(Before you comment, YES I KNOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE NEW JURASSIC PARK MOVIE THAT'S WHAT IT'S BASED ON!!! I think thisll be a fun approach to it, and it won't be exactly like the movies! Based on doesnt mean copied! Now that that's out of the way, enjoy the story. *tips hat*)
The supernatural species, all of them, were wiped out years ago. Or so everyone thought. In reality, there were some left, in an government testing lab. They'd been there since all the others of there species were wiped out, but the government saved some to test and see if they could gain anything from these creatures. They were kept contained for 2 years, before there was a breach. The sirens ganged up on there keeper. One got up on land, flipped some switches, and they all escaped through a duct under the water. They ended up breaking most of the system, which is how all the other creatures got out. At the time of the breach, there were 4 vampires, 3 werewolves, 3 sirens, 3 fairies and 4 shape shifters. The government kept there escape under wraps, only letting certain people know and search for them.
It's been 5 decades since then, and the populations have multiplied greatly. They have expanded to the whole world adapting to the harsh conditions where need be. To quote a recent news cast here,
"It's been 5 decades since they escaped, and they aren't going away soon. The sirens dominate and control the water, while the vampires wolves fairies and shifters control the land. They roam free, angry. Don't harbor a supernatural, adult child or infant. If it's an injured animal leave it, it could be a werewolf or a shape shifter. These creatures are dangerous, and highly lethal when hungry. Starshine Labs has offered a sanctuary for these creatures, and they are testing to see if they can live with us peacefully."
Starshine Labs isn't the hero it pretends to be. But we'll get to that later, for now enjoy our history. Told through the eyes of many souls that were caught in crossfire.

[2024 WATTYS Shortlist] Academia is a different beast all together when a university is run by werewolves and your new dean is a literal Alpha. * * *
At twenty-five, Barlow Milligan is looking forward to starting her first job after grad school as an Assistant Professor at the prestigious Packard University. Little does she count on the quaint, upstate New York school being controlled by two rival packs of werewolves.
Luckily, the secretive factions have made peace, at least for now, through the promised union of Clayton Ward, Alpha of Allegheny pack and Gemma Calhoun, daughter of the leader of Black River pack.
That is, until Clayton sets his sights on making newcomer Barlow his Luna, instead.
But Barlow doesn't know how to control her wolf, nor has she ever been in a pack outside of her family before. Can she learn to fit in and more importantly, can she avoid being the cause of an all-out pack war?
