The Lone Wolf's Howl

A long time ago, at the beginning of the Shadow pack's existence, before the first alpha past, he left a prophecy, one that every wolf in the pack would learn. "When pups born on a blood moon, two female, one male, a great danger will arise. Greed destroys all in its path, but love is strongest of all, the greed will not survive, but the carrier of love will face many challenges, many dangers, born black as midnight with a paw of snow white." A groan was heard from the alpha's den. The female alpha was in labor. The medicine wolf was running to and from hers and the alpha den. Another groan was heard. The medicine wolf now prepared for the delivery of the alpha pups, to say what pup was born first, what pup would become the next alpha. "Ok alpha, get ready" a contraction made the alpha groan, "push" the medicine wolf tells her. A little white female pup was born. She was the first born. The medicine wolf quickly cleaned the pup and got ready to help with the next pup. Another contraction "push" a groan came from the alpha again. This time a dark brown male pup was born. "Ok alpha, almost done, one more...and push!" This time a pure black pup with a white paw was born. As the last born, she would be treated the worst out of the litter, her survival was unlikely. As the medicine wolf cleaned the tiny female the alpha moved the other two pups to where they could suckle more easily, and as soon as the tiny pup was cleaned she too was placed to where she would be able to suckle. "Which one was first born," the alpha female asked. "The white one was born first, a female, the second was the dark brown, a male, and the tiny black and white one is a female," the medicine wolf replied. The alpha nodded and the medicine wolf left to her den. As the new mother gazed down upon her pups she said, "The white one will be known as Winter, the brown one known as Talik, and the black and white one will be Midnight," "so those are their names huh? The tiny black won't survive, Holly, so why even care for it?" Her mate asked rudely. "Because, I believe all of them will survive, they will bring something new to the pack, I don't know what but I just know that they will all survive," she says softly before falling asleep. Her mate gazed down at her, his look softened as he watched her and his new pups. "Your mate is right you know? Those pups will be important to the pack, the black will survive, thrive even" the medicine wolf said as she walked in behind her alpha, sat down and watched the new pups nurse with the new father.
