It was a witch's tantrum.
It started out from a letter sent by no other than Leland himself. The Blood River Pack was withdrawing their alliance with the coven and finally arrived in the Gazi Desert, it was only sent via a hawk.
The letter was still amicable. The Alpha 'kindly' informed them that Isolde was exiled from the pack. Thus, he said didn't want to trust in the coven who had strong ties with a rogue lycan.
It was all for safety purposes, the letter informed them. It was not offensive in any way. Prompt. Maybe a bit brutal. Perhaps, it was a terrible thing to say, but Leland didn't want to start a war with the witches.
While Sophie was still sick and suffering, the Alpha didn't want to expend any effort in making new enemies because he wanted to focus on sustaining his wife's health. So, it was still a respectful letter to inform of the changes in circumstances.
