    All is fair in love and war, a great many stories have been told about love, in the mortal world, in vampire tales, and even amongst the Olympian gods of old. Even we are not left out of it, the werewolves. Everybody loves, though it is most often followed by tragedy. It is often said that our line started with those three, the three big L's: Life, love, and loss. Not necessarily in that order, many, many years ago, when my ancestors were still mortals that serve the hunt Goddess, Blessed Selena, the moon. A man loved, lost and after much prayer, his sincerity touched the cold heart of our Goddess and his beloved lived again. 

      But like all stories about cheating death and rebirth, there was a price, she became possessed by one of the fierce creatures that are spell bounded by the moon. The soul of a new being merged with hers, there was no way to tell their difference or separate them. Her eyes and hair turned silver like the moon. 

    Thus, making her the first werewolf to ever walk the earth. And to every child born of her blood, possessed within them the blessing or curse of the first. 

    Every few generations, a child is born with silver hair and the eyes of our foremother to remind us of our history. As time went on, the silver-touched ones were coveted, the most powerful Alphas wanted to mate them, and sire blessed children on them. Some wanted them as a symbol or trophies, others expected them to serve as their pack's oracles which lead them to early graves because of the mentality of If I can’t have it, then no one will.

     The rumors say the silver ones had special abilities, that some had the powers to foresee events before they transpired, infinite wisdom if you will, or the power to heal with a single touch, it was even whispered that one had the Goddess's ear, the ability to speak to her and hear her. I call bullshit.  

I was born with silver hair and eyes like moonbeams and I have never had any such visions. It has only ever brought me pain and death, first when I was seventeen, I doubt it will be any different now
