Ghoul was but a lost soul, born to rogues and left to find her own home when she reached a full year. She hadn't been the only one to leave, a wolf named Smoke went with her. He had been her best friend since pup-hood, and the two of them fell in love over time. They found a territory, abandoned by its old caretakers, and settled down.
It didn't start off easy, wolves from various places kept invading and attempting to take the land they had, the prey, and even their lives. Luckily, they had both been raised to protect and defend and had more reason to do so than when they had first arrived. They had pups on the way.
Everything went fine, and they even found some stray wolves looking for a sanctuary, although some left shortly after joining.
