Er's mortal life was rather unremarkable in the eyes of their pack, a tragedy in its own right. A lowly omega in a large pack, if Er had ever been given a name, it was soon forgotten. On the off chance they were noticed, they were simply referred to as "omega". They didn't mind the lack of attention, though; they were content to just watch, a nameless observer to the endless cycle of pack life. It was through this constant observing that Er discovered a unique talent for matchmaking. While Er never found much appeal in taking a mate and having pups of their own (the reason for this would not become clear until some time after their mortal life comes to a close), Er delighted in bringing their packmates together. Once they saw a suitable match or unrequited love, they did everything they could to subtly bring them together. It was a common occurrence for them to bear gifts and lie about who they were from, or carry false messages to arrange romantic moonlit meetings. A great many of their packmates were brought together this way, and while their involvement in the relationships was never recognized, seeing their packmates happy was its own reward. …show more content…

It was only witnessed by two wolves, a young couple whose forbidden love was Er's greatest achievement. Their pack was as strict as it was large, and the two wolves would face severe punishment if their relationship was discovered.

While they were successful in that regard, they didn't fully consider the repercussions of the relationship being discovered. When they caught wind of a dangerously accurate rumor that the two wolves had a secret relationship, Er was driven by guilt and stubborn pride to quickly find a way to protect

Anton was with Truus during the night that he lost his family, and this has permanently affected how Anton has romantic relationships. Saskia, his first wife, matches the mental picture that Anton had of Truus, to the point that they had the same “expression in the eyes” (138). In fact, the main reason that he married Saskia at all was because “he had… imagined what the woman whose name seemed to be Truus looked like. From the very beginning he had imagined her looking like this and not otherwise—like Saskia” (130). Evidently, the extreme trauma that Anton experienced, as well as the connection that it had to Truus, has resulted in Anton entirely basing his marriage on a single encounter with a person when he was a child.

There is then the “black labrador taking a crap on somebody's doorstep”(27) that Ed was instantly able to build a “rapport” with. Ed was able to build a rapport with the labrador because he is the labrador and that doorstep was Victora.
