The short, stocky, Indera clan leader yelled out, “Exile is too good for her! Intentionally putting the pack in harm’s way is against the primary law. Is this how low we've sunk? Now we won't even consider ridding ourselves of those who would kill us?” “Enough, Roderic. Considering she's a seventeen year old girl, I thought she made a wise decision. Had she sentenced Shana to death, how many of you would have trusted her then? How many of you would have wondered when it would be your turn on her hit list?” Grumbles, punctuated by several nods, flitted throughout the group. A petite woman with shoulder length auburn hair lifted her hand. “Yes, Ruby?” Thomas nodded his head in her direction. “I guess I'm just dense. I was there. I was just as shocked as everyone else when Sarah released her. How could this have happened? We've known Shana her whole life. How could she pit us against a larger pack, knowing that some--if not most--of us would die? I know she's power hungry, but for the love of Mike! I thought she was my friend.” Lowering his gaze to the floor, Thomas answered, “I can't tell you that. I probably know her better than any of you, and even I didn't think she was capable of this. Even after she sentenced her own family to death, I did not see this side of her. Maybe I didn't want to.”
