Joseph's POV
Friday evening was spent giving Damon, Aaron, and Coco a comprehensive tour of our territory. I watched Damon's expression shift from polite interest to genuine amazement as he witnessed something most Alphas only dream of - a truly unified pack. The bond between my wolves was palpable, their loyalty authentic rather than forced through fear or dominance alone.
Coco received the full treatment from our pack members. Their respect for her wasn't manufactured courtesy but genuine admiration. I could see the wheels turning in Damon's mind as he processed what he was experiencing. Hearing about pack harmony and actually feeling it pulse through every interaction were entirely different things.
After breakfast the next morning, Damon, Aaron, Karl, and I gathered in my office. The atmosphere was serious now, the pleasantries of the previous evening replaced by the weight of impending decisions.
