[Proper description to follow. For now, have the prologue:]

At first, there were only the stars.
Through the pressure of eons, they hardened, became life, and essence of life, und thus, the gods were made.
The myths of creation speak at length about the collision of The Father of the Mountain, and the Goddess of all Waters, their fights and warfare that made continents and mountains, and their love, that made the wet and fertile earth.

They rarely speak of the third god of creation, if they know of them at all.

They were unseen, elusive in their double nature. 
A single being, made of twins that would not part, brother wind and sister air, bound in their eternal dance.
The Twin of Skies was there long before the Father of Mountains was born, long before the Goddess of all Waters condensed into existence, and they were meant to be there still, when all was gone again.
However, they would not.

They had been tricked, trapped within the mortal shells of the last of the beings that could bear their presence, their own children, the children of the sky, the winged folk who were not angels, but birds.
Unknowing, the very last of their race now imprisoned their god deep within them, killing them slowly, condensing the essence of a double soul older than the stars itsself, drip by drip, into something a single foolish human wished to drink.
Drop, by steady drop.
Soon, the process would be complete, and when finally The Twin of Skies was no more, the world also would come to its end.

This is the future, set and sealed. 

There has been a time for heros to appear, a time where the world might still have been saved.
But that time has long passed.
Now, all that is left to decide is the manner of this worlds destruction, and how many years will be left until all is done.

However, the end is not yet upon us.
 
There is still time for a tale.

So let me tell you of gods and men and all races and creatures in between, and see for yourself, what is to come.

Decades. He'd wasted decades of his life doing what? Chasing the minuscule sparks of passion to ease the aching void in his chest? Wasn't there something better? Someone to guide him away from the misery? Distract him from the life he couldn't escape from? There were days he didn't know which way was up and where the sea began. Where the skies collided with the dirt and delved into the inferno of the hells. The whispers of creatures that should have had no interest in a mortal caressing the shell of his ears. Beings he believed to be just as mortal as himself and if one observed their flaws they might have been. Walking the city grounds and sailing the oceans as easily as anyone. Blockades of fire and ice prevented their hands from intertwining. Now he balanced atop the wall. Grabbing both with shaky arms and keeping them close. Please don't leave. Fangs and claws used to claim him. Gentle kisses and caresses to calm him. Breathless words pulled him deeper into the madness. Further into inky darkness speckled with blinding light. Granting him everything he never knew he'd wanted. A dream come reality. Strange how love could spark from pain. How fickle. And how much he only wanted more. ((Heelloooo, thanks for clicking. :3 Its been quite a bit since I've written anything but I wanted to try something new. Been into making my own novels and stories and this ones an au based around the chars of my current works. This is gonna be a m/m story. Well theres three of them but who doesnt love a love triangle.

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.

Running. Escaping. Surviving. My life has always been a chase. And now? The hunter has finally caught up. After years on the run, everything changed the moment I met him...the one they all feared. The Hybrid Alpha. I was done running. Exhausted from hiding from my past. So I stopped. I surrendered. But surrender came with a price... separation from my twin, Alpha Kane and a forced bond with a mate I never asked for. Taken to a strange pack, trapped by fate and boredom, my only distraction becomes the one male I swore I wouldn't fall for. Xavious. He's distant. Dangerous. A mystery wrapped in muscle and power. And yet... there's something about him that pulls me in, no matter how hard I resist. I know I'll run again. I have to. But part of me wonders... what if I stay? Question to the unknown: how long will they run in circles? How long will they ignore the attraction? Most importantly how long before they realise they've fallen in love? Will it be too late?... ~~~~ "Tell me you don't feel something...between us." "I d-don't." He replies instantly clenching his jaw. "Good to know Xavious." I turn to get up but he stops me as usual. "I don't know what it is..." "It's nothing. Nothing Xavious. You walk like a brick wall whose not affected by anything or anyone." Before I could heave a breath he somehow managed to pull me under him. I gasp at his fast movement amazed by his powers yet again. He trails his fingers down my shoulders to my curved hips as I place my palms on his hard yet smooth chest. Instantly his eyes close as if savouring the moment as does mine. "I could've taken you whenever I would've pleased but I didn't" He says in a husky voice. "Prove it." A steamy, supernatural game of cat-and-mouse between reluctant mates. A love that's hunted, resisted... and ultimately inevitable. WARNING: MATURE SCENES. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. Now undergoing edits-thank you for your patience! Enjoy, lovelies ❤️

"why the fuck did you go on a date with him? he is not even your type!!" he growls. "so what? he is friendly and nice to me" I replied confidently. "NO, HE IS NOT NICE!!! he wants you because you're....beautiful" he said looking directly in my eyes! "Viaan! stop being so annoying...and let me go! he is waiting for me" I said. As I was about to leave, he held my hands and in a millisecond I was pinned to his car. I was shocked by this action of his. He never behaved like this but today he was in different mood. "What a-are you d-doing?" I said. We were so close that our lips were almost touching and then he bends towards my neck and kiss it. I swear that feeling was so amazing... I loved it but I didn't show it on my face, but then he looked at me with his dark brown eyes, and stared at me for a couple of seconds. "If you didn't leave for home right now! I will kiss the fuck out of you, until you become breathless" he said in his deep voice without breaking the eye contact. Honestly that was hot....but this is not the time for this. "And why are you suddenly so interested in my personal life? Are you jealous of Abhay?" I said without looking at him. "Do not try me! I said go home!!" I sensed that he is angry. "Oh yeah? don't try you? what will you do Mr. Raghuvanshi?" I said in a sarcastic way. To which he smirked. and said "don't ask for something you can't handle baby" What did he just say.....Baby? "I'm not your baby". "Are you sure?" he smirked again. Why the hell he's keep doing that. .........

'No, he didn't'. I was so shocked by the turn of events. Everything was going fine and then suddenly boom, everything turned upside down. I just couldn't believe this. What did he think of himself? 'Leave me alone.' I said firmly but his hold on me was so strong. I was struggling to get out of his bear hold but to no avail. 'Oh!! So, the poor lady thinks that I will leave her alone and just let her go free?' He had that evil laugh and boy, his breath stank. 'Man, you just signed your death warrant and I will do one favour on you.' No one messes with me. 'Ooooh, I am so scared that I almost peed my pants.' Again that idiotic laugh. I counted till 5 and then kicked right in his balls. I turned around and grabbed his hair from roots, jerked them so badly and then gave my hard elbow shot on his chin. Everything happened so fast for one moment he was standing and the other lying on floor wiggling. I charged at him with my cheetah speed, picked up a wooden rod and started hitting him wildly, 'You idiotic stinky breath was trying to steal my backpack. You are so dead.' 'Favour, favour, favour.' He was screaming in pain just after few seconds and was panting hard. I picked my paste from my bag and threw at him, 'Brush your teeth.' I was fuming. I turned around and saw him standing wide-eyed, 'Hi, I am Scarlett.' I smiled showing my 32 teeth. 'I am scared.' His look puzzled me.
