[Dylan]
I journeyed home after fighting long and hard in Dominus pack for many days. Though the enemies were strong, they were not the problem. The problem was the pain I felt on a regular basis which was an indication that even in my pack, Avira was not free. I needed no Gamma to tell me that it was Declan who authorized her suffering, or caused them himself. He had made good his threats to treat Avira as a slave, and I was too far away to protect.
Everytime she was hit, I felt it, everytime she got scared, I felt it. I felt it when for days she could not move because her whole body was covered in painful sores or when for the first time she was struck on the face, and each time I felt the urge to forfeit my mission at Dominus pack and return home, or reach out to Declan and make him stop.
