Chapter 1

The Great Lycan has always been told as a Legend, it first arrived as a child of the first werewolves, and it is said to come in the any sex, it could be male or female. It had the power of a million werewolves combined and immortality but it also had itsweaknesses…

“What is it, dad? Tell me, tell me” Lucas pestered and Alpha Reginald laughed, he tapped the young boy on his head and put tucked him in.

“You will get to know soon my boy, but first you must go to bed. I might be the Alpha but there is one that we fear” Reginald look at Lucas and they both exchanged a fake scared face. “Mum”. They both said together and laughed, Ruby stood by the door frame and glared at both of them. “Why is he still up? As why we’re you telling him that story?” she scolded, Lucas had always been the exact replica of his father, he looked up to him and loved everything about him.

“It’s not a story mum, it’s a Legend” Lucas started and immediately stopped when she gave him a death glare. “Daddy, I think mum’s face is stuck. She’s glaring hard” “Go to bed young man… this instant, and come with me Reginald, there’s something you must see” They said their good nights and the parents left the room.

“What is the matter? You are still not upset about the story, or are you?” Reginald asked. Ruby had a worried look on her face, he knew something serious had happened. “That story… is a very terrible Legend. He doesn’t know what the Great Lycan can do and you keep telling it to him. What if he gets interested in looking for one? What then?” ”Then we let him, you know what happens when the powers of the Great Lycan is passed on.”

“There has been no sign of the Great Lycan in the past ten thousand years Reg, It doesn’t exist. In the last battle, it gave up it’s life because it’s mere existence was going to break out a war amongst wolves.

I know how powerful it can be but it was made for a reason and that is to save all wolves from the Underworld rulers. The power was not meant to be used selfishly, that is what caused the demise of our ancestors and you want that for our son?”.

Reginald sighed, she was right, the Great Lycan had powers that could destroy the underworld rulers, rulers that didn’t give a fuck about what happened to the world.

The first set of wolves ruled the underworld, they were the Jade wolf which held the most powerful set of wolves the world had. They were vicious and filled the hearts of other wolf packs with fear.

They were worshipped like gods and manipulated other wolves to do their bindings, they formed the association of the underworld, distinguishing the wolves from the humans, it was treacherous to have anything to do with the humans and it could cause a death sentence on anyone caught with a human. Great Lycan Silva was the first Lycan to be born and his birth was to be a salvation to all of the underworld… or not.

His mother Tara was a beautiful woman with a pure soul, she was from a low rank pack. Some of the jade wolves decided to disengage from the pack and create their own packs which led to the disunity amongst wolves, they couldn’t bear the harsh treatment from the Jade wolves and then moved on to form theirs. It was a war for survival, most of them lost their lives and the ones that didn’t were injured badly. Tara was just a child when the war started and when it ended, her father Sirius who had survived moved to form a pack of his own. Years later after the war had ended, Members of the Jade wolf formed an alliance with other pack Alphas and they became the rulers of the underworld, they were to institute justice and care for their packs.

At least that was what the goal was in the beginning, Tara fell in love with a human, and she got pregnant for him but was betrothed to the son of the Midnight Wolf pack when the news came that she had a child for the human, wolves sought to kill her and her child so she fled. Harry was born on a blood moon night, the sky was red as blood and there was not a single cloud in the sky, Tara was alone to care for her child as the other wolves had killed her human lover and forced her to run away from her pack.

She cared for her son who grew up to be a strong young man, he was daring and charming, he could learn fast and his growth was fast.

Tara went back to her pack when Silva turned fifteen but she was not welcomed, her brother who was the Alpha of the pack then had ordered her to be killed at first sight because if her betrayal and disobedience. She had resigned to her fate, her only family would not accept her child not her so she knelt down to be killed, Silva could not bear to see his mother die and then he shifted, it was the first time it ever happened, his fur was golden and his growl was thunderous.

He fought off his mother’s pack in a twinkle of the eye and when her brother saw his, he tried to tame him. It was Silva’s first time turning to he was wild and didn’t care who he killed, word was sent out to the underworld rulers and when they came, they were astonished by the sight and confirmed the Legend of Great Lycan.

It was impossible to trap the wolf and it would take tens of millions of wolves to do that, an arrow was shot at his mother and when Silva saw her dying, he growled angrily and his outburst released a wave of power which killed millions of wolves.

He was weak and it made it easier to capture him, the rulers found different ways to experiment on him and the Legend were true about him, They tortured him to see if he would die but he didn’t, his golden fur was tested for and it was found out that it was a secret to it’s immortality, his fur was shaved off and then Silva grew weaker till he was at his weakest.

He hated the wolves, every one of them and planned to get his revenge on them. On the day of the blood moon, his birthday, Silva gained more power than he had before and with that, he used it to end his life.

Wolves found out about the Great Lycan and wanted his immortality for themselves, it turned out into war when the Rulers went against the idea and made a decree concerning it, the Great Lycan became a Legend and a tale told to the younger generation but it never came back.

Years passed by and the Legend only became a Legend. No one knew when the Great Lycan would come back and no one wanted to go against the rules of the leaders of the underworld.

Lucas was ten years old when he first turned, his fur was white as snow and beautiful. He had been homeschooled for half of his life because his parents shielded him from the outside world, he was taught martial arts and self-defense at the age of eight and excelled in it, but he was sixteen and it was time for a change of environment.

Reginald drove to the Lakeshore High school to enroll Lucas as a student for the senior year, it was unusual to have a new student and especially one for the senior year but the Alpha had his connections and Lucas was a bright student.

He was left in the care of the guidance counsellor after a series of warnings and advice from his mother.

“It is indeed unusual to have a new student at this time of the school year but your results have shown how intelligent you are” Miss Grace, the guidance counsellor said as she led him to his class. Lucas rolled his eyes and sighed, she reminded him of his nanny Agatha.

Agatha was a talkative and was always chattering about the on-goings of his pack, he had the ability to mute every sound round him and concentrate on just one, it was one of the amazing abilities of his wolf and he did just that, the music on his iPhone was playing silently but he concentrated on it and zoned Grace out till he could only see her lips moving. They got to a classroom, and then he turned his attention back to her, his schedule was handed over to him after Grace had introduced him to the class.

“Mr. Fairchild, I hope you enjoy your time here. Please take a seat and we’ll continue with the class” the Algebra teacher, Mr. Dan said. Lucas gave him a small smile, then turned to get a seat, there was chattering and giggling coming from girls as he walked down to the back but then he stopped in his tracks, his nostrils caught something, something divine and he couldn’t quite understand it but then she raised her head and turned to him.

“Hi, my name is Lucas. Is this seat taken?” He asked as he pointed to the opposite chair beside her. She nodded and turned her attention back to the book on her table.

“ I’m Clary”.
