Phoenix Maplewood Don't forget that I'm human

She listened as patiently as possible, wincing now and again when his teeth caught a tangle in her fur, but the anger rising in her caused her to quiver before long. Had she been in good health, she would've risen and marched right to Ukko and kicked his sorry ass right that instant, but she was hardly able to keep her feet for more than a few minutes without sagging. Soon. Within a few days, maybe. Until then, Reek would have to bear the brunt of her anger as she vented to him.

"That son of a bitch," she swore. "He better not. I'll fuckin' kill him if he so much as tries it." Ordinarily it would've been a joke, but Saena's ordeal had changed her, and she was dead serious this time. If Ukko sought to disturb what she and Reek had made here in the maplewood, she would attempt to put him down. She hadn't survived the blaze at Redtail Rise, hadn't endured seeing her beloved home burn to the ground and hadn't worked her ass, and Reek his, for some pompous little upstart to take away everything she and her mate had worked for.

"What of him now?" she asked, half hoping Reek had refused to allow him to remain in the good graces of the pack. She would've seen Ukko at the bottom of the ranks for his behaviour, especially now that she was so jaded, but her mate had always been a bit of a softer individual.
