the alpha

The abyss, a dark, cold place. Seemingly floating over it all is a figure in a dark cloak, bright wings like a broken angel's, glowing eyes in the same shade of light blue as the wings. The figure began to speak in a voice so kind you would think anyone would trust it, but it held a threat that no one but itself could predict.

" The beginning of the race of humans caused the emergence of a completely separate species. The bridge between man and beast. The werewolf. A human that could shift into the form of a wolf." Two swords appeared in the darkness, one a bright turquoise and the other a deep red.

The cloaked figure continued,

"They were nearly perfect, save for their lack of society. Fights were breaking out all over the world." The swords swung through the air with surprising speed and the force of an avalanche. Clang! "Then came the alphas, one for each pack. The power to control the will of their wolves and stop the fights." Clang! "They also had one particular power that spread fear throughout the world, the power to turn humans into werewolves." CLANG! The swords dissipated in a shower of sparks. "A direct bite from an alpha would result in three days of the human's body breaking and reforming, while an indirect bite... would form an unbreakable bond between the two as the human slowly morphed into a werewolf. Both are excruciating. And both are dangerous."

A bottle of a clear, blue liquid appeared. "An alpha has a full power form, a huge, monstrous version of a wolf form. It is the most powerful being known on the planet," The bottle tipped, slowly, slowly, slowly until it's contents pooled onto some sort of floor in the abyss. "After that short burst of extreme power, the mind of the alpha becomes twisted and ruined. The power is far too great for any being to comprehend, and the absence of it breaks the mind of those who hold it." a dark, wolfish figure stepped out of the pool, merely a silhouette. "The one thing echoed through the ranks of alphas even after all this time was that you NEVER used your full power until you were ready to give up the things you loved most. Because an alpha has never come back from their full power. EVER." The wolf's eyes snapped open and revealed brightly glowing blue orbs. ever.

a/n: just to let everyone know! The rest of the story doesn't suck this bad! The prologue was just meant to tell the audience more about the universe this takes place in. The actual story is in modern times and is way better quality writing I swear.
