Introduction
It was probably some cruel joke played on me by my ancestors. I imagined them rolling around in their graves, piles of bone and dust convulsing in the dirt.
"A female wolf? Impossible!" they all say with divine anger. "A vile act against nature!"
Then the head alpha – the very first leader of the wolves – says, "We must punish her."
And that's when Jacob Black is involved; he's passionate, strong, determined, and probably the favorite of all the dead alphas. So they chose him to torture me, which gets me to the next point – the main point, actually.
In order for us "protectors" to thrive, to maintain peace for generation after generation, we have to keep the bloodline alive. Thus, imprinting is conjured. A look into the designated person's eyes and suddenly, we know this is who will maintain the pack; this is who will help bear sons and more sons, and these sons will shapeshift into the wolves we grew up learning about.
Shapeshifting is typically reserved for the male (and this is where I roll my eyes) because all of the protectors, both past and present, have been men. Except for me, of course. A woman, a female wolf whose genetics defied the natural order and inherited the gene. I can shift, and unfortunately, I can imprint; and the lucky, or shall I say unlucky fella, who was unwillingly bestowed upon me was none other than Jacob.
The only catch, though, is that he can still imprint, and the torturous part is that it wasn't on me.
AN:
I'm aware that Twilight isn't a relevant series anymore. However, I've had part of this story written in a notebook for almost two years and go back to it every so often when I want to write, but don't feel inspired enough to do something original. That being said, I've realized that I would like to share what I have so far because it's unlike the Twilight fan-fictions I've written in the past (which were all very horrible thanks to teenage angst). Also, I just feel nostalgic about the excitement of writing a story, posting it, and hearing feedback from readers. So, please enjoy if you decide to read it, and don't be afraid to leave a comment!
