☽Chapter 1 - Once Upon A Time... Yeah, Right!☾
Have you ever heard about the stories of Werewolves?
Do you know the legends and stories about beings forced to shift from human to wolf only once during a Full Lunar Cycle on the night of a Full Moon?
Has anyone ever told you about those who have no control over their instincts or nature when in full wolf form and can attack anyone, both friend and foe?
Do you know about the beings whose Mates are destined to them and them alone by the Almighty Moon Goddess who created them?
If you said yes to any of these, would you believe me if I said these are true stories? That werewolves are real and walk amongst you? Well, everything but the forced shift on the night of the Full Moon is real. The truth is us werewolves can shift whenever we want and stay in control.
Now you are wondering who I am, and that's understandable so let me introduce myself. My name is Geminie Starlight. I thought I was Geminie Blake of the Hidden Claws Pack and future Theta-also known as third-in-command- to my pack. It was supposed to be my birthright since the Beta would be my brother, Alex. But things changed when I was a child, and I soon learned how fast blood was not actually thicker than water. That at a moments notice my life can become worse than it already was and I was demoted to an Omega, a slave within the pack. It soon worsened on the night of my eighteenth birthday and life seemed to have a different plan for me, my world turning upside down when rejection forced me into an early shift, and my true birthright came to be known.
I guess you're interested in my story since you've made it this far, so I'll tell you. But I need to start from the beginning...

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ “I want to get a divorce, Mark,” I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time—even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.
