Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels - missing scene
I shook my head, focused on Raphael's anguished face, and tried to put the situation in terms he would understand.
"You're thinking about this the wrong way - hey, fine, don't make that face, I mean that you're thinking of this like Andrea betrayed the Pack and that's not what this is. You have to remember that she hasn't been a part of any pack in years and when she was, it wasn't the great experience you've had. For you, pack is safety. It's family, and support, and pride. It gives you a cause, something to fight for and protect. And the Order is just that group of people who treat you like shit, who look at you like you're less than human, who hurt you and steal from you. That state of affairs is just fact for you, but you have to see that for Andrea it's the exact opposite - in her experience, pack means abuse of every kind from every angle. It means being treated like an animal to be put down, being disrespected and isolated. For Andrea, the Order wasn't the enemy, it was salvation, it was everything pack was supposed to be for her, so doesn't it make sense that it would have her loyalty in the way your pack has yours? Of course when she's forced to make the choice she chooses her family, her support, the only good she's ever known, the only respect she's ever had. Can you tell me that if you got a call for help from the Order and your alpha told you not to help unless you were willing to leave your pack behind - betray your family, lose your support and respect - tell me what you would choose, Raphael."
