Phoenix Maplewood i'm not throwing away my shot

The way Reek puts him on the spot, as if he didn’t matter, made his skin crawl. He looks away from the dark alpha and smiles at the new wolf, giving her a slight nod of his head. She seems to be the capable sort and Ukko once thought himself the same but Reek blowing off the introduction so lazily makes him question whether or not he actually is a beta. Already to Saena, he is not, but Reek plays it as some sort of game.

“Nice to meet you,” he says offhandedly, looking back to the remains she’s put in the cache. A good hunter in their midst makes him feel a little better but he brushes it away from comment. His opinion wouldn’t impact it too much but she speaks of the wolf he met on the borders not too long ago. “I hope she’s settling in well,” he adds, realizing he hadn’t seen her since she’d taken her in. Perhaps soon he would find her and see how she’s settling in hopes she has done better than Esaro thus far.
