Blacktail Deer Plateau On the borders

"Strength," he answered promptly, "and a tightly-knit core. Even with the Alpha pair dissolving, we haven't faltered. In fact, I'd say we're stronger than ever before. Individually, the plateau's wolves are powerful. Together, as a team, we are indomitable." Peregrine paused thoughtfully. "Even with others moving in close to our territory, we don't bother worrying about them as we are fiercer than any competition. We will kill them directly if they come too close and indirectly by dominating the local resources."

He went silent for a few beats, then continued, "We also have a bright future. I'm not sure about the other packs—I don't concern myself with them much—but we have four strong, healthy pups here. One day, one if them will rule in my stead, I'm sure. I'm very proud of them."
