Maxka and Pahka left old Sen's Pack, with Opequon in tow. What Maxka didn't know is that she was pregnant with Sen's brother's pups, (Dioute's uncle Ecah). Giving her and Pahka's share to Opequon affected her pregnancy and when she arrived in Wapiti Run, she gave birth too early. Only one pup survived, which she named Opanke.
