Blacktail Deer Plateau for you did murder kate mccannon

"We did." Rue returned, brow knitting. Blacktail Deer Plateau were not wolves to simply roll over and allow others to take what was theirs. "There were just too many," Rue added, tone verging on defensive. 

After a short, tense moment, she let out a sigh and allowed her walls to come down a bit. Blacktail Deer Plateau was gone, what could it really hurt? "We had just lost several of our best mercenaries. They parted from us to create their own pack, and we couldn't hold down this territory without them. We had built caches and claimed territory for a large pack, and without our warriors.. we were not such a pack."  Rue's regret for the events she described was written all over her face.
