Preface

My mother used to tell me stories about four brothers who risked their entire lives to protect their village from harm. They went deep into the woods, travelled farther than anyone in their village, to ask the good hearted white witch for a deal. The white witch they have heard stories about; the only one that remained.

This white witch was known as Seline. She lived so far out from anyone, and anything, because she knew if the villagers had found out what she was capable of, they would had destroyed her just as they had to the other witches.

Even though, she was a good witch, the villagers didn't think or believe she was. Yet, the four brother, who were not brothers by blood, had no other choice but to seek her aid.

The black witches, the bad ones, ran their village and harmed their people and there was nothing the brothers could do to stop them from terrorizing the village. The four brothers told Seline their problems and begged her from her help as they bowed down to her.

Although Seline had sworn to never help mankind using her powers, this was one of those times, she had to break her promise. She felt sorrow and heartbreak for the brothers and their village and promised to help them but with her help there came a price to be paid.

The brothers didn't care about the price that was asked of them; all they cared about was their village and so Seline told each of the brothers' blood and put a spell in each of the four cups.

She told them that drinking the cup of their blood, would gave them the new abilities to stop the black witches from harming their village ever again.

The four brothers were stronger and faster and had to abilities to see very far as well as hear from miles away after drinking their cups.

However there was still a price to be paid. Under the full moon, the four brother felt a pain they had never known and wished they had never known. Their bodies bend in usually ways as their bones cracked and broke.

Turning into the creature of the night, this was the price. Their children and their children's children would also had to endure this awful pain once they hit the age of sixteen.

The black witches could not harm any of the villagers now that four wolves protected them. Their magic was useless on them and the witches fled to another village.

Everything seemed to go back to normal as the villagers began to feel safe once again. Yet, there was something Seline forgot to mentioned to the four brothers. Once they had shift, they no longer got to choose who they want to spend the rest of their lives with. Seline got to make that choice because with the wolf gene in them, they would had turned the entire village into werewolves and the world would no longer be safe.

Wolves were unpredictable and they needed to be trained in the right way as to not lose their tempt too often and blend into the town as another villager.

The four brothers didn't want to stay together in one place because the black witches were targeting every village so they each agreed to split up and form their own pack, starting with their families. The divided up the country into four equal parts; the north, east, west, and south and carried out their lives protecting their territory. They made an agreement to meet twice a year in the spring and in the fall.

This was how my lineage was born.

And why I meet Adriel Easton; the most ruthless alpha ever known.
