Elwood couldn't help but laugh; he wasn't at all surprised that Spectra's conversation with Peregrine had involved a discussion of "man parts." "That sounds like Perry," he said with a nod of his head, though it sounded as though Spectra was really surprised to find out about Perry's high-ranking position. Although he was an Alpha, he often didn't act like it -- with his friends and family, he could be a goofy, easy-going guy. Trespassers were one thing that brought out another side of Peregrine -- the defensive, aggressive, and protective side -- so Spectra was lucky that her initial interaction with him had gone so well.

"He is a regular, casual guy. He's not one to flaunt his leadership, although he is a pretty cool Alpha," he added, hopefully easing Spectra's mind.
