Oh, Probably not---they were Partners/lifemates...

I suspect elves, for whatever reason, do not 'rebond' as often as wolves. even Bearclaw looked like he was not planning on running the tribe alone for very long...


*Sometimes* an alpha wolf who has lost a partner takes a new mate, often they just 'step down' and a new pair takes over... *Very* rarely do they try and lead the pack alone....
