The Past

Before The Lost, Alpha was taken away from her family and put into a cage. Soon another dog was put into the cage along with Alpha. The two dogs became quick friends and he explained that his name was Damian. For a while they stayed together, living well, until humans started making them train. They were both forced to run on treadmills and were chocked with collars. Then the human cut Damian's ears and tail short.

Afterwards Alpha and Damian were introduced to other dogs to fight. With no choice, Alpha fought, but Damian didn't. Damian didn't want to fight or hurt anyone. The Humans decided to give Damian a lesson by taking him away at night and beating him with a bat. After that Damian changed forever. Damian stopped talking to Alpha and started fighting mercilessly. The dogs they fought was merely training, as they were now being taken to real fights to become champions.

Alpha and Damian both fought hard, winning multiple times. At some point during the matches again the dogs, the two once friends were to fight each other. The two dogs fought each other, Damian attacking first. Alpha pinned Damian onto the ground. Damian yelled for Alpha to kill him, but Alpha spared him. Damian was taken out of the fight, and was to be put down for being defeated. But Damian wasn't going to let the humans kill him.

### Part 2

Damian attacked and killed the humans who were going to kill him. Damian walked into the room where all the dogs were kenneled, showing what he had done. Some of the dogs were shocked as others cheered for the human's defeat. Damian set all of the dogs free and gained respect from everyone. The group of dogs became a pack on the streets, with Damian being their leader and Brutus being second in command. This was the beginning of The North.

The North afterwards became a worse and worse pack to be in. Damian tricked strays into joining his pack, promising a good life. Damian started to abuse his power too. He made all the members of the pack hunt and patrol as he didn't do a thing. Damian and Brutus would always eat first, and the pack would eat leftovers and rotting food. This lasted until one dog broke one of the rule.

Jenny hid an extra bit of food for herself. Jenny was the mother of a pup and need the food to feed him, but Damian realized what she did. Damian and Brutus killed Jenny, making her pup, Forest, an orphan. They did it to intimidate the other pack members and teach them a lesson. Alpha had taken the pup under her care and raised him. Ever since that day, Alpha knew that Damian wasn't a fit leader. Alpha gathered members of the pack and planned to abandon him and Brutus, so they could never live under his rule.

### Part 3

Just when they were planning to leave, The Lost virus started to spread. The Lost were dangerous, too dangerous for a dog. All the dogs who were planning to escape were now trapped with Damian, since it would be death to The Lost if they left. Humans also started leave, forcing the pack to learn to hunt, but food was still scarce. Dogs started to starve and turning into The Lost, but Damian still did nothing.

Damian started to turn more into the men that had raised them. He told his pack that they couldn't be weak and that if anyone showed weakness they would be killed immediately, which a lost of members supported. The pack stayed obedient and didn't challenge what what he said.

Forest, the pup Alpha was raising, was learning to hunt, but couldn't do it. He returned multiple times from hunts with nothing. Damian had had enough of it and decided to deed him as weak and tried to kill him. Before Damian could lay a claw on him, Alpha attacked, slamming him into the ground. Brutus can run from behind her to attack, but Alpha grabbed him with her jaws, slamming him into a stone wall. Damian taunts Alpha saying that she should have snapped a long time ago. Alpha shuts him up, chopping him on the back.

Alpha turned to the pack and announced that she was leaving and that anyone could come with her. A few dogs went with her, making the pack, Rust.

Alpha is done telling her past. She tells Cal that what happened to her parents prove that The North still exists. She tells Cal that it's getting late and that she should head to bed. Alpha also tells Cal that she wants her on morning patrol. Forest and Cal leave Alpha.
