Mara Jones is the daughter of the Firefang Alpha. That means she must "Commit" to a high ranking male to ensure the Alpha line into the next generation. To make matters more urgent, she must "Commit" to the son of the Alpha from the rival pack, the Silvermanes to ensure peace is maintained. However, Mara has no plans on "Committing" to a boy she doesn't know, much less having pups of her own. Her only option is to go completely rogue and become a dreaded, "Lone Wolf".
