Ouroboros Spine you were the only one

Sidewinder seemed like a nice enough fellow to have in their ranks. Of course, had Mordecai known his true intentions, it was a safe bet that things would have gone differently. Perhaps time would bring those to light, but one could have never been certain. Reclining to his haunches as a query reached his ears, Mordecai rolled his furry shoulders in a shrug. Was it wrong of Kaname to offer him shelter? Perhaps not. But the fledgling alpha did not have a loose tongue so readily.

“I don't think he did,” Mordecai answered. “Do you think it was a bad idea for him to take you in?” Maybe the gesture had surprised him, because it had for Mordecai. Kaname had become increasingly elusive in the weeks leading up to their progressive shift in leadership. It was that which made Mordecai consider that perhaps he too, did not care for the Ostrega's intrusion enough to approach him.
