Phoenix Maplewood we'll ride the coattails to the finish line

Well this has certainly been a thread!

The tirade Reek unleashed had been completely emotionally charged. The sentiment behind it was corrupted by Reek's new impression of Ukko; a potential usurper, and most of all, a threat to last shred of stability he had in his life. It was a disappointment really, and even though Reek wanted to make Ukko feel useless in this particular instant, he had proven himself a valuable asset to the pack time and time again. A particular asset that Reek at one point even considered worthy of beta-hood. The words he spouted may have had no factual merit, but their intention was only to hurt: to spread the misery he felt in his own heart.

From what he could tell, the aggression that Ukko demonstrated relented (bitterly, of course). His head lowered and the domineering posture of the subordinate changed. A weak whine passed though Ukko's lips. Reek took a step forward and allowed his gaze to dig into his subordinate's skull, full-bore. Staring at the exposed throat, Reek wondered if he should quell the threat here and now, but ultimately decided that Ukko was still a member of his family. With what Reek thought as an act of mercy, he did not reach out and thrash him about. No, he let him be.

"You disappoint me Ukko," he chided before turning away to leave. Scarlett needed constant care and Reek was more than apt to spend his time with a pack mate who was grateful of the services he provided. Sauntering off into the forest, he left his subordinate behind to think about the consequences of what he had done.
