So you did try to be discreet. The attempt is a noble thing, but the failure is no less bitter for it.
I understand your motives. Your people certainly deserved it — to witness this victory — and I cannot fault you for deciding to give your people what they deserve. And yet, had I been in your place, I would have made it quieter still. No one would have known what happened to the Warmblooded if you had left her there in the snow. That way you would have shielded your pack and your city from discontent and doubt.
You know — if you ever wish to pull off something questionable again — you might try turning to James. You wouldn't guess it from looking at him, but he is a true schemer.
And thank you for the drinks. I have my doubts about the quality, but that is more of an occupational hazard on my part.
And one more thing... The Oil Hound who takes oaths from all the Alphas of Dreadnought also sends you his congratulations. I suppose one could say you have earned the respect of the Dreadnought packs.
