Nestled in the majestic Himalayas, the Hemis forests are a blend of untamed nature and pristine wilderness. Tall pine trees dominated the region and were covered in blanket of glistening snow for most part of the year.
A myriad of wildlife, including Hangul,Tahr and the notable, elusive snow leopard lived in the region.
Both the forests and the pack were named after the Hemis River, tributary of the mighty Indus. Unknown to all, the once famous pack hid itself from the werewolf world.
Unlike the Duns, and the other packs, the Hemis always had history of peace.
They were influenced from the Buddhist tradition. Even few Gompas knew about their identity. But this nonviolent behaviour unfortunately was seen as cowardice. As you see, werewolf's equate aggression with fortitude and their neighbours from China actually saw them as bunch of idiots.The peace treaty was violated and Xian pack attacked them on a mundane night. The Alpha managed to save pack's children and few elder members but most warriors of the pack, including women died in war.
The werewolf world banished Xian pack and cut all ties with them. Rumours are that the war was due to Xian's Alpha's desire to get a second mate. As his first one died.
The exact cause remained unknown to the outsiders and only few elders knew the reason.
Priyal, and her Betas did not knew the reason. After all, she was crowned Alpha just few months back. But since she was Alpha (and Luna), the pack did had healthy pups, although most were born in last one or two years when most members turned 18.
The present Gompa in monastary knew about the pack and it's reality. The pack sheltered itself on the edge of forests and buddhist tribes in the region.
They sheltered themselves from the outside wolves by masking their scent. Another secret not known by many. They used lichens from the region to prepare their secret concoction and merged with human population where even other wolves won't ever recognise them!
