Amaris came form an unexpected place, a forbidden one. The runt in the omega's litter, lower than dirt in some's eyes, the illegitimate daughter of the omega and the lead hunter. two wolves who were never meant to fall in love. Her mother knew there would be backlash, and begged her mate to hide her away, a den of their own just outside their camp and it worked for a while, long enough for a safe delivery, but not much longer than that. the Alpha's were furious when she was discovered, threatening death for the pups and mother, more mouths to feed, not something they could put up with for a lowly lawbreaker.
Her father lost in his fight for dominance with the Alpha, but protected his mate and young. the alpha pair knew they couldn't afford to lose such a valuable hunter with winter coming soon, so reluctantly, they offered him a deal, he could keep his other two pups, but his mate and that runt, had to go.
He was outraged of course, but Amaris's mother convinced him to take it, to give himself and their other pups a better life, a better chance. They vowed to meet again someday, to find each other, no matter what.
It turned out Amaris had her father's talent for hunting and surviving, his confidence. And raised with her mother's unending love, she became an independent reliable wolf, with a lot of love in her heart.
she knew of her mother and fathers unfortunate story, and vowed to start a pack of her own, one where everyone would be loved and protected, where any wolf could be safe to love and start families unrestricted and with the support of a pack. Tutam et Adiuvisti , "safe and helped"
