Ashes of a War

As a pup, Ash was often neglected and disliked by his mother, and grew up as a hated, outcasted loner. He was an adventurous, playful pup although his mother completely ruined his attitude, causing him to be very ignorant and selfish.

Once he was an adolescent, Ash began to sneak away from his home territory to escape from his awful mother, even if it was for a short while. During this time, he taught himself how to catch prey, escape pursuers and more little things. His mother, fortunately, never found out about this. Whilst sneaking out one night, he met another wolf, his age almost. Ash had rarely seen other wolves, so immediately went to greet her. They instantly clicked and began to meet up next to a waterfall every night. Her name was Silver. These meetings went on for a while, and Ash started to gain feeling for her, but the two gradually fell apart as they grew up and began taking on their own duties.

Now a fully grown wolf, Ash had enough. One night, he simply bounded off through the forest, passing through multiple territories, before entering an unfamiliar forest. It just felt right there. He began to establish his own territory and feel like a successful wolf. Although, one shadowy evening, Ash began to hear footsteps behind him, which after an awkward encounter, turned out to be Silver. She'd followed his scent for days, weeks even, wishing to be with him again. After some time of discussion and contemplation, they decided their future. The two were going to establish their own pack, and so they did.
