Wilder, Scythe, Bathsheva, and Shamshir were born during Bazi and Scimitar's stint as alphas of Everwinter Ridge - the product of a confusing one night stand between parents falling into an old pattern. They spent their first two months in a small family pack, which doubled in size when Scimitar departed for Teekon Wilds and left Bazi to rule alone. Strangers and siblings came and went, and their mother took numerous lovers - never another mate.

The pack moved to Khepri Moors before Bathsheva and Scythe were old enough to make any real memories. Their early lives were filled with noise, bustle, and drama as Bazi established her rule. The pups were loved and punished in equal measure - the girls more so than the boys.

Bathsheva and Scythe departed with their mother's blessings, following Scimitar, Allure, Pasha, and Whittier back to the Teekon Wilds.
