In the verdant, uncharted lands before European explorers set foot, three esteemed familiesthe Kanuho, Tapaha, and Secateroruled a tight-knit community. Sworn by a sacred oath to protect their homeland, the leaders of these families sought to preserve the sanctity of their soil. Lacking in supernatural power but rich in determination and loyalty, the Alpha of the Kanuho and his closest advisors embarked on a perilous journey to enlist the help of a legendary four-hundred-year-old witch. Granted a potent potion crafted from the hearts of fearsome black wolves, the men underwent a transformation that bestowed upon them extraordinary abilities: their eyes shimmered silver, their bodies doubled in strength and size, and their senses sharpened beyond human limits.
They gained superhuman strength, astonishing speed, and the profound ability to commune mentally with their spirit animal, the wolf. To ensure these powers would serve their descendants in the ongoing protection of their land, they requested one final addition to their potionthe guarantee that these abilities would pass to their firstborn sons.
The witch agreed, but at a price: each elder and their successors must bond with a single, lifelong mate to perpetuate their powerful lineage. This enchanting legacy, intertwined with love and duty, set the stage for centuries of guardianship and mystical bonds that would defend their sacred land against all threats.
