samtaro commented on michimonster's post in blueridgeschool:

He didn't even have a chance before she punched him across the jaw. It hurt, he felt his whole head move with the blow. "I know she shouldn't have to go through it. I never wanted this for anyone," and despite it all there was still a low growl in his voice, like he couldn't quite shake the wolf yet.

He cringed when she called him a monster and stumbled backward. He knew if he tried to speak he would just loose it. He knew he was a monster and Mack was the only one willing to confront him about it. He just took another step forward, his hands hanging uselessly at his sides. He wouldn't fight her back but he wasn't going to walk away from Tatum.
