The Beta male agreed with Peregrine's observations about Somnia. It made him want to ask Fox if they could make the Gamma rank an honorary leadership position or something. But wouldn't that be too many chiefs and not enough Indians or something like that? He sighed inwardly, trying to accept the inevitable. Somnia deserved the best anyway. In the meantime, they could enjoy her—especially her burgeoning child-rearing capabilities.

Elwood wanted to know about future puppy prospects and Peregrine paused before answering. "We've agreed that we want our litter to be at least six months old before we consider letting anyone else breed. Even then, I can't see us handing out that privilege easily. Honestly, we'd probably extend it to our Betas—you and Fin, in this case—but it's unlikely we'd allow anyone else." It would be easiest if the Betas bred together in that scenario, though even if they found separate mates, that would mean a maximum of three litters, which seemed more than enough.
