A/N: I figured I'd try something a little different. This is kind of loosely based on the tale of beauty and the beast, [I know, it probably has been done before] but here is my version. Right now, this is just the prologue, and if and when I decide to continue with it, remains on you're hands [the readers]. So, know that this is M/M, and I will let you know that there will be no lemons in this one, just some cursing here and there. The pairing will be Jacob/Seth because I haven't exactly tried writing about these two alone. So I hope you enjoy.

Prologue: Pandemic

In the time of the pandemic, where the smallpox disease made its ugly appearance, of what seemed as if it were targeting most of those the first nation tribes. A majority of the people's lives were claimed by the illness, and the several tribes' people were being buried every day.

The Quileute tribe was no different. But they did have one doctor that was willing to help as much as he could, and that's when the vampire society became known. It seemed that most were nearing their deaths, and the doctor's solution to keep the virus from spreading was to offer the 'cursed,' or so what they called them, to the pale faces. The reasons seemed plausible, as much as the existence of vampires frightened society, they became comfortable with the thought of them feeding on the sick, those who were known not to survive. . Those who met this fate, were passed through a yellow slip stamped by the doctor to give the okay for any vampire to dispose of the ill human

It seemed to be a great solution according to the doctor, this way the spread would lessen and the Vampires wouldn't bring such havoc to the human race. But that hadn't lasted long.

The doctor and his wife were becoming the most hated by the first nations people. Sure the bill was approved under the governance, but none of it was explained to the people. Those who have tried to fight the sentence of their dying family members were sent to prison, and of course this raised a great concern for every chief of each tribe.

In the village of the Quileute tribe, near the town they now call Forks, a young man and his wife were facing this predicament. The man's wife was dying, and without his consent or agreement, the yellow slip was passed through, and a vampire would be set to claim its victim in a couple hours. This infuriated the man because he was sure that his wife could survive this, and she did. With the uninvited visit of the pale face, something magical triggered with the native. The sight, the smell, and the anger that had built up inside the young native caused him to change into a giant wolf, their people's descendants.

In a split second, the vampire was disposed of, and the couple was… saved. Though this hadn't been really put under a microscope, the first nation people were drawn upset when they discovered that the doctor had passed the woman's death sentence without looking further into. This raised a great concern, the Quileute's had felt betrayed; they felt as if the doctor was trying to get rid of them.

Existence of the shape shifters had been brought out as folklore tales, those have sworn they had spotted a massive wolf roaming the forests of Washington, and most have thought those individuals were delinquents. As little as they knew; the shifters were growing in numbers just as the vampire community was as well. The pale faces, as the wolves labeled them, their numbers were slowly falling, and this came under the knowledge of the governance of vampires known as the Volturi. At that moment, it was under order that any vampire offered the yellow slip should refuse; it was becoming too risky for all of them. It was decided that the vampires would enter hiding mode again. Becoming nothing but a myth once again, hiding from the one known enemy they had, the wolves.

Of course it didn't stop there. The Quileute pack were still furious that the doctor had made such a rash decision, so the alpha set to attack him and his wife at their manor located far from society. The doctor remained in this location for the same reason as anyone else; to avoid the disease as much as possible as well as the silent war that he was afraid would happen.

The alpha and his pack made the invasion before the sun rose, invading the mansion to find their targets. Blinded by rage, the alpha killed the human doctor and continued to search the massive house for the wife.

When they found the widow, she began chanting in a native language. The alpha and his pack became concerned of what the woman was planning to do, that was until she gave her warning.

"The sun will rise and fall as well as the moon, you will remain in this form until you are rescued. In time, and only in such the spell can be broken, but only by one that can hear your voice, one with words of truth that can be spoken."

With the last of her strength, the woman released a strong power that permeated through the mansion, cursing those who were there, causing her to collapse to her death.

The wolves could no longer shift into their human forms; they were cursed to live in that lifestyle along with their alpha. But the alpha, he was targeted with the worst part of it. He transformed into a beast. A monster to which his pack became afraid of, and a hideous creature that he couldn't stand. A true werewolf stuck in the same form, forced to live on and on until the curse could be broken.

The problem was, none of them knew how to end this. They couldn't die. They couldn't live. They'd become unknown. They've become the nightmares of a child's dream; a fairytale without it's happily ever after.

So why was this young native man wandering the forests alone. Hadn't he heard the horrid tales, the hauntings of this forest? The one where a beast constantly guarded these forests to keep everybody away, animal and man.

It would only seem right for him to flee from the sight of the abandoned mansion. But he continued to walk closer to the rusty gates covered with vines that had aged. And the main problem was…

Seth hadn't heard about the horror stories of this place.

A/N: Seeing how 'Pack Of Submissives' is nearing it's end -I think- I will be focusing on completing that one as well as working on this one to get ahead before I post. I just wanted you guys to have a preview of my next project. So who knows when the next update for this one will be posted, it could be sooner than later.

Much Love,
