Zekee Uzakï

**Zekee Uzakï** is a character on *Wolf's Bane.* He débuts on the sixth episode/part of the first season/chapter. He's one of the protagonists.

### Personality

Zekee is a kind, calm, charming, laid back, mature, protective, smart, modest and gentle young wolf. In his early years he appeared slightly immature and narcissistic, which resulted in a lot of conflicts. But despite them, Zekee truly felt bad if he had caused distress, or something similar, to someone, even if it may not have seemed like the case to others. As he aged, he started to take accountability for his actions, and make up for them.

### Appearance

Zekee has a bright sand brown pelt with black "sleeves" on front legs. His eyes are yellow. Even being a crossbreed, he resembles a valley wolf the most, just like his father. He has long legs, a longer tail, a mane and a short, soft fur.

## History

### Birth & Childhood

Zekee was born to Anuk and Layla in the Eastern pack. He has two brothers and is the oldest of the three pups. He was the closest to their father but had a good relationship with their mother as well. But after the incident that was caused by his mother by abandoning them, Zekee was very confused and angry about it. But the more time passed, the more he showed no interest towards what happened.

### Kaia arc.

Zekee found himself to be quite popular among the females, having many admirers —taking the role of a seducer. But because of this, he had many rivals and haters. He got into many fights just for talking to some female. He met Kaia when she moved into the pack. He first treated her a little poorly — mainly just because Kaia didn't fall for his charms, just like the other females. This made him confused and annoyed. So he annoyed her but at the same time tried to woo her. As much as he tried, he always failed. At some point Zekee came into realization that his actions caused more harm, coming into a decision to leave her be. However, he came to notice how he couldn’t get Kaia out of his mind. He was confused about it but couldn’t deny it either. And so, he tried to get close to Kaia by apologizing and acting more fair towards her. Kaia didn't trust him, and Zekee understood this, giving her room.

While trying to fix the relation between him and Kaia, he took the time to apologize for his behavior from every female he had been in intercourse with.

One time when Zekee was out hunting for himself, he had come upon Kaia, who was hunting as well. Zekee decided to keep his distance, not to disturb her. But out of nowhere Kaia was running towards him. Kaia pushed Zekee, which made Zekee confused and slightly defensive. Then, it was revealed that had Kaia not pushed him, a tree would have fallen on Zekee, crushing him. Zekee then apologized and thanked Kaia for saving him, also surprised that she was willing to risk her life for someone like him. Kaia only rolled her eyes, commenting how she may dislike him but doesn't wish death for him, and then brushed it aside. While both floundered for a moment, then rallied themselves again, the latter locked eyes and couldn’t look away, Kaia mostly out of confusion. Zekee then cleared his throat to get out of the trance while blushing. Zekee decided to go back to the pack, but Kaia stayed to hunt for food, going in separate ways.

Kaia eventually decided to give Zekee a chance. As more time passed by, the more Zekee and Kaia spent time together getting to know each other better. Zekee was surprised that under Kaia's harsh skin was actually a very kind individual and Kaia was surprised to see the compassionate version of Zekee instead of the one she was introduced to. When the two had to get back to their respective homes, they planned to see one another the next time. But when that next time came, Kaia was nowhere to be seen. Zekee, confused, tried to look for her and at the same time hoped that she hadn't started to regret. As Zekee finally found Kaia, he noticed how his brother, Alek, was with her. The two wolves were shouting at each other. Alek tried to take her by force while Kaia tried to reason with him. Zekee immediately intervened, protecting Kaia and threatening Alek. The two brothers started fighting but the fight was cut short after Nimueh and Anuk appeared. After the fight, Zekee checked on Kaia, making sure she was all right. He then suddenly confessed his feelings for her, admitted that the timing wasn't the best. Kaia giggled and groomed Zekee, confessing her feelings for him. The pair then were declared to be betrothed.

### Alek's betrayal & The war

Zekee was present during Alek's declaration. He was attending the pack's meeting along with his father and younger brother. Zekee, as well as everyone else, was in complete shock but he wasn't as surprised as his father and brother were. Deep inside Zekee knew Alek was able to do something like that as he had noticed his change and how he was more hostile than ever before. And as much as he wanted to believe that Alek could be saved, he knew that was an impossible task.

During Kireg's assault Zekee was fighting alongside other wolves.

When Alek decided to attack the pack, Zekee was once again fighting alongside others. Unfortunately the attack was more aggressive and Zekee became weaker much quicker, and thus got injured a lot easier; he was forced to retreat and get treated.

#### Zekee vs. Alek

When the fight was coming to its end, Alek and the white wolf decided to show up in a "final boss" - style. Alek wanted to fight against their father but Zekee decided to take their fathers place instead. Alek taunted Zekee and tried to break him, but Zekee was able to resist and attacked Alek. While being on him, Zekee told Alek how everyone believes him to be able to change back but he knew it was not possible anymore. Alek just gave Zekee a smirk and bit him. Alek got himself freed and attacked Zekee and threw him against a stonewall. Zekee gasped for air and was surprised as well as horrified of how strong Alek had become. The two brothers now turned to enemies continued fighting for a while. Alek showed signs of victory, due to him getting strength of his anger and hatred but also of Zekee's yet to be healed injuries from the previous fights, which gave him the upper hand.

Zekee saw no way of the fight coming to its end, except one. He turned to his father who looked at Zekee with an alarmed yet perceived look. He then turned to look at Alek once more, who looked at him with the most bloodthirsty look, which was something that made Zekee not recognize his brother any longer. Alek then charged at Zekee, ready to end him. Zekee shed tears while charging at him as well. As the twosome came face to face, they quickly passed one another, landing on the opposite sites — their backs facing each other. Of the two, only seconds later, it was Alek to be the one to collapse. It was revealed that Zekee had sliced Alek's throat open, causing him to start bleeding heavily, and die from it. Zekee was overpowered by guilt but was reassured by Anuk that there was no other way. Indeed, this was the measure that was the absolute.

### Healing

Sometime after the final battle and the fight that happened between him and Alek, Zekee suffered from nightmares and re-living, as well as from emotional out breaks. Zekee was aware of his family being worried about him, but he wanted to heal on his own terms — refusing their help.

#### Kaia's ascension

While Zekee was still healing from his trauma, he along with the rest of the pack were preparing for Kaia's ascend to the position of a leader. While it was made possible for Zekee, he still rejected the offer of becoming a leader alongside Kaia. Everyone were confused of this decision but came to accept it nonetheless.

### Meeting the Máivian Order

At some point Zekee had abandoned his position as the ambassador of wolves and dogs. He felt it didn't fit for him, but rather it was meant for his brother, Matt. This decision would prove to be the right call, since later his father came to Zekee to inform him about the offer from the leaders of the Western pack.
