Blacktail Deer Plateau My shadow falls against the wall

By some undetermined method, Saena learned of her aunt's plight. When first she heard about it, the dappled female was shocked and disbelieving. It didn't seem like something Osprey was capable of, even being the completely irresponsible wolf that Saena thought she was. Yet surely the woman was capable of it, and Saena felt fury over that build up in her chest until she was convinced it was her that Osprey had scorned. She wasn't the Alpha female she wanted to be, but she had spoken with Osprey about that desire, and felt her anger was justified even when it wasn't.

When she stumbled upon the silver Redleaf-DiSarinno, therefore, it was all she could do not to vent her frustration with a physical reprimand. This was what her rank challenge sought to prevent, and Osprey had done it anyway, and now her pregnancy threatened Blue Willow's children. Even as Saena prowled closer to Osprey, she decided that not one scrap of meat that she had contributed to the pack would go to the Gamma or her puppies.

Still, before declaring any of this, the Gamekeeper stopped nearby and said, "are they Dante's?" She thought she already knew based on what she'd learned, but it was a dangerous assumption to make. She had to be sure before making Osprey feel like shit that the puppies did not belong to the pack's leadership in any way.
