Mackenzie did not move from her place. Even the man's words didn't seem to intimidate the girl. She frowned, a little confused, at Damion's words about who the man could be. Nobody had attempted at his life since they had formed the pack, and even though she knew he had secrets - who didn't? - she couldn't see a reason for someone to want to kill him.<br/><br/>When the Alpha said his pack meant more than his life, the Beta gazed at him and nodded. It was a sentiment she could get behind. The pack meant a lot for her as well. If she had to die for one of her pack mates, she wouldn't think twice.<br/><br/>The girl only moved to let Damion take a better look at the stranger, but stayed seated on the floor, just paying attention and ready to move to the Alpha's  defense if necessary.<br/><br/>Her attention soon changed to his words. To what had happened when he had first changed. It was the normal first change for a werewolf like him, born under the full moon. But she could understand that he felt remorse for his past. She didn't have the same problem, having only killed one person, and one she considered deserving. But intellectually, she could comprehend. And imagine how it probably ate him alive.<br/><br/>After the Alpha's order to Arthur, the Beta finally stood up and walked up to Damion, turning her back to the intruder. "You could have told me", she stated, keeping her voice in a volume only he could hear. "And I nearly died when I thought he had killed you". After a moment, she added, in her usual way. "Tell one of the others I said that, and I'll kick your ass all the way to Japan".
