He wouldn't bring the meat back to the church, because the smell would probably get noticed. So after every hunt he would skin and dry the meat, and every subsequent time he went back he would bring the meat that was already prepared the previous time. Having everything on a schedule gave Will the illusion of control over the chaos in his life, which made him content.

Yeah, but can we trust them? "Honestly Sam, I don't know, but I've known Mitch a long time and I trust him" "And anyway we don't have much choice," a third voice said "he's right, if these rogues take over then life won't be worth living" "But they say rogues will be able to live free peacefully" Now a new voice pipped in "If you believe that then you're a fool, packs don't kill us, rogues, without reason, I've crossed many pack wolves, I don't do anything to them or anyone else so they leave me be"

I said irritated Tbc.

Carl looked furious and my heart nearly stopped. “NO! You can’t!” If one Alpha so much as dared tell another that they were mistreating their people, it could start a damn war and I had just stopped one! “Carl, please! You have to promise me! You can’t tell Sebastian about this.” My heart was racing and my palms were sweating. I didn’t trust anyone to ever keep their promises, but for once in my life, I prayed that the moon goddess would weigh on Carl’s conscience if he broke that promise. He didn’t say the actual word but nodded in agreement and we got out of there. What was meant to have been a lovely afternoon without Eli turned into a very upsetting one and we were silent on our way back

"That's fair," I said. "I haven't been consistent. I've been showing up when guilt pushes me and retreating when it's painful. That's not—that's not reliable and you've had no reason to trust that I'll actually be there." "I'm not saying this to make you feel bad—"

Showing up at the same time every day and doing the work together and being reliable in the small way that builds toward trust in the larger way. Kael was good at this. He had always been good at this. It was why the rogue network had worked for twenty years. Not because of his tactical skills, though those were exceptional. Because he showed up consistently for the wolves who needed someone to show up consistently. I watched him with Finn and felt the thing that was not pride but recognition and let myself feel it fully this time. He was back. Not as he had been before the three years. Better in some ways. The particular quality of someone who had been tested

She is close enough to smell smoke and still looking in the wrong direction for fire. Maya does not correct her. Correcting people is how they remember you. Instead, she says, "I like being prepared." Carol nods. "Smart girl." Maya accepts the compliment with the grace of someone being praised for standing near a cliff with a parachute nobody else can see. Carol goes into the spreadsheet as: C. Engine. Reliability: high. Risk: low-medium. Belief system: practical pessimist. Cultivation method: vehicle advice, coffee, future favour.

“Are they?” I blinked. “The records say they are.” “The records say they have always delivered their contracts.” “…Yes.” “Does that tell you they’re honest?” I opened my mouth, then closed it again. Not necessarily. It only proved they honored agreements that benefited them. Valerian noticed the realization on my face. “A reliable ally and an honest man are not always the same person.” “I see.” “You will.” He walked around the table slowly, his robes brushing softly against the polished floor. “Politics is full of people who appear trustworthy because keeping your trust is useful.”

Abel was curious about Daisy’s certain attitude. “You know he didn’t only show his wedding ceremonies, but he also showed off his beautiful wife and good children on f******k, zalo…In today's society, everybody follows each other through social network sites. Anyone who regularly updates their status and news. Outsiders know them better than the members in their family.
