Damon looked at Talia helplessly. Her stubborn expression told him that this won't be easy.
"You are Alpha Natalia Moonrider," he confirmed. "I am not telling you to stay back on a whim. We can't have all Alphas going on the field and leaving this place unguarded. Tanya is pregnant and shouldn't use her aura. There are only a few Alphas present we can trust. You might think that us being here is more than enough to ensure everyone's safety, but the packhouse is large and full of guests, and some of them might be hostile. If anything happens, you can protect everyone in this packhouse."
"Why can guys go while women stay behind?" Talia protested.
"Maya will come."
"Maya and who else?" Talia asked. "Is any male staying behind?"
Damon made a face. "Tony will join us as a good practice of what he learned with us during training, and Kalina will stay with her pregnant sister and the rest of her family."
