A/N

Living in a world filled with wannabe tinpot dictators (aka Alphas), pack members who disagree with his every move, and dispossessed rogues, Alpha Jim of the Shadow Bluff Pack has given up on the idealism of his youth. The world he inhabits has inured him to dealing with the impasse of pack politics with practiced indifference.

But then, as the world around him is destabilised by a series of seemingly unrelated and increasingly serious events, he becomes aware, slowly but surely, that something malevolent is afoot, and that he must shake off this impassiveness to preserve his and his compatriots' way of life.
