Blacktail Deer Plateau The hardest was losing you

We can fade this since you're putting Junior aside!

It seemed only natural that Junior, being the most assertive of her siblings in most cases as well as the strongest with the exception of the absent Pura, be the pack's heir. Though at times Saena entertained the notion of what leading would be like, she suspected the only way she'd ever know would be to disperse from this pack. She didn't consider herself in the running for eventual leader.

"Suits you best," she said matter-of-factly. "It doesn't suit Ty and Pura isn't even here, and I'd rather it be you than me." She almost went on to point out that she was too immature to be a leader, but the promise of a secret made her shut her mouth and lean forward.

"Shut. Up." Saena said with a huge, teasing grin. She herself had seemingly no interest in boys, so to know Junior viewed Dante that way was not vicariously exciting, but also perfect. "Oh, you have to tell him! It's like, meant to be! You're the obvious choice for heir and Dante's the Alpha now, so you'd share the rank anyway!" Saena barely contained herself enough to keep from pouncing on Junior in a fit of giggles. Now she'd have to be Alpha! Of course, it didn't really occur to her that Dante might not return Junior's feelings—she felt it was much too perfect for that nonsense.
