Blacktail Deer Plateau The air between us

This one's for you, @Dante. I'm assuming he talked this over with @Fox and @Blue Willow behind the scenes.

When it came to their vacant Beta male rank, the obvious choice (for Peregrine) was Lasher. Yet the dark leader was aware of his pack mates' scrutiny. Even though the ocher male deserved the honor, everyone would think he'd promoted him out of favoritism. It bothered Peregrine that his subordinates' opinions should affect his decisions, yet the fact that they had another very eligible candidate couldn't be dismissed either. Dante was just as worthy of the honor and, in the end, Peregrine and his two co-leaders decided they would give the pewter male a chance.

Of course, they had to ask first. It fell upon Peregrine to summon Dante. After parting ways with his two leading ladies, the Alpha male decided to track the Gamma rather than howl for him. When he discovered Dante patrolling the borders, it cleared away the Alpha male's last misgivings. Dante deserved this. Lasher would become the Gamma in his stead and Peregrine had no doubt that his lover would happily go wherever Peregrine asked of him. And even if he wouldn't hold the rank of a leader, he was potentially the Alpha pair's lover, which came with its own perks. He would not be left wanting for his lack of a leadership title.

"Yo, Dante," Peregrine said as he made his approach. "I have a favor to ask of you." He said no more, giving the sterling silver wolf a chance to react.
