thegalleysandthegravesSome day, Peter Hale is going to learn not to answer the telephone. He hopes it's someday soon.
But for now he's stuck in the UK on orders from the Marrok and his mate to 'do something reasonable' with the wolves of Great Britain. Oddly no one laughed when he suggested stuffing the lot of them in a sack and tossing them in the Thames. Fair enough - he'd only been half joking. The trouble with the UK wolves was that their packs had disappeared long ago and they didn't seem inclined to return to a pack system. Peter can respect that. He's been known to have troubles with authority himself from time to time. But he does understand the logic and sense in having stable packs. The more stable the alpha the more stable the wolves in the pack. The more stable the pack the more stable the wolf population. The more stable the pack system the less likely monsters like Fenrir who were just out to maim and mutilate would get very far.
Packs policed their own and any wolf that couldn't find a way to control itself or was a danger to the public was usually disposed of quietly and quickly by other wolves. Brutal - but effective.
He was willing to roll up his sleeves and get to work, but he wasn't at all interested in the whole 'registration' thing and he'd been advised by the Marrok to refuse. Flatly. Emphatically if necessary. And if there's one thing Peter is great at - it's being emphatic.
So he'll meet with Matthias Heim and discuss it but he won't be registering shit. He'd brought along Leah's pet wolf Remus to act as a wizard to wolf translator. Peter liked the kid, smart, quiet, maybe a little haunted. He reminded him of his nephew Derek. He got the feeling that Remus was going to be an alpha someday. He just needed to get his feet under him and learn the skills. For all of Peter's failings he's always been good at teaching kids. Maybe it's from being a born wolf or maybe it's from being his sister Talia's Right Hand. But he's more or less confident he can get these young wolves in shape.
But only if he can make the registration go away.
