Kintla Flatlands This woman is my destiny

She both agreed and disagreed with what Luke next said. On one hand, she was a living example of how holding on to destructive thoughts of her past could lead to trouble, but on the other hand, she wasn't ready to forgive her father for abandoning his family for a new one even if his abandonment had made her who she was. Not yet.

"Maybe," Saena half-heartedly agreed. She didn't believe she would have grown up a spoiled brat even if Peregrine had stayed at the plateau. The Redleaf-DiSarinno had never been one to spoil his children, although Junior had been his definite, obvious favourite. There were wolves at the plateau even now that believed Saena and her siblings already were spoiled brats simply for acting out when their entire world flipped upside down, too, so even if she hadn't been raised spoiled, it was all about perception in the end. Maybe Peregrine staying would have turned her into a more civilized wolf at an earlier age, or maybe she would've retained childishness and been less civilized now. It was impossible to even guess.

"It's just hard to forgive," Saena finally said. "You make it sound easy to leave the past behind, but he traded us for his new mate. It's hard to handle even now. It's hard to forget that." She still not-so-secretly blamed Fox for all of it, and not-so-secretly despised her, but she kept that from Luke. It made her sound petty and childish and she knew it.
