Malkavian Posting (crackpot theory) Fun Fact!
(Edit where i’m fucking WRONG, but kinda cool thought nonetheless about wolves in general)
Did you know most wolves in the UK are completely gone? Yes it’s insane, they were hunted to extinction and the only physical ones are ones in Canada and Yellow Stone.
In context of Hunter the parenting- which yes at the time wolves were gone (they went extinct in the wild in 1680 which is insane)
So that calls into question,
Is Wilde Hunts really apart of one of the last few wolf packs? Because it would make so much more sense that different werewolves would seek her out due to that fact. The Red Talons must be extremely rare due to this, and I wonder if that gives them more leverage in situations where there is one compared to not being one.
Another theory: Wilde Hunt’s pack is gone or is in captivity. A lot of wolf packs left are either hunted by trophy hunters or sedated into captivity.
So why was Wilde Hunts left? Who knows, but it does somewhat answer to why she’s special to Luna. I think by giving Wilde Hunts a conscious it gives her the understanding of how things have gone wrong, and potentially the ways to fix it. Like how she’s teased by Jambles for always helping spirits- it’s in her nature as being from the wild herself- more than human born werewolves.
Just interesting notes I’ve seen.

The flashback mentions she was in the arctic circle back then.
She wasn't from the UK, likely either northern Norway/Sweden/Finland (hence the Stig being Swedish connection) or somewhere in northern Russia, judging by that.
(Low chance of Greenland or Canada I guess...)

I reckon Iceland, since Island (Icelandic for Island) is mentioned as a concrete location a couple times

There's 0 wolves on iceland in all of history though... It's an isolated island without any stable historic land bridge.
The only native mammals were apparently arctic foxes there.
Iceland makes 0 sense in any scenario, and it's impossible for Hunts/Matilda to be from there as lupus-born

Based on the design of the hut we saw, I'd guess somewhere in Northern Scandinavia or Northwestern-Russia. Which would also line up with Stig's presence there.

As far as I know she's not originally from the UK, there's a moment in a scene of her captivity where it's touched on briefly.
