Our story doesn't begin when we meet our lead girl.
It doesn't either when the lead girl is being bullied or not even close when she's about to meet her Prince Charming.
No, this story begins much more further in time, when mankind still believed in extraordinary creatures that lived among them. Creatures that balanced the good and bad in the human civilizations.
Once upon a time, a family lived in a hidden city.
It wasn't an ordinary family. This family was so deep in themselves that they basically lived for each other's company. Sure, like any other families, its member will quarrel, but it would return back to normal pretty soon. This family wasn't a normal family.
It was a pack of werewolves.
Werewolves packs were a little different from the rest of humanity. They'd have a head of the family, the Alpha, and his wife/mate, the Luna. This role were named this way because 'alpha' is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, while the 'luna' is the representative of mother of the family. You'll understand later.
Helping the Alpha, we have the Beta, or second-in-command, and the Gamma, the third-in-command. There were also the Theta, the doctor of the pack. The rest were either warriors or wolves that would learn a different job to sustain the pack, but able to fight if the situation is needed.
We mentioned the word 'mate'. And, we are not using it with the same meaning as our Australian folks over there. In the werewolf community, 'mate' is a short for 'soul mate', that person that was chosen by the Fates to live besides you until your death. Sometimes, these mates can reject each other, but soon, they'd regret it. Never had been a long rejection in history.
A mate can overlook all your flaws and accept you the way you are. You're greedy? Your mate will overlook. You're a cheater? Your mate will overlook. You're a murderer? Your mate will overlook. You're a runaway? Your mate will overlook and follow you.
That doesn't mean they can't stay mad at you. In current times, mates don't overlook, but tend to change for the best. Wolves that change for the worst tend to do that because their mate is gone. But, we're getting off tracks.
One day, one of the many children of the family (which wasn't a kid anymore) decided it would be nice to explore the beyonds of their little city. What was out there? All the young ones wondered the same thing. So, year after year, all the children, and their parents afterwards, went out to explore the world that surrounded them.
Outside their little city, these wolves became respected. Gained power, worship in cities and affairs with humans. Some of them were treated with respect, some other with fear.
Werewolves don't age as fast as humans, so no human argue into calling them 'gods', and after a while, they began to believe it. In different cities, they'd have different names.
But, there was and there still is a force that is more powerful that these little werewolves gods. No one knows exactly its name, but the humans used to call it 'Mother Luna', the Moon Goddess. The moon, as they believed, gave their gods the powers and abilities to help them or destroy them.
Mother Luna recognized that, the deeds that her children were doing on Earth (because every werewolf descendent was a child from the Moon) were not good nor bad. They kept the balance between the human, some creatures she created out of pure boredom. Little creatures with the abilities to evolve and rationalize, but stupid enough to worship a creature that held some kind of ability that was superior to them.
She decided to reward them. She allowed this little pack to become actual gods and to ensure that the humanity were appreciating their gift. Since no member of the pack was stupid enough to reject a gift from Mother Luna (or their were either too afraid to say no or they were stupid and went with peer pressure), they all became gods. God of the skies, the seas, the dead, the sun, the light and many, many others.
The ages passed and these little gods constantly visit their home, Earth, helping humanity with new gifts or if to creat offspring. Mother Luna did not prohibit this, but she warned them that, with every direct offspring from them, some of their power, respect and worship they gather over the years will slowly fade away and pass to the unborn child.
Some gods didn't care about it. They'd say that carry on with their legacy was enough and that, if some of their abilities were passed on to their children, then the world won't be ruined.
Some others (more in particular, the goddesses) saw this as a waste of hard work, so they preferred to abstain of having children. The single goddesses.
Some other found out that, even when they have offspring and some of their power would go to them, they could maintain their powers intanct. Soon, it became a public secret and all gods that wanted offspring began to use it.
But, there was one god that believed that humanity shouldn't be forgotten. That, once in a while, someone should come out and remember the rest of mankind that they were there. So, once every generation, he'd choose a non born baby girl to pass some of his ability.
And that, is how our story begins...
Hello, guys!
Here's one of my new two stories I'll be posting from now on! The other is Character: Meet... Character, you can find it in my profile. The title can be better, but I didn't want to get lost in the sea of werewolf!AU that exist around... Just a couple of warnings, like this is an OCTACHEL story and, while there's going to be Percabeth and others, they won't be the main couples, but Octachel.
Another things is that I'll will ask for patience as I have many stories to update and this is a very difficult time of the year for me... You can send me reauests, but I'm still behind and I might not post every weekend all, so, again... PATIENCE.
Last warning is that this story won't be around wars and sides, but about highschool and learn what is this werewolf alternative universe that some of us found fascinating... So, if you were expecting wars and stuff, you either stick around for the end or not...
Have a wonderful weekend and a great 4th of July!
