Cypress

After being outcasted by his birth family after an, *ahem*, less than desirable incident, Cypress was left wandering alone without protection from the elements for weeks. After meeting his closest companion, Shiloh, they were able to find shelter and take other wolves in like themselves.

Cypress was later heartbroken on the discovery of Shiloh’s betrayal, who had been plotting against him for his place as King of the Realm. Upon confrontation, Shiloh challenged Cypress to the death for the crown and was forced to outcast him.
