The Fated

Prologue

Everyone thought they were gone. Destroyed. Extinct. But they were always there. The Fated were always there.
 
After war broke out between The Fated and the hunters, there was no turning back. No second thoughts about what would happen. The hunters thought that they were successful in defeating them, but they weren't.

Ariel Reynolds is one of The Fated. An ultimate shifter, who can turn into anything she desires. Her family has been in hiding for many years now, as well as the others.

Daxton Grey is the Alpha to the Crimson Wood Pack. He thinks that The Fated are gone as well. At least, until he meets one himself.
Now, you would think that it would be nice to finally meet your mate and future Luna. Well, that's not exactly what happened.

The large black and grey wolf turned in circles trying to find where I had disappeared to. I tried my hardest to focus on masking my scent, I don't want him to find me. I watch him sniff the air, the ground, and the plants around him hoping to pick up a scent. He starts moving closer to me, not looking up from the ground. Suddenly he turns around searching in the opposite direction.

"Ooh I like his wolf... He's very attractive" Briar purrs in my head. Ugh gross, quit it.

"Briar! Shut up! You're distracting me from masking my scent" I reply quickly, calming her down for a moment but then she goes back to pacing. Stupid fox.

"I heard that" I rolled my eyes at her before looking back out at the wolf. He is still here. When will this guy give up?!

It's getting later and the wolf still hasn't left, I don't know what his problem is. He keeps smelling everything, trying to find something, I'm not even sure it's me anymore. He whimpers suddenly and falls to the ground putting his head in between his giant paws. He closes his eyes slowly and continues to whine, like he was hurting or something. He looks so sad I just wanna-

Before I can stop myself, a quiet whine leaves my mouth. Great. Way to go Briar.

"I'm sorry I can't help it I want to help him. I don't like him being sad. Make him happy. Go. Go make him happy. ARIEL GO TO HIM!" Briar yells at me. Why is she getting so worked up about this... It's just some random wolf. Ughhh...

"No Briar I am not going to him. Okay? Get yourself together and stop freaking out. I don't want to go to him" I yell back at her. I hear her whimper so I block her out. She can be so annoying sometimes.

I'm brought back out of my thoughts my a snapping sound in front of me. I look forward and immediately jump back in surprise. In front of me is the wolf bowing down onto its front two paws, his head cocked to the side staring at me intently. He moves a little bit closer resulting in me scooting backwards. He stops, so I stop. He keeps staring at me, while I try to find an escape.

All of the sudden a voice in my head, deep and husky breaks through the silence.

"Mate"

Oh hell no.
