Summary Chapter
I will be posting this story both on here (fanfiction) and on fictionpress to get as many opinions as possible.
In basic terms, this story is centered mainly around how different the lifestyle for humans and werewolves are to each other. However I will also warn, the other main focus is also the type of relationships werewolves have, which i like to call "dominant and submissive". In this story, it is set in a world where humans and werewolves have a great hatred for one and another and the reason for this dates back many generations which will be explained throughout the story eventually as well as the werewolves history and birth. The humans live in villages and i have set it so they travel from different villages in order to trade crops and other things for money, they travel by horses because I have set it so vehicles such as cars were not invented during this time. The humans lifestyle and werewolves lifestyle is rather different because the werewolves live as individual clans with few numbers but are still incredibly strong, werewolves tend to stick to the tribal lifestyle whereas the humans have advanced slightly when it comes to weaponry (such as rifles, swords), however they both share the same weapon of a crossbow and knives, but the werewolves could easily use themselves as weapons. You will notice the differences in how they live their lives.
The main human village is set in a clearing where there is a single path that leads miles away from the village to another, on the opposite far end of the village is a forest, that filled clusters of trees, rivers, and is far deeper than any of them care to go and due to the agreement between the werewolves and the villagers that was set many generations ago, there is a certain point they cannot go, for it is then the werewolves territory and vise versa, this is in order to keep the peace. The only way the agreement can be broken is if one kills the others kind with brutality. This could lead to war. Therefore the agreement is a silent warning for them both. There are various other clans of werewolves but not in that area for they all have their own territory, but then there is also the individual werewolves that are known as rogues, which are exiled werewolves that no longer have a clan and so are both the enemy of their own kind and humans.
Going back to the dominant/submissive relationship topic, a dominant in this story is always the male and the submissive is the female. From the day they are born, a werewolf is destined to find their mate one day and they come into their "inheritance" at 18 where they are able to sense/smell their dominant/submissive. At 16 is where they learn to transform into their werewolf form. It is possible for dominants to have sex with others before they meet their mate but it is frowned upon and most wait until the day (if it ever comes) that they find their mate, some have to leave their clans in order to search for their mate and then return, this is the dominant that goes searching. A dominant must protect their mate at all costs and due to the bond the mates have, they can sense at times how the other is feeling, there should be a bond of trust so the submissive feels safe with their dominant. If either reject each other, after so long they will both begin to experience pains and changes in mood, the dominant will become aggressive, violent and will crave their mate, eventually he will slowly cave in on himself and would rather die than live a life without his mate, the submissive on the other-hand will become increasingly depressed, lonely, craving their mate and will be very clingy. If one mate was to be killed, for the other mate they will feel as though part of them has died and will most likely commit suicide because they cant handle the emptiness that their mates death has caused, the bond between the mates is far fragile and powerful than any mere human can understand.
For Logan Black, Alpha of Shadow Pack, finding his mate will hopefully bring some light to his grey life where he holds the bitterness and anger inside from personal experiences of pain and betrayal. He has grown into a well respected man to his clan and is now a powerful Alpha despite his young age (18). Without respect, he believes the clan will fall apart, he believes if his followers respect him and know their place their pack will forever be alive, he remains strict, feared yet most of his pack know deep down Logan cares. However will Logan's hostility and bitterness prevent him from opening his heart to a mate or will he destroy his only chance at happiness due to pack law and his past? Will he be willing to accept his mates identity?
