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 … ”
