North Star was born to a respected huntress, Smoldering Ash, who was one of the founders of the Sky Wheel Pack. Despite birthing many litters there, North was the first and last to stay with his kin. He was hardly ambitious in his youth, preferring to chase butterflies than listen to old stories of his mother's many endeavors in serving her pack.
One day, he had strayed a bit further than he should have when his eyes fell on a pure white wolf, whose pale pink optics burned into his own. Terrified the wolf was a ghost from one of Ash's stories, come to punish the disobedient pup, he ran as fast and hard as his short legs could carry him. Gasping and shaking, he called for his mother and barreled into her when she came into view. Whimpers of terror tumbled from his maw as he told Ash what he had seen, only to be met with a tail wagging in amusement. This was North's first encounter with his future mate.
Once his initial fear had passed, North became very interested in the albino adolescent. He tried following him about often, asking invasive and uncomfortable questions about his unique appearance. No amount of scolding or rebukes stopped the curious pup.
