Prologue

Prophecy

In the beginning, there was nothing, just chaos. From chaos came the primordial beings. The first primordial being to spring forth from the void of chaos was Gaea, the Earth Mother.

Through a virgin birth, her son and eventual husband was born. He was Ouranos, the Sky Father, and their love was such that it would last until the last universe exploded into nothing.

Together, they sired the Titans, the Hekatonkheires known as the Hundred-Handed Ones and the Elder Cyclops. Two of the Titans were Hyperion and Theia, who gave birth to Selene, the Moon Goddess and a favourite grandchild of Gaia.

Selene created the werewolves who worshipped her and loved her. She gave them three aspects: a human phase to hide in society, a wolf phase so they could hide in nature, and finally, a Lycan phase that was half-man and half-beast, that would be imbued with power and strength.

Werewolves were also blessed with long lives and youth that spanned many centuries. Selene blessed each werewolf with a true mate.

The werewolves' love for their one true mate was similar to the love her grandparents had for each other. A love so strong that should any of her werewolves reject their mate, it would be painful and they would lose a part of themselves.

There were two such werewolves, Liekos and Lycandra, who Selene favoured. They mated and produced two sons, of which the eldest, Lycae, became King of all the werewolves.

Lycae fell in love with a mortal woman and gave up his throne to his younger brother, Leto. Leto and his children went on to rule the werewolves around the world.

Lycae gave up his long life and youth to remain with his human mate. They had many children who were part human and part wolf, but their wolf aspects never showed.

There is a prophecy. It states that one day, a female child of Lycae would find her journey back to werewolf society. She would become one of the most powerful werewolves to ever walk this earth.

This werewolf would be so powerful that other creatures of the night would never be able to stand against them. Even now, werewolves are looking for the child of Lycae and hoping she will be their fated mate.

Background

In this world, werewolf law states that only humans who are fated mates may be turned into werewolves and only with consent. There are three Kingdoms in the world and are ruled by those who are direct descendants of King Leto. Only these direct descendants have white fur tinged with a golden colour.

There are some pure wolf-born packs who refuse to mate with humans for they feel it will dilute the pureness of that line. If they find that their fated mate is a human, they will either reject or kill that human, and choose another mate.

Werewolves have three aspects: They appear human, but still have wolf-like powers. They are usually taller and stronger than most humans. They have a Lycan aspect and a wolf aspect. Both of these aspects are large creatures.
