Aura woke one day in total darkness with no memory of who
she was or where she came from. She didn’t know how long she was there but she couldn’t
see or smell anything until suddenly a cold, wet nose pushed against her fur.
Suddenly, shapes and colors started spreading across her vision. She turned to
see a large black wolf with red markings. Their eyes met and for a moment they
just stared at each other. “I am called Axel” the wolf growled. After another
moment of silence, Axel touched his nose to her nose and one memory came to her
mind. “I-I’m called Aura” Axel smiled a wolfy smile, “I have been here a long
while and at last I have someone to be my companion”
As they roamed the forest they met other wolves who traveled
with them for short times, usually to carry pups to term and raise them but
they all eventually left. After some time, they decided to start a real pack of
their own. They still allowed others to stay with them for short periods as
long as they helped with the hunting and scouting required to keep the pack
running. And soon after that the alphas first litter, Blot, and Blitz were born. Aura
took great pride in raising her daughters and spent most of her time with Axel watching
over them. When these pups were barely weaned Aura and Axel decided to adopt a puppy, that their pups fell in love with and treated as if she was another littermate, as their own. After confirming with the pup's mother that she didn't want the pup, as most of their traveling companions didn't, they took the pup in and called her ______.
