His hurt over the situation emanated from him, making her anger grow exponentially. This was ridiculous; how could they all have been so dumb and easily led astray? That's what happens when the leader is a tyrannical asshole: you're left with a pack that can't think for themselves. And without their father there to keep Shila in check, she had taken advantage of the situation and become the terror they all knew she could be. She huffed angrily. Fuck them, she said bluntly. They don't deserve your loyalty. Her expression turned cold and murderous. Besides, Shila won't get away with this. Sia was probably already there now, and he would fix things. She would be angry with him for a long time, but she knew he wouldn't let the pack implode from stupidity. 

Then, her expression softened some as an idea suddenly came to her. Sia returned there just before you came here, and I'm sure he'll fix things, she started. You could return and reclaim your place there. Truthfully, she didn't want him to leave, but she knew this was tearing him apart, and she wouldn't selfishly ask him to stay if he had a chance to return and resume his life.
