It was hard for her to face this. She knew she had to go. The moment she heard her son's challenging howl she knew she had to be there. This was her worst fear realized. For practically as long as she had been alive there had been a conflict between her blood family and the family that she had married into. It had been a crazy dream for her to believe that they could continue to live as they had been, completely in peace. She knew Bacchus probably didn't have malicious intent behind his challenge, but all the same she hated that the wolves that she had come to respect and love so dearly were being put through this.

She finally forced herself to make her way to the battlefield and when she arrived she was surprised by the large gathering of wolves that had arrived. She hesitated for a moment near the edges, but once her gaze landed on her son and then her tearful wife she could feel her heart breaking. She quietly made her way to Amalia's side and sat opposite her mother in law, the both of them sitting by her like bookends. She forced her gaze to meet Bacchus's and she could only stare. No words could leave her mouth. This isn't what she wanted. She did not want to see her son or her brother in law hurt. The father of her daughters hurt. She never truly thought of him that way, she only saw herself and Amalia as Diana and Jayne's parents, but that's what he was.

Even so, there was a part of her deep down that was proud in the most sickening way possible. She remembered a time when she was an alpha herself and she had hoped that one day her sons would take her place and continue the legacy that her father had laid out for them. That dream had died long, long ago and she had accepted that as fact. In a way seeing her son strong and waiting for his first pack challenge made her proud, but she would have been truly proud and excited for him if it wasn't a challenge for Leo. If it wasn't a challenge that would disrupt the way of life for a half of her family. For her daughters. She swallowed hard and looked away, leaning down to press her nose to Ama's cheek.
