Edvard

I'm a typical man. I have wants, needs, desires, goals and ambitions. I have a loving family and a business I work very hard at. My company, despite being in it's infancy, is thriving. I have a great crew that is quick and efficient. They understand each other and what needs done with little needing to be said. It helps I'm sure that they each have advanced skills that make them more efficient. My name in Edvard. My parents are from Scottland, but I was born in America and Im a shifter. My crew are all shifters. Not all shifters are werewolves. There are four guys other then me who work in my crew. I have my right hand man, Collin. I've know him  since I was a lad. He and his family are your traditonal wolfe shifter's. They left there pack because his father fell in love with a human and mated with her. Then theres Jason, I met him in Highschool, when his family moved here. He's a Grim shifter. There a canine the size of a bear. It's actually cool to see him shift. His family never had a pack. They were nomads until his brother litterly bumped into my sister in the woods. After that they settled here and gave up there nomad lifestyle. Jason has taken well to pack life, so has his brother but his parents get antsey from time to time. When that happens they go on extended trips around the world. The longest they've been gone is a year. They call every day though and check in with one of their children. Then there's Aron. He's very diffrent, he's quiet but he works just as hard as anyone I know. He'd do anything for me or someone he care's for. He's definatly not someone you want to be on the bad side of. He's a Longma, its a horse sized creature with scales like a fish and wings. In olden times people mistaked them for dragons, so unfortuinatly there very rare. There are three or four family's left in the world, as far as we know. Aron's family found us by reputation. They were looking for somewhere safe when they heard of our pack, and our acceptance of anything diffrent. So they fled from England and searched until they found us. None of his family will talk about the reason they fled, so his history is a mystery. Then there's Gavin. Gavin is like a brother to me. His Mother in my aunt, so were kinda stuck with each other. He's a goofball. If you want to have a good laugh he's the one to do it. His mother fell in love with a boy in a panther family as they were passing through. His family didn't approve of the match so they gave him a choice, my aunt or his family. He chose my aunt and hasn't mentioned them since. My uncle Jack is just like Gavin, the goofball of the group. I'm an Animal shifter. I can shift into any animal I understand. There are limitations, if I dont understand the animal completely I can get stuck between human and the animal and its hard to get back and painful.

     My pack is very diffrent from what most people think of when they think of a pack. We don't have an Alpha. We have a president. Canidates are nominated by the pack and go through many diffrent rigerous tests to see if they not only have the power but inteligence, intelect, and stamena to lead our misfit pack. The length of the term is decided on by the pack. For instance my dad started this pack shortly before I was born. He was the first president and stayed in office for 10 years before the pack decided to present a challenger. Both my dad and the challenger took the tests. It was a close race but my dad won in the end, meaning he's still president. In truth my dad wishes someone younger with fresh ideals would come along and run. He loves his job but hes ready for a change.

     My pack is diffrent in another way. We accept all kinds of people, not just shifts. Alot of packs will not let our kind cross breed or mix with human. Part of the reason my dad started this pack is because he fell in love with a human, my mom. His pack shunned him and tryed to kill her, she has scars on her back and arms to prove it. He wanted somewhere safe for them to live and raise a family. Since that didnt exist he created our pack and named it Haven, so outsiders would know they have somewhere safe to turn. We have all types of shifter, other then what I already mentioned. So why do I tell you all this? So I can tell you my story. Tell you how my life changed just by stopping to get my morning coffee.
