Our world has changed. In 1995 humans were informed wolf shifters existed and had been part of our world secretively, for thousands of years. They had been living separately and secretly amongst humans for centuries. They were now openly part of our human lives. They could be your neighbour, your boss, your doctor. Just about anybody could be a wolf shifter. The news was received by humans with disbelief, worry, terror and some excitement. Not all wolf shifters came out. It was a choice given to them by The Elders. Some shifters were in jobs where they wanted to stay anonymous. Some just didn’t want their lives to change. It wasn’t initially obligatory to announce your species, but the wolf shifter Authority had a complete list of all shifters around the world. One day it would become compulsory to be truthful about your demonization but for now, as a human, you had to rely on trust that the person you were talking to you was in-fact human.
There are a few myths I would like to bust before we go any further -
Firstly – you are born wolf shifter – you do not turn into a wolf shifter if you receive a bite! This stems from many old horror movies and frankly couldn’t be further from the truth – if this were true, wolf shifter numbers would not be declining.
wolf shifters do not want to hurt you – they do not even want you to know who they are most of the time. They certainly don’t want to bite you.
Whilst in human form they look just like us. They do have some characteristics you can look out for – the women are very athletic, with very few curves. They are strong in body and mind. The men look like any human male. They are of course very strong, very old-fashioned, and very sexual.
Shifters have a hierarchy. The strongest wolf is the Alpha. They are the leaders of the pack. Then there are Seconds or Beta’s - they work alongside their Alpha and are usually very smart and knowledgeable. They are also very strong wolves. The wolves in a pack are all allotted a place by how strong they are. If they wish to climb the hierarchy, they must fight and win against a stronger wolf. Finally, there are Omega Wolves. These are wolves with the least physical strength but are essential for each pack. They are the empath. They control emotions through the pack ties. They remove excess emotions from a being or a situation. If not looked after they become quite dark, and depressive and most end up killing themselves. They are very rare but essential to help balance a pack.
Changing from human to wolf is not a bone-breaking experience. It uses a form of fae magic that makes the change swift and painless.
When changing form, clothes do not change with them. They can change from human to wolf fully clothed, ruining the clothes. Turning from wolf to human leaves them naked. So, if you ever come across a neat pile of clothes on your travels, please leave them. A shifter will be back soon and will need them.
The difference between a mate and a true mate. A true mate is a soul mate. Someone who is born for each other. A mate is someone you meet, fall in love with, and wish to be their mate. The only problem with finding a mate is, if you then meet your true mate, you will leave your mate. This is normally an agreement made between mates before mating. If you find your elusive and rare true mate, they cannot be ignored.
The reason humans were told of their existence was because their numbers were dwindling. Only a pair of mates can have a cub. If a wolf shifter doesn’t find their true mate or a mate, they don’t have cubs. Humans can be a mate to wolf shifters. To up the odds, and hopefully increase the numbers of wolf shifter cubs being born, wolf shifters were outed.
It has brought the sexual revolution to humans as wolf shifters are highly sex driven. It is changing the importance of life for the human race. Humans were working too hard. Life was becoming harder and true love being forgotten. The delicate differences between men and women were being lost. With the introduction of the wolf shifters, the differences between males and females were being celebrated again. Whilst equality was still very important, the old-fashioned ways of manners, being a gentleman and looking after your partner were being reintroduced. For a shifter male, their partner is their world. They provide for, protect, and love them fiercely. Humans are learning from shifters, being reminded of the important things in life, family, and love. The only question that remained on every human mind was, if wolf shifters exist, what else from our history and fairy tales may also exist?
Witches exist. They are few and far between and very secretive. They will be found amongst humans and often do not know they are a witch unless something happens in their life that triggers their magic. Magic is hereditary. You inherit magic from your family line.
