[ Not while there is breath in her body and she's capable of drawing attention to herself. She'll do the right thing. She'll keep her cub safe. The pack will survive even when she dies. This is the truth of what it means to be the alpha. She is sword and shield. ]

get involved with Melissa She doesn't know about our connection and you need to look busy. Say you've fallen out with me from how I accused her if you have to. And you need to butter her up so she won't accuse you to protect one of the other soccer bitches.
I'm going to work with Jinx and Devon to keep you safe. Misinformation if we need to.
Not sure I trust Mr Dekarios yet but he's offered to protect you too. He's my ripcord option.
[ Later, when his anxiety isn't a cacophony in his head, he'll read this back and understand every word. For now he just wonders what he's done to deserve the protection from so many people. He had his coven back home, the new weird kid in their town, amazed he was even able to make any friends. Now he has a pack in Ren, and a support network that feels surreal. Undeserved.
He can't be a killer. He's said that with fear's claws in his thoughts before, but it's different now. So everything his mothers did doesn't go up in flames, so everything his friends are doing won't be for nothing, he can't be a killer. He can't disappoint them. He's going to protect them the same way they're protecting him. ]

you need to keep your head down and don't attract attention. No accusing people. No speaking up unless you're directly asked.
I'm going to handle this.
I'm pulling rank here. Whatever i do, you're not going to fight me. Because we need to keep you out of that cage.

Magic. Witch. Paw prints. Wolf. Both have been brought up as possible killers, and now Ren brings him the two combined.
It was me.
It can't be me.
It was me.
What am I going to do if it's me?
What does a full-fledged panic attack feel like? ]
Ren
Are they going to kill me?
[ Like they killed Saber. ]
