This is why Bro didn't even try to make pack with Deck - it would be the worst thing he could do them. 'Here, let me drag you into my corner of useless-and-potentially-dangerous so that every other wolf you ever meet is going to say you'd only get to join the pack as omega. This sounds like a wonderfully caring display of brotherly love.' Dave and Dirk weren't aware of just how bad the leg is -

(gah, I need to rewrite this scene there's so much I missed out like 'Bro's wolf doesn't accept a name any more because he doesn't feel like he's worthy of one' and 'Dave and Dirk are actually Bro's sons but he's got commitment issues like whoa and felt he could do better as an older brother than as a father' and 'Bro was born a Lalonde and chose the surname Strider when he went to the bachelor pack because it sounded more badass'.)

- but now that they're around other wolves every day it's more of an intentional denial - 'There's no way Bro is some kind of cripple!'

It'll be interesting if Rose ever gets to have her meeting with Bro.
