Azrael

Azrael yawns as he blinks his eyes open to see his mother nudging him. He lays there for a minute before groggily pulling himself to his feet. He shuffles after his mother as she leads him out of the den.

She pulls him over and sets him beside two grown wolves. One nods and with a sad look in her eyes she leaves. Azrael tries to stumble after her but before he can he feels teeth around his neck as he's scooped up by the other wolf. Some words are said and Azrael squirms as the wolf carries him away from the pack.

Azrael is praised when he enters camp after accompanying his mentor on a hunt and bringing down a bull elk. A crowd gathers and everyone is super excited and chatty until a voice rings out. The group quiets and spreads apart as the head wolf makes their way through along with a stranger. Azrael instantly gets a weird feeling about the new wolf and hesitates as the two approach him. "Azrael." His leader says, "pack your things, you shall leave this pack and accompany this wolf here now."
Anger rises in Azrael at the thought of being sold. He huffs as he backs away a snarl rising in his throat. "Seriously? Trading me off?" The lead wolf gives him a stern look before motioning towards Azrael's den. "Now." Azrael huffs again before shoving past. "Fine. I don't need this stupid pack anyways."

When Azrael reaches his den he grabs his supplies. He glances out the entrance to the den and when he is sure they aren't watching sneaks off into the nearby brush. He runs as fast as he can once he's out of sight only stopping at a creek to roll in mud. With his scent covered he continues on his journey.

After a two months he is tired and starving. He's still an adolescent and can't hunt alone. All he's caught is a few rabbits here and there. As he lays in a clearing trying to rest from exhaustion he hears a sound. He jumps up and spins around to find a stranger standing nearby. They're marked up similar to him and he stares at them trying to figure out if he should run. The wolf sits and motions for him to settle down.

"Child. Do not worry. I do not seek to harm you, young one. Simply enjoying a walk. You seem mighty tired though and frail. Would you like to accompany me to my pack? My leader always loves to invite those who need a place to stay."

Azrael agrees and follows the wolf who introduces herself Cloud.

Cupid, the lead wolf, agrees automatically with the idea of letting Azrael join. He tells him he to was once lost and the former leader helped him as well. The two bond and Azrael finds himself looking up to Cupid and learning new skills.

After a while Cupid grows to old to lead the pack and having no heirs calls upon Azrael.
