SunValley was a small, yet swiftly growing pack located in Eastern Canada. The pack's Alphas Raziel and Kijani set out an an early age to make a name for themselves, with the aid of their beta pair; Kalyna and Kaiser. The first spring both pairs produced litters. The alphas baring a son Ezekiel and daughter; Temperance. The betas larger litter contained four- Elune, Arsene, Arayan and Elodie. This brought the packs to ten and rapidly grew with the addition of other nomad wolves.
The pack was very strict. Shenanigans were hardly tolerated and the pups were expected to obey without question and were groomed to one day take their parents ranks. They were exposed to endless hours of teachings regarding pack politics, hunting, ect and were given little independence due to their parents constant hovering. Some took to the training like fish to water- namely Elune and Arayan. Despite the puppy pack being as close as they were at birth; the other four tapered away as they had significantly less emotional investment in their parents plans for them.
Despite the tedious studies they endured, Arsene, Kazekeil, Elodie and Temperance always found time for their own games. They often talked of running away from SunValley and starting a pack of their own. Sene and Ren would often playfully compete for alphaship while the others were content to follow. Their games were often cut short though, the strict pack rules did not permit rough housing and playing as it was seen as a waste of time. As the pups reached and surpassed their first birthdays, the Alphas attempted to seclude Temperance and Kazekiel from the others but with little success. The Alpha female frequently scolded her pups for their friendships, stating that their fraternizing with the opposite gendered pup was inappropriate but her disfavor fell on deaf ears.
As the pups neared their second birthday the reason for the Alphas insistent nagging about keeping their pups from spending too much time with the others became apparent. The pack had vastly outgrown the territory it had originally adapted as their own. As such they began negotiations with neighboring packs in an attempt to expand their lands. Finally, a bargain was struck.
One neighboring pack - The Sweetwinds - Agreed that they would share the fertile hunting grounds that bordered the territory, if SunValley would provide a suitable court for their eldest son Alizium. By their joining - the packs could eventually become one and the territory shared by all. SunValley's alphas agreed and offered their daughter Temperance. SweetWinds accepted and the deal had been made. The alphas returned home and informed their daughter of her task.
Temperance was hardly one to be told what to do and refused. Raziel lashed out at her daughter, demanding that she obey. When Temperance vehemently refused and announced she would rather leave the pack than be bartered away her Father Kijani tackled her, intent on forcing her compliance. Without hesitation both her brother Kazekiel and her friend Arsene came to stand between the Alpha and his daughter. Elodie snuck to Temperance's side and got her to her paws before Raziel could have a go at her. Together, the four stood in opposition of the leaders. Kaylna and Kiser pleaded with their pups to stand down but to no avail. Enraged, Kijani exciled the four of them from SunValley for good and ordered the rest of the pack to run them out of the territory.
The small group fled for their lives.
Shaken by the events but now free of the expectations and imposing views of their parents.
They look to the future.
