The Sentinels Before it's too late, stop trying to wait

@Osprey reposting this since there's the message from wifi too

Again, only if you want to and have time! It's aw so if someone wants to intercept they can!

Dante had known about Aria's promotion and trusted Lasher's judgement, though he expected some might not be happy about the decision.  Still Dante had failed to ask his mate of her wishes, and he frowned.  Was he mistaken?  Was the beta position something she had wanted?

It was too late now, and Dante would not ask Lasher to change his decision.  The alpha thought Aria capable and Dante agreed that her contributions had been valuable.  The promotion was hasty but the position had been long vacant.  Not since Dante's rise had all four positions been occupied.

He still needed to talk with his mate, however.  For he needed to know if she took the traditional view and opposed his own claim of a joint title with Aria.  In some packs, such a position was assumed to infer mateship, and if his wife resented the job share, he would graciously join the lower ranks.  Her feelings were more important to him than a title. Besides that, there was the message from Wildfire to deliver. He was not thrilled at the prospect, but he had promised to give her word and would do it regardless.
