Alpha Lorenzo
Splinters explode into the air, but in the middle of the chaos I hear a commanding Alpha roar I wasn’t expecting.
“Stop the fucking fire! Patriarch Lorenzo, I’m Enzo Bianchi. Call off your men!”
Finally, I can think with some clarity, and Alpha Bianchi’s pheromones hit my nose.
“Leo, stand down!” I roar, and the clearing goes still again.
I rise just enough over the logs and see him step out with his hands up, a peace signal.
I scan the area. His men are sheltered inside, and I sense a few more hidden in the woods.
