Meadow always had the power to see events in the future. It's a rare ability, and one he doesn't want to have on his own. Leaving his family was a hard choice, but they didn't want to learn. They saw his ability as a curse, to constantly be stuck between present and future with no way of telling which one you were currently experiencing. Those who join his pack have agreed to either learn the ability to see into the future, to hone it and use it for good, or those who want to support the wolves around them with this ability.
