Adrian's eyes burned with anger. He was furious with Hide for chastising him, especially since all he wanted was to help him. On top of that it was twice that day that someone had attempted to subdue his position as Beta and it was infuriating. Hide was a male, but let there be no mistake Adrian had fought and clawed his way to where he was. His eyes burned yellow and his teeth somewhat elongated, but Adrian did not strike out or even reply. Instead he merely went and put the pack of cigarettes he had on the table beside Hide and walked off looking downtrodden. Adrian walked past the girl being interrogated and straight back to the roof where he sat down. He couldn't understand why he was the focus of so much anger. All he had done was chase down a stray that had potentially been involved in attacking one of his family. He seriously doubted the girl could case those wounds, but Rose had looked scared enough, and the girl had run all the circumstantial evidence pointed to her being involved. Besides that if he had let her run away then he would have been failing at his position of beta. Adrian stood on the side of the roof looking down. He had no intention to jump, but he did enjoy the feeling of wind in his hair. Sighing he put his hands in his pockets and stepped down from the ledge turning and punching a metal vent. A small amount of blood dripped from his knuckle painting the rooftop gravel a deep scarlet. He didn't know what to do, half the pack agreed with his actions, the other half despised them. Finally he exhaled and returned downstairs. He stood beside the girl and called to all of the members to gather before him. He blinked a few times and his eyes turned yellow again to show his seriousness in the situation. "I know many of you disagree with my actions. However I AM the beta and from what I had seen the girl was a threat. I did not kill her, but she did run and had our brothers blood on her hands. I do not think that she did that to hide, but that is not for me to decide. This is our decision as a family as to what to do with her. As for the criticisms that have come of my actions I would like to remind all of you that while I am young I AM the beta. I don not wish to have to pull seniority of rank or use aggression on any of you. I love each of you deeply as family, but we cannot have dissension in the pack it threatens our very way of life. This being said I would like to ask now of all of you what to do about the girl, as well as inform you that I will be leaving at the end of the day with the newblood to get out of the city. She will have a hard time with the change and being away from people will ease the stress. Upon my departure Roman shall be just under the Alpha until I return if there are any concerns let me know now." Adrian finished his eyes returning to green and a grim look on his face.
