That's correct for most wolf packs, and certainly for ours,  he said, looking pointedly at her for a moment before relaxing again. How much a wolf demands is up to the wolf him/herself. I try not to demand overt submission in most cases unless a wolf is getting out of hand. We're a family here, and most of the time, we're relaxed around each other, he explained. 

You're right in that rank deserves respect, no matter what, he added. I've placed you all in the ranks you are for a reason, and whether you agree with that or not is irrelevant, unless you have some information that will change things. He paused, waiting to see if she would add something there. He did want her side of the story, after all. 

Your knowledge of respecting the ranks is pretty good, he said, before turning his gaze fully onto her. So, why aren't you doing that? he asked her straight up. He felt he had beat around the bush enough, and it almost irritated him that she had enough knowledge of pack life to understand what she was doing was wrong. He almost wished she was ignorant. At least then he would feel it wasn't entirely her fault.
