Moonspear who can blame him

He was grateful that Alya indirectly told him it was her by saying Hydra and Lyra were off doing something else. When they were younger they'd often trick him but he found that these days they were usually honest about their identities. Charon nodded as Alya said she wanted to ask him a question, silently giving the go-ahead on that.

A lot of his history made total sense to him and he had never thought of telling his children. But at her question he realised there was so much they didn't know. Maybe they didn't have to know all of it, either, but this was something important. "The former Alphas, Peregrine and Fox, had a daughter, Dhole, who lives in some other pack these days." Suddenly he realised this 'other pack' may be Drageda, as he hadn't realised why they had beef with the Woods before. "She used to be a part of Moonspear and Uncle Floki's mate. Everything was great 'til one day something shit happened to her outside of the pack. Floki was great about it, tried to help her and heal her, and we looked for the shithead who did it, but she was somehow convinced she needed to leave Moonspear for it. She was one of my best friends and she just left like that, forever." It wasn't really the start of the shit hitting the fan, but it was definitely something that'd played a role for Charon personally in distrusting the Redhawks.

"Then there was a famine, not long before your mother got pregnant with you. Almost all the animals were gone because the grass had died." He left out some minor details like the locusts, as it'd only trigger further questions and worry, he imagined. "We found a sheep on the mountainside not far from Moonspear. We were hunting it with the pack, but Peregrine and Fox showed up. Peregrine divebombed the sheep from a ledge and a couple of our wolves nearly died as they were hit by the sheep falling off the side of the mountain. That's when I knew for sure they were absolute shits." He waited to see if there were more questions.
