Cedar Waxwing

Cedar was a loyal member of the Mossy Hollow pack, he did his duties as a hunter, he was the best stalker in the pack.
He had one surviving son with his mate Nectarine, Canyon was a quiet wolf but he took after his mother who was an incredible chaser.

Nectarine died during a hunt, she was thrown off of a cliff by an elk. She was too confident, she had always been able to dodge but perhaps this day she was tired or the elk was particularly capable, they had backed the elk up to the edge of a cliff and her mistake cost her life. Cedar couldn't do anything to save her.
He moved to the elders den after losing her, stepping back from hunting and instead helping to teach the younger wolves, he had been with Nectarine for almost his entire life and losing her tore him apart.

A female wolf was found on the edge of their territory with no pack of her own, a wanderer, Singing Sparrow. She was looking for a place to stay, hunting on her own wasn't easy, so Cub let her stay at least temporarily.
She was coarse, she had been on quite a few adventures in her life and she told her tales with rough language and laughter. Cedar noticed she sought him out, sitting next to him, laughing harder at his jokes than any of the other wolves, grooming him or finding other excuses to touch him.
Without realizing it he leaned into her touches, groomed her back, brought prey over to her to share.
