Apex predator 

Wolf surrounded by her new pack. She's been free for a while now, built this group from outcasts and strays who had nowhere else to go. Now they move as one. The raids on human settlements started with small targets first, testing tactics, building momentum toward something bigger: The village. The villagers don't know she's coming yet. Neither do the city folk who tried to domesticate her. But they will, soon enough. 

Her new pack follows because she's strong. Because she wins. Because following her means claiming territory and feeling powerful. They don't need to understand the revenge part. Not that they could anyway. All that matters is that they follow her command.
