The seven kingdoms known as Azaria was home to werewolves ,vampires, goblins, fairies, witches, mermaids and the lycanthropes which were the most powerful. The lycanthropes had immense strength and power and were feared by other creatures. Azaria was ruled with an iron fist by king Jared , the most powerful lycan ever known or so they thought .He was hungry for power and would do anything to be at the top of the food chain . Golden wolves were the most pure mythical beings who for years have been hunted and killed for their blood which had the power to heal any affliction , bring the dead back to life and above all, make anyone who ingests their blood a thousand times more powerful than any being .For this, they were hunted and explored for selfish reasons. Golden wolves are only born as females . King Jared passed a decree that any female wolf born in the kingdom should be brought to him before their first change at ten years old and they were sent back to their families if they turn out not to be a golden wolf. Three golden wolves have been born in azaria and none survived past their first change. For more than 50 years, no golden wolf have been born in azaria until the witch Alana who was a powerful seer saw in a dream the birth of a golden wolf with fur as bright as gold and eyes as white as snow. The kingdom was in an uproar ,especially king Jared who was immensely ill with an unknown disease. He had the seer Alana brought to him in chains asking about the exact time , day and year the child in question is going to be born. Alana had no answers for she knew not. King jared was deteriorating at a fast pace ,he could barely move his limbs and he was as thin as a twig ,he could feel life slipping out of him and though he was known as a tyrant , he loved his son prince Damon immensely . All the witches and healers couldn’t help him as they didn’t know the source of his ailment and they feared he wouldn’t last a week. James and Mary Miller were average werewolves. They lived a quiet life away from everyone. They had little or no friends and hardly socialized. They were only seen during pack gatherings and meetings. Mary was pregnant and was due anyday now but she feared birthing a daughter knowing she couldn’t bear to give her away . Mary went into labour at exactly 11.30pm during a full moon and she birthed her daughter Alexia mae accompanied by her husband and bestfriend Anna. Alexia mae was born with a full head of long beautiful golden tresses and silver eyes capable of enchanting any being .Mary burst into tears on seeing her beautiful child and knew immediately she was a golden wolf. James was devastated and didn’t know what to do but he knew he would rather die than give up his daughter to the lycan king. After a long thought , he made a suggestion to Mary and they decided to curb her gender and make her live as a man .Mary agreed as there was no other way to protect their daughter and she made her bestfriend promise to keep her gender a secret. After two days, king Jared died and little prince Damon had to grow up quickly under the guidance of the council and Elders.

Eighteen years later
My alarm goes off waking me up to the chirping of birds and smell of freshly brewed coffee which was a routine. I sign and hit the off button slightly too hard .I was not a morning person ,the only upside is that today was my last day in high school .Going to school as a girl disguised as a boy was hell ,I was bullied for being fresh faced , skinny ,tall and pretty. I was known as the pretty loser and couldn’t wait to graduate and become a pastry chef. I loved baking and making new recipes which is a trait I got from my beautiful mother .
I stretched my muscles and my beautiful golden hair cascaded down my back . I loved my waist length hair which I was able to convince my mum to let me keep. My hair grew at an abnormal rate as I have tried cutting them shorter since I was young but they grew back after few hours.
I hurriedly picked up my short wig from the floor which must have fallen off during my acrobatic sleeping positions. I was a careless sleeper.
I took a quick bath and one thing I dreaded the most was hiding my full bosoms in strings and wrap arounds to make them look flat. I was blessed in looks, I had full breasts and wide hips with a sizeable bum. My dad is my biggest fan who praised me for my beauty and wished I didn’t have to hide it from the world.
I sprayed the portion that masks my scent and gives me that of a man. My parents spends a lot of money every month getting the portion from the witches.
On getting to school, I am faced with a crowd of people and I silently make my way through.I go to the admins office for my admission letter into the best culinary school in azaria.
Good morning Mrs.Pierce , I greeted. She was short and plump with the brightest smile.
Hello dear, I have your letter here and congratulations pretty one said Mrs. Pierce
I thanked her and left the office. On getting to my locker , I saw all kinds of scribblings and trash on my locker. I signed and proceeded to open when a bag of flour and eggs landed on me . I turned back and saw Tristan and his group of dogs laughing uncontrollably.This is my gift to you as an upcoming Pastry chef says Tristan.I looked around and saw the stares, some with pity, some with disdain and others with pure excitement. I packed my stuff and left hurriedly. Tristan is the son of my packs Alpha and as such he is deemed untouchable.
I walk around town and go by the shops. I sight a pretty red dress with an halter neck and stare longingly hoping one day I can wear such clothes. I go to my work place where I work part time called ‘Annie’s Bakes’. It is owned by a 55 year old woman and her husband. They treat me like their own and Annie thought me everything about pastries.
“Hello stacy! I greeted the sassy brunette, she’s my only friend and such a big talkactive . Stacy was a ray of sunshine to everyone around her and the most loyal.
“my pretty boy come to mama!’says Stacy as she pulls me to her in a bone crushing hug.
‘You are so handsome Alex, if only I were into men , I would have nabbed you!’Stacy says teasingly. I laughed boisteriously and brushed her off as it was her daily mantra.
The bakery is usually not busy in the evenings as compared to mornings and lunch hour.A young and attractive couple walks in and immediately catch my eye ,they a sit close to the window and become totally immensed in each other,they flirt and laugh lovingly ,gazing at each other with love filled eyes,it doesn’t take a soothsayer to know they are destined mates.Ihave always wanted and dreamed of my mate after mymum told me about the moon goddess and fated mates when I was six. Werewolves usually get mated at eighteen. I turned eighteen three weeks ago and I have always known getting a mate is near to impossible for me because who would want a mate disguised as a man? And I wasn’t like other wolves, according to my parents ,I was very special and unique. After my shift, I headed home.
How was your day Sweetie, did you get your admission letter’? asked my mother while serving my favorite food ‘mac n cheeese’’
‘Yes mum, where is dad? I asked
‘oh ,he is still at the construction site for the new library! My mum says.
Dad has been working late often these days and I heard it’s because of our king who wants a new library in the town square.
“you are so beautiful and all mine, he kissed my lips hard and pulled me towards him by my waist . I woke up in sweats , hot and bothered. I have had this same dream every night since I turned eighteen. The face of the man is unknown and he always claims me which ends up with me all wet and bothered.
‘could he be my mate,? Maybe the moon goddess is trying to give me a sign that my mate is out there.
