visited,
he remained silent. Jasmine knew his feelings toward her
smart-mouthed sister but as long as he kept his thoughts private,
there were no problems.
    Jasmine flicked his shoulder as she walked pass
him. “Be nice, Wolfie.”
    “I’m always nice… to your sister.”
    Laughing, she left his office with a wave
goodbye.
    “Hawke ?” he called through their mental
connection.
    “Sir?”
    “Are you at a point you can break
off and come to my office? The Pentagon called.”
    “Give me 15 minutes to wrap this up
and I’ll be there.”
    “Solid. Rose is still out, so come
on back when you get here. I’ll be in the conference
room.”
    “Yes, Sir.”
    Silas turned in his seat and pulled up the
monitor in his office. After a few clicks, he sent Alpha Chase a
message. A few moments later the Alpha appeared on the
screen.
    “Please forgive my tardiness, Sir. I’m in the
car on my way to a meeting with the Governor. How may I assist you,
Sir?”
    “Have you heard anything from Angus since he
arrived?” Silas didn’t want to call his litter-mate every hour but
that last visit to Colorado when he was captured still made him
nervous.
    “No, Sir. But there hasn’t been any news of
unexplained bloodshed either, so it’s not a bad thing.” Chase
smiled which eased the tension in Silas’ gut.
    “True. How is the situation with the rebels?”
Silas had sent Asia, Tyrese and Angus to the Rocky Mountains of
Colorado to squash a rebel uprising last week. Angus had been
taken, almost drained of blood and left to fend for himself by two
humans seeking proof werewolves were real.
    “Nothing since KnightForce dealt that blow last
week but we’re keeping an eye out for them, Sir.”
    “Angus believes the rebels are receiving wrong
information about the national pack and how we plan to move
forward. We cannot punish them without an equal attempt to speak
the truth then they can decide to submit to their state Alpha or
become outliers like the rebels. Hawke’s been working on a method
that will allow us to do that in a way that cannot be altered or
intercepted.”
    “That’s wonderful news, Sir. Glad we are
addressing that issue head-on. Many half-breeds are scared to join
the Nation because of all the lies. I look forward to the day the
integration of the two is behind us. My workload has doubled but I
have more pack to ease the load as well,” he rushed to
say.
    “Growth brings change and change is never
easy,” Silas said looking at Hawke in the doorway. He waved him
inside. “My appointment has arrived, we will talk soon.”
    Silas disconnected and looked at the file Hawke
held. “Your news first, I hope it’s good.”
    Hawke grinned. “I believe you will be pleased.”
He opened the file. A solitary disk lay inside. “The Alphas must
make some adjustments on their radio station equipment to get the
right pitch for the airways. Messages are recorded on this disk and
then played two-three times a day, rotating the times each day.
It’ll work. ”
    Silas picked up the disk and looked at it. “You
tested it?”
    Hawke nodded. “The only difficulty I see is if
the radio stations haven’t updated their equipment. This is
cutting-edge and requires matching equipment.”
    Silas replaced the disk. “If everything is
ready I will alert my Alphas of this new method of communication.”
Silas paused and then told Hawke about his earlier conversation
with the Pentagon General.
    “Strange they asked for me and not Dr. Passen
who was here when the bombs detonated. All of my information is
secondhand, whereas he has firsthand knowledge.”
    “Good point. I told them you were working on a
priority project for me and unavailable,” Silas said. “Plus, I
don’t trust them.”
    “There is no reason to trust them. Although
we’re not enemies, we’re like distant cousins forced to share the
same space. No doubt they are aware of our population increase and
the knowledge that some human women can bear our pups.
