Twenty-three.

Twenty-three pack members dead, eleven of them were children. Three of them were our elders.

It had been two days since the explosions, and we now were able to accurately say how many losses we suffered. Everyone who had been admitted to the hospital either was cleared, in recovery, or dead. And though the number was already high enough, if it wasn't for our extraordinary nurses and doctors, the number would've been higher.

Still, that didn't make it any easier. There were still twenty-three lives that we weren't able to save, and that really fucking stung. Nobody should have died—Not even one.

Still, they did. And now that most of the mourning was out of the way, it was time for revenge. The pack wanted revenge on whoever was responsible for the attack on us, and they were willing to throw practically anyone under the bus.

"How do you know it's not her?" A man shouted, thrusting his palm towards me. I stood right next to Kailen, who looked at me with a bewildered face, and then back at the man with an angry face.

I could tell that this comment set him off, because next thing I knew a loud growl was erupting from his mouth. It was enough to demand the attention of everyone. Nobody said a word as they stared at their infuriated alpha. 

But Kailen wasn't set on stopping there.

"Let me hear you accuse your Luna of this one more time. See what happens!" He barked, loud enough to cause most of the pack to flinch and quiet down. They had been panicking like headless chickens for the past hour, but now that their alpha raised his voice, they were all ears.

Kailen looked at me, practically shaking with anger. Though it didn't bother me what that man had said, I could tell it upset Kailen a lot. It didn't surprise me that he would, I mean his mate had just gotten accused of mass murder by one of her pack members. I would be mad if they accused Kailen as well.

But I wasn't mad. I knew that people usually reacted based off of fear. Fear made people do, and say stupid things. And the majority of the pack was thinking with fear and anger. So I would let his accusations slide.

But still, I needed this pack to trust me. I needed them to know that I was on their side. I stepped out a bit closer to the pack, and looked out at the crowd. Though there were lots of injuries, lots of beaten down expressions, the pack was still here. They were still here, and I knew that they were ready to fight.

They just needed a little motivation.

"Wolves of Foxhole," I shouted, "Listen up. Looking out at all of you, I can see that you're scared. But I can also see that you're angry, you want whoever did this, to pay. So do I."

I paused to look at Kailen briefly, who gave me a brief nod, along with an encouraging smile.

"But we can't be blaming each other, it's only going to create trust issues, and right now we need to be able to trust every single person here. We need to be able to trust the person standing next to us, so that we're all united if this ever happens again."

Murmurs started to spread through the crowd, but I continued to talk before they could get too out of control.

"And as for the person or people who did this, I promise you that I will give their heads to you. I will not rest until they are dead. I swear it to you!" I screamed, fighting back the tears.
