Basic information.

Warning: If you are familiar with Lycans, Werewolves, Vampires, Hybrid, and mate bond ... Just skip this chapter, you won't need it.

1) Lycan vs Werewolf:

Only a true alpha of a pack can change to a Lycan, but mostly it never happened. The alpha shall have to prove himself as a real alpha to become a Lycan.

Both Lycans and Werewolves can shift into wolves out of human beings. Still, there are many differences between both of them.

A Lycan's wolf is a bigger wolf than any other werewolf, also stronger, faster, and immortal. Lycans can also have the ability to create a werewolf out of a normal human only by biting him, but a werewolf can't do the same.

A Lycan's bite is a ki***r bite for a vampire. The saliva of a Lycan is a venom that has no cure when it comes to vampires.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) The mate bond:

In the Lycan//werewolf world, mates are for life. Each and everyone has a mate (a destined soulmate). A Lycan//werewolf might find its mate when he turns 16 years old. If not, it may take him forever.

But whenever a Lycan//werewolf finds its own mate, they fall instantly, both in love. Rejecting your mate means rejecting your destiny, and as a result, it causes eternal misery for both males and females. A mate can be a werewolf, a Lycan, or a human. Accepting a mate's pull can be only by:

First: Accept your mate mentally.

Second: Mark your mate.

Only mates can mark each other by biting one another on the neck. The mark will keep the other Lycans and werewolves away from their mates. Only the Lycans and werewolves are able to see the mark on a she-wolf. Humans can't see the mark.

Third: sealing the bond.

It happens only if they are both fully mated (by having sex).

Missing one of these steps means that the mate bond is incomplete. But once the mate bond is complete, both of the mates become like one soul. They get to read each other's thoughts, feel the same feelings, and more. It also became impossible for them to live without each other.

One of them's death can cause the death of the other one - and if it's not, it may cause eternal misery.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) Vampires:

Vampires are immortal night creatures that feed on human blood. For forever, vampires were known for sub-ducting, then hypnotizing their human victims before feeding on their blood. They can consume normal human food, but still, they need blood to feed on.

They had a superpower and high speed, high senses that allowed them to see, hear, smell, and taste better than any other normal human being. Vampires are vulnerable to silver and sunlight.

Still, they have some sort of supernatural power that changes from one vampire to another, and they call these superpowers by gifts.

Some of them can control water, others can control the wind, and flames of fire, and some of them even can control minds, or see the future. The most wanted gift is the shield since this one can protect them from the sun's curse. These powers and abilities grow stronger with time, age, and the consumption of human blood.

Again, there is an exception to these fundamental rules regarding pureblood vampires. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4) Hybrid:

A hybrid is a mixture of two different species in one body, like a vampire and a werewolf. Hybrids possess the powers of both species, yet they don't have their weaknesses. Either wolfsbane or vervain can't affect a hybrid, which makes the hybrid stronger than both species.

5) The characters :

Lucas Salvatore: the alpha of the shadows pack.

"Love was always known to be a cure rather than a curse. This is not the case in my story. My name is Lucas. I'm actually my pack's alpha. I've been alpha for more than I can remember, maybe 400years or maybe more and my mate "My Luna" is my curse... Her name is Stephanie, she's beyond beautiful. I never really got to know her... Why??? Well, because I got to see her death over and over again. Every time we got to see each other, she ended up dead in front of my sight" ...

He was known as one of the strongest alphas who ever existed. Not because he was gifted or any sort of special, but only because he was cursed... Not just him, but all his people in general, and his Luna in person. The only way to break his spell is to learn how to love. Years passed and Lucas got to see his cursed Luna on more than just one occasion. It always starts and ends up in the same tragic way, "the death of his mate in front of him". However, he tries his best to avoid her, if by not having her in his life, maybe she would survive. Moreover, she gets in one way or another. The same things keep on happening for about 1400 years, and every time it ends up the same ...... 

Logan Salvatore: the alpha's brother (Still did not find his mate) . 

Noah Tempel: The second in charge and Lucas's best friend, "The Beta". 

Vikki Ingerson: Noah's mate.

Liam Hallock: The third in charge, "The Delta".
