Really, Mulberry is only the leader of the pack in theory. With Buckeye being the responsible one staking out their territory and handling all the diplomacy, and Mockernut being the one with the most experience in this thing and helping with the organization, Mulberry's really only the pretty face and charisma of the ordeal. He's not entirely sure what he's doing here, but it's his pack, and they have to listen. He's trying his best, after all. And maybe some wolves don't think his best is THE best, but that's their problem. His pack wouldn't say that about him.
