5	!!Tropes present in this series:
6	* AnimalTalk: Referred to as “common speech”, though each species also has its own language, and understanding humans is a learned behavior.
7	* BigBrotherInstinct: Ruger for all his younger siblings.
8	* CallingTheOldManOut: [[spoiler:Nicodemus' son when his father breaks up a fight between him and Zephyr.]]
9	* CannotSpitItOut: Cian’s declaration of love for Moira is messed up enough that she Lampshades it.
10	%%* CoolUncle: Ruger and Julian
11	* DeadGuyJunior: Moonriver is named for her grandmother.
12	* DeadpanSnarker: The reason it's said sarcasm is Zephyr’s first language. Apparently an inherited trait i.e. Layla and Cian. Sequana and Moira have their moments too.
13	* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Zephyr in the first installment.]]
14	* DisproportionateRetribution: Zephyr’s reaction to most attacks on his loved ones.
15	* FirstGirlWins: [[spoiler:Moira is this for Cian.]] Maybe Sequana for Zephyr, as she is the first unattached she-wolf he meets.
16	* FreudianExcuse: Zephyr's backstory. Still doesn't excuse ripping the throat out or tearing to shreds people that threaten his loved ones.
17	* HappilyMarried: Zephyr and Sequana, as well as most of the mates
18	* IUhYouToo: Cian’s confession of love to Moira amounts to him accidentally quoting his dad before he gets the words out.
19	* LikeBrotherAndSister: Zephyr and his human have this vibe.
20	* NarrativeProfanityFilter: This gem from ''Zephyr’s Legacy'': Eclipse growled in pure fury. “Leave it to him to destroy a well-balanced pack! That –” She let out an unprintable stream of curses.
21	* MeaningfulName: Most of the characters have names whose meaning are somehow indicative of their personality.
22	* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Nicodemus, Ruger, Layla
23	* NearlyNormalAnimal: Every wolf (except Zephyr at times) is a Largely Normal Animal.
24	* NobleWolf: While they are portrayed semi-realistically, most of the characters fall under this trope.
25	* OfficialCouple: Zephyr and Sequana, [[spoiler:Cian and Moira, Julian and Eclipse, Legacy and Legend]]
26	* PapaWolf: Zephyr, no contest.
27	* ThePatriarch: Zephyr is this for the Windwater Pack, at least in his childrens eyes.
28	* RaisedByHumans: Zephyr, as a result some of his traits confuse his fellow wolves.
29	* RetiredBadass: Nicodemus [[spoiler: after being overthrown by his son.]]
30	* SavageWolves: Subverted, big time. The wolves are portrayed as close to real life as they can be, but they aren't blood-thirsty monsters.
31	* ShoutOut: To certain series (Literature/AvalonWebOfMagic, Literature/TheCircleTrilogy) and songs/singers are referred to now and again. In some cases, good luck figuring out what Zephyr's talking about.
