“Vampires are a threat to humans and werewolves protect humans. My mouth hung open at his admission to cursing our kind and reducing our population. Now, the werewolves are on the brink of extinction and the balance is being threatened.” We only wanted to teach them a lesson, to respect Mother Earth and all of her inhabitants. We did not foresee that our curse would reduce the population of the werewolves so quickly.

They reproduced quickly and were wasteful like the humans. They became territorial and didn’t share their land. Werewolves were greedy hunters and didn’t share their meat. My ancestors have cursed the werewolves for a long time. Spirit has blessed you with a great purpose. “I come in peace, little sister,” the Shaman said to me with his hand raised. I was about to change into my wolf when the Shaman spoke. I didn’t like that my pack was helpless if someone were to attack.

I put myself in a fighting stance, unsure of what was happening. What the hell was going on? I felt my heart rate pick up. Kai was stuck leaning into my ear and all of the seated wolves were frozen. I locked eyes with him and everything around me froze. Unless they were mated and blessed by the Great Spirit in a ceremony, they couldn’t reproduce.”Ĭhills ran up and down my arms. But then the werewolves did something to anger the Natives and the Natives made all of the female werewolves infertile. It didn’t matter if she was mated or not. Long ago, any female werewolf could give birth to pups. “Legend says that the Shamans hold the power of our fertility. His wrists were wrapped in leather cuffs and adorned with turquoise. He had a tattoo of a jaguar on his arm, and a sharpened bone hung from a thread on his neck. He could have been forty or seventy it was hard to tell. They have been performing our mating ceremonies since I can remember.”

They are closest to spirit and some of them are shape shifters, so they know of our kind. He wasn’t a werewolf or a witch but he didn’t smell human. I took a deep breath and took in his scent.
