Chosen Legacy

I stared across the clearing into the piercing golden eyes of the wolf I had seen countless times before. Despite our frequent encounters, this was the first time we were face to face. While running, a single word echoed in my mind repeatedly: "Mate! Mate! Mate!" Initially, I thought it was me saying it, but the voice wasn't quite mine. It was similar yet not an exact match. "Is that you?" I asked myself as I fled deeper into the forest. My strength was waning. "Is that really you?" I sobbed with relief. Rika is nineteen and harbors a secret from her family. She is a wolf shifter in the world's most renowned pack. As the daughter of Trinity and Reece Gray, the King and Queen of all shifters and magic users, Rika feels her connection to her wolf slipping away day by day. The fear gnaws at her that one day she might lose her wolf entirely. Complicating matters further, Rika and her twin brother Reagan have been tasked with fostering peace between humans and non-humans now that the veil of secrecy has lifted. The world now knows that vampires, werewolves, witches, Fae, werebears, and more are real. Not everyone is happy about this revelation. Their mission includes fostering positive relationships with humans, finding those responsible for attacks on supernatural beings, and navigating life while seeking their own mates—a daunting challenge indeed. Amidst these tasks, Rika, Reagan, and other children of legendary lineages must learn to be themselves in an irrevocably changed world. Emotions will run high as the Chosen Legacy fights for both humans and non-humans. "Rika, you need to tell someone about this. You need to share what's happening," Reagan said, glaring at me as I battled an inner emptiness. "I can't, Reagan. You don't understand what it's like to lose a part of yourself." "You're right, I don't. But things won't improve unless you take action." His anger made his eyes flash bright blue in the night. Their glow wasn't just from the moon; it was his power, the essence of my brother. "Leave me alone," I snapped, running away. I held back tears so he wouldn't see how much this hurt. Worse, I couldn't let him know it was too late—that my wolf was already gone.
