Big Salmon Lake Wishes come true, not free

It really spoke of a change of character that Dante was not more concerned. He was not the same wolf who had stressed completely out over Atticus' disappearance. It had taken some time, but he had grown to know that there were things he could not control. He would do his best to lead, but he could not keep all happy. Many had left, disappearing into the ether, and though he was sad about that fact there was only so much he could do.

"You are probably right." He couldn't understand a father's hopes, but likely it was similar to his own regarding his siblings. The love of family kind of required a hope for happiness.

"You will be the first to know should we hear word though. That I can promise." Junior was no longer one of his, so keeping things for her from her father was no longer a concern of his. Perry deserved to know.

Koda's situation was... difficult at best, and honestly Dante wasn't much in the mood to discuss it with the other leader, knowing that Peregrine likely had opinions on what should be done. He had decided that, unless it was a real issue, Saena could handle herself. He was obviously the only one in the pack who felt that way, and Dante didn't feel right punishing him for an opinion. Unless he acted on his feelings and refused to cow to leadership, he'd let it go. He was no tyrant.

"She's kept an eye on her, yes. As have I. But once Saena decides to keep going, there's really no stopping her." He would have much rather had her stick closer to home, but he couldn't very well force her. She was smart enough, he hoped, to know her limits. "As far as Koda goes, Blue made it clear to her he is alone in his opinion."
