perfect sense and then said, “I’m used to helping my neighbors. With one person per square mile and a town spread over fifty square miles, you learn to pitch in.” Trace answered. “Okay we’re all set, hop in, and point me where you need to go.” They both climbed into the cab and the dogs jumped over into the back seat. Just before he started his engine, his stomach growled. “Excuse me, maybe after we get you settled, you can point me in the direction of a café or restaurant where I can get a quick meal?”
    “Sure, no problem. For now, hang a left at the first light and the service station is on the next block on the right. Why were you headed to the compound? I’m asking because I’m an Enforcer for the pack and right now to get onto the compound is a little difficult.”
    “Well actually, I came to meet your Alphas. What can you tell me about them? I grew up in an Aerie, and though I’ve met other shifters occasionally in my travels, I’ve only ever lived with eagles,” Trace said to Shane. He was hoping a fellow eagle would take pity on him and help him get settled in this strange new place. He wasn’t accustomed to so many people. And he was glad the pack had left Denver.
    “Do you know about the challenge to our Alpha Quin? This may not be the best time to ask for a meeting with Quin and Jaden. Although Cami would probably love to meet another eagle,” Shane said and rolled his eyes. “If you’re going to spend any time here, you have to know one thing. The female Alpha, Cami, has this thing about meeting other shifters. I mean, you are lucking out because she has already met my family and me, but she will still have a million questions. We have lived with the Pack for too long to give her enough info on the eagles. She’s a wolf now of course, when I first met her she was still human, and it’s been only a year, so she’s still very curious.”
    “Uh, well, I guess that I can tell her what I know. And yes, I know about the challenge. I really pushed the drive because I wanted to be here for it, I left Niarada at about 3 am so it’s been a long day for me. Who should I let know that I’m here? I would rather talk to the Alphas all together, but I can wait if I need to,” Trace asked as he slowly pulled into the service station.
    “Let’s get the car in for service and then head over to my parents’ house. You’ll get a good meal from either Mom or Dad and we can make some calls.”
    “Thank you, that sounds great. Would you mind my asking you what tribe you’re with?
    I’ve been raised with the Salish and recently found out I’m one of the Diné, or Navajo, the Feather People clan,” Trace said to Shane.
    “Wow, I’m also Diné. In Diné culture you take on your mother’s clan, your ‘born into clan’, my mom’s also of the Feather People clan so we’re probably related in some way.
    Mom will know, she still keeps in touch with family back in New Mexico. Dad is a roamer from Ireland and migrated to California in the thirties. He’s a total flower child now, everything natural which fits in with our tribal beliefs of ‘walking in beauty’. He and mom met just after he got out of the Peace Corps, they were protesting the continued removal of Navajo kids to live in boarding schools. The Belegaana thought making them live as whites would integrate them into white society, go figure. All they did was go back to their families, the result? It created a huge culture gap between the generations. We’re still recovering. You know, since we’re the same clan, which makes us brothers by Diné custom and the duty of my family to see to your needs, you know watch over you while you’re here. Give you food and make sure you have a place to stay and everything.” Shane gave Trace a grin and held out his hand. “Welcome to Milliken, brother.” Maybe that was why he felt the kinship and the zing; his eagle recognized him as a brother.
    “Thank you, it’s good to be welcomed. I
