The dire wolf selected her den, hoping that no wolf in the MacNamara Clan would notice her pup once it was born. The pup came, bearing the yellow pelt with some black colored paws, the color of her pelt. She licked off the sac he came in, revealing his shiny pelt. The pup, a wolfdog, sniffed to find his mother's teats, and suckled.
The she-wolf smiled, but she knew that it was forbidden for a dog to mate with a wolf in the Beyond. Dogs were rare, thought to be extinct. But some wolves had found two mates cycles ago. She had to become a lone wolf, before they hunted her down. She did not know why the wolves hated these dogs so much. And her clan already killed her mate. But what about her pup? She could not leave him. The she-wolf had to take him with her. She decided to name her pup Ched. Stupid, but somehow, it works.
Soon, the byrrgis came, hunting down Danna, the she-wolf. They quickly found her den, and the group leader spoke out in a soft voice, "Danna, I believe you mated with that mutt?"
"Y-yes..."
"Well, do know, that it is forbidden for a wolf to mate with a dog.."
Danna shivered. "You're... going to kill me...?"
"Yes.."
"No! I don't deserve this! The dogs don't deserve that abuse!" Danna howled. She ran, but was not as fast as normal she-wolves. One female caught her, biting at her neck. Danna squealed, trying to squirm out of the she-wolf's grasp. After a while, Danna dropped to the ground in an instant, dead. The she-wolf, Ashia, glanced at blood puddle, then at Ched. "We cannot leave this pup here..."
The group leader nodded. "But we must ask..."
"I know." Obviously not knowing of his name, she called the pup "Arcell".
