“I don’t have a problem with shapeshifters. I have a problem with that particular Pack. I know Lennart. I know how he operates. We’re not doing this.” “Curran Lennart is no longer in charge of the Atlanta Pack,” Savannah said. Hugh looked at her, then turned to Lamar. “You didn’t think to mention it?” “It didn’t come up,” Lamar said apologetically. “He retired to start a family.” Hugh stared at him for a second longer, then laughed, a bitter cold sound. “The moron left it all for her. You can’t make this shit up. Who’s in charge now?” “James Shrapshire,” Lamar said. Elara had to grab this opening. “See? It’s no longer Lennart’s pack.” “Is Lennart dead?” Hugh asked. “No,” Dugas said. “Then it’s still his Pack.” Hugh leaned forward. “Lennart is a First. His ancestors made a deal for their power with animal gods that roamed the planet when humans ran around in animal skins and hid from lightning in caves. It doesn’t matter who’s in charge of the Pack. When he roars, every shapeshifter will follow him, and we won’t be doing business with him. This matter is closed.”
