Well, it wasn't like he could try and deny it. He was an alpha, that was obvious. He knew he reeked of the pheremones, and his size was a dead give away.
What had Edmund meant to ask? Was that why he'd been hesitant to change? Was it why Peter didn't want the pride changing, apart from one another? It was certainly an awkward situation, as many full-grown Alphas in one pack as they had. Al was one of several, his brother another notable. In the days before, they'd have left the pack. Branched out to find mates, and started their own bloodlines. There were too few breeding pairs left in Narnia for them not to.
But then Jadis had all but destroyed their pack structure. Now, they all stuck together. Even Brother and Winry, who were on the verge of starting their own pack. Peter didn't want them going off on their own, especially sinve he didn't have a mate of his own. So Al remained in the pack, a lone alpha, something of an aberration.
And that really, really wasn't a discussion he wanted to have. Especially not with Edmund. So he stretched out his neck and delicately closed his teeth around the rag -- and pulled.
