The last black wolf pup slithered down in a curled position onto the messy bedded ground. Moss skidded up as one of the wolf pup's paws scraped the earth. The black and massive he-wolf, who was the father, dipped his head and looked at his newborns.
"They're amazing Violet." He licked his mate's cheek with pride.
"I agree Blackstorm, we shall now decide on names." Violet scanned her pups with interest glowing in her eyes. "The black she-wolf with hazel eyes should be Fenix." she barked.
"I love that name. For the gray he-wolf, Lupo. For the white she-wolf with blue eyes, Katie." Katie's white coat gleamed in the autumn sunlight.
"For the other white she-wolf with hazel eyes, Flower." Violet grabbed the purple flower crown saved for the sunlight pup of the litter, and put it on Flower's head.
"For the-" Blackstorm paused and gasped. The pup his eyes moved to was a golden he-wolf with a shiny golden glowing stomach. "For this pup, Goldenglow." Blackstorm's eyes sparked with amusement. "And for the last black she-wolf with blue eyes..." He searched his mind for names.
"Raven." Blackstorm and his mate barked at the same time. Violet laughed and licked Blackstorm's shoulder. Her black and white pelt was cleaner than ever with the amount of licking her ruffled fur to soothe her pain while delivering her puppies.

A few moons later, Raven has been training. She's a trainee mystical wolf. Her paws kicked up dirt and thundered as she pinned Suncloud, her mentor, to the ground. Raven battered her belly and leaned down dodging Suncloud's paw trying to push her muzzle out of the way. She bit down hard on Suncloud's neck until she heard a whimper escape. Suncloud whimpered and groaned as she turned Raven over. Raven jumped and backed away as fast as she could.
"You're so fast and strong, you'll make a great pack member." Suncloud praised. Raven felt her pelt get hot and flushed with embarrassment.
"Thanks but I think others could do better." she assured her mentor.
"Well to me you're amazing and you should believe in more of yourself Raven." Suncloud licked Raven's head affectionately.
"When will we train with powers and magic?" Raven asked.
"Tomorrow, but you deserve a good piece of prey and a rest!" Suncloud waved her tail goodbye and encouraged Raven to go get a bite to eat.

Raven ran over to the prey pile as her belly growled of hunger. Her cousin, Twinkle, was also picking out a piece of prey.
"Hey Raven, how was training?" she woofed.
"Good, Suncloud's teaching me the power and magic parts starting tomorrow!" Raven inhaled the amazing prey scent as she spoke, letting it bathe her tongue.
"That's awesome! Wind promised me the same." Raven smiled and grabbed a juicy lamb.
"Would you like to share?" she offered.
"Sure." Twinkle shrugged and nodded, padding over to the bramble patch with Raven behind her. Twinkle's brother Frostcrow ran over.
"Hey you both." he greeted.
"Hello." the two she-wolves replied in unison.
"Good training, eh?" Frostcrow grabbed a piece of the lamb smirking.
"That was ours!" Twinkle snarled loudly.
"I only took a piece, calm your tail! Or does it have too many itchy fleas?" Frostcrow snickered. Raven sighed and growled of annoyance.
"Lupo!" she howled. Her brother raced over wagging his tail.
"I hunted that actually!" he bursted out to his cousins. Twinkle quieted down and Frostcrow frowned. Raven snorted and nuzzled her family with affection.

Raven heard the den arena go silent so she decided to look up. Her father the alpha male, jumped up onto the alpha rock. Raven's fur bristled as she noticed fear and anger in her father's eyes. She looked down at her mother who was sitting by the rock, eyes clouded with regret and Raven could sense waves of embarrassment coming from her. She wondered why her mother would be embarrassed. Blackstorm howled, but he really didn't need to, the whole pack was already silently questioning the silence.
"Wolves of StormPack, FrostPack is coming." he yelped.
"What?!" Wind gasped. Blackstorm opened his mouth but no words came out as he stared blankly ahead, getting suddenly very angry. The alpha male of FrostPack, Duke, was charging into the den arena with what looked like his whole pack. Violet hid under the small roof of the alpha rock.
"Blackstorm!" Duke snarled, skidding to a halt while giving a nasty look to Wind.
"What do you want Duke?" Blackstorm lashed his tail angrily.
"I want my family." Duke slowly padded forward, the coldness growing stronger in his bark.
"You have no family here, ant-brain!" Blackstorm was standing on the edge of the alpha rock, puffing out his chest.
"You should know what I mean." Duke's eyes glanced from Violet, to Raven and her siblings and cousins.
"They aren't yours! Violet and you broke the wolf law by meeting in secret, that's why she's now my mate!" Blackstorm jumped down from the alpha rock, and got close to Duke's face.
"Well then, you play hard way." Duke growled. "FrostPack! Attack!" he howled. In the next few seconds, Raven found herself dangling from a FrostPack wolf's jaws.
"You can't separate me from my family!" Blackstorm snarled, fighting Duke. Raven squirmed and tried to escape, getting one last look at her mother who was trying to hide while crying. As she looked around, the two packs were in war and this was the first one she's ever seen and been in. Blood was spattering and she felt herself move fast as she looked down, she saw the FrostPack wolf's paws thundering forward, running away and back to the FrostPack den arena. Her siblings and cousins following in others jaws.
