Don't mind that

BALIN

After I stormed out of the room, I had gone to have a meeting with other Alphas of the empire regarding the escape of the demon. Having been ruling for a long time, I knew that if the demon should end up hurting or killing anyone, the blame would be shifted to Marilyn for causing the escape of the demon. And that was something I didn't want. Left to me, I didn't really care about that, as long as no one speaks to my face about it. Side talks mean nothing, coupled with the fact that no one in the entire empire would want to get on my bad side. But then, I knew it was different for Marilyn. I'm aware of how weak she is and coupled with the fact that the pack didn't accept her, I know the blame being shifted on her would break her and that is something I didn't want. Yes, I can punish or deal with whoever blames her, but then, after that, the emotional damage it caused her would remain. To prevent that, I had to act really fast.

At the meeting, we all decided to go hunt the demon.
