"Is it better to be feared or loved?" -Niccolo Machiavelli
It was now night time, the bright life preserving sun had now departed for cold moon to take it's place. As the wolves of Jasper sleep soundly in the night, one couple in the west lie awake in their den arguing.
"Humphrey! I can't believe you!" A golden tan female yelled angrily at her mate, stomping her foot down in the den.
"What the hell did I do this time!?" The male known as Humphrey responded with the same amount of anger.
"The way you were talking to those girls earlier today! You were totally flirting with them you son of a bitch!" She accused angrily.
"What the fuck are you talking about Kate!? I wasn't flirting with them!" Humphrey argued in defense.
"Yeah, you fucking were! The way you were looking at them and laughing and how you were talking..." Kate continued on and on.
It has been like this for months. Kate and Humphrey got married over a year ago and they were happy together, the happiest couple in the pack, couldn't get off of each other. But now they always argue and argue about meaningless things most of the time, plus they're never happy to see each other anymore. Some wolves have discussed it with them and have suggested they end it, but they always said that they love each other too much to do that.
About another hour of arguing.
"Humphrey, you just piss me off so much some times!" Kate said in fury.
"And you think you;re the only one who's upset!? I have to deal with you finding a reason to argue every time I see you! I'm fucking sick of it! You know maybe they were right, maybe we should just end it!" Humphrey yelled in her face.
Kate was instantly shocked at what he said.
"Humphrey... what are you saying?" she asked in a sad soft voice.
"That maybe... we should just... maybe we should just fucking break up!" Humphrey yelled out, loud enough for everyone outside to hear.
Tears immediately formed in her soft amber eyes, her face was now filled with complete udder sadness as she ran out of the den leaving a trail of tears behind her. Humphrey was in shock of what he said, he didn't know he was capable to get those words out. He ran out of the den calling after his love, but his plan was backfired when she tackled him to the ground.
"Get away from me! I never want to see you again!" She yelled angrily with tears in her eyes.
"But Kate I didn't..." Humphrey tried to say seeing her fury.
"NO! Leave now and if I ever see you again... I'll fucking kill you!" She said as she got up and ran to her parents den.
Humphrey lied on the ground for a second, unable to comprehend the current situation. But when he saw Kate reach her parents den, he soon got to his feet and started running, some wolves poking their heads out of their dens to see the scene unfold. None bothered to follow him though... they didn't know why they didn't.
Humphrey continued running and didn't stop for as long as he could, he knew staying would be suicide. When he was sure they wouldn't follow him, he stopped for a bit to rest. He couldn't believe what just happened, he had lost the love of his life because of a few words he never thought he could even say. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't, he couldn't cry over the wolf he loved, but also hated as well. The tears just simply were not there.
As Humphrey panted, sitting down next to a rock thinking, he was struck in the back of the head. No sound emitted from his throat as he was hit, just a clean knock out as he fell to the floor.
"Well lookey here, one of them fucking westerners" His attacker snarled with a smirk.
"Yeah, wonder what he's doing out of his pack though" One of them said as he snorted the gross snot coming out of his nose.
"Who the fuck cares? We got ourselves a little buddy now" The attacker basically mounted over top of Humphrey and stared down at him smirking.
The other two chuckled with hilarity and eagerness, jumping up and down a bit excitedly. Soon, a silver and white furred female wolf pushed her way between the two dimwitted punks and rolled her eyes at the scene.
"The hell are you sick fucks doing?" She asked in minor disgust.
"We just found this little shit running around dangerous woods. We, being the sophisticated and polite gentlemen that we are, have decided to help his stupid ass before hurts himself" The confident male with the dick on Humphrey's ass replied smirking.
The other two chuckled and the female scoffed as her eyes rolled once more.
"Get your dirty ass off of that poor little guy, besides, we're supposed to take all intruders on our territory back to Cain" The female explained.
"Aww, come on Blaze!" He begged chuckling.
She sighed as her eyes rolled and hung her head, then a small chuckle emitted from her throat and looked back at him.
"Make it quick pup" Blaze chuckled as she walked by him, patting her paw on his head.
They chuckled and got down to 'business' as she walked off into the woods, her face then turning to seriousness as she muttered under her breath... "Dumadia"
Wolveranism - The dominate religious belief among all wolves of the world, it is the practice of worshiping the wolf gods Lupus and Luna. Lupus being represented by the sun and Luna by the moon. It is the main religion in the west, east, and south.
Sayrianism - Another wolven religion that takes the place as another one of the most worshiped, focusing on the one main wolf god; Sayrian.
Disciples of Luna - Also called "Luna's Children", the disciples broke away from Wolveranism decades ago, believing that Luna is the true Queen and Goddess of all wolves, and not her "mate", Lupus. They are generally not accepted into most wolven societies, especially the Southern Pack, but they are tolerated in the west and east.
Religion plays a somewhat important part in the lives of all wolves, depending on their geographical location. The North is considered for the most part "non-religious" due to the majority of their populace identifying as atheist or non-religious. It's just not a factor to them, it's considered meaningless and unnecessary. But some do hold onto their old ancient spiritual animistic beliefs, back when the North actually had a form of religion.
However, the south is practically controlled by their Sayrian beliefs, punishing all non believers and wolves who commit acts or live lifestyles that are against Sayrian's laws and teachings.
There are more religions out there, which you will see as you read on, but these are the main ones you must know for now.
