She was surprised to hear Chusi's name spill forth from  his rgged lips, and she felt her jaw tighten in immediate irritation. Demoting both Chusi and her paramour had primarily been her decision and while Constantine had supported her choice wholly and completely, she took sole responsibility for shaming the new mother into her place as Omega. "No," she answered calmly, a sharp edge to her tone as she looked at the gargoyle pointedly, "banishing her would've been extreme. Killing her newborns would've been extreme. She was a newcomer to my pack when she mated without permission, so I would not consider the bottom of the hierarchy to be extreme when she and her babes got to live."

She rumbled then, her tail lashing the air in a cat-like manner she felt the guard hairs of her nape threaten to stand on edge. Only recently had Durnehviir chosen to free Chusi from her belittling title, though she did not share this information with Mahler; let him figure that out on his own. He moved onto the topic of Wylla, whose departure had affected the russet Alpha and still felt raw, and she exhaled heavily through her nares. "Her reasons were her own," Durnehviir stated firmly, still clearly irked by her subordinate's accusation that her treatment of Chusi was unfair, "though if you must know, she felt the need to seek her family elsewhere." Truthfully, she was curious as to why he had not been informed by the former Gamma herself, for Durnehviir knew that the ashen guardian had come from Wylla's coast.
