Prologue (written from August 30th to August 31st, 2022)

April 7th, 2009

It was a chilling night. Somewhere inside the Western Pack territory, a she-wolf was running. Behind her, a wall of howls washed through the forest, growing louder and louder with every second. There was a flash of lightning, but the storm could not be more than a nuisance. She was an elderly wolf who had seen enough battle.

Soon the wolves chasing her were getting close. They had caught her scent and were in hot pursuit. For a moment she took refuge in a bush, but it was a refuge she could not use for long. There was someone else already there, a white pup. And not just any white pup but her own. The elderly she-wolf sped through her goodbyes and left. The pup was now all alone while the howls raced through her vicinity. All the pup could do was stay hidden. Flashes of lightning continued, but the pup could not see them. It was the shaking of the ground she felt as well as the shaking of the air. If one were to see this pup in the bush, they would be scared away by its eyes, which now seemed to glow in the darkness like two faint stars.
