Visha woke up in the room by herself. She could smell the scent of Uri and Xeno in bed, which meant they hadn't left that long ago. She splashed some water on her face and headed downstairs.
She walked out to see everyone gathered in the square. The fire crackled, casting long shadows across the faces of the pack. She heard Kael's voice. He was talking about what the Tiger tribe did.
He told them about his choice to leave the Tiger tribe completely after they tried to use Heta repeatedly. He told them about the deal. Heta would add small details here and there. It wasn't the first time Visha noticed, but Heta was much calmer now than she was during the winter.
When Kael finished, the square was silent.
"So how do we know we can trust you?" Krag asked? "You say you have left, but we can't be sure of that. There is always a chance you are lying."
The silence became heavier because of Krag's statement. Visha didn't speak up for them. She wanted to see what Krag would say.
