Koru and Cayenne Pepper are mates, but Cayenne Pepper is a scout and not a very loyal wolf apparently, because during his stay one scouting expedition, he had an affair with Kaia from Shimmerstone Overlook's camp. This affair gave the scout his daughter Bell Pepper, and made Koru jealous. So, Koru had her own affair with Ysgramor Of Atmora. The two are raising the illegitimate pups together as if they are Cayenne Pepper's, as Zoey the lead wolf had deemed a proper consequence for the feuding pair bonded wolves. They may choose to disband after all their offspring have disbanded and no sooner, per the lead wolf's judgement. They may however have relations with other wolves than each other, so long as their current offspring needing care do not suffer for it.
