Natalya had hoped to avoid any conflict with her neighbor until later on. She had hoped, but hopes meant little it seemed. Helios entered just behind his wife and attacked immediately to take the stranger for their own. The Matriarch was glad for it. There were a couple reasons she hadn't lashed out herself, one reason only two other wolves alive knew and the other was a secret to she and her husband alone. She was far too weak. She couldn't hold her own hunting a rabbit now, let alone battling another wolf. She strove not to show it, but it seemed some part would have to come out.

Cataleya apologized for her trespassing, but it lacked any sincerity. Natalya would have excused it though, had it not been for the threat to her husband. She turned her stoic expression on the woman and spoke in a low voice. "Cataleya, you have no right to dictate any wolf's place on our lands. Do not threaten my husband while you are a trespasser. Find your slaves somewhere else." Odds were, she would be met with a challenge from the bitch, and she was in no mood for it. Here she was, back to hoping when she knew doing so was hopeless.
