You what? she asked, exasperated back to where she had been upon the brink of Sagtannet's end. This time, she would not leave, not even if he told her to, because this time, she wasn't here for him. She could be reviled by every wolf in Rivenwood for all she cared, and she still would not leave, because she was here for her beautiful, clever, competent daughter, who deserved more than her mother's selfishness.

She had been here for him, too, but realized now she could not be. Not when he would do this to her again.

I have made every effort here! That was gonna be for us, y'know, I wanted to do something nice, maybe a little, I-I-I don't fucking know! Guess it doesn't matter now! She jabbed her sharp snout toward the duck, collapsed now on the ground, a mess of muddy feathers. It was worth nothing now, just like all the effort she'd made.

You can't for one second give me the benefit of the doubt. Not once. I don't know why I thought you ever would. So say whatever else you have to say, because you won't get another chance for a while. Wylla glowered at him. She made the decision that second, impromptu, that she would take Phaedra to the sea on a trip, take some time from here. That should give Mahler time to instate Sequoia anyway without Wylla underfoot, since she had no interest leading with him. Not again, not when he still viewed her this way. The outcome was obvious.

No saying whether her daughter would even agree to go. If she didn't, she'd go herself. She would return, but she couldn't stand the sight of him right now, allowing the claim of one hussy to turn him against her again.
