*Author's note*

Here is the Prologue for GYPSY WOLF. Now you guys can look into a bit of history for how I look at the wolf packs in my story and why Thranduil and Aniu are the top Alphas and how their wolf kin see them. Hope you guys enjoy it:)

____________________________________________

All wolf packs connect as one. In the beginning there was the Mirkwood wolf pack, the highest of all the wolf packs ruled by King Thranduil as High Alpha of all wolves. As the centuries pasted, some wolf packs remained in the Elvish Eldar light of immortality while others gave it up to become mortal wolves. But even though they gave up their immortality they still looked to the Mirkwood pack as its highest order and Thranduil the Alpha of all hoping that he would grant them peace and praise him like a God. Though one pack had always seemed to have its struggles within its own.

That pack was the Seoni wolf pack located within the forests of Romania.

It's beginning origins started off when 2 mortal wolf packs from France had to relocated due to all the war and famine going on in their homeland and found a nice secluded forest in Romania. As they began to settle down and make their claim, they soon discovered the native wolves that had already claimed this land to be their own.

These wolves were known as gypsy wolves. Shifters who can turn human or wolf on a dime and practice the art of witchcraft and sorcery. Centuries of bloodshed between these wolves happened until the She Alpha Aniu forged them to be one pack and live in harmony or forever be cursed by the All She-Alpha. Though they did unify as one pack, there was still struggles to be one until the era of a new Alpha, Eric Van Turpin youngest son of Napoleon and Marie Van Turpin was crowned King.

During his rule, the people at first thought it was a joke when he fell in love with one of the gypsy she wolves named Esmeralda but she soon fell in love with him and persuade her people to give him a chance. When Esmeralda was crowned queen, the kingdom became more unified and both sides began to finally compromise especially when it was announced that the queen was pregnant with the king's child. They soon gave birth to a healthy baby boy and named him Quinn Van Turpin. The kingdom rejoiced at the royal birth and proclaimed a great festival where both high and low wolves would come together and have a crazy yet grand time, naming the festival Topsy Turvey Day.

But sadly not all wolves felt the unity of Eric and Esmeralda was just.

The older brother Judge Frollo Van Turpin felt the unity of his younger brother and the gypsy girl was impure of Thranduil itself. He was also very jealous that his younger brother surpassed him for the crown of Seoni when really it should've been him to become the next Alpha.

10 years later after a reign of peace within Seoni, the King had suddenly died of unknown causes in his sleep, the Kingdom mourned for the death of probably the only great king Seoni had but none grieved more than the Queen. She had lost the love of her life, and by losing him she had literally lost herself. She was driven mad with grief and fled her own kingdom leaving her child and her people to suffer.

With no alpha to rule the pack, it was then Frollo soon became Alpha of the Seoni wolf pack.

It was at the time of his ruling that his true nature had truly shined. Cold, cruel, wicked, judgmental, and bitterly prejudice towards the gypsy wolves of Seoni. He even went as far as to be thoroughly cruel towards his nephew. Abusing him, beating him, calling him the devil's child until Frollo finally threw his own nephew far out into the woods to die. But it wasn't until some of his family on his mothers side took him in and saved him.

As he grew, even though he had been abused for the 6 years during his uncle's reign before his exile, Quinn remained kind towards his people and did whatever it took to save it from falling apart from his uncle's reign.

Even becoming a Robin Hood figure towards his town with the madness of the Mad Hatter.

For you see when he was a boy, his mother and grandmother taught him how to perform magic and his grandmother gave him his grandfather's Mad Hatter hat that he himself had made and wore and never once removed it. With tricks and madness to

throw and play with his uncle and the guards, he robbed his uncle's riches and treasures and supply of meat from the hunts and fed them to the poor people of Seoni, mainly for his mother's people.

Rivalry between Uncle and Nephew grew within the Seoni Wolf Pack, and it almost seemed like nothing could fix this pack. But Quinn would pray to Thranduil's star in the sky every night and wish with all his might that the High Alpha would one day bless the wolves of Seoni, banish his uncle and that he could take his rightful place on the throne of Seoni and rebuild his kingdom and lead it towards the 21st century, just like every other pack.
