Chapter 1: The Story Begins
Many many years ago, there existed 6 ancient Werewolf Packs, every Pack took pride in their exclusive Bloodlines, keeping it pure and sacred. The ancient Packs, along with their Pure Bloodlines, had been blessed with elemental Supernatural Powers. There existed 6 Elements, Dark, Light, Fire, Wind, Water and Earth, each Pack possessing one element.
The Packs could bend their Elements to their will, their Power was immense. Yet they did not abuse it, they had decided to live in peace and help each other out whenever required and they maintained this status quo for year and years. The only rule of the land was to keep Bloodlines pure.
Years later they realized, that they had evolved in such a way, that mating and intermixing bloodlines physically had become very challenging, the elements cancelled each other out .They realized this, when Dark and Wind tried to mate, which led to the death of the Wind Pack’s Omega. The Dark Element too strong for her to bear. In successive, but secretive tries, finally one day, a couple succeeded, surprisingly both of them possessed the Power to control both the Elements for a limited period of time, after the mating Ritual ended. That made them the strongest in all of the territories, even if for a while.
They found out, every time they had sexual intercourse in their rut and/or heat, completing the knotting, they would acquire each other’s Supernatural Powers, for a few hours. Soon, they started mating between the two Packs, and for the first time, a Wind Omega got pregnant with a Dark Alpha’s offspring.
The Light Pack came to know of this anomaly. They called an urgent meeting with the remaining Pack leaders. The Light, Water, Earth and Fire, furious over the other two Packs for breaking the most ancient sacred law, demanded an answer. They were answered, in a declaration of War.
The Dark and Wind, with the combined Power of two elements, had gone hysterical with the immense power they held, and wanted to rule on top of the others. They wanted to absorb Powers of the other Elements as well. In the first ever clash; they abducted many Omegas and even Alphas of the Light, Water, Fire and Earth Packs, forcefully mating and raping them.
Light and Dark never succeeded. Their mating was against the nature, no offspring ever survived, but with the other three, they managed to intermix.
Facing their first total defeat, Light urged the other three to also mate with Light Pack, to double their power to defeat Wind and Dark Packs. Fire and Earth were against it, wanting to protect their pure bloodlines.
In series of Attacks, Light Pack and the other three, were nearly destroyed. Finally they accepted Light’s proposal, but were too late, they had lost too many of their Packs, they could no longer win, the surviving member’s went into hiding. Light Pack was completely destroyed, with no survivors.
With fires and bodies burning everywhere, when everyone thought the War was finally over, the Dark Pack attacked the Wind Pack. They had secured the Pregnant Omegas and off springs and wanted to wipe off all competition.
Wind, fought back, some Dark member’s mated to Wind Pack helped, they fought over the years, gradually Pure bloodlines of both getting completely wiped out.
After a while, finally, with no one having the strength to keep up the War, with diminished numbers, quiet settled down. New Wolves born, had mixed elemental powers, but were much weaker than the Pure ones. The bloodlines were destroyed.
200 Years later in the present time, the forests were divided simply into four, the Northern Fire, the Western Wind, the Southern Earth and the Eastern Water.
The Northern Fire was a very cold region, with vagabond werewolves, or very small Packs struggling to survive, they were said to have a mix of fire somewhere along their Bloodline, nothing strong. Fire Pack had been wiped out in the initial stages of War after Light, for their stance to keep their Bloodline Pure.
The Eastern Water had a peaceful small kingdom, comprising of a few Packs. The ruling Pack had elemental powers of Water, but were weak.
The Southern Earth also had a small kingdom, with quite a few Packs, but had a good defense system. There was a rumor that somewhere in the South, Pure Earth Bloodline Wolves still existed. But since it was far and well defended, no one knew for sure.
The Western Wind had a strong kingdom, the surviving ruler was the last of pure blood Wind Pack, and they also had lesser degree of mixed bloods guarding the palace. His right hand man, was a Dark Wind. (Lesser degrees of intermixing was stronger than those who were further diluted in their bloodline, for example, a mix of, Earth, Water, and Wind, was much weaker than a Dark Wind, as the elements cancelled each other out.)
The pure bloodline of Dark Pack was assumed to be wiped out, just like the ancient Light Pack. Only traces of Dark blood remained, mostly found in wolves of the Western Wind forest. Similarly, rare trace of Light Blood was found in Eastern Water Forest’s leading Pack.
There was little peace, but trade pacts and yearly meetings of the heads of the Packs ensured smooth functioning. War was forbidden, but everyone always stayed prepared.
When everyone had become used to living like this, the Southern Earth Pack was attacked, in the late hours of the night, even though they fought all night, many lost their lives, bodies lay drenched in pools of their own blood, there was utter devastation. The elders cried, recalling what they had remembered or had been told, the attack pattern was same as that of the ancient Dark Pack. The darkness which had surrounded them all night, meant, a Pure Bloodline Dark Wolf still existed. And he was going to destroy everything.
……………………..
A man in royal robes advanced alone in the long dark windy corridors, coming face to face with a huge stone and metal gate, forcefully pushing it in with both hands. Upon his entry all chatter inside the huge hall died down and many bowed to him. He walked up straight to the tall throne, placed in front of huge glass windows, finally halting and bowing down respectfully to his leader, the ruler of the Western Wind Forests.
“Hongjoong, what we have been told, is it true?”
Kim Hongjoong stood up straight, eyeing the very old man in front of him, a Pure Bloodline Wolf, of the ancient Wind Pack decent. “As far as I have been told by my trusted sources, unfortunately yes. It is true that the Southern Earth forest was attacked, it is also true that the manner of attack was of the ancient Dark Pack.”
The figure on the throne growled, the window panes vibrated with the powerful sound, the Wolves who were still bowing were shaking. “So they lived. They lived and they waited in the shadows for years. But now they know, they know about it too, they are here to get it. If they get it Hongjoong, it will be the end of us and everyone else.”
Hongjoong knew what his leader was talking about. They had also recently found out, and he had no idea if others knew of it too. Probably Eastern Water ruler did, he had good sources. But he was faster, he had sent his trusted soldiers to already secure the prize. Right as they spoke, they were most probably coming back with with ‘it’.
“Hongjoong, once it is here, you mate it. We will use it against the Dark Pack, that is the only way. I am too old, but only Pure Blood can fight against other Pure Bloodlines. You are very strong, but they are on a different level. If you mate it, your Powers will become double as well.”
“As you command supreme leader.” Hongjoong bowed lowly. Then he asked, a bit hesitatingly, “The Dark Pack, do you think there are many pure bloodlines alive or just one?”
“Just one is enough my boy, just one. If there were more than one, we wouldn’t have been living this long, we are, after all, their worst enemy.”
“If there were more than one, they would have attacked earlier, and not waited for so long.” Someone spoke from the sidelines, a boy younger than Hongjoong, with dark hair and a mole underneath his eyes. The son of the supreme leader, Jung Wooyoung, their prince.
Few people in the room finally up righted from their bowed position, one of them spoke nervously, “Also my supreme leader and commander, we need to keep the prince safe.”
“I need to fight for my Pack and those directly under us! I need no protection!” The Prince growled agitatedly, the prince also had strong presence, but weaker than his father, who was a Pure Blood, and weaker than Hongjoong, who was an Alpha. The Prince was an Omega.
“I will take care of it all. Now if I may, I request you to rest my leader.” Hongjoong gave Wooyoung a quick glare, then again bowed to his head Wolf.
“There will be no rest now. We were never prepared for this.” The leader replied. The winds were crazy around their palace that day, the leader’s worrisome state always resulted in fast winds and turbulence. It was more than that, it felt like a storm was coming. Literally.
Hongjoong wouldn’t admit, but he was worried as well, maybe half the wind turbulence was him and not the leader. Earth Pack's defeat was worrisome because firstly they were good at defense and secondly they were physically the strongest. That was the power of the Earth bloodline, strength. And those strong wolves were destroyed in one single night. They needed ‘it’ to arrive early, and safely, the leader was right; a pure blood was their only defense, even if it not in its prime state.
