How old are the characters?
Abraham is 3 at the beginning of CLH. He is 12 when he joins Wolf’s Retreat. He is 18 when he graduates. Isaac and Abraham are the same age. These are the most important ages. (Ages 5 and 10, for example, are just different times through the story.)
Harry is in his mid 30’s. Louis is in his late 20’s. Zayn is mid 30’s, Liam as well.
How do the characters age?
There is a reason I never mentioned ages in the adults. Unfortunately we are human and sometimes have a hard time seeing past what is told to us. Example: If I say Harry is sixty years old –you will picture a grey-haired, old looking Harry. In my story, the characters PHYSICALLY age very slowly. This is a different universe and so age is a number of experience rather than age. Wolves & half-wolves are very healthy and live much longer than humans. Adaption. Louis and Harry have a lot of time to continue having children, and have not aged very much compared to the kids. I could go on and on with ages and explain exactly how I see them in my head but it is just too complicated. Devi, the man who Harry stayed with, is the oldest character mentioned. He is at least 160-170 years old, but is still fully functioning –just old.
Example: Abraham is 10 –five years pass and he is 15 (PHYSICALLY). BUT, he has only aged about 2 years. If you DON’T get it, don’t worry. Everyone is young and healthy.
How old is Matthew?
Matthew, in my little world, is 28 when Harry is 17. 11 year difference. Matthew is NOT old, as many of you think. Harry is around 34-35 (let’s say), which means Matthew is 45-46 years old. AGAIN, age is experience, NOT in physical age. Physically, Matthew and Harry would probably look the same –in muscle and health. My baby is NOT old so please!
-So why does Issac call him eldri? (Senior)
It is out of pure respect. Isaac would NOT call just anyone eldri. He loves Matthew and knows him. It is almost like a nick-name.
What does Matthew look like?
Matthew and Abel are dark-skinned. Matthew has darker skin than Abel. It is rare for them to have that skin color and be born in Alaska. They are considered a rarity in a sense. Matthew has a lot of tattoos, but not many scars. His skin is very clean, something also rare especially since he’s been in battle. He has bright blue eyes and long eyelashes. His hair is short. He is tall (taller than Harry), skinny but with plenty of muscle. He has sharp canines when he smiles and is beautiful. His character is pretty much perfect. Wolves love him not just because he’s an amazing leader but he is really beautiful. He sticks out like a sore thumb and they find it to be lovely –plus his features. My child.
Why in the hell is everyone named after someone in the bible?
Because I love the bible. I love the stories, I have always found them interesting. Because I love their names and I love that they all have meanings. The names I pick for OC’s have meaning or relate to the bible stories. Example: Solomon was a rich king but he was also very wise so of course I would pick him as Abraham’s tutor.
What is Pre-bonding?
This will be explained in the story but I’ll explain it here too. Bonding, in my world, is the act of biting one another. It creates a blood-related bond, a long lasting bond. Harry bit Louis and Louis bit him back. Blood is transferred and it’s a little creepy but that is a bond in my book. They have each other inside one another and on each other’s skin. So, what is pre-bonding? No biting, but there is blood. It is a private ritual, like a mini version of courting. They appreciate all of the Elements BUT only ONE gift is given and the pair will have to ask EARTH, specifically, for its blessing. They will transfer blood, by means of knife or whatever, and will keep close during that week. NO sex is allowed, if it happens then there is no way that you are going to get a blessing. This is obviously something that is taught and would be considered (to us) superstition. I’ll explain it more in the story.
Isaac’s heat & Abraham’s rut?
In my story, heat happens to omegas 18 or older. It is normal for it to happen when you turn 18 but there are late bloomers. Rut is the same. Isaac and Abraham are pre-bonded, they are a couple, so their heat/rut slowly link up. Isaac experiences pre-heat, it’s normal, and if Abraham would have been near him then he would have went into rut. Because he was not, Isaac was able to calm his heat but eventually it will come back. If Abraham is not there, Isaac will be able to calm it again and slowly learn how to control his heats (like every other omega his age) –same for Abby with his ruts. But, because they are together (and will be close to each other) their heat/rut should be at the same time. This is confusing, I will try explaining it in the story.
Will there be underage sex? (Abraham/Isaac specifically)
No. I am still struggling on whether to write sex for them at all because I will always see them as children so it is difficult. Isaac does mention, when he is like 14-15, that he wants to do more with Abraham but nothing explicit will be written while they are underage. It will be mentioned. I just think it’s very normal to have these thoughts as a teenager and so I wrote them.
Why can Abraham transform?”
Louis is a direct-line. Direct-lines are direct descendants of full-breeds. It should NOT be strong enough to reach Abraham. If anything, Louis should be able to change. But, it did reach him and it is ONLY because of Louis’ full-bred grandmother.
Is Abraham’s wolf white?”
No. Artic wolves are white. In my story, Iceland/Greenland are not as cold as Alaska. The wolves in Iceland, Liam, are brownish-black but mostly brown. Greenland, where Zayn is from, is also not considered Artic. He is a black wolf. Harry is Artic but Harry is not Abraham’s biological father so he would not be white. Abby is brownish-black, due to Louis’ grandmother. Not CJ, not Louis’ grandfather nor Louis’ mother. It is solely because of Louis’ grandmother.
If I missed something or you are confused, let me know. If you have more questions, I will probably make another chapter dedicated to Questions and Answers.
