A few minutes later I was dressed in the ceremonial outfit.

The clothes looked unexpectedly good on me. I met Xander at the bottom of the stairs, his eyes glowing with adoration as I came down.

“You look so beautiful!” he sighed, reaching for my hand.

I smiled at him and allowed him to lead me towards his car. We drove in silence. I was trying to formulate an escape plan by trying to remember the road, using houses, trees or whatever my brain can remember as landmarks.

Finally, we arrived at what looked like an abandoned warehouse. He guided me towards a hidden entrance and we started descending into what looked like an underground tunnel. The walls were lined with flickering torches. The air was damp and thick with an unfamiliar scent that made my skin crawl. As we walked deeper into the tunnel, my anxiety grew.

I had no idea was awaited me at the end of this path but strangely, every step felt familiar. Like, I’ve done this before. You know that hazy feeling you get but your brain cannot remember? Yes! That’s the onc.

When we finally emerged from the tunnel, my eyes widened in shock. The space we had entered was large, like an underground Cathedral. The ceiling stretched high above, disappearing into. darkness and it was filled with more people than I could count.

They all seemed to notice Xander’s presence at once because they suddenly turned and in unison bowed their heads in reverence, but none of them paid me any attention which I liked or maybe not. They were humans clearly, and I was hoping I could get them to help me but… their loyalty was to someone else already.

I leaned toward Xander. “Who are all these people?” I whispered, my curiosity getting the better of me.

“They’re recruits,” Xander explained softly, with pride in his eyes and his hand resting on the small of my back. “They’re humans willing to join me in creating a new world. But they can’t fully join yet. I mean, they’ll go through training like the ones before them but they cannot transform yet. Only you can give them the ability to shift into their wolf forms.”

My heart pounded in my chest. Xander wanted to make humans, Wolves? Was that even possible?

–

*If Werewolves can take up their nature become humans, they can also become your kind,” he explained as if sensing my doubt.

“But out of all the mythical creatures, why did you choose us? I mean, you could have gone for Vampires…”

“Too messy!” he scoffed. “They have a lot of allergies and are not easily adaptable. Perhaps we can admit them in our new world but I intend to wipe them off the face of the earth. It’s no use.”

we could admit them into the new world but that’s yet to be seen. You know, Werewolves have the balance I want and need from Mythical creatures.
