Standing on the pack house steps. Watching the chaos with satisfaction. Not Marcus. Not any pack member I'd sus
*Thank you for leaving. Made this so much easier. By the time you return, Crescent Moon Pack will understand what happens to integration supporters. Jessica played her part perfectly. You played yours. Everyone did exactly what we predicted. See you soon. Or what's left of you.* I showed it to eve
