106 - Ryker


    Calvin is walking up with Finn


    in silver cuffs. His wrists are red from the silver, but aren''t raw and bloody like he has been fighting them. It''s what most wolves do. What they don''t seem to understand is that the cuffs are designed to withstand


    Finn knows what he is here for and he has epted that fate. He thinks he is going to die here today. What he doesn''t know is that Alpha and I have searched through his and his wolf''s mind. He truly thought he was doing what was asked of him as the best course of action for these pack members. He now understands he wasn''t made to be the leader because he was the


    best choice of the options, but because he is expendible. Amy, his mate doesn''t want him, because of his rank and current status of being a rogue. No one deserves to suffer the way he has, the way my mate d "Gather round!" I call out to the group of rogues trying and failing to stay in the background but close enough to hear what is going on. I pull Kennedy to me and ce her in front of my left leg. It''s a sign of peac arm is locked around her waist ready to pull her back to safety if needed though. I''m not stupid. She doesn''t flinch or question the position, just rests her


    arms on mine casually.


    Once everyone is settled and I have their full attention we begin. The sky is now a perfect shade of bright oranges and pinks. The practice arena''s drab grey stone and dirt floor are warm and inviting. It feels alm "Finn, you have been brought forward to give testimony on the attacks of Dark Moon pack and the abduction of our Luna." My voice is magnified in the circr space. "Who was involved in the nning of the at “Themander gave us our final n, Amy gave us our insight to the patrol schedule, and the warriors who attacked Alpha.”


    "And the attack on the little girl this spring?"


    "Also themander and Amy. They know of the Luna''s attatchment to the girl."


    "How was that aplished?" I don''t need to know, but Kennedy does. She needs this closure for her and Emily.


    "The opportunity was found while the


    girl was separated from her friends." I feel Kennedy tense her fingers


    into my arm, but she shows no other signs of distress. "Three of our warriors, one being Dirk," He looks from Kennedy to me and back again. "Corralled her into running towards the wolfsbane grove. The goal w she fell. I watched from the other side of the


    gorge. We thought there was no way she would survive that fall.” He takes a shakey breath. "I would have looked for her if I thought she had any chance of survival."


    "Why doesn''t she remember being chased?" Kennedy asks. “She said nothing of being chased when we asked."


    "We have learned over thest year how to be stealthy, Luna. Sometimes, the things you can''t see


    are more scary than the ones you can."


    "And the attack yesterday?" I have to move this conversation along, we need Amy and her


    dad. I need confirmation.


    It was a three-fold attack. The two groups of


    warriors were to divide your and the fire was to pull everyone else including the Luna closer to our current camp. This also left your packhouse vunerable, or so we thought."
