Plot- Adila's alpha sends her to California in hopes of creating a land truce with the two strong packs in that area for possible land to move their deteriorating pack. Once there Adila is met by Darkriver's and snowdancer's alpha's and their future alphas off of the plane at the international airport. (she is very relieved to be on the ground again) the lions wish to stop the treaty being created and so send their own ambassador and a sabotage team to destroy all chances of the savanna prints moving to America and under the protection of darkriver and snowdancer packs. Their motive is that they know nothing but war and wish to exterminate the prints' permanently since they are the only pack directly opposing them for now. Adila falls for Darkriver's future alpha during the negotiations and vice versa. The lions attempt several murder attempts (3), a kidnapping attempt (1), treaty bypass (throughout story), a threatening letter (1), discredit (throughout story), and finally mass genocide attempt in Africa.

Savanna Prints pack hierarchy: Alpha- "shaman"

Female Fighter class by status/dominance-

Birthing mother most submissive

Page first step to knightess

Novice second step to knightess

Squire third step to knightess

Warrior fourth step to knightess

Knightess last step for female dominance other than alpha

Male statuses based on dominance-

Father less dominant

Defender most dominant

((sometimes the males can be both, esp. since the pack is short on males *comparatively*))

Personality- one of the classic nice guys that never gets the girl, teddy is adored by all but is never able to pull himself out of the "just friends" category; which is fine by him because frankly he has been to busy with his pack getting over their past and start moving forward.

She ended up waitressing at a local dive and saved enough to buy Teddy his first car when he was 17, by the time he graduated high school and went to community college he was 19, at 21 he was attending Florida state for a business degree and was away still during the whole incident in "Caressed by Ice" with his pack he at age 25 he came back home learned about what happened and that's when he started becoming so hardcore about stabilizing the pack emotionally and financially.
