Nova Peak Until I found a bruise on the other side

The placed he described sounded like a perfect place to raise a family and lead a pack; she wondered if things might have been different for him and Wylla had they settled there instead of here. The thought was dashed away quickly—she had seen how set he was in his plans last year. It was one of the reasons they had fought and she had left. Besides, his decisions had been made long before they moved anywhere. 

He seemed embarrassed to have spoken so much of this place he clearly loved, but he didn't need to be. She had missed these kinds of conversations with Mahler. She was quiet a moment before speaking again. Why did we not move Sagtannet there, then? she asked. If he was so fond of the place, why had they settled here. Not that she minded being here, but if the bypass was where he really wanted to be, why not move the pack there when they had to move anyway.
