After a long bachelor year spent in the forest under the protection of the large deciduous trees, Maple decided it was time to search for a more permanent home. He was led by a strange, moonless black wolf to a clearing. It was a tepid night- the kind just before Autumn came when Summer was just releasing its fangs from the earth. There, he met Birch. An interesting southern-born wolf who was looking for the same thing he was.
Together, they recruited more lone wolves and began their family together. When Autumn swept through the forest on swift paws, Maple's first pups were born. Two daughters- likely the start of many more pups to come for the two pack leads.
