One day in 2009 in a top-secret lab deep in the woods of an island that wasn't on any radar known to man, four scientists began a job. These scientists came from all over the world with one goal in mind. They had a goal, a lofty goal to perfect the human race. They were working on a serum. This serum was going to change the world as they knew it. Little did they know how right they were.

Using animal DNA from wolves, hawks, mountain lions and polar bears, four different serums were created. Each scientist administered the first dose of their chosen animal to themselves. The effects were immediate, they were stronger, faster, and better equipped for life on this planet, and the scientists were happy with the effects. In 5 years', each serum was duplicated 800 times. Then each of the four scientists went home. Taking 200 vials of each batch home with them.

It took them 10 years to successfully administer all the serum amongst their home country. During this 10-year time the scientists discovered that they didn't know half of what they had done. But by the time they figured it out it was too late. The damage was already done and there was no going back.

Now it's the year 2401 and a new breed of human has taken over the planet. They call themselves Shifters. Shifter's now outnumber humans 5 to 1. They are stronger, faster and have the advantage of their animal side. At first humans outnumbered Shifters 20 to 1, but since shifters live longer than humans and they reproduce faster they quickly caught up. Shifters lived in the shadows for years after they were created. Walking alongside their human counterparts.

In the 2300's a devastating virus took out almost 50% of the human population giving shifters a clear advantage, not long after that the shifters took over, but it was really the best for everyone. The virus altered both the shifters and humans DNA. Half the remaining humans would periodically regress emotionally and developmentally. Another effect of the virus caused humans to grow no taller than 5' 5". Though shifters were already taller than most humans after the virus they grew even taller. Now most shifters grow to around 7' tall, but the most devastating effect of the virus was that most shifters could no longer have children with other born shifters. Though the shifter population still rose it was much harder to have children.

Now nearly 100 years later humans and shifters have found ways to co-exist with each other. That is where my story starts. My name is Ashlynn. I am turning 18 in three days, and I can't wait. At 18 all humans and shifters are evaluated. There are 2 classifications with 7 sub-classifications you could fall under.

The two main classifications are Dominant or Submissive. Most humans fall under the Submissive classification. From there you get categorized into one of the four sub classifications: sub, slave, pet, or little. Then there are Dominants. Most shifter's fall under the classification. From the Dominant classification comes three sub classifications: Dom, Master/Mistress, or Daddy/Mommy. The Master sub classification can be broken down even more for a Master/Mistress for a pet or a Master/Mistress for a slave.

Dominant humans are tasked with repopulation of the humans. Enter my parents Marcus and Delaney Lupo. I am not a Lupo because I don't have a classification. Once I receive my classification I will be sent to a school for my classification where I will be paired with a Dom who will then give me their family name.

Now, back to my parents. The Lupo family line are run by Wolf Shifters who mostly classify as Daddy/Mommy Dominants. My father was trained by a School for Daddy/Mommy Doms and Littles from the Lupo family, while my mother was trained by a School for Master and Slaves from the Lupo family. They met at a get-together for the Lupo family and partitioned the family for permission to marry, and were given one task: produce three children in five years, or be separated to find more "suitable" partners.

Five years passed, and they had only two children. My father was quickly remarried to another, leaving my mother behind. But then, two months after the divorce, she found out she was pregnant with me.

She blamed me for everything.

My father took my older siblings with him, leaving me alone with her. The pregnancy was hard on her body, and after giving birth, she had to have a hysterectomy, making her ineligible to remarry. For the last 17 years and 11 months, she reminded me every single day that I had ruined her life.

I've always been small, even for a human—barely 5 feet tall. My mother refused to let me take the pre-classification tests that most kids my age have already gone through. So now, at 18, I'll be facing the real thing, and I'm not prepared.

By law, anyone under 18 is treated as a Little—the most protected of all submissive categories. Littles, in particular, were once the most common classification, but over time, abuse nearly wiped them out. It was only when the schools started that their numbers grew again, but still, they remain rare.

Now back to me. In three days, I turn 18, and that means a representative from the Lupo family will be coming to take me to the classification center. I'm not exactly in the best shape; my mother has never been able to control her anger. Right now, she's upstairs, packing her things. Why? Well, the truth is, I'm at death's door. After two weeks of barely holding back her rage, my mother finally snapped.

Now, as I lie here, barely clinging to life, she's making her escape. In this world, those who abuse their children are sentenced to death. The laws protecting Littles and minors are stricter than ever—there's no trial, no mercy. My mother knows what's coming, and she's not waiting around for her punishment. She's getting ready to run, leaving me behind.

The young woman lay on the cold floor, her breaths shallow and weak. Time was slipping away from her, just as her strength had. Three days had passed since her mother abandoned her, leaving her to die. She could feel herself fading, the edges of her world growing darker, her will to fight all but gone.

But fate had other plans.

At the door, poised to knock, stood a young wolf shifter. He was unaware of the life hanging by a thread just beyond the threshold—but everything was about to change.
