Wrong.

Levistah was born into a litter of three. His mother was a beautiful white and tan wolf named Andra, whereas his father was a leucistic male by the name of Nodesto. Both of them had just been exiled from Gambera, a pack out in the deserted plains of Temuj. Where other pups were protected by their parents however, Levi and his two sisters experienced their parents' constant fighting from the days their little ears and eyes opened. They did not care to hide the rough disputes from their children, until eventually Andra left not only her mate, but her pups behind as soon as they were weaned.

Life with no other than his father to raise them was harsh. Not only was food scarce, but whenever he got back without successful kills, frustration would change him into a violent creature of teeth and claws. Sometimes they would manage to ease him with overly submissive demeanor, praising him as a measure of self-defense and having him fall asleep before he would take out his moods on them, but not always did these techniques protect them from his force. In the beginning the three siblings did not quite realize what happened, but with weeks passing they got more aware of the situation they were left in. They did not dare talking with one another about it though, as they felt vulnerable and unwilling to betray their father. 

However, things would soon enough take an alarming turn, when the day after the pups had turned eight weeks old, Nodesto was out to scavenge the rough terrain for food once again. It was rather surprising no predator had gotten to his pups up to this point, but with them being left on their own day by day, it was only a matter of time. Sadly, this time had come now; Levi had suggested to play tag during the wait, so they did. He had always been the one to make the calls in regards of what to play or do. Even when either of his sisters needed a cuddle, he was the one to provide such without them having to voice their needs. 
The foreign scent creeping through the air as well as the shadow circling the rocky plains remained unnoticed until it was too late. Only when their sister suddenly screamed in terror, Levistah and Deminaj realized something was about to happen. Levi did not turn around quickly enough to grasp more than a flash of brown feathers, before a sharp pain ripped through his chest and he was lifted into the air. Either from reflex or just because he wanted the pain to stop, his little puppy teeth dug into one of the bony claws holding him. A violent avian screech followed, as he was drooped to the ground a few feet beneath him. Regardless of the numbing fear and pulsing pain, Levi managed to stumble into their den's opening before the massive bird could attack him a second time. The following scream of his sister Mideira jolted through him more painful than the gaping wound to his flank though and he instantly regretted his choice. Suddenly he knew: Today was gonna be the last time he would have ever seen her hopeful smile.

Before he could get his body to move, he lost consciousness and only awakened when the sun had set. The silence was frightening. The injured pup did not dare to move from his hideout, even though he so desperately wanted to know if his sisters were still out there. He felt cold, weak and confused. Maybe it was just a bad dream? The first and miserably failed attempt to get up reminded him of just how real every bit of the terror was though. If he just waited until his father would return, maybe everything would turn out alright. Yes. Everything would turn out alright.

The next thing Levi remembers is the swaying motion of being carried by the scruff. Weak yelps and pathetic whimpers signaled the life returning to his little body. Strange smells flooded his senses and even by the mere feel of it, he knew it was not his father carrying him. Neither was it the predator from earlier though, so who was it? A wolf named Kolya, as he would learn very soon. A large white wolf, who looked just way too similar to Nodesto. No matter how alike their appearance would lead to believe they were, their personalities differed vastly. Not a single time did Kolya treat Levi with violence, even if the pup made mistakes or said something careless. No, he simply guided him to do better next time, which introduced an entirely new lifestyle to the pup. A life in a pack. A life in Vale.
