"A person lives three lives. The first ends with the loss of naivete, the second with the loss of innocence, and the third with the loss of life itself. It is inevitable that we go through all three stages."

Hello everyone! Thank you for clicking on this story, I truly appreciate it! Before we begin, I would like to clarify some things.
1. This is the first time I am writing something that isn't related to school or based on an assignment. In addition, it will be the first time I am writing something in the fantasy/paranormal genre and I don't quite know the entire plot yet for this story so please be kind because I know the story might be a hot mess.
2. Again, this is really a rough draft and because of that, the plot of the story isn't figured out completely yet.
3. This story may have some (or maybe even many) grammatical errors.
4. Sentences written in other languages besides English and Spanish will be directly from Google Translate, so I apologize if there is something translated wrongly. Please correct me if the translation is off!
5. Religion and Greek mythology will be involved. I have to admit that I am not so knowledgeable on these subjects. I do try to do some research before writing something but I know there can be mistakes here and there. There might be some things purposely changed as well.
6. Shapeshifters, lycans in particular, are heavily involved throughout the story. The lycans in this story are individuals who shift into a wolf-like body rather than them shifting into a wolf that stands upright like humans. I chose to refer to these creatures as lycans rather than werewolves because lycan is a shortened version of "lycanthrope," which derives from the ancient Greek words Lykos, which means wolf, and Anthropos, which means human. As previously mentioned, I want to incorporate Greek mythology and folklore as much as possible in this story.
*Wolves, beasts, and lycans will be terms that are used interchangeably throughout the story*
7. Yes, there are mates in this story. Selene, the goddess of the moon, created the concept of mates along with Artemis and Hecate; all three are considered lunar goddesses. The goddesses are all involved in the union of these creatures.
8. Packs will not have names such as Blue Moon Pack or the Dark Shadow Pack (no shade to writers who use these sorts of names in stories).
9. Angels and demons will be involved in this story. Each will have a distinct hierarchy, with each class of angels and devils having a unique set of duties. Moreover, I must point out that the angels in my story are a flawed group of species. They can be cold, arrogant, disrespectful, and downright assholes to humans and other supernatural beings. They are soldiers of God's will and wrath, hunting out and punishing sinners and wicked creatures who would hurt, corrupt, and prey upon humans despite the fact that they are primarily benevolent.
10. This story contains mature and triggering subjects such as abuse (emotional, mental, or physical), rape, substance abuse, violence, etc.
11. Please know that any picture, video, or song I post is not my own. They were simply searched on the web.
12. There will be a Spotify playlist for this story. The first song will start in the prologue and it is called, "Long Time Travelin'" by Anna & Elizabeth. Chapters will typically only have one song, but there may be occasions where two or more songs will be tied to a chapter and I will tell you all when that occasion rises.
13. Please, do not try to copy my story and label it as your own. Use some big-brain energy and create something on your own without copying or directly stealing the ideas of others. Be smart about what you do.
14. Lastly, if you don't like my story, I'm sorry :( Please don't leave rude comments. If you don't like this story after reading a bit then don't continue to torture yourself by reading more. I am learning how to create stories, I am an amateur at this!
