Chapter One
My father was the Alpha King before my brother ascended the throne two decades ago. My brother's mother and father's true mate had passed when my brother was still a child. It was during an attempted coup that the Luna Queen sacrificed herself for the royal pack and realm. My father was a broken man, unable to cope with the loss of his mate.
However, the moon goddess came to him, and for his unwavering dedication to her and her children, promised to bless him with a second chance, mate. There was, however, a catch. The Moon Goddess made my father promise that he would not reject the pairing under any circumstances and that he must be patient.
The appearance of his second chance mate would not be immediate but when the time was right. The Moon Goddess is mysterious but calculated in her actions. He promised that he would never even consider rejecting the mate bestowed upon him through her will.
During this period in supernatural history, witches and werewolves were not exactly on good terms. My father, the Alpha King, is immortal, as is his mate and children; however, murderous treachery could still bring about their demise, just not easily. It takes a lot to kill immortals in the supernatural world. Witches were also blessed with this immortality. Nevertheless, after centuries of misunderstandings, jealousy, and betrayal on both sides, werewolves and witches had a severely strained coexistence. Fate, however, had other plans.
My father waited a decade before the Moon Goddess fulfilled her promise to him. Relations between all the realms had somewhat stabilized. Some disagreements could and did lead to wars at times. For the most part, though, the royals of each kingdom cooperated to better the supernatural realm. Diplomacy was needed to ensure that humans within the mortal realm did not threaten our collective coexistence.
Annual meetings of all the mystical realms resulted from their efforts and would bring together all supernatural beings from all over the magical realm. Understanding and tolerance had allowed the supernatural world to improve relations, however old bias and outdated traditions still bread prejudice.
During one of these meetings, the Alpha King met my mother, his second chance mate. She was the Witch Queens seconded or what we consider to be a Beta in the werewolf world. My mother was also a Coven Mother to one of the largest covens in the realm.
My parents say that the mate bond sent them and the werewolf and witch domains on a collision course. My mother added the title of Luna Queen to her resume. She was also to remain the Witch Queens second, for it was a position for life or until your heir or chosen heir takes over the role.
My father, Alpha Zion, and half-brother, Marcus, adored my mother. He had always said that he would have fallen for my mother whether there was a mate bond or not. She is a petite witch about 5'3" with extremely curly long light purple hair, magenta eyes, and mocha-colored skin.
Although my father was a handsome wolf king, my mother was resistant to the bond, but he had won her over. However, working towards accepting a witch as the Queen of the werewolf realm proved to be challenging. However, eventually, fate and the majority of the werewolf realm favored my parent's union.
