Loam
Lore
0 months: Born to Snicker and an unknown father. Raised by her mother and her two close friends, Badger and Kiyo.
1 years: A liaison with one of the pack's scouts, older wolf Honey, results in a pregnancy. Huss is very anxious, but surprisingly, the flirtatious and often-travelling sire spends a lot of time hanging around the Nursery, keeping her company and bringing her anything she needs.
1 years, 2 months: The pups arrive, and Honey's presence doesn't fade like Huss had expected. The two raise their pups jointly, beginning a romantic relationship in the process.
2 years, 10 months: Honey is now 7 years old, but still appears fit and healthy. Any mention of retirement is laughed away, which Huss finds immensely reassuring. Honey continues to go out scouting, and Huss becomes pregnant with his pups for the third time.
2 year, 11 months: While Huss is midway through her pregnancy, her mate's old age suddenly gets the better of him, and he passes away in his sleep. Huss becomes terribly depressed; she oscillates between sequestering herself away in a quiet corner, and working hard on hunts to take her mind off her loss.
While hunting, she develops a small wound that she half-heartedly licks clean; within days it becomes infected, but Huss, so wrapped up in grief, doesn't notice the discomfort.
