Saena seemed implacable. Reggie considered showing her belly to appease the inexplicably angry she-wolf, though fear stayed her. If she exposed her underside to the wolf, what would stop her from tearing Regipre open with her teeth? The pup wanted to show submission, yet she didn't want to lose her life.

The Alpha female sniped at her, demanding a name. "Reggie," she said both quickly and quietly. She wished she could ask Saena why she hated her so much or what she could do to make the situation better. But the whelp held her tongue, breathing shallowly and fighting the urge to scratch as she waited to see what the she-wolf would say or do next.
