She allowed Clarke and the Sky People into the Coalition to help defeat Mount Weather. She wouldn't give up all the work she had done unifying the 12 Clans in order to "help" Clarke...and she didn't. Hence the reason she took the deal with MW.

I still disagree. She was ready to follow Clarke into battle against the MM until the deal was offered to her. Before that, Lexa didn't try to betray Clarke. Lexa was ready to take down Mount Weather until the deal was offered to her. If she wanted to keep her alliance with the 12 Clans, she could have easily offered the deal to the MM instead of the other way around or betrayed Clarke before the deal, and she did nether.

Also, Lexa basically would have just ruined her Coalition anyway. The MM and Grounders would have been at peace with each other, meaning they would no longer be a threat to the Clans. If the common enemy was gone, then what's the point of continuing the Coalition?
