Lycanthrope was thought to have emerged in the early 15th century; some would say it spread through Europe all through the 16th century and so on and so forth. When I was a little girl my father used to tell me the story of King Arthur and his brave knights how he loved Guinevere and how she betrayed him. You see King Arthur was a werewolf he was king, and Guinevere was said to be Queen of the vampires. The story humans know is differently fabricated to keep the truth hidden. The king was betrayed by his lover, his knights and everything he knew was torn away from him. It's said Camelot was burned to the ground and Guinevere died in the flames. King Arthur was said to have disappeared, amongst the chaos- never to be seen or heard from again. One can be sure though, if ever the danger that tore his kingdom apart returned, he would be there to exact his revenge." the words left my mouth before I had a chance to breathe the assignment was folklore and legends, to research myths and come up with probable evidence as to why that specific legend is real.

"Thank you for that uh, interesting theory Sapphire now please sit down." Mrs. Jones never did like my theories with a sigh I returned to my seat defeated.

History has never been my favorite subject especially when nobody believes you about your favorite things. I love lycanthrope and the idea of werewolves, it's such an interesting topic of discussion but nobody believes me that werewolves are real! I swear they are, I've seen them before.

I can hear the whispers around me as I walk through the hallway, I can feel the pointing the staring. It's almost like they enjoy it laugh at the weird girl, point at her make her feel like she doesn't belong.

I'm cut from my thoughts when I feel something cold and wet? I look up and see her. Bethany Taylor pouring her water on my head, a gasp escapes my lips as her friends and everyone around her starts laughing.

"What's the matter Saph, cat got your tongue or was it the werewolves again?" Her friends push me against the locker my head whipping back into it as they walk away. My vision blurs as I see a figure walking towards me with a sway in its step, I look up and see the most beautiful pair of green eyes I've ever laid eyes on.

Her hand reaches out to me helping me up just as I'm about to turn and walk away I heard her for the first time speak. "Are you okay?" I'm unable to speak as my vision finally clears, standing in front of me is none other than the beautiful Serena Smith.  Her smile makes my legs tremble and I'm unable to form words. She's speaking to me Serena Smith is speaking to me.

" I. Well I.." She giggles at my nervousness. Great she'll probably make fun of me like everyone else.

I look up at her as she says, "You know, just because someone doesn't believe in the same things you do, doesn't mean that everyone doesn't." frozen in place at her words I can feel the blush forming over my cheeks. She giggles again and dusts me off.

"Don't let them get to you okay? Keep your chin up Sapphire." She knows my name, I could scream if I wasn't frozen right now. Why can't I move, ughh! Before I know it, she's left me standing here, but not before waving goodbye. I'm left shocked that she spoke to me.

With a little extra effort, I managed to pry myself from the spot and rush off to my locker in hopes of getting home in one piece.

Serena's Pov:

That bitch Bethany did not just dump water all over my mate’s beautiful head. She's lucky I don't rip her apart right now. After helping Sapphire up, I found Bethany changing in the girls’ locker room.

Pushing her against the locker, "What did I tell you Beth, stay away from her or so help me God...." my wolf wasn't happy with her. We could smell the fear drip off her as my canines extend, the anger ripped off me my beast, trying to escape to rip her apart.

Beth cowers in front of me a small whimper escapes her lips." "I'm sorry alpha I.. My wolf can't help it. She's just a human, you could do so much better." At that my had grips her throat as I lift her up, my Beta Alara places her hand on my shoulder and whispers to me. " Alpha, you know she's not worth it? Sapphire is safe and I'm sure Bethany won't do it again."

I feel her head drop as she nods her head repeatedly gasping for air. With a final warning I get down to her level on the floor. "There won't be a next time because if you or your friends touch her, I promise, nobody, not even your father, will keep me from tearing you apart." She nods, whimpering with each word.

I stand, leaving with Alara in tow and it amazes me how wise and smart Sapphire is she's not wrong. Werewolves do exist, we just hide in plain sight. My name is Serena Smith- the young, beautiful Alpha werewolf. Sapphire is my mate. We're destined to be together by the Moon Goddesses decree and I'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
