In Need Of Guidance

Grace listened to Shreya's words, anger rising and growing increasingly anxious. There were things she needed to clarify, other things were new information, but she surely would let the older female finish before even considering to speak. When her time came, she didn't even open her muzzle. She weighed the new information heavily before injecting what she knew, clarifying. She'd forgotten about the chunk of beaver between her paws.
"I understand the dominance, but he was not alpha at the time. I also understand the importance of obeying your alpha."
She didn't add that she would not respect Luke, nor follow him, only Saena. She KNEW that was a no-no, and had no wishes to discuss such things.
"Nova isn't really from anywhere, she traveled all her life. I suppose she might not understand how the borders are guarded since that depends on the alpha, but I KNOW she understands their purpose because she explained them to me. I think she sees it more important to focus on the wolf, not the imaginary line."
The red yearling paused frequently, allowing Shreya to comment but really just gathering her words.
"As for me, I actually showed submission. I merely said she wasn't a threat, nothing more. I can't accept that any packmate would turn on the other, regardless of rank. We're supposed to be a family, are we not? SUPPORT each other, as Saena said. I would have accepted Luke's decision had he made a rational one!"
She took a deep breath, feeling herself getting worked up. She wanted to show Shreya that she was thinking, not just being offended because it was her mother. She was attempting to see it from Saena's point of view, because she refused to even try to get in Luke's mindset. It clarified a little bit, but some things were still impossible for her to understand. At least she was putting a good amount of effort into it.
"I see, Shreya, but I don't understand it all. "
