The Sentinels resolve and resolution

To some, violence was a necessary evil. To others, it was not even an evil. Some wolves treated their fellows the way they treated their prey, with immediate aggression, but Lucani's preferred type of wolf was one who put civility first. Diplomacy, tact and courtesy were the necessities in her mind, and violence a last resort. It was why she had taken to Donnelaith so swiftly; and perhaps why she'd been accepted.

She knew with a surge of affection for Deirdre that her words were very true: she couldn't hurt anyone, or at least could not display malicious intent. There's no shame in fearing violence — it's a frightening thing. The ability to fight is in our blood, much like our instinct to hunt, but I truly believe you can protect Donnelaith with your words and care.
