There was a time when I thought I was doing a good thing with good guys for a good cause. Looking back, I think I really wanted to be a warrior. ↗

When he’d started out, he’d expected to find his brother. What he’d never thought to find was the treasure that slept beside him now. Would you trade this to have Kieran back? It was a choice he was grateful he didn’t have to make. But in the end, he knew the truth. Catarina was his life. He would sacrifice anything for her. Anyone. ↗

As a rogue, he slaughtered, Runningwind. Then before we knew what he was up too, he had made himself leader of ShadowClan. ↗
