The warehouse was owned by the Kane family, but it had sat unused for years. In more peaceful times, it had been a place where rebellious members of both packs met up, hung out, and her father had mostly turned a blind eye to that sort of thing. At least until Logan died. After there, there was no attempt at peace, just harsh boundaries, and animosity. Logan’s murder was easy to blame on the rival pack, the Larimar, even if there was little evidence to support that theory.<br/><br/>It had been a decidedly human murder, a gunshot aimed right at the heart. If it had been an inch or so to the left or the right, Logan might have recovered.<br/><br/>Evie had spent weeks using her abilities to keep the pack as a whole calm, otherwise, they might have sought revenge for the perceived injustice. The hole in her heart never really healed, but the trauma had strengthened her in a way, a very different way from what it had done to her father. She wanted peace again, but not uneasy, informal sort they had back then. She wanted something that would last.<br/><br/>Her parents had retired from leading the pack and though it was rare that a so-called Luna would step into the role as alpha, it had been a fairly natural transition.<br/><br/>This meeting was not formal, none of her pack knew she was here. Officially, she was visiting with a human friend tonight, not having some kind of peace talks with the leader of the Larimar. She had liked Louis in the brief time she had known him years ago, when they were barely more than kids. The lights were on in the warehouse, something she had seen to early in the day, and it still smelled of wood and metal as she entered it.<br/><br/>She found him in the area where members of both packs had spent time together. Her short brown hair was pulled back away from her face and she had worn a more professional looking outfit, an attempt at looking like she took this seriously. Even with all the bad blood, she still respected him as a fellow leader.<br/><br/>“Is it bad that I’m a bit nervous?” She said, foregoing a greeting. “This is uncharted territory, for both of us.”<br/><br/>Evie took in a breath and caught his scent fully as she did so. There was something odd about it, something that drew her in closer. Her blue eyes narrowed as she scrutinized him a bit, trying to figure out why she was having such a strange reaction to him. Was it magic? Or just the fact that he was a wolf from another pack.<br/><br/>“Peace is important to me. After what happened to Logan…” Her voice trailed off. “I don’t want a family to go through that again, whether they’re from my pack or yours.”<br/><br/><a class="username" data-user-id="5552" data-username="@Protractive.Dreams" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" href="https://blackdahliaroleplaying.com/members/5552/">@Protractive.Dreams</a>
