Eadred - heading for self destruction

Hi

As a preamble I am totally new to this, so if I have made mistakes please tell me


My new character Eadred has just arrived. He's lead a very comfortable life for the last few years, but that has all come to an end dramatically - separated from his mate and offspring - and he does not know even himself if it was intentional or not.

I'm planning a story where - rather than do the sensible thing and adapt to a new environment slowly, Eadred goes on a reckless adventure, going to places it would be unwise for an out of shape wolf to visit.

He joins a pack, and at first seems reliable, but then disappears with two other wolves who think he is friendly. He persuades them to go with him, but betrays them when they need help most. He engages in reckless behaviour, as if he were one who had died already and any further life merely a bonus. Something is driving him on but he does not know what it is, is it the love interest that happens in his adventure, or is it a darker secret
