alphas who'd been the strongest supporters.Judge Mott presided over the formal signing, which felt right — she'd set the precedent with her ruling, now she was witnessing the full implementation.When my signature went on the final document as the appeals coordinator, I felt the particular exhaustion of something that had consumed three years of my life finally being complete.Kieran held my hand in the ceremony and didn't say anything, just stood beside me while the

    KIERAN'S POVEighteen months after the bonding, Cole came to me with a proposal that I hadn't anticipated.He wanted to step back from his Beta position.We were in my office reviewing territorial expansion plans when he said it, which meant he'd been preparing the conversation carefully and wanted to deliver it in a space where we could talk without interruption."I'm tired," Cole said plainly. "I've been beside you since we were teenagers and I've been managing pack infrastructure for fifteen years and I want to do something else."I set down the documents. "What do you want to do.""I want to help build the enforcement infrastructure from the pack side," he said. "Work with Eli on how individual territories implement the treaty's protections. It's interesting work and it doesn't require me to be in pack politics."I understood immediately what he was saying. Cole had spent a decade and a half managing the territory while I managed the Alpha position and he was ready for something t

  • My Alpha, My Verdict    CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

    ELI'S POVOne year after the bonding contract signing, the Supernatural Rights Treaty had been adopted by seven regional territories and was under consideration by three more.The enforcement mechanism had processed over two hundred cases. The appeals process I'd built was being replicated in other regions. The territorial cooperation framework had become the baseline for how enforcement was coordinated across pack boundaries.Drea threw a party at the firm to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the treaty signing.It was more celebration than I usually tolerated — there was wine and music and colleagues from other firms who'd been part of the enforcement work. But Drea had organized it and she'd invited Kieran and Cole and Sienna, which made it less of a professional obligation and more of something that actually mattered.I found Kieran on the firm's roof where he was standing with wine looking at the city."You escaped," I said."Drea told me I was allowed to take a break from sm

Because Eli had built the enforcement infrastructure so cleanly that the pack understood the system without needing constant explanation. New cases came through, the territorial liaison processed them, they moved to Eli's oversight, and the outcomes were consistent and fair.It was the kind of structure that worked because everyone involved understood their role and trusted the people beside them.I was in the administrative building reviewing a territorial dispute when Cole came in with news that the governance board wanted to expand the appeals coordinator position into a full-time role."They're offering him a salary equivalent to what we pay you," Cole said. "Which means he'd be working for the governance board, not the territory."I looked up from the dispute file. "How do you feel about that.""Professionally? It's what he sho
