Mated to the twin Alphas

A werewolf is also known as a lycanthrope (" wolf-man"), is a mythological or folkloric human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf or a therianthropic hybrid wolf-like creature, either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction.

Werewolves are shape-shifting creatures with unusual speed, strength, reflexes, and senses. They can be like other supernatural creatures, a werewolf is known for having extraordinary abilities.

They have super senses of sight, smell, and hearing. Furthermore, werewolves are very fast and have speedy healing abilities. A werewolf can share its thoughts with other werewolves.

Wolves have 42 teeth, they have four toes with claws in an oval shape, they mate for life. A litter of wolves is usually 4 to 6 pups. The pups are born deaf and blind with bright blue eyes, a pack of wolves can range from 2 to over 30 wolves but it depends. Wolves can run at 36 to 38 MPH.

However, a werewolf cannot be killed by silver crosses or holy water like vampires but they are killed with silver bullets. When they die, they turn back to their human forms, a werewolf's main weakness is their vulnerability to silver or any substance containing silver, as they can be killed with a silver knife or bullet. Contact with silver will hurt them, an injection of silver nitrate was able to kill one.

To become a werewolf, it is necessary to be bitten by a werewolf in its wolfish form at the time of the full moon. When the werewolf's saliva mingles with the victim's blood, then contamination will occur.

Werewolves have enhanced senses like vampires, albeit less developed, they can hear things humans cannot, such as the Gilbert Device, however, they were not shown to have the hearing capabilities of vampires. They also have heightened taste senses.

The werewolves don't live forever but they don't age for some time until they can stop fasing into wolves, but they live in the woods, far away from the human world. They are hiding not all human knowledge of their existence, they believe humans as weak creatures.

werewolf in European folklore, a man who turns into a wolf at night and devours animals, people, or corpses but returns to human form by the day.

One of the earliest known werewolf legends comes from a greek mythology. According to the legend, a man named Lycaon angered Zeus, the lord of the Gods, when he served Zeus a meal made from human flesh. As punishment, the enlarged Zeus turned Lycaon into a wolf and that was how werewolves came into existence.

werewolves are scared of transgressing the border between human and animals, werewolves illustrate a fear of the devil and his followers undermining human, particularly christian, society. Accounts of the humans turning into wolves are found as early as the ancient Norwegian Volsunga Saga or Ovid's Metamorphoses.

The werewolf is a widespread concept in European folklore, existing in many variants, which are related by a common development of a Christian interpretation of underlying European folklore developed during the medieval period. From the early modern period, werewolf beliefs also spread to the New World with colonialism.

Belief in werewolves developed in parallel to the belief in witches, in the course of the late middle ages and the early modern period. Like the witchcraft trials as a whole, the trial of supposed werewolves emerged in what is now Switzerland ( especially the Valais and Vaud) in the early 15th century and spread throughout Europe in the 16th, peaking in the 17th and subsiding by the 18th century.

It's unclear exactly when and where the werewolf legend originated. Some scholars believed the werewolf made its debut in the epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest known western prose when Gilgamesh jilted a potential lover because she turned her previous mate into a wolf.

Werewolf made another early appearance in Greek mythology with the legend of Lycaon. When he angered the God Zeus, he turned Lycaon and his sons into wolves as punishment.

Werewolves also emerged in early Nordic folklore. The saga of the Volsungs tells the story of a father and son who discovered wolf pelts that have the power to turn people into a wolf for ten days. The father-son duo donned the pelts, transformed into wolves, and went on a killing rampage in the forest. Their rampage ended when the father attacked his son, causing a lethal wound, the son only survived because a kind raven gave the father a leaf with healing powers.

Some legends maintain werewolves shape-shifted at will due to a curse. Others state they transformed with the help of an enchanted sash or a cloak made of wolf pelt. Still, others claim people became wolves after being scratched or bit by a werewolf.

In many werewolf stories, a person turns into a wolf when there's a full moon - and the theory may not be far-fetched. According to a study conducted at Australia's Calvary Mater Newcastle hospital, a full moon brings out the "beast" in many humans. The study found that of the 91 violent, acute behavior incidents at the hospital between August 2008 and July 2009, 23 percent happened during a full moon.

Werewolves can be seen as representing the duality of human beings as both animal and spiritual beings. The animal nature is generally repressed, controlled by the human rational mind and social norms, but may be released when the moon transforms, concomitantly transforming the person. This darker side of human nature is uncontrollably aggressive and without morality, is, unfortunately, a reality. The transformation that we hope for, however, comes with the light of a new "moon", the light of true love, which will reveal the true goodness of human beings.

They look like regular people during the day. But when the moon is full, they turn into a hairy- and- scary- monster! And when the full moon disappears they turn back into a person.

It's hard to pin down the world's first reference to werewolves. One of the oldest known written works on the planet, "The Epic of Gilgamesh," is a likely candidate. In it, Gilgamesh refuses to become the lover of the goddess Ishtar because of her cruel treatment of her previous suitors. Ishtar turned one man, a shepherd, into a wolf, making him the enemy of his friends, his sheep and even his own dogs.

Ishtar isn't the only ancient god to change a mortal into a wolf. In Ovid's "The Metamorphoses," a traveler visits the home of King Lycaon of Acadia. Lycaon suspects that the visitor is immortal, so he devises a test. He serves human meat to his guest, who unfortunately turns out to be the god Jupiter. Jupiter immediately recognizes the meat's origin, and he transforms Lycaon into a wolf. Lycaon's name and the word lycanthropy both come from the same root -- the Greek word lykos, meaning wolf.

Both of these works are ancient, and they suggest that the idea of men turning into wolves has been around for about as long as human civilization has. On top of being old, the idea is widespread. For the most part, if wolves live or have lived in a particular region, that region's folk tales include werewolves. In regions where there are no wolves, stories describe people turning into other carnivorous animals. Stories from parts of Africa describe people turning into hyenas or crocodiles. In Chinese folk tales, people become tigers, and in Japanese stories, they become foxes. Some Russian stories describe people who turn into bears.

In all of these stories, shape-shifters tend to inspire fear. That fear comes from three basic sources:

The animal that the person becomes is a large, powerful carnivore -- it's frightening even without supernatural intervention.

In undergoing the transformation, the person becomes something he fears, and he has no way of escaping himself.

If lycanthropy is transmitted by a bite, a victim faces the threat of ongoing, perpetually terrifying transformations should he survive the encounter.

Being bitten isn't the only way to become a werewolf, though.

Mira's Pov:

I am Mira Parker, the daughter of the Alpha of the Crystal Mountain pack. We are the weakest pack in America, we are larger than before, but a lot of pack members left the pack, claiming they don't want to be called weakly because they are from the Crystal Mountain pack.

But from my discovery, I heard that our pack was among the strongest pack in America before, my father got married to my mother, but the reasons behind this mystery, I don't know. I have always longed to restore our pack's dignity. I always say that to my parents and my elder sisters who care about nothing in this world apart from fashion, but except for our pack being smaller in size and being declared the weakest, still, we all live in peace and harmony.

I have two sisters, although they are older than me. I am stronger than them, except Khole but they are more beautiful than me. I am just a plain girl with a small breast and butt. I don't like showing off because there Is nothing for me to show off except my fighting skills and my long blue hair that lights my eyes whenever I smile. I am usually quiet and sometimes people don't even remember me being among the Alpha's daughters.

My 18th birthday is fast approaching, the day I will find my mate if I am lucky and also meet my wolf. I have longed to find my mate and for us to have my parents' kind of love.

"Mira gets your butt down here, we are running late," my eldest sister shouted from downstairs.

.

.

.

Her name is Khloe and the other one is Vivian. Khloe is always bossy, maybe because she is the future Alpha of our pack. That's what I used to think but she doesn't care about that position, all she ever wants is to stay alone looking grumpy.

.

.

.

She doesn't like stress but I will know how long she has to run away from her responsibilities. Vivian is the wayward one among the three of us, she hasn't found her mate, and she is happy about that. She doesn't want anything that will tie her down. I am the opposite of them, I am always quiet and wish to find my mate and live in ever-ending love with him.

I was still in my thoughts when my door burst open and my eye was met with an angry black eye. Khloe is already fuming with anger while glaring daggers at me. This girl doesn't have patience, she wants everything to be done quickly as if she is dying anytime soon. I quickly jumped out of the bed before I will be her target this morning cause she is hot-tempered and Is ready to throw me anything that reaches her hand without giving any fuck in this world, I hope her mate will locate her very soon to tame her before she blows our pack away.

The next thing I heard is the sound of broken stuff but thank God I am already inside the bathroom, I did the sign of the cross and strip my pajamas from my body before entering the bathtub, the water was relaxing that I don't even know how many hours I have spent in there before I heard a loud bang at the bathroom door.

.

.

.

"How many hours are you going to stay in there, or are you sleeping there," Vivian said calmly to me, making me clean my body and enter my room with speed being naked not caring about tying or wrapping anything around my body.

Despite my body not looking like a supermodel's or hot, I don't like covering my body after bathing. I don't know why but I love doing it.

"What were you doing in there for hours?" Vivian asked me while strolling through her phone.

" I am just bathing," I answered her when robbing cream in my body.

"Only if you know how angry Khloe is, you will stop being slow because I don't want my head to be pulled out," Vivian told me making me leave the cream and put on my clothes in the process, looking around my room to know what Khloe broke that time that I was in the bathroom.

"What is it that Khloe broke and where are the pieces?" I asked Vivian.

"She broke your plastic golden cup unintentionally but I have trashed the pieces," she answered me apologetically.

That plastic golden cup was the first gift I have gotten from the pack fight after I emerged as a winner. Every year our pack always has a fighting battle with our great fighters to know how we are improving but I fought them all so, they gave me the plastic golden cup as my gift and since then I always pamper that cup. My family knows how much I cherish that cup but finding out Khloe broke it hurts me like crazy therefore spoiling my mood this morning. I looked at Vivian who was looking at me with pity and gave her a small smile before sitting down to tie my shoelace. The thing I love about her is her caring nature despite her wayward life, she is still caring, but she never takes anything seriously.

She only cares for you if she finds you hurting apart from that she doesn't give a fuck. Maybe Khloe left my room after breaking the plastic golden cup because she knows I will be angry, though I can't do much apart from hurting, crying, and crawling inside my shell once I find out. At least she was supposed to apologize to me instead of sending Vivian to console me. I signed and grabbed my pause before exiting the room not minding that Vivian was even there.

We are going to the shopping mall today, to get my outfit and theirs for my birthday. Once I reached the sitting room, I greeted my parents and moved to the entrance door, I opened the door and walked towards the parking spot where I found Khloe looking stern.

.

.

.

I wanted to shrink back with fear but once I remembered that she broke my plastic golden cup, I rolled my eyes at her taking her by surprise. I moved to the car and entered inside. I know she wasn't expecting me to do that but what does she expect after breaking my stuff without apology.

Mira's Pov:

Khloe entered the car and wanted to start the car without Vivian, I looked at her from the back and found that she was determined to leave Vivian behind. I then asked her without minding the atmosphere.

"Khloe, take it easy, are we leaving without Vivian?"

.

.

.

She glared at me before stopping the car. I wonder if she will rule our pack with this behavior of hers but Vivian won't come out now, she is always the first person to finish dressing up and still comes out late, I don't even understand that girl.

I was still thinking when she opened the front door and entered smiling like an idiot despite the atmosphere being suffocating and Khloe's aura choking us.

"Hey Khloe we know you are the future alpha but please reduce your aura before you ruin my makeup".

Vivian said to Khloe, making me roll my eyes at her for saying the last part, like seriously we are choking but all she thinks is her makeup. Khloe reduced her aura and relaxed back to the seat, did she do that for us to remember we are seating with the alpha but if that is true then she is stupid, we almost choked to death rather she did it because we made her wait for us despite breaking my stuff.

.

.

.

I hissed and looked out of the window. Once we reached our destination, we all came down and moved inside the mall. We shopped looking sad except for Vivian who kept showing all her white teeth. But I decided to put what happened this morning behind me and shop happily because it is for my birthday. When we were through, Khloe paid for the dresses with our parent's debit cards before leading the way outside.

.

.

.

.

The day of my birthday has finally come, I was more than happy to see this day. I, first of all, thanked the moon goddess before going down to greet my parents who sent me back to my room saying I need to take a nap before the night because my birthday will commence at night during the full moon. I can't wait for my mate and my wolf, my other-self.

.

.

.

At night, my parents sent some omega's to help and dress me up. I was dressed like a princess which seems strange since my parents don't do that when we are celebrating our birthdays. They even ordered the omega's to clean the pack surroundings. They cooked different varieties of food, though I don't know why they did it. I felt happy that they prepared all this and that whatever that is happening is happening on the day of my birthday. They looked like they were expecting some people from higher ranks but all I know is that I have to enjoy myself.

The birthday was moving smoothly, even some neighboring packs came, making it sweeter. It was time for me to turn to my wolf, it was already a full moon. I moved to the front stage and stood but before I knew it, I heard a bone crack. I felt like I'm dying. The shift was very painful.

And my body was shaking. Hot sweat is rolling down my body. I felt as if I was burning, I found myself bending down and screaming in agony but before I knew it my clothes ripped out of my body and I transformed into a big, crystal white wolf.

With blue hair and sky blue eyes just like me, I looked around and found people looking at my wolf with admiration. Then I howled to the moon, and immediately every other wolf shifter howled back to the moon goddess. That's what we do anytime anybody does their first shift in our pack. After howling to the moon goddess I bowed down to my parents, my sister Khloe as the future alpha, and then I bowed to the pack members before exiting the place for my first run.

As I was running, I heard a voice in my head

"Hello Mira, it is nice to finally meet you, I am your wolf heaven," she said to me, taking me by surprise by her name.

"Is there why you are f*****g beautiful because your name is heaven?" I asked her, making her blush.

.

.

.

"We are the same, you are me in your human form, and I am you in your wolf form", she said sweetly to me,

"But you are prettier than me," I said sadly to her.

"We are the same Mira baby," she said to me again. I stopped and changed back to my human form. I picked up the clothes my sister Vivian gave me before I started running and put them on before heading back to the ceremony. But by the time I reached it, I was informed by the beta that my parents wanted to see me in my father's study.

For my father to request to see me in his study and immediately after my birthday that must be important, I was even angry that I didn't find my mate today, I reach my father's study and knock on the door twice before my father promptly said "enter," then the beta stepped aside for me to enter before he shut the door leaving me and my parents inside, who was looking at me with sadness, pain, and pity.

-

-

-

" Please sit down, Mira," my father said.

-

-

-

I sat down slowly because the atmosphere was awkward. My father looked hunched, and his handsome face looked haggard while my mom looked as if she would cry anytime soon. My father cleared his throat several times before looking at me sternly, his face hardened. Then he spoke firmly with his Alpha tone, therefore, initiating fear in me.

"Mira as part of the treaty negotiation with the bright moon pack, I have agreed to a marriage alliance. You, Mira Parker, will marry the Alpha's first son Nicholas Den".

I sat there paralyzed by what my father said, I laughed bitterly at my father

"You are joking, right dad?" But he looked at me with a frown and asked me.

"Do we look like a joke to you," he said, wiping the smile off my face and replacing sadness and hurt.
