Silvertip Mountain Leadership is about growing others

The decision was very drawn out, but when it was finally out, Ezekiel was a bit shocked. The whole pack? Chose him? He really hadn't thought they would've gone for him, it's not like he was at the top of everyone's favorite wolf list. However apparently they thought a bit more of him than he did. A smile broke across his face. They wanted him to be beta, not just Steady. And he wanted it, for himself. A rare moment of ambition and pride coursed through him, driven by the knowledge that everyone approved of him. Approval was something he'd sought for a long time, and here it was, staring him in the face.

Yes, I do want this. Especially now that I know you talked to the whole pack about it. Thank you Steady. He said with a grin, and a pleasant nod of respect. He accepted his new rank willingly, and couldn't wait to tell Valette. The thought passed through him, whether or not she'd suggested him. He'd ask her later, but for now he would relish in his small victory. Ezekiel, beta of Silvertip Mountain.
