Born while the moon and sun were both high in the sky, Seer knew Sunniva was destined for something great. They say that when Sunniva was born, she bathed in a warm glow and a cool shimmer at the same time, symbolizing that there may be a difficult choice for the pack soon.
When Sunniva finally became a full grown adult, she felt extremely pressured by the pack as she was next to lead. The pressure got to her and one night she ran away into the night. On her adventure, she met a male wolf from another pack that was out scouting. A heat of the moment decision was made and she found herself pregnant with the scout's pups. She realized there was no way to raise the pups on her own, but she was also unable to join the scouts pack. She made the trek back to her pack where she had to face the consequences of her decisions.
After Sunniva gave birth, the pack noticed that one pup looked significantly different from the others. Three of the pups looked similar to Sunniva, but one had a coat like the galaxy. And, as luck would have it, that one pup was seen by Seer first and determined to be the next heir. Due to Rowan's age, this sparked controversy as this pup was likely to be next on the throne. The other female pup was considered as heir, but as the pup grew she showed she did not want the throne. This furthered Seer's prophecy of which pup was destined for the title of Alpha.
Once Sunniva's pups weaned, she decided it was time to own up to her mistakes. After an extremely long apology, Sunrise agreed to perform the pairbonding ceremony. Though it would be many moons until Sunniva's next heat, Sunrise was excited to have pups he could properly call his (though he was enamored with Stardust and Sky).
