Questions and nervousness

There was an awkwardness that spread everywhere with Channing's question. The group of eight people who had followed John started to slowly merge in the members to run out of the anger that was coming next. The innocent members all felt the guilt that was weighing down on them since that day. 

"W-What are you saying, Ch-Channing?" Diana was left in the spotlight and she had to cover up. She stammered, "We were following your o-orders to always follow the Beta i-i-in your a-absence."

"Is that so? So you did not realise John was misleading you?" Channing stepped ahead, standing taller than anyone here. He was intimidating right now, like an Alpha should be. There was a doubt even I had since that day on how did the pack take so long to reach us when I was busy fighting John and the other wolf from Waterwoods killed our former Beta. Channing saw the speechlessness from Diana and asked again, "How did you not follow the Beta when he came to kill me then?"
