ElizabethSadly, I was very wrong. The werecats were planning war. They wanted our territory and nothing was going to stop them. Our son was born in the midst of all of it and I had a hard time convincing Oliver not to send me back home! He wanted me and our son to be safely tucked away in the castle while they fought the werecats! Who the hell did he think he was mated with?!As soon as my body allowed, I was right there by his side fighting for our people. The war didn’t last very long though. We won fairly quickly thanks to the Royal Army standing behind us. I didn’t realize how incredibly proud I was of myself and of our people until I stood on the porch of our new pack house looking out at our people.Everyone looked tired, and I could feel the sadness in the air. We haven’t just fought a war. We built our new pack house while fighting! Oliver wanted to keep the people busy who had to stay behind. He listened when I told him that life had to continue while we were off fighting fo
ElizabethOur children grew and with them our pack and also our little village. My projects that seemed huge when I started them now seemed small, and we had to expand our vegetable garden sooner than planned. We quickly became the second-largest trading post in our region. It wasn’t surprising when we got word that the werecats wanted to talk.A young new alpha had been appointed. She had taken over from her father and had very different views to him. I was pleasantly surprised to meet the young woman. She was strong and confident but not overbearing like most males in her position. She negotiated a very good trade deal between our pack and hers and people who used to be enemies quickly became good friends.It was a time for peace in our world. I knew war would come again someday, but for now we were all living in peace. We were trading and even started a student exchange. After visiting the witches, I really wanted my children to experience something similar when the time was right.
ElizabethAs the world turned, the Lycan kingdom changed. The days of the great wars were forgotten. The days of peace and trade passed. What was once a great nation splintered into the world and the beautiful castle was left abandoned. The human world grew stronger and the supernatural had to hide from it to stay safe. Traditions were abandoned, so they could hide and the fact that these creatures were real was turned into a myth.The history of the great Lycan kingdom was turned into a legend. The amazing lives of Oliver and Helena were forgotten, and their history books turned to dust in an abandoned kingdom. Witches, dwarfs, pixies and fairies became the creatures that only existed in fairy tales. The age of man had arrived. The rhythm of life took over as the creatures had to hide deeper and deeper in the darkness.Thankfully, the wheel of life always turned, and these creatures found their way back. They grew stronger and fought wars to make a place for themselves in the world.
THE LYCAN KINGDOM was never restored. Kings and queens were never appointed again, but there was peace. A world council was appointed to protect all the creatures, and they prepared for the day the humans would return.Supernatural creatures combined their powers and knowledge to better the world and soon everyone was flourishing. The creatures opted not to use their new-found technology to explore the heavens. They didn’t want to run into the creatures that nearly destroyed the earth. They had learned their lessons from the mistakes humans made and whenever greed showed its ugly head, they would quickly be shut down.The supernatural creatures had been given a second chance, and they were going to live their lives to the fullest this time. It was called the cleansing and whenever people referred to it, they spoke with huge respect for those who returned to live new lives. Elizabeth did return with Oliver happily by her side. They took jobs as teachers and had a second full life.Oliv
Helena“WE CAN JUST COVER IT WITH SOME MAKE-UP.” The young female slaps her mother’s hand away after her mother had been faffing all morning to cover the bruise on her cheek. Under normal circumstances, we healed pretty fast, but not when the Alpha slapped you clear across the face!I pulled on the girl’s bedding to make sure it was straight and quickly moved out of her room. I still had to clean Alpha Liam’s room before I could leave for school, and I was sure that I would find it in an utter mess! From the looks of the girl I had just left, I knew he would be in a fowl mood this morning. I had to try and avoid him as long as possible.“There you are! You little bitch! Why hasn’t my room been cleaned yet?!” I closed my eyes and lowered my head. I couldn’t very well tell him that I was trying to avoid him! I knew that nothing I said would help. He would just take it as some kind of insult. I waited until he finished his rant and scurried away as soon as he walked off.I heard him laug
HelenaI kept my head high. He had exiled me. I no longer had to listen to him! The warriors grabbed me and dragged me out of the dining room. I didn’t struggle as they basically dragged me all the way to my room, and finally shoved me inside. It didn’t take more than two minutes to grab my small backpack and stuff my things into it. I didn’t own much. I wanted to take my books, but the warriors wouldn’t allow me, and they shoved me out of the room.All my life I’ve had to take their beatings and their hateful words, but no more! I was free! I could live my life in peace. I had no plan. No idea where the hell I would go, but I knew that anywhere else was better than staying with the pack. I had no intention of begging Liam to keep me there. I didn’t want to be there!After the moon goddess revealed her cruelty by choosing that bastard as my mate, I just wanted to find somewhere that I could just live a peaceful life!The entire pack was waiting as I walked out of the building. One by
HelenaHours later, I was building a small fire inside a cave after cleaning the rabbit. I made sure that there were no trails nearby and that the cave had indeed been left deserted for a long time. There were no tracks around except for normal animals. I wouldn’t be able to make a home out of the cave since it was barely large enough for the night, but it would do for now.I really longed for a shower, but until I was sure that Liam and his bastards wouldn’t come after me, I had to hide my scent with mud. When I shifted to race after the rabbit, it clung to my fur like glue. Cleaning up would have to wait. I was finally on my own. I was free! My hopes and dreams were crushed, but I was free!The meat tasted incredible even if I didn’t have anything to season it with. It was my freedom meal. I thanked the moon goddess for the blessing even if I was still furious that she destined me to be mated to that bastard. After finishing the rabbit, I wished that I had found more, but at least i
HelenaMy heart was beating in my throat as I turned slowly. The enormous number of possibilities of who it could be run through my mind in a split-second and I nearly fainted at the sight of the deer standing just meters away from me! My mind raced as I realized that it would be a great food source, but I wouldn’t be able to store any of it.It would be a huge waste of a life … Like mine … I didn’t have weapons and I didn’t have enough time to shift! Before I could move, the deer darted off into the forest. My breath pushed out of my lungs. I had been holding it so tightly that it felt as if my lungs were about to explode.All the possibilities of what could have happened flooded my mind as I set of in the direction I was going in again. I kept reprimanding myself. How could I have been so damned stupid?! It could have been a rogue! How on earth would I defend myself against one of those?! I found some berries along the way and dug in hoping I could find somewhere to stay for the nig
