Hiding Something

[Donald's Perspective]

I let out a long breath and took my hand reluctantly off Margaret's back.

Margaret seemed to know what I was about to say to her. She hugged me and silently made room for me.

"Do you need me to come with you?" Margaret said.

I thought about it and nodded. I had to hand Margaret over to someone I trusted to be at ease.

We walked downstairs hand in hand, and I kept Margaret in my arms the whole time. Her presence made me feel stronger, and the physical contact between us would strengthen that. We went to the council hall together. I began to hate this place, because every time I came here, it meant new bad news.

There were already a lot of people gathered here, both from the Silver Moon Pack and the Red Sun Pack. There were also some people I had brought with me. We were starting to unite more forces.

I saw Alpha Armstrong and Beta Anthony of the Silver Moon Pack in the crowd, along with my Beta, Elliot.
