P L O T

The East River Pack was once a large and prosperous Pack. For many centuries, they lived beside the small Coastal Town of Kensington Cove. Kensington Cove was a small, seaside town with cliffs and ocean bordering three sides, while thick forest bordered the fourth. It was a small, peaceful town. The type of town where everyone knew everyone and, for the most part, got along. The East River Pack was a peaceful one. They didn't hunt the humans like others of their kind. Instead, they co-existed with them peacefully. They integrated themselves into the human world seamlessly. Their children attended human schools, had human friends, played on human sports teams. They lived apart, of course. Their small village in the middle of the forest afforded them the privacy required to keep their species a secret. But for the most part, the pack acted as human as possible for, well, nonhumans. The Alpha of the East River Pack, Jonathan Lawrence, firmly believed that if the humans learned to love us, for us, we would be in less danger if they were ever to find out what we were. But he took it too far. He fell in love with a human; a forbidden act that might have been overlooked... if the human woman hadn't given birth to a child. A daughter. The child was a hybrid; a mutt. Half wolf, half human. The pack wanted nothing to do with her, but Jonathan couldn't bear to allow his daughter to be raised by humans and so he stole her from her mother and stopped visiting the little town where she lived. In the heart of the pack, he raised the child as a Werewolf. The child was never intended to become Alpha. Jonathan planned on eventually taking on another mate and having an heir long before his time on earth expired. He never did get that chance. A strange illness took over the pack and before they even knew what hit them, 90% of the pack was dead. Including their beloved Alpha. As the sole heir, Jonathan's daughter ascended the throne as the new Alpha of East River. But can this pack of wolves bring themselves to band together behind an Alpha who can't even turn into a wolf?

About the Ranks

Alpha; The Alpha is the Leader of the Pack; their word is law. Typically the Alpha is the eldest
male of the previous Alpha's children. On rare occasions, if the Alpha does not have a son, they
will be succeeded by their daughter but this is very rare and often frowned upon.

Beta; The Beta is the Second in Command of the Pack. In the event an Alpha dies without an heir,
the Beta would ascend to Alpha. Likewise, if the Alpha is away, the Beta takes the role of acting
Alpha until they return.

Captain of the Guard/Guards; Due to their importance in the pack, the Guard are a small, elite
group made up of some of the strongest wolves in the pack. It is their job to protect the Alpha
no matter what the cost. The Captain of the Guard is usually the strongest of the group; it is a
position given based on skill rather than age and it is considered a great honor to hold this title.

Healer/Healer Apprentice; These are the most spiritual wolves in the pack. It is said they can
speak to our ancestors for guidance. The Healer has an expansive knowledge of herbs and their
many uses. They can create intricate poultices and potions and salves to help heal wounds and
cure illnesses. The Healer's Apprentice is a specially chosen wolf, selected as a pup, to learn
the trade and eventually become the Healer's successor. These wolves are highly respected and
even have the right to boss the Alpha and Beta around with proper incentive.

Lead Fighter/Fighters; The Fighters are the Warriors of the Pack. They fight tooth and nail to
keep their packmates safe and protected. They are extremely skilled fighters, and the best are
known to have ben promoted up to Guards. The Lead Fighter is the best out of this group, though
still not quite skilled enough to advance to Guard Level. They lead the fighters and help the Alpha
and Beta with battle strategies if needed.

Lead Hunter/Hunters; These wolves are some of the smartest, fastest wolves in the pack. They are
built more for speed than strength, but don't discount them just yet. They use their intelligence and
quick wit to bring down large prey animals such as Caribou and Moose. The Lead Hunter is undoubtedly
the fastest [maybe even the smartest] wolf in the pack. He or she leads Hunts that sometimes take days
or even weeks to complete. These wolves are known for having excellent stamina and patience.

Omegas; These Wolves are the lowest in the pack. They don't have any particular skills. They typically
have equal levels of strength, intelligence, and speed though none of them are particularly high levels.
Usually they are an easy going bunch who like to joke around and goof off. They are great at diffusing
tension.
