Mysterious Talia
While explaining about the Council of Alphas, James was writing down names and relevant notes that contained reasons why some people will definitely side with Alpha Edward, who will side with Damon, and who will be easily swayed.
As the names appeared on the paper, Talia recognized most of them. In the last few weeks, Talia was working as Damon's assistant, she exchanged emails with them, and with a few, she even spoke on the phone. Alpha Edward, Alpha Magnus (aka Tony's father), Alpha Richard (aka Cassie's father), and Alpha Maddox, fell into the category of Alphas that Talia saw in person.
Talia was not surprised when James put Alpha Richard in a group of hostile people.
"He doesn't like Alpha Edward, but they have a common enemy.", James said. "After the incident with Cassie at the Lightclaw pack, Alpha Richard is talking openly about how Alpha Damon is using his position to terrorize others."
