3rd Person POV
* ... 15 years ago ... *
Shelby Knight had made a promise to protect her family, friends, pack, and all supernatural creatures anywhere and everywhere all over. She swore that nothing would stand in the way of her family's happiness. She would carry all that weight on her shoulders alone. She didn't want anyone to bear any burden because of her. After killing the god, Apollo, she thought she was finally done with fighting and could enjoy her life, watch her son grow up, see her grandchildren one day, and live her eternity with her only true love, Thomas.
...
She was, of course, wrong in every way possible.
…
As the revolution among the gods started, a new fate fell on Shelby's shoulders. A prophecy arose yet again telling of how Shelby was to be the Savior of the gods and supernaturals of all kinds. She was destined to become the ultimate goddess and take the highest throne of all. She was to become the Goddess of Gods. Zeus was to be dethroned. It was time for Shelby to do what she was built for once again ... To Endure.
She ended up making a vow, to herself, to end the tyranny of the gods that weren't part of the revolution. She would train harder, work smarter, and watch her son grow, enjoying every small joy until the day came that she had to leave. She thought that within the time given, she could become savvy about how to trick them. She always had her memory wiped clean in her premonitions and became an emotionless killing machine. Somehow, she had to come up with a way to prevent this, but at the same time, she had to, undoubtedly, join their side. There were so many things that could happen that the outcome of her decision was unknown and completely unclear to anyone, and with the Fates missing everyone's fate was unstable and unknown.
She worked with her grandmother, learned many spells during this time, and studied many ways the gods could erase her memories. She was determined to counter their attempts if possible. She came to the conclusion that maybe, if at all doable, she could keep Annabella's memory intact, then if she lost her memories, Annabella could remind her, help her, and guide her. Her biggest fear and worry was losing the memories of Thomas and Alex, her first love and the love of her life.
…
That was 15 years ago, though.
…
The boys weren't little 6-year-old kids anymore. In those 15 years, the boys grew up in the best ways possible, surrounded by love and protected from the dangers of the supernatural world. They were introduced to different species and everyone saw them as little princes. They were to be the new rulers of the supernatural world. It was their destiny`21 to be the Kings of ever species.
Alex, true to wolf nature, got his wolf Kane at 16. Leo received his wolf, Helix, and RJ got his wolf, Jinx. They were new wolves and when they turned 18, everyone got to see how they were the perfect blend of their parent's wolves, just like the boys were a perfect blend of their parents. Kane was a split-colored wolf, half of him was black with snow-looking speckles on his fur, just like Asher, and the other half was blue-tinted white, just like Annabella. The difference was, on the side that looked like Annabella was a beautiful teal-colored eye like Asher's, and on the side that looked like Asher was an icy blue eye just like Annabella. Helix was an ash gray color like Sheena and had red tips like Aztec. The red tips didn't give him away though, he was as stealthy as Sheena. Jinx was more like a tortoise-shell cat, he was Slate's silver-white blended all over with Chloe's fire red. The boy's wolves were as unique as them.
Once the boys turned 16 and gained their wolves, Thomas, James, and Liam started training them, even Damian. Damian had started to get his blood l**t but, surprisingly, was able to handle and control it. Since he was a day walker, he trained with the boys every day. Thomas taught them how to run the pack. They were going to be taking over the pack when they turned 21. Alex was to be Alpha, RJ was to become Beta, and Leo was going to be Gamma. Alex had asked Damian to become his Delta. It will become the first time in werewolf history that a supernatural person, that wasn't a werewolf, will hold a high-ranking seat in any werewolf pack. Alex had said it was only fitting since we were all merging, plus the boys were thick as thieves. Having his three best friends was only fitting. He could trust these guys with his life. His parents started the merge and he would continue it. Damian had accepted and nobody had any objections. Since vampires are immortal, there was no need for him to become their King, unless something were to happen to Daminix. They learned battle strategy with Liam. He taught them many things he had learned over the years and even got Athena and Aries to help. Every summer, the boys would go to the Lycan camp to train with the Lycan warriors in their Lycan forms. They made it a competition. James said his job was to teach them how to relax and have fun. James and Jonas were always taking the boys on camping trips. He let the boys have fun but he was also teaching them survival skills.
When the boys turned 18, they found their mates as well, except for RJ, who had to wait a little longer till his mate turned 18. Alex ended up being fated with his high school girlfriend Bethany. Bethany was a witch that had been born to some of the witches Thomas and Shelby had taken in on that day years ago. She would be the first Luna in history that wasn't a werewolf. RJ was sad for a while but a few months later, he found his mate in our little Rose, Jonas and Lily's daughter. James and Jonas were so freaking excited. Leo was mated to Damian. They had always been close and then they both came out to everyone at 15 and started to date when they were 16. We were all supportive. They couldn't judge because the two people they all loved the most were gay. Joel and Garrick were their backbone. Without them, they surely would have failed to take over. Everyone was just happy that the boys were happy and healthy. Liam was excited the most because he said he was so proud his son had gotten a great warrior as his mate. Jackie just rolled her eyes and shook her head while everyone laughed. Leo blushed, and Damian stuck out his chest so proud of Liam's comment. Damian and RJ could've been brothers, they were both goofy like James.
...
These were all the things Shelby thought about as a tear fell down her cheek. Without a word to anyone and a note left on her dresser, Shelby went out into the woods and waited by the pond. She knew that Apollo was watching her and was obsessed with getting her. She knew that he would come to her. And, he did just that … Shelby was taken without a trace, her memory erased, and her journey to find her way back to her old life began. Will she become the killer she saw in her dreams and stay lost forever? Will the supernaturals be wiped clean from existence? ... Or ... Will she remember who she is and find her way back home? What will happen on her journey? Can anyone help her? Can she become powerful enough to fulfill the prophecy set out before her? So many unanswered questions were laid out in front of her. Hopefully what she has to endure this time doesn't destroy her. If she loses her battle, then not only lives will be lost, but complete species will be wiped out by her hand.
