The Threat and Pride

If the Hermit Pack wanted anything to do with her- if they wanted her to take part in that Wolf Swap Rite again, and take away the rest of her wolf- Ellie would never let that happen. Not again. She didn’t care if they do anything to hurt her, or even how far they go about in doing it. Yes, she wanted to see her blood family again, question them why she was left in the middle of the woods for these Hermit mutts to pick up and use, but if the price of seeing them again is to lose every last bit of herself as a werewolf, she refused to let that happen. Rather, she’d sooner die than lose what was left of herself.

That was what she had resolved herself for… But William? He who has nothing to do with their conflict? While she did consider the possibility that they may use his life to force her into doing their bidding, given how Steve was solely focused on her, she quickly toss the idea out of the window, thinking that the Beta still had some pride left to not resort to such a tactic.
