The Roman seemed to be acting in a rather welcoming manner, which Kove appreciated. It seemed Scarlett had made a wonderful decision in choosing him as beta, even if the other did not always seem to see things the same way as they did. He kept his gaze on the female all the while, watching her movements and examining any expressions shown. She'd seemed like a good wolf when they met, and continued to even then. She kept herself in submission around the two higher ranked wolves, even before she was officially made a member of the pack. He believed it would be good to have her around, another warrior and healer. Though the valley was calm and no enemies around, there was no telling when, or even if, something could change. At a time like that, if such a thing ever arose, he would be glad to have the dark-furred woman around. When the question came up of how she could gain membership, he found the answer to be simple enough. “Simply pledge your loyalty to the pack,” he stated. Already had she shown submission, and, in turn, respect by doing so. The only thing left for her to do was pledge that she would be loyal to the pack, and she would be accepted in. That was all he felt that was needed, and all he would make her give.

To Kove, there was no need for anything extreme right at the jump. Over time, connections and bonds would grow, as would a stronger sense of loyalty, and that was what really counted in his mind. Sure, the woman could give empty words in response to what he'd said was needed of her, but over time, with the idea in her head, he was sure true loyalty would grow and flourish. That was what he wanted, and hoped for.
