New Blood in The War for Power

She was not like most Alphas. A lot of Alphas made friends with their subordinates, treated them as equals that they were not. Some Alphas even encouraged neutrality from their subordinates, as if being their friend was most important than leading them. She was a Kesuk, and therefore had a more military mind than other Alphas. Jinx was like an Admiral who led first and fostered relationships later.

Therefore, she didn't feel remorseful in the slightest when Lunar bowed into extreme submission. She didn't comfort the woman or invite her to rise from her position because it was "unnecessary". She relished the power that came with being the Alpha female, and she relished the shows of devotion and subordination that every wolf under her banners showed. She slackened her display only slightly to signal that Lunar was free to stand properly, but the Kesuk certainly wasn't about to address her as an equal.

She had to wonder for a moment who Iris was, and decided that Lunar must have misheard her young charge. “Ira told me to expect you,” she announced, folding herself neatly into a seated position as though preparing herself for a lengthy discussion, “so no need to become Dead Meat today.” She preened the fur on her left shoulder for a moment, considering where to start, and chose the most direct point to begin with: “What can I expect of you, Lunar? What makes you a wolf worthy of this mountain?”
