Crippled Luna's Farewell: Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception

Cody looked calm but observant, his hands in his pockets, his posture firm yet not aggressive.

Linda, on the other hand, exuded her usual poised confidence, her sharp eyes assessing the situation before a single word was spoken.
