Lightning Pack

* Icon
* Current Alpha

**Lightning Pack** is a group of wolves that live in a forest that is primarily deciduous woodland that includes a part of the pine forest. Their founding alpha, Lightning Cloud, got her name from how she followed her father Thunder Leap, as well as her quick fighting skills resembling how lightning strikes. By extension due to her being the founding alpha, the name was thought to be given to the pack.

## Territory

Lightning Pack's territory is located in the forest. Landmarks in this territory include:

* Den Site - It lies in a clearing that dips into the earth, surrounded by trees and overgrowth and is well protected by the side of a cliff. The clearing is easy to defend and challenging to ambush due to the surrounding overgrowth. This is also where the pack mainly lives and functions.
* **The River** -

## Eras

### Lightning Cloud

Lightning Cloud's reign is the start of Lightning Pack's era. Her beta was White Mist, and her healer was Bramble Fur.

Lightning Cloud initially joins the group when it first forms as River Pack along with several other wolves due to her wanting to be in the forest and away from the wolves in Tundra Pack due to there being little shelter. During this time she is proven to be a smart and independent wolf, potentially worthy of leadership, but she doesn't stop to help any wolf outside of River Pack. When the wolves decide to split up again, Lightning Cloud decides she still wants to be in the forest by the river, she is very quickly chosen to be leader of the new pack and it's soon renamed Lightning Pack in her honor.

During her time as alpha, tension rises between the packs due to setting new boundaries as well as a group of mavericks who have recently been spotted in the forest near the mountains of Winter Pack's territory. She often confronts wolves for crossing her borders and is one of the first wolves to agree to attempt to chase out the mavericks, leading to hostilities between many wolves.

### Branch Tooth

Branch Tooth was alpha sometime after Storm Leap and Kestrel Dawn. His betas were Amber Fang and Arctic Wind, and his healer was Newt Heart.

Branch Tooth is known as one of the worst alphas Lightning Pack had ever seen and his time leading is known as the pack's darkest days. He would often start pointless fights with the other packs which would lead to unnecessary blood-shed as well as attacking random groups of wolves just so he could gain more territory. He led his pack to kill the majority of Razor's group to gain their land and ended up taking him and his surviving daughter, Whisper as prisoners, making them the omegas of the pack. He treated outsiders poorly compared to alphas before and after him and often neglected the two and wolves who were sick, keeping them from proper prey and shelter claiming its what their ancestors would've wanted and often kept resources for himself and over higher up wolves. He was enraged when he found out one of his most respected wolves had pups with the omega, Whisper, and sent his son and a couple of his followers to track down the pups while he got rid of Razor.

Branch Tooth and his son soon finished their task and awaited for Whisper to return. Once Whisper realized what they'd done, she killed Amber Fang in front of the entire pack which enraged Branch Tooth that his only son and beta was now dead. He quickly chased her out, ignoring her warning and named Arctic Wind as his new beta. Branch Tooth ignored the advice she attempted to give and he started to ignite even more battles. His healer, Newt Stone, died in one of the fights he started without an apprentice to succeed him. Branch Tooth didn't get a new healer saying it was a useless role and they should be more focused on training new hunters. Branch Tooth only becomes worse when strange things start happening within his pack, among pups being dead overnight with no scent traces or Aspen Dust and his new mate disappearing only to find them both dead near the border. He accuses the other packs for these deaths which only causes more tension and for the packs to turn their backs on them.

He is attacked later that night by Night Whisper and she ends up killing him, putting an end to his tyrannical alphaship. Arctic Wind proceeds to become the next alpha of Lightning Pack after his death.

### Arctic Wind

Arctic Wind was the alpha before Flash and Dark Rain. Her betas were Bear Nose and Flash Blaze, and her healer was Flower Dust. Arctic Wind was a kind and devoted alpha, doing her best to fix the damage the previous alpha, Branch Tooth, had done. At the beginning of her leadership, she appointed a young she-wolf named Flower as the new healer of the pack. She later made amends with the other packs and even accepted some Nightfall Pack wolves into her pack after it was forced to disband.

Arctic Wind had a long alphaship through care and wisdom, rebuilding her pack and making it better than before. Flash Blaze took her place after she died due to her not having any pups to succeed her.
