Altega doesn't remember another pack, nor the scent of his mother. He only thanks Ulv he is alive, as he treads ground looking for a place to live.
He knows not about hunting, eating leftovers with the coyotes and ravens. He knows little of shelter, hiding in rootbeds, caves and abandoned dens where he can find them.
With his splayed paw and a feeling he is meant for greatness, he moves foreward on, until one day...he stumbles upon another wolf.
