Long ago, before the Human Species had evolved enough to overpopulate the planet, Wolf Packs roamed the earth in search of lands to settle into, with plenty of game to hunt, fresh water to drink, thick green forests to hide in and run through and a backdrop of stunning mountains to climb. Such places were fought over when they were found with only the strongest, fittest Packs surviving, it was therefore inevitable that an area that combined everything a Pack required in abundance would be claimed by a very special Pack. The large deep valley with a silver stream running through its centre culminating in a large pool surrounded by flat rocks and stunning exotic flowers was the perfect place for a large Pack to settle and make it their own.                                    This was no ordinary Wolf Pack, its members were the first Immortals, Shifters of all kinds but predominantly Werewolves. When this Pack took over the local area all the creatures that shared their habitat knew they had to defer to its Alpha. A powerful Lycan who ruled strictly but fairly he was adored by his Pack and respected by the other creatures that came under his protection he started a dynasty that can be traced back to this day. They peacefully co-existed with all the other Species that lived in and around their valley for centuries, and then the humans evolved.                                Sadly Werewolves do not reproduce as quickly as the human race, none of the Immortal Species did and as the centuries passed their number dwindled alarmingly. The Council of Immortals decided the only way to counteract this was to breed with the humans, so they took human females, without permission, raiding the villages and dragging the ones they chose from the arms of their parents, boyfriends or husbands. Humans learn quickly, they knew the Immortals were stronger, faster and more intelligent so they got together and taught themselves how to fight back. As the centuries passed they began to develop weapons, first just to kill the huge creatures that haunted their lives but eventually, they realised catching and experimenting on them would teach them more. Those who developed this knowledge became known as the Hunters and they learned all they could about their Immortal enemies. How they functioned, what their differences were to humans, what happened to their bodies when they shifted how to stop them shifting, how to keep them in their animal form and finally, most importantly. how to kill them. They trained and worked hard on their bodies, living a perfectly healthy lifestyle, building up their muscles, and becoming more deadly with each generation, because Hunters are born, created from other Hunters, and the Immortals hated them.          Like the Immortals they passed on their knowledge to each subsequent generation and they grew stronger, not as powerful as the Shifters they hunted mercilessly but their numbers grew and they were not above recruiting the hapless male humans to aid them. What they lacked in strength and size they made up for in numbers chasing down their prey uncaring of the many frail human casualties left in their wake. All they cared about was their prize, the Shifter, dead or alive, it became a way of life for both sides, the Hunted and the Hunters.                                                                                        Shifters warned their children about the horrific consequences of being captured by these Hunters, embellishing accounts of experiments done to them ensuring they kept ever vigilant. In the same way, Hunters told their offspring of the dangers of the powerful creatures that lived alongside them pretending to be human. They were warned to suspect every human being as a potential Shifter, if they were handsome or prettier than the rest of the class it made them targets. Every human knew the Shifter population was incredibly handsome or beautiful, with perfect muscled/toned bodies, flawless skin and glossy hair. They were taller, stronger and much faster than their human counterparts and this led to many innocent humans losing their lives to the older Hunter children. These older teenagers became so paranoid by their parents' constant lies that they killed any good-looking muscle-toned human that stood out. The anger and suspicion this caused throughout the different communities led to mutual hatred and fear that grew on both sides as the years passed.                                              Something had to change before both sides destroyed each other completely, the human race was evolving so fast in its technological advances that the Immortals found it difficult to keep up. They preferred the old ways and many stuck to farming construction rather than entering the microcomputer world of artificial intelligence, it was one of the areas where the humans far outstretched the Immortals. The other was in their treatment of its females, Shifters were firmly stuck in the patriarchal ways of men ruling and women staying home as the caregivers, the humans emancipated their females and made both sexes equals.                                                                                When human females were taken as Shifter mates most of them accepted the old-fashioned outdated ideas of the Packs settling down to become mates and mothers, happy to look after their lovely homes. They were treated far better by their Shifter mates than they ever would be by human males, Shifters were loyal, they mated for life, they were loving, and their human mates never got bored of their gorgeous bodies and they had everything they wanted, Shifters provided well for the families. Living in the Pack also meant they had lots of friends and a wonderful support network once their mates were sure of them they were allowed to visit their human families if they so desired. Some did, their families accepted the Shifters as husbands, many did not, they saw the Shifters as their mortal enemies and never accepted their daughters were happy. It was a difficult time for both Species and the added problem of their half-breed offspring soon began to rear its head, most of these children could shift but they were not quite as strong as the full-bloods. A few did not get their animal and these children often got bullied by both sides, it was a hard life and things were changing a     new era was coming.
