Welcome to Gaia! ::

The story: Adamu’s fall and shadow’s take over.

It is said that many years ago, when Shadow's father ran the pack- that something awful happened. Upon the birth of Shadow and Hood his mate, Aofie fell ill with a dark sickness and was unable to leave her den. Out of anger and rage at the gods for putting his lover in such a state Shadow’s father, Adamu left the pack in search of a cure.

He left without any regards to the rules set in the pack many years before.

Shadow had always seen the rules as something that had to be followed, no matter what the circumstance. He hated the fact that his father went against him, after all- all of his life all Adamu talked about was following the pack's code; well here his father was, breaking it and bending it to his will.

Out of anger Shadow took over the pack and made everyone forget his father's act of pure heartache and for many years things seemed fine, until one day Adamu returned.

By this time his mate had already passed on but he was unaware of this, he had been gone for so long after all, he couldn’t have known. Upon his return he wasn’t welcomed back as a hero nor was he called the alpha anymore. He was forced to the darkest part of the woods to speak with the new alpha, his eldest son, Shadow.

Adamu felt his heart strings tug when Shadow told him of Aofie's death and how she died alone because he wasn’t there with her like he needed to be. Full of sorrow both males began to fight, and in the end Shadow came out victorious, defeating his father and putting him to shame.

Shadow felt no regret or sorry for Adamu, he didn't care how hurt he was. Someone needed to be the alpha, someone strong.

He allowed Adamu to stay within his pack, so long as he stayed out of Shadow’s way.

Today Hood and Shadow don’t talk to Adamu at all, and a for the most part Shadow acts like the male doesn't even exist. He simply lets him stay in memory of his mother’s dying wish.

Hood is said to have been the favorite of the litter and for this reason alone Shadow keeps him close, fearing a take over someday by his weaker brother Shadow has made it his life’s duty to make sure that never happens.
