Blacktail Deer Plateau The trouble with the world

Saēna shook her head. "I don't think that refusing the offer would put us on bad terms," she said sagely. "I just think we need to separate ourselves from them." Namely Fox. Something about the plateau being associated with a pack of deserters with the greediest Alpha Saēna had ever (not) known was concerning. She wanted nothing to do with it and was insistent on making it known.

"Besides, she isn't likely to act like we're sister packs. When I saw her there she totally ignored me 'til I said something and then she acted like I was a huge waste of her time." She bit her lip, trying to come up with the best way to convince Dante that cutting ties with Fox (and Peregrine, unfortunately) was the better option. "She only cares about herself. Maybe dad would honour the arrangement but... well, she has dad by the balls, if you didn't notice, and you know she won't honour it and won't help us if ever we need it." And he will do whatever she says, she thought grimly.
