Phoenix Maplewood Forward, the Light Brigade!

To see the pack band together was a beautiful thing for Reek whom had always viewed the Maplewood as no less than a tight knit family. Together, they would rise as a powerful force as they had in the past, time and time again. There was a consensus toward action among the crowd, causing Reek to well with pride in the same way his mate mate had, that is, until Esaro opened his dumb mouth to speak.    

Reek seethed at his dissenting opinion, but ultimately remained silent (apart from a low warning growl) as he waited for Saena to unleash hell upon him. But, hell never came and Reek felt a tad surprised. Sure, he was rebuked, but the ragged alpha still felt it wasn't enough. He desired penance, but still, he held his tongue and listned to what his wife had to say. His opinion of Esaro, however, had been soiled and if he continued to dig himself into the pit of Reek's vindictive nature, he may never find his way out.

Saena's final revelation gave Reek rise. While there was no way to tell if his seed had taken root, he was unwilling to take any chances endagering his mate and future family.  Perhaps, if he hadn't known Saena and her headstrong nature as well as he did, he would have put his paw down and said firmly, no.  But, he knew her all too well. Once set on something, the skewbald beauty would never back down, and Reek knew she would never back down.  Now was not the time to fight or argue about it. He shot her a reluctant glance, as if to say; please don't, before stepping forward to join the war party.
