It ain't good enough to try and not succeed

Ragnar wanted power - that much was clear, yet the extent of this desire was still obscure to Pump. He was her rival by nature, they might have had very different backgrounds, yet they both strived for the top ranks in the pack, otherwise they felt miserable and useless. Now that she had become a leader and got comfortable being in the queen's shoes, she understood herself better too, her past-self and why she had done and said things she had. Ragnar was more straightforward in that aspect, he knew his own character better.

The sole reason, why she had denied the white beast to get, what he wanted was the fear of him turning against her, once he climbed in the ranks high enough. She didn't have that much confidence then. If a challenge would occur, she would definitely lose, yet recently she had come to a bit life-changing conclusion that she wasn't alone in the world anymore. Gavriil had promissed to stand by her side, so had Thistle and many others. They trusted her and from that trust she gained strength.

Major changes in your life happen, when you get out of your comfort zone and take the risk. It may or may not work out well, but regardless of the outcome you are a winner, because you gain an experience you wouldn't have otherwise. Therefore she felt a little excitement now that she stood before yet another challenge in her life, which would bring the matters to an entirely new level.

However, before revealing her intentions, she decided that it was better to talk more, because there were a lot of things she still didn't know about Ragnar. His God, for example. The ultimate alpha wolf. "What does your God want you to do?" she asked him with respect for his beliefs.
